三国演义 THE THREE KINGDOMS
The epic Chinese tale of loyalty and war in a dynamic new translation
全三卷 In Three Volumes
罗贯中 著
Translated by Yu Sumei
Edited by Ronald C. Iverson
《三国演义The Three Kingdoms》(汉英对照版)由虞苏美教授翻译,Ronald C. Iverson审订。这是第一个由中国人翻译的一百二十回《三国演义》全本,除去少量的诗歌和情节稍有省略,译文几乎做到了一一对应。译文流畅、直白、准确,还附有必要的文化注释,能够为翻译学习提供典范,也为世界了解中国的传统文化提供了一个重要途径。上海外国语大学查明建教授认为,《三国演义》不仅代表了中国古代历史小说的最高成就,也是中国古代政治和文化最生动的文学性演绎。《三国演义》将历史兴亡之感、政治权谋之术、军事之韬略、英雄之传奇、时事之诡谲、命运之难测、人性之复杂,化入紧张曲折、精彩纷呈的战争叙事之中。它既是中国人智慧的百科全书,也是华人世界的集体文化记忆,历久弥新,启人心智。虞苏美教授的译文既忠实于原著,又注重英语读者的可接受性,译笔忠实而灵活、平实而生动,向英语世界读者展现了中国式《荷马史诗》《战争与和平》之厚重与精彩。复旦大学何刚强教授这样评价本书:《三国演义》在中国家喻户晓,而要将其译成让国外读者同样能欣赏的英文读本,谈何容易!此演义风云人物众多,历史场景复杂,战场形态不一,且对各种政治势力与相关将领、官吏等的褒贬通常隐含在隐喻或典故之中,所有这些对翻译者构成莫大的挑战。虞苏美教授的英译本匠心独具,以一种高屋建瓴的笔势,将《三国演义》成功地重现给了英语读者。这部译作可谓为读者计而极尽百般技艺,令人佩服。英语地道、洗练,译文易懂、有味,是其两大显著特色,相信英语读者会喜欢它。
