三字经怎样用英文翻译

“对中国人而言，《三字经》是朗朗上口的启蒙教材，但翻译成英语却很难同时兼顾押韵和中心思想。”孟凡君说，考虑到这个因素，他准备了两个版本，分押韵版和不押韵版。最终，出版社选择不押韵、意蕴更确切的版本。
　　《三字经》曾被翻译公司翻译多次，迄今约有十几个英语版本，孟凡君的版本有什么不同？孟凡君说，此前的一些版本，要么不重阐述圣贤之道，要么不适合外国人的语言习惯。
　　孟凡君说，他也得到过一些反馈意见，大家普遍认为他的版本最大特色是通俗易懂，没有语言上的拐外抹角。
　　“这是几年前的作品，现在看来，当时对圣贤之道的了解还不够。如果现在再翻译的话，我会全部重来。”孟凡君说，比如“人之初，性本善”里的“善”并不是good，因为在《周易》里“继之者善也，成之者性也”，意思是人性自动走向圆满，这是人的本性，追求好的、圆满的。“把中国的圣贤之道自觉或不自觉地自然继承下去，这就是善。”因此，孟凡君认为，这就没法翻译了，如果下次再翻，就只能做注释。
　　作为教师的他读《红楼梦》超过70遍。
　　孟凡君是西南大学外国语学院的英语老师，但在学校，他却以讲《红楼梦》出名。他说，年轻时深受导师影响，关注中西古典文学，力求将中西古典文化完全贯通，所以对中西文化作品都很喜欢。
　　从中学到现在，孟凡君熟读《红楼梦》已超过70遍。现在，他已经开始用毛笔抄写其中的经典段落，甚至默写一部分，“例如黛玉写的《桃花词》、大观园里的《海棠诗》、《菊花诗》等。”
　　“有时读到《周易》《道德经》一些内容，脑海中会不自觉跳出《红楼梦》里的情节。因为，《红楼梦》本身融合以道儒佛为代表的中华传统文化。”孟凡君说，《红楼梦》帮助他将其他经典理解得更透彻。
　　小赵是西南大学新闻传媒学院研二学生。他说：“课堂上，英语翻译孟老师运用了很多传统文化里的知识，例如讲到中医诊断，他甚至会提前请教中医。孟老师的课一般要提前2、3个小时才能抢座位，每周三讲《周易》，周五讲《红楼梦》，寒暑假还免费为学生开课。”
　　"On Chinese," Three Character Classic "is a catchy primer, but translated into English is very difficult to take into account the rhyme and the central idea." Meng Fanjun said, considering this factor, he prepared two versions, rhyme and non rhyming editions. In the end, the publishing house chooses a less rhyme and more precise version.
　　"Three Character Classic" has been Nanjing translation company translation for many times so far, about a dozen English version, Meng Fanjuns version of what is different? Some of the previous versions, Meng Fanjun said, either do not emphasize the sages, or are not suitable for the language habits of foreigners.
　　Meng Fanjun said he had also received some feedback, and it was generally believed that the biggest feature of his version was easy to understand and no language abduction.
　　"This is the work of a few years ago, and now it seems that the understanding of the saints way was not enough. If I translate it now, Ill come back all over again. " Meng Fanjun said, such as "Men at their birth, good in nature" in the "good" is not good, because in the "book of changes" in the "following the good, the person is also", meaning humanity automatically to fullness, this is human nature, the pursuit of a good and complete. "It is good to inherit naturally or unconsciously in the way of the sages of China." So, Meng Fanjun thinks, this is not translated, if the next turn, it can only be annotated.
　　As a teacher
　　Reading the dream of the Red Mansion more than 70 timesMeng Fanjun is an English teacher at the school of foreign languages at Southwestern University, but at school, he is famous for his dream of Red Mansions. He said that when he was young, he was deeply influenced by his tutor, he paid close attention to Chinese and Western classical literature, and tried to fully integrate Chinese and Western classical culture, so he liked Chinese and Western cultural works very much.
　　From the middle school to the present, Meng Fanjun read "a dream of Red Mansions" has been more than 70 times. Now, he has started to use the classic paragraph brush copying them, even write a part, such as the "peach blossom" Daiyu written word ", Grand Garden", "chrysanthemum Begonia poem" poem "etc..""Sometimes reading" Zhou Yi "," Tao Te Jing "some content, the mind will not consciously jump out of the" dream of Red Mansions "in the plot. Because, "a dream of Red Mansions" itself to Buddhism as the representative of the fusion of Chinese traditional culture." Meng Fanjun said, "a dream of Red Mansions" helped him understand other classics more thoroughly.
　　Xiao Zhao is the two student of the school of Journalism and media at Southwestern University. In class, he said, "in class, teacher Meng used a lot of knowledge in traditional culture, such as the diagnosis of traditional Chinese medicine. He even consulted traditional Chinese medicine in advance." Mr. Mengs class usually takes 2 or 3 hours in advance to grab seats. Every week on Wednesday, Zhouyi is talked about. On Friday, a dream of Red Mansions is introduced. Students in winter and summer vacation are also free.
