漢譯英翻譯賞析：屈原的端午小詩《山鬼》英語翻譯
山鬼The Mountain Spirit
屈原Qu Yuan

若有人兮山之阿 There seem to be a man in the deep mountain,
被薜荔兮帶女籮 Clad in creeping vine and girded with ivy,
既含睇兮又宜笑 With a charming look and a becoming smile.
子慕予兮善窈窕 "Do you admire me for my lovely form?"

乘赤豹兮從文狸 She rides a red leopard - striped lynxes follwing behind -
辛夷車兮結桂旗 Her chariot of magnolia arrayed with banners of cassia,
被石蘭兮帶杜衡 Her cloak made of orchids and her girdle of azalea,
折芳馨兮遺所思 Calling sweet flowers for those dear in her heart.

余處幽篁兮終不見天 "I live in a bamboo grove, the sky unseen;
路險難兮獨後來 The road hither is steep and dangerous; I arrive alone and late.
表獨立兮山之上 Alone I stand on the mountain top
雲容容兮而在下 While the clouds gather beneath me.

杳冥冥兮羌晝晦 "All gloomy and dark is the day;
東風飄兮神靈雨 The east wind drifts and god sends down rain.
留靈修兮憺忘歸 Waiting for the divine one, I forget to go home.
歲既晏兮孰華予 The year is late. Who will now bedeck me?

采三秀兮於山間 "I pluck the larkspur on the mountain side,

君思我兮不得閑 You, my lord, are thinking of me; but you have no time,"

山中人兮芳杜若 The man in the mountain, fragrant with sweet herb,

雷填填兮雨冥冥 The thunder rumbles and the rain darkens;
猿啾啾兮狖夜鳴 The gibbons mourn, howling all the night;
風颯颯兮木蕭蕭 The wind whistles and the trees are bare.
思公子兮徒離憂 "I am thing of the young lord; I sorrow in vain."

