Abstract

At present, the domestic has been submitted for publication Shakespeare sonnet translations up to 10 kinds. Overall, these translations translator translation method of the same standard in accordance with the translation the temper justice of the other roughly evaluate up, may wish to say most translations are no shortage of faithful more than poetic taste is suspected, the reader is at best only learn about the contents of the original poem, can not be obtained due aesthetic pleasure. In addition, individual translations even Europeanized taste full read Ji and hard to read, puzzling. In comparison, the 1990s, Mr. Guzhengkun launched translation as good people have a fresh feeling. Focus on poetry translation equivalent shift in the translation process, Mr. Koo, fully taking into account the differences in the expression of both English and Chinese, English and Chinese poetic form different, and asked readers to the ability to accept and aesthetic habits to maximize played a Chinese wording advantage, appropriate to learn the language of classical Chinese poetry and rhetorical, and thus enhance the translating poetry poetic charm, enhanced the readability of the translation.

We believe that some of the concepts in the equivalence principle can be used to more fully explain the purpose of literary appreciation and aesthetic translation activities. Poetry translation, for example, the \for the purpose of ordinary readers, both which one is better, the evaluation criteria should be dynamic. Be contemplation, most of Shakespeare's sonnets Chinese Translations prefer the form of peer-to-peer, combined with the translator is not good for necessary modifications will inevitably produce a feeling of pleasure, and thus for the general reader. Instead, Koo translation focus on \At the same time, the success of the translation also proved the significance of the applicability of some of the concepts in the effective theory of poetry translation in poetic form, language, rhetoric and processing can not be ignored.
