求译的对联共有七幅:
第一幅乃春节古联:
春为一岁首,梅占百花魁。
第二幅乃俺拙作:
春风昼唤李商隐,梅雨晨拂曹雪葵。
这幅对联企图用两个人名来达到双关的效果,但不成功,因为“李商隐”没有双关,修改如下:
春风昼唤黄山谷,梅雨晨拂曹雪葵。
“黄山谷”是北宋诗人黄庭坚的别号。如此则上下联最后三字既是人名又是自然景物了。
第三幅亦俺拙作:
春蚕不尽,李义山无题丝已断,
梅朵齐飞,曹宝玉有恨梦皆空。
也修改一下:
春蚕不尽,李义山无题丝已断,
梅朵齐飞,曹宝玉有梦恨皆空。
上联化自“春蚕到死丝方尽”,大家知道,李商隐以“无题诗”扬名,这些事无论涉及的是友情亲情还是爱情,都充满追求,以一个“思”字为魂,但他一辈子也没如意过,故“断”。下联说的自然是“红楼梦”了,梦既有追求也有回忆,但最后的真爱假恨都落了空,应了那句“落了片白茫茫大地真干净”!曹雪芹还咏过菊花、咏过海棠,为什么这幅对联偏选他咏的梅?主要为对出“春”意,春节么?梅是春的象征!
这幅因为用典,不大适合翻译,可以不译。但严重鼓励“偏上虎上行”的诗友!哈哈。
再增加几幅容易翻译的古联:
第四幅:
近水楼台先得月,向阳花木易为春。(宋·苏麟)
第五幅:
野火烧不尽,春风吹又生。(唐.白居易)
再集古句成两联,虽非极工,却颇逗趣:
第六幅:
春风又绿江南岸,明月还生蚌蛤胎。(宋.王安石+石孝友)
第七幅:
千载琵琶作胡语,一瓢浊酒尽余欢。(唐.杜甫+民国.李叔同)
请诸位诗友踊跃发表译作啦!对了,有个挑战版的翻译规则:
翻译出来的英文无论字多少都可以,但总音节数要与汉语原文字数相同!
讨厌挑战规则的诗友,随心所欲地翻译就是了,诗词无论哪种语言,都是先重诗意,形式为辅。
截止到目前的精彩译作(排名不分前后):