Our people to commemorate the great patriotic poet Qu Yuan, an annual Lunar New Year Dragon Boat Festival in May every fifth day, the custom spread to the DPRK, Japan, Myanmar, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia and other countries.
Qu Yuan, lived in two thousand three hundred years ago in the Warring States era, a young man to cherish lofty aspirations, demonstrated a remarkable talent was grandson of the trust, the official "left only", according to Sima Qian's "Shi Ji" recorded in his "affairs of state and Wang proposed plans," outside "then the event guests to meet the princes," is in charge of internal affairs, foreign affairs minister.
This is the Warring States Period of Qi, Chu, Yan, Han, Zhao, Wei, Qin Qixiong hegemony of chaos, Qin Shang Yang after the appointment of increasingly powerful, often launch attacks against the six countries. Chu and Qi were only able to compete with them. In view of the situation at that time, Qu Yuan advocated improved internal and external advocates Qi Gang Qin, and thus against the interests of the upper ruling class, who was the grandson of bribery under the favorite concubine Qin Zheng Xiu, Shangguan doctor, Yoshitada sub pepper exclusion and framed.
Listen to calumny huai confused, alienated Qu Yuan, he was exiled to the north of Han, the result was the grandson of a prisoner for three years when Qin cheated, died in a foreign country.
Qu Yuan, see all of this, extreme anger. He firmly opposed to the state of Qin humiliating surrender, which was the persecution of political opponents are more serious. The new reign of King Xiang is more stupid than his father, banished Qu Yuan to the Chinese and the North than the more remote areas.
In the long life of exile, Qu Yuan did not. He insisted that his political views, and never follow the crowd. Picked up a pen writing a love for their motherland, to denounce "N group" harm the country for future generations to leave the immortal poems.
Qu Yuan, a Chinese literary history of the greatest and most distinguished Romantic poet, called him after the work is "Songs of the South." Masterpiece is the "Lament", which is the longest of Qu Yuan a lyric poem, a total of three hundred seventy-three, two thousand seven hundred and seventy seven words of the poem describes the poet to practice their own political views are being attack and persecution, must express their inner pain, faithful to the people and the feelings of the motherland.
Qu Yuan in the long journey of exile, the spirit and life suffered devastation and suffering is imagined. One day he is Singing River, encountered a fishing hermit, hermit to see him looking haggard haggard, advised him "Do not rigidly stick to", "easy-going number", and the bigwigs were in cahoots. Yuan said: "I would rather go to Xiang River flows buried in the belly of the fish; security can Haohao of white, and almost st mask secular?" Year seven to eight tests, was the capital of Chu Chi broken, the spirit of the poet has been a great blow, seeing the difficulty of breaking the country, but can not use his power, he was so frightened that in extreme disappointment and pain, the poet came to the east of the Yangtze River Miluo, bouldering and drowned. He died about sixty years old, it is the Lunar May tenth.
Two thousand years of age, which in the course of history can not be considered just a moment, but despite the drain, sk to dawn-to, the image of the poet Qu Yuan, but still remain in people's heart. Today, Dragon Boat Festival every day, people are still in the river in the dragon boat racing, the mplings, multicolored silk tie to commemorate the great poet Qu Yuan, see the works of the poet and the spirit is eternal it!
我國人民為紀念偉大愛國詩人屈原，每年農歷五月初五都要過端午節，這個風俗後來傳到了朝鮮、日本、緬甸、越南、馬來西亞、印尼等國。
屈原，生活在兩千三百多年前的戰國時代，年輕時就胸懷遠大抱負，表現出驚人的才能，得到了楚懷王信任，官至「左徒」，據司馬遷《史記》記載，他內「與王圖議國事」，外「接遇賓客，應付諸侯」，是掌管內政、外交的大臣。
戰國本是齊、楚、燕、韓、趙、魏、秦七雄爭霸的混亂時期，秦國任用商鞅變法後日益強大，常對六國發動進攻。當時只有楚國和齊國能與之抗衡。鑒於當時形勢，屈原主張改良內政，對外主張聯齊抗秦，因而侵害了上層統治階級的利益，遭到了那些受秦國賄賂的楚懷王的寵姬鄭袖、上官大夫、令尹子椒的排擠和陷害。
糊塗的懷王聽信讒言，疏遠屈原，把他放逐到漢北，結果楚懷王被秦國騙去當了三年階下囚，死在異國。
屈原看到這一切，極端氣憤。他堅決反對向秦國屈辱投降，這遭到政敵們更嚴重的迫害。新即位的楚襄王比他父親更昏庸，把屈原放逐到比漢北更偏僻的地方。
在長期的流放生活中，屈原沒有屈服。他堅持自己的政治主張，決不隨波逐流。拿起筆抒寫自己對祖國的熱愛，指斥「群小」誤國，為後人留下了千古不朽的詩篇。
屈原是中國文學史上第一個最偉大、最傑出的浪漫主義詩人，後人稱他的作品為「楚辭」。代表作是《離騷》，這是屈原作品中最長的一首抒情詩，共三百七十三句，兩千七百七十七個字，詩中敘述了詩人為實行自己的政治主張所遭受的打擊和迫害，深刻表達自己內心的痛苦、對人民和對祖國忠貞不渝的感情。
屈原在長期的流放跋涉中，精神和生活上所受的摧殘和痛苦是可想而知的。一天他正在江畔行吟，遇到一個打漁的隱者，隱者見他面色憔悴形容枯槁，就勸他「不要拘泥」、「隨和一些」，和權貴們同流合污。屈原道：「寧赴湘流葬於江魚之腹中;安能以皓皓之白，而蒙世俗之塵埃乎?」檢驗公元二七八年，楚國的都城被秦兵攻破，詩人精神上受到了極大的打擊，眼看國破之難，卻又無法施展自己的力量，他憂心如焚，在極端失望和痛苦中，詩人來到了長江東邊的汨羅江，抱石自沉。他死時大約六十二歲，正是農歷五月初五。
兩千多年的歲月，這在歷史的長河中不能算短短的一瞬了，可是盡管大江東去，暮往朝來，詩人屈原的形象卻依然留在人們心間。如今，每到端午節那天，人們仍要在江河裡劃龍舟，把粽子繫上五彩絲線來紀念偉大的詩人屈原，可見詩人的作品和精神是永存的了!

