人氣女星趙麗穎和她老公馮紹峰領銜主演的電視劇《知否知否應是綠肥紅瘦》，在上個月底即3月29號又開始了第二輪全國獨播，頗受歡迎。
“知否知否應是綠肥紅瘦” 出自于宋代女詩人李清照的詞《如夢令》，原文如下：
《如夢令》——李清照
昨夜雨疏風驟，濃睡不消殘酒。試問卷簾人，卻道海棠依舊。知否，知否？應是綠肥紅瘦。
我們看一下2位翻譯大家是怎么英文翻譯這首宋詞的：
To the Tune Ru Meng Ling—— 楊憲益 英譯
Last night the rain was light, the wind fierce,
And deep sleep did not dispel the effects of wine.
When I ask the maid rolling up the curtains,
She answers, “The crab-apple blossoms look the same.”
I cry, “Can’t you see? Can’t you see?”
The green leaves are fresh but the red flowers are fading.
Tune”Like A Dream”—— 許淵沖 英譯
Last night the wind was strong and rain was fine,
Sound sleep did not dispel the taste of wine.
I ask the maid who’s rolling up the screen,
“The same crab-apple tree,” she says,” is seen.”
“Don’t you know,
O don’t you know？
The red should Languish and the green must grow?”
