Translations and annotations of key words in chapter 13 of Journey to the West

Translating is the process of converting one language into another. Notes were added to the translated text by the translator according to the readers 'reading needs. They were explanations, explanations, or personal understandings that were not in the original. The content of the annotation was mainly to supplement background materials, introduce local customs, introduce people or specific time, introduce social and cultural knowledge, and explain what the translator thought should be added. It was an indispensable means for the translator to achieve the purpose of translation. In the practice of translation, the translator's "whether to annotate, when to annotate, and how to annotate" was often handled according to personal judgment and even preference. However, there were some standards for the application of "annotation" techniques, such as conciseness and clarity, understanding of the original text when the annotation must be made, targeted, clearly marked, appropriate location, and the form of annotation according to the length and subject of the original text (note in the sentence, note at the end of the page, note at the end of the text, etc.). Due to cultural differences, annotations were basically cultural annotations, except for some professional articles that annotate the language itself. In proverb and literary translation works, although annotations may affect the fluency of the translation, they played an irreplaceable role in conveying the cultural content of the original work. The novel "Listening to the Rain in Green Bamboo and Watching the Egrets" is equally wonderful. Everyone is welcome to click and read it!

Part of the original text and translation of "Heavenly Works" are as follows: " A man cannot live for long, but the grain gives birth to him.

Preface: " The heavens and the earth are endless, and there are tens of thousands of things. And things are also due to it. It is not human power to complete it without leaving it behind." [Note: It was formed indirectly.] Under the cover of the sky and above the earth, there are tens of thousands of species, and everything changes randomly into various forms without missing a single one.

There are thousands of things, must wait until the oral vision to understand, and how much? Among all things, there is no difference between the living and the beneficial, each half of which is contained.

The painter replied: It is difficult to draw dogs and horses. The king of Qi asked again, what is the easiest thing to paint? The painter replied: Painting ghosts and spirits is the easiest. Because dogs and horses were seen every day, it was easy to tell whether the painting was good or not at a glance. No one saw ghosts and monsters, so the painter could paint them however he wanted. Strong: Beautiful, beautiful. Ji Kang's "Fu on the Guqin":"The sound is strong and far-reaching." The sky is above, the earth is below, and there are all things in between. The Book of Changes said,"Once you have achieved your goal, you should follow the changes of the Tao. You should try to turn the situation around and be determined to achieve your goal."

In Journey to the West, different characters had different characteristics, which made it difficult for them to annotate. The Monkey King was a character that was easier to write comments on. Judging from his life in Flowerfruit Mountain, he was free and happy in his early days, living with the monkeys without worries. The annotation could start from this primitive nature of freedom and analyze the influence of this state on his later personality. For example, his unruly personality that dared to challenge the rules of the Heavenly Court might have originated from this unrestrained life in his early days. Moreover, his thoughts on life and death had led to his determination to seek immortality. This change reflected his foresight and thinking about the meaning of life. There were many comments from the perspective of philosophy and character development. The scene of Sun Wukong wreaking havoc in the Heavenly Palace was also very suitable for annotation. His resistance against the gods of the Heavenly Court reflected his spirit of resistance, and the reasons for his resistance could be noted, such as the oppression of the Heavenly Court's hierarchy (experience of being conferred the title of Ma Wen). His methods of resistance and the remarkable abilities he displayed in the face of many challenges could also be commented on from the perspective of mythological literature's imagination and plot promotion. Zhu Bajie was also an easy character to annotate. His gluttony, laziness, and lecherous personality were distinct. The comments could be developed around these characteristics to discuss his role in the team. For example, his weaknesses often caused conflicts and jokes within the team. At the same time, they also reflected the weaknesses of human nature, making the story more interesting and realistic. He would occasionally show bravery and loyalty, and this complexity was also good material for comments. Tang Sanzang was also suitable for annotation. His firm faith was the core of the story, from the time he went to the West to learn the scriptures despite the difficulties and dangers. It could be seen how the power of religious faith supported him in the face of various temptations (such as the love temptation of the king of the Kingdom of Women) and dangers. The way he taught his disciples, such as his Golden Hoop Incantation and his control over Sun Wukong, also reflected his leadership style, which could be commented on. <a href="/?from=ask_words" style="color:red" target="_blank">Read more exciting novels for free</a>