端午節的風俗：懸鍾馗像：鍾馗捉鬼，是端午節習俗， 在江淮地區， 家家懸鍾馗像， 用以鎮宅驅邪。
唐明皇開元， 自驪山講武回宮，瘧疾大發， 夢見二曳， 一大一小， 小鬼穿大紅無襠褲， 赤腳， 偷楊貴妃之香囊和明皇的玉笛。 繞殿而跑。 大鬼則穿藍袍戴帽，赤雙足。捉住小鬼， 挖悼其眼睛， 一隻吞下，明皇喝問， 大鬼奏日， 臣姓鍾馗， 即武舉不第， 願為陛下除妖魔， 皇醒後， 瘧疾愈， 於是令畫工吳道子。 照夢中所見畫成鍾馗捉鬼之圖像， 通令天下於端午時，一律張貼，以驅邪魔。
掛艾葉菖蒲：以艾葉懸於堂中，剪艾力虎形或剪綵為小虎，貼以艾葉，婦人爭相戴之，以僻邪驅瘴。用菖蒲作劍，插於門榻， 有驅魔法鬼之神效。 在端陽節，家家都以菖蒲、 艾葉、 榴花、 蒜頭、龍船花，製成人形稱為艾人。 食菖蒲可以成仙，可以長生， 漢武帝欲求長主之術，曾吃菖蒲兩年。
賽龍舟：當時楚人因捨不得賢臣屈原死去， 於是有許多人劃船趕迫拯救， 是為尤舟競渡之起源， 後每年五月五日劃龍舟以紀念之。 借劃龍舟驅散江中之魚， 以免魚吃掉屈原的屍體。競渡之習， 盛行於吳，越、楚。
台灣開始有尤舟競渡是始於清乾隆二十九年， 由當時台灣知府蔣元君在台南市法華寺半月池主持友誼賽。 現在台灣每年五月五日均舉行尤舟競賽， 香港有競渡之舉，近英國人亦仿效我國人作法， 組織鬼佬隊，進行競賽活動。
據近代著名的愛國學者聞一多先生的《端午考》說：「端午節本是吳越民族舉行圖騰祭妃的節日， 而賽龍舟便是祭儀中半宗教。半娛樂性節目。」
四五千年前， 居住在原始圖騰社會的水鄉部落的人民，受到蛇蟲、 疾病的侵害和水患威脅，為了抵禦這些天災， 他們尊奉想像中的具有威力的龍作為自己的祖先兼保護神（即圖騰）， 並把船建造成龍形、 畫上龍紋， 每年端午舉行競渡。以表示對龍的尊敬，也說明自己是龍的子孫，龍的傳人。
吃粽子：荊楚之人在五月五日煮糯米飯或蒸粽糕投入江中， 以祭祀屈原，為恐魚吃掉，故用竹筒盛裝糯米飯擲下，以後漸用粽葉包米代替竹筒。
飲雄黃酒：雄黃本屬礦物， 含有三硫化砷成分，與酒混合。即成雄黃酒，用以驅蟲解五毒，小兒塗於頭額。耳鼻，手足心。 並灑牆壁問， 以法諸毒。流傳民間之《白蛇傳》故事，即是以雄黃酒解蛇虺諸毒，而現白蛇原形。此種習佰，在長江流域地區的人家很盛行。
游百病：為盛行於貴州地區的端午習俗。 男女老幼往野外遊玩， 穿新衣， 在中午一時左右， 路上山上或樹下擠滿人群，手抱花草， 非常快樂。晚上回家將花草和水煮開洗澡，老年人稱為「游百病」及「洗百病」，不出去游百病及洗百病的人，一年到頭就不會獲得吉利。
佩香囊：端午節小孩佩香囊，不但有避邪驅瘟之意，而且有襟頭點綴之風。香囊內藏有硃砂。 雄黃。香葯， 外包以絲布，清香四溢， 再以五色絲線弦扣成索，作各種不同形狀，結成一串，形形色色，玲瓏奪目。
帶葫蘆：端午節帶葫蘆是歷來的風俗，小孩、成人佩帶葫蘆，不但有避邪驅瘟之意，而且有襟頭點綴之風。佩帶傳統文化寓意"福祿"的葫蘆，可以化戾氣為平和，增強福緣氣場
The Dragon Boat Festival occurs on the fifth day of the fifth moon of the lunar calendar(陰歷). It is one of the three most important of the annual Chinese festivals. The other two are the Autumn Moon Festival and Chinese New Year.
The story of this colorful festival concerns a famous Chinese scholar-statesman(政治家) named Chu Yuan(屈原) who, some three centuries before the birth of Christ, served the King of Chu(楚懷王)ring the Warring States period. As a loyal minister(大臣), Chu Yuan at first enjoyed the full confidence and respect of his sovereign(君主). Eventually, through the intrigues of his rivals, he was discredited(不足信的, 不名譽的).
Chu Yuan was never able to regain(恢復) the emperor's favor and on the fifth day of the fifth moon in the year 295 B.C.(Before Christ), at the age of 37, Chu Yuan clasped a stone to his chest and plunged into the Milo River(汨羅江) in the Hunan Province(湖南省).
