16、 Du Fu, known as the Sage of Poetry, lived and wrote in the eighth century, and his work is still available to modern Chinese readers. Du Fu, in fact, is still widely quoted (引用) in China today, and he has had a great influence on Chinese poetry in the past 1,200 years. However, the poets complete w

Conant University Professor Stephen Owen, who spent eight years on The Poetry of Du Fu, a 3,000translation published by De Gruyter, has completed the first English translation of the complete works of Du Fu.Because Du Fu, like Shakespeare,

18、is known for great width in subject, in the way he uses language to pass on different registers (不同場合用的語言和文體) (see “Out with the Sake, In With the Wine”) and layered (多層次的) meanings he is one of the most challenging poets to translate. Chinese poetry, a literary tradition in which tenses are absent,

19、 pronouns rare, and the use of the singular and plural forms are hard to understand, is well known for seeming ambiguous (模糊不清的) at times. Within that tradition, the interpretation of Du Fus work is especially contested. Owens critical edition, in which his translations face the original texts, brin

24、s right over us. Jim and I jumped off the raft (木筏) into the water. The boat hit the raft and went on up the river. When I came up out of the water, I couldnt see Jim anywhere.

They made a terrible noise and someone called from the house, “Whos there?”“George Jackson,” I answered quickly. “Ive fallen off a river boat.”Well, the people who lived in that house w

26、ere very kind, and they took me in and gave me some new clothes and a good meal. I told them that my family were all dead, so they said I could stay with them as long as I wanted.

27、to me and said, “Come with me!” Together, we went down to some trees by the river. “In there!” he said and went away.On the ground, I found a man, asleep. It was Jim!

How do you say the word in French? In Chinese? In your language? Although people usually know what the word means, i

43、t sometimes has no exact translation. Its not surprising, because the idea of home is different from country to country, and from person to person. A home is more than a roof and four walls.

This means that we must keep changing our clocks to keep in step with Earths time. Weve all heard of leap years. Our calendars
