天净沙·秋思 马致远(元)

Tune: Sunny Sand

Autumn Thoughts

许渊冲(译)

枯藤老树昏鸦

Over old trees wreathed with rotten vines fly evening crows;

小桥流水人家

Under a small bridge near a cottage a stream flows;

古道西风瘦马

On ancient road in the west wind a lean horse goes.

夕阳西下

Westward declines the sun;

断肠人在天涯

Far, far from home is the heartbroken one.

中文版译文

天色黄昏,一群乌鸦落在枯藤缠绕的老树上,发出凄厉的哀鸣。

小桥下流水哗哗作响,小桥边庄户人家炊烟袅袅。

古道上一匹瘦马,顶着西风艰难地前行。

夕阳渐渐地失去了光泽,从西边落下。

凄寒的夜色里,只有孤独的旅人漂泊在遥远的地方。

文稿:

This year's "Aurora Borealis" was given to Chinese translator, 93-year-old Professor Xu Yuanchong after three hours of heated discussion.

Perpetua Uiterwaal, member of the International Federation of Translators and juror of the panel, announced the reason for presenting this award to Professor Xu.

"The reason we give the first prize to Professor Xu Yuanchong has involved his career in building bridges among the world's Chinese, English and French speaking peoples. He has translated Chinese literature extensively into English and French, as well as having translated major works from western languages into Chinese, and has also published works on translation theory. Jurors took into consideration the vast number of readers around the world who might be reached by Professor Xu Yuanchong's translations."

(许渊冲教授一直致力于为使用汉语、英语和法语的人们建立起沟通的桥梁。他将大量中国文学翻译成英文和法文,并将一些重要著作从英、法文翻译成中文。除此之外,他还出版了翻译理论方面的著作。许渊冲教授的英、法文译著以及他的英译中、法译中著作有可能影响到的潜在读者数量给评委留下了深刻的印象。)

Xu Yuanchong is best-known for his efforts in translating traditional Chinese poems into English and French.

I have always taken great pleasure in translating Chinese, English and French literature. And I'm still translating at the age of 93. I simply love it."

Xu Yuanchong was born in 1921 in Nanchang, capital city of east China's Jiangxi Province. His mother, who was well educated and good at painting, had a great impact on Xu in his pursue of beauty and aesthetic feelings. His uncle was a translator who translated Chinese plays into English and even had personal connections with the British dramatist George Bernard Shaw.

These achievements made Xu develop a profound interest in learning English. He studied in the best local school, where his English had been outstanding. Then he took foreign language studies at Tsinghua University after he studied abroad. And finally he became a professor in English and French in Peking University.

Wang Gangyi, head of the Chinese delegation to the awarding ceremony, speaks highly of Xu's achievements.