Respecting the minister as an upright(正直的) and honest man, the people who lived in the area jumped into their boats and rushed out in a vain search for him. This unsuccessful rescue attempt is a part of what the Dragon Boat Festival commemorates every year.
Probably the most exciting and interesting aspect of the festival is the racing of the Dragon Boats. These races not only symbolize the people's attempt to save Chu Yuan, they also demonstrate the Chinese virtues(美德) of cooperation and teamwork.
Another activity of the Festival is the making and eating of a kind of mpling called Tzungtzu (粽子). When it became known that Chu Yuan was gone forever, the people, living along the river, threw cooked rice into the water as a sacrifice(祭品) to their dead hero. They wrapped(包) rice in bamboo leaves(粽葉), and stuffed(填滿) it with ham, beans, bean paste(豆沙), salted egg yokes, sausages, nuts, and/or vegetables.
To the Chinese the fifth lunar moon is more than just the Dragon Boat Festival. Since antiquity(古代), they have believed that this month is a pestilential and danger-fraught(瘟疫的及充滿危險的) period. Children born in this month are said to be difficult to raise(撫養), and people tend to concentrate their efforts ring this time attempting to protect their families from ills and misfortune. The day of the Dragon Boat Festival is customarily the time when cleaning and sanitation(衛生) are stressed(著重, 強調). Most families hang calamus(菖蒲) and artemisia(艾草) above their doors, both as a decoration and as a preventive against pestilence.
Ancient folk medicines(民間葯物) such as realgar(雄黃酒)are added to the food eaten on the Festival day. This is believed to prevent disease and to promote a healthy digestive system(消化器官). The drinking of realgar in wine supposedly relieves(解除) the effects of poisons accumulated in human bodies.
The sachets (Hsiang Pao in Chinese香包) are very popular with children and they vie(競爭) with each other to collect as many as possible. Children are not the only ones who collect Hsiang Pao. Older people are often given them as a symbol of respect, and they are highly prized because of the intricate(復雜的) and beautiful embroidery(刺綉) that adorns(裝飾) them.
The Dragon Boat Festival is an entertaining and enjoyable event. It gives the observer an opportunity to glimpse a part of the rich Chinese cultural heritage.

