献花寄哀思，鞠躬敬故人。

又是一年清明节，让我们尽情道出对亲人绻绻的思念。历代很多文人都曾将清明节作为诗词歌赋的对象，最熟知的要数唐代诗人杜牧的《清明》了。下面就向大家介绍一下这首诗的几个英译版本。

原诗：

《清明》

(唐)杜牧

清明时节雨纷纷，

路上行人欲断魂。

借问酒家何处有？

牧童遥指杏花村。

不同英译版本：

吴钧陶英译

It drizzles thick and fast on the Pure Brightness Day,

I travel with my heart lost in dismay.

"Is there a public house somewhere, cowboy?"

He points at Apricot Village faraway.

许渊冲英译

A drizzling rain falls like tears on the Mourning Day;

The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.

Where can a wineshop be found to drown his sad hours?

A cowherd points to a cot 'mid apricot flowers.

蔡廷干英译

The rain falls thick and fast on All Souls' Day,

The men and women sadly move along the way.

They ask where wineshops can be found or where to rest ----

And there the herdboy's fingers Almond-Town suggest.

孙大雨英译

Upon the Clear-and-Bright Feast of spring, the rain drizzleth down in spray.

Pedestrians on countryside ways, in gloom are pinning away.

When asked "Where a tavern fair for rest, is hereabouts to be found",

The shepherd boy the Apricot Bloom Vill, doth point to afar and say.

杨宪益、戴乃迭英译

It drizzles endless during the rainy season in spring,

Travelers along the road look gloomy and miserable.

When I ask a shepherd boy where I can find a tavern,

He points at a distant hamlet nestling amidst apricot blossoms.

万昌盛、王中英译

The ceaseless drizzle drips all the dismal day,

So broken-hearted fares the traveler on the way.

When asked where could be found a tavern bower,

A cowboy points to yonder village of the apricot flower.

吴伟雄英译

It drizzles thick and fast on the Mourning Day,

The mourner's heart is going to break on his way.

When asked for a wineshop to drown his sad hours?

A cowboy points to a hamlet amid apricot flowers.

一、清明时节雨纷纷全诗英语版

（唐）杜牧《清明》英文版：

It drizzles endless during the rainy season in spring,

Travelers along the road look gloomy and miserable.

When I ask a shepherd boy where I can find a tavern,

He points at a distant hamlet nestling amidst apricot blossoms.

这个翻译版本由我国著名翻译家夫妇，杨宪益和戴乃迭所翻译。他俩合作翻译过全本《红楼梦》、全本《儒林外史》等名著，在国内外广受好评。

这首诗歌采用“无韵译法”，虽然没有押韵，但读起来丝毫没有违和感，有种“无韵胜有韵，无招胜有招”的感觉。

这首译文用简单的词句，把原文的含义、意境呈现得很到位，真正体现了 less is more 的境界。

首先第一句里的 endless，就比吴钧陶的 thick and fast 要恰当，体现了“雨纷纷”的本质。

第一句后面的 the rainy season in spring（春天的雨季），并没有把原句中的“清明时节”给硬翻出来，显得比较柔和，也便于外国人理解，这也是我最欣赏的一点。

另外，最让我陶醉的一组用词出现在最后一句话，非常有画面感。作者把“杏花村”，处理成“a distant hamlet nestling amidst apricot blossoms”（一个依偎在杏花丛中的遥远村落）。

nestling 用得非常精妙，描绘出村子“依偎、舒服地处在、坐落”的状态；blossom 一词也非常美妙，颇有“十里桃（杏）花，三生三世”的意境。

《清明》唐|杜牧 原版：

清明时节雨纷纷，

路上行人欲断魂。

借问酒家何处有？

牧童遥指杏花村。