祝你開心如意！O(∩_∩)O~~

端午節的由來

58英語

端午節，又稱為五五節，因為端午節是在農歷的五月五日，是三個重要的中國節慶之一，其他兩個分別是中秋節和農歷新年。
這個節日的由來是古代中國有一位博學多聞的官吏屈原，他是一位愛民而且又受到尊崇的官吏，但是由於一位充滿嫉妒的官吏陷害，從此在朝廷中被皇帝所冷落。由於無法獲得皇帝的重視，屈原在憂郁的情況下投汨羅江自盡。
由於對屈原的愛戴，汨羅江畔的居民匆忙的劃船在江內尋找屈原，並且將米丟入汨羅江中，以平息汨羅江中的蛟龍。即使他們當時並沒有找到屈原，但是他們的行為，直到今天在端午節的時候，仍然被人們傳頌紀念著。 www.58en.com

風俗習慣端午節最重要的活動是龍舟競賽，比賽的隊伍在熱烈的鼓聲中劃著他們多彩的龍舟前進。這項活動的靈感是來自於當時汨羅江畔的居民，在江中劃船救屈原，而這個傳統也一直保持了數個世紀。在端午節時受歡迎的食物就是粽子，粽子是以米包著肉、花生、蛋黃及其他材料，再以竹葉包裹。而粽子的傳統則來由於汨羅江邊的漁夫，將米丟入江中平息江中的蛟龍，希望他們不要將屈原吃掉。農歷的五月，也就是端午節的這個時節，對中國人而言，除了屈原的故事還有許多其他重要的意義。許多中國人相信五月是一年中容易引發疾病的危險時節，因此必須有許多防備家人生病的措施。許多家庭會將一種特別的植物-艾草掛在門口，作為保護之用，而人們也會掛帶香包，它是以含有多種香味的葯用植物所做成，也可以保護人們遠離疾病。
農歷五月初五端午節，是我國最大的傳統節日之一。端午亦稱端五，「端」的意思和「初」相同，稱「端五」也就如稱「初五」；端五的「五」字又與「午」相通，按地支順序推算，五月正是「午」月。又因午時為「陽辰」，所以端五也叫「端陽」。五月五日，月、日都是五，故稱重五，也稱重午。此外，端午還有許多別稱，如：夏節、浴蘭節、女兒節，天中節、地臘、詩人節等等。 字串9

端午節的別稱之多，間接說明了端午節俗起源的歧出。事實也正是這樣的。關於端午節的來源，時至今日至少有四、五種說法，諸如：紀念屈原說；吳越民族圖騰祭說；起於三代夏至節說；惡月惡日驅避說，等等。迄今為止，影響最廣的端午起源的觀點是紀念屈原說。在民俗文化領域，我國民眾把端午節的龍舟競渡和吃粽子都與屈原聯系起來。傳說屈原投江以後，當地人民傷其死，便駕舟奮力營救，因有競渡風俗；又說人們常放食品到水中致祭屈原，但多為蛟龍所食，後因屈原的提示才用楝樹葉包飯，外纏彩絲，做成後來的粽子樣。 58en.com

端午節的習俗主要有：吃粽子於門上插艾或菖蒲驅邪，系長命縷，飲雄黃酒或以之消毒，賽龍舟等等。粽子又叫「角黍」、「筒粽」，前者是由於形狀有稜角、內裹粘米而得名，後者顧名思義大概是用竹筒盛米煮成。端午節吃粽子，在魏晉時代已經很盛行。這種食品是在每年端午和夏至兩個節日里食用。粽子還是一種節日往來的禮品。到了唐宋時期，粽子已極為有名，市場上常有粽子賣。現在，我們過端午節仍然免不了要吃幾只粽子。粽子有不少花樣，有南北之別，東西之分。南方常用紅棗、花生、鹹肉等混在糯米中製成，也多見不雜別的食品，而去品味粽葉的清香的；北方多以棗、果脯等作為粽子的餡心。小小的粽子，似乎已經成了中國傳統的象徵，在人們心中占據著一定的位置。 過去端午節還有躲午的習俗，此種習俗源於一種信仰，即：五月為「 惡 月」 ，瘟瘡蔓延，重五是個不吉利的日子，所以父母都於是日將未滿周歲的兒女帶往外婆家躲避，以逃脫災禍，故稱躲午。這無疑是古代科學不發達而產生的觀念，因為五月酷暑將至，蚊蟲滋生，在沒有醫療衛生設備的民間，容易發生傳染病，遂給人們帶來一種恐懼心理，於是產生躲午習俗，如今這一節日的一些古老習俗已經隨著社會變遷而消失了，但吃粽子、賽龍舟等習俗仍然流行 。
