当翻译成为一场语言的狂欢：评欧阳昱《译心雕虫》

在这个巴别塔轰然倒塌的时代，翻译早已超越了单纯的语言转换，成为一场跨越时空的文化狂欢。欧阳昱的《译心雕虫》以其独特的非小说文本形式，为我们打开了一扇窥探翻译艺术本质的窗口。这部作品不是一本传统的翻译理论著作，而是一场关于语言、文化与身份认同的思想盛宴。


一、翻译：在语言的裂缝中舞蹈


《译心雕虫》中最令人震撼的，莫过于作者对语言本质的深刻洞察。在"翻译即背叛"这一章节中，欧阳昱以博尔赫斯的《小径分岔的花园》为例，展示了翻译过程中不可避免的意义流失与重构。他指出，每一次翻译都是一次创造性的背叛，这种背叛不是对原作的亵渎，而是对语言可能性的探索。

在"不可译之物的光芒"一节中，作者以李白的《静夜思》为例，展示了诗歌翻译中那些永远无法完全传递的意境与韵味。这种不可译性不是翻译的失败，而是语言独特魅力的彰显。


通过"语言的狂欢与重生"，欧阳昱向我们展示了翻译如何成为一种新的创作形式。他以自己翻译的澳大利亚土著诗歌为例，展示了翻译如何突破语言界限，创造出全新的艺术体验。


二、文化：在翻译的镜像中重构


在"文化身份的流动与重构"中，作者以中英双语写作的经验为例，探讨了翻译如何影响作家的文化认同。这种跨越语言界限的写作，不仅改变了表达方式，更重塑了作者的思维方式。


"跨文化对话的可能性"一章通过比较中西文学经典的不同译本，展示了翻译如何搭建起文化交流的桥梁。欧阳昱特别指出，好的翻译不是简单的语言转换，而是文化的深度对话。


在"翻译作为文化批判"的论述中，作者以《红楼梦》的英译本为例，展示了翻译如何成为一种文化批判的工具，揭示出不同文化之间的权力关系。


三、自我：在翻译的迷宫中寻找


"翻译者的自我放逐与回归"是全书最具哲学深度的章节之一。欧阳昱以本雅明的翻译理论为基础，探讨了翻译者如何在两种语言之间寻找自我定位。


在"语言的牢笼与解放"中，作者通过分析卡夫卡作品的翻译，展示了语言如何既是表达的障碍，又是突破限制的工具。这种悖论正是翻译的魅力所在。


最后，"翻译作为存在方式"提出了一个深刻的命题：在这个全球化的时代，我们是否都成为了某种意义上的翻译者？欧阳昱以自己的跨文化经历为例，给出了肯定的回答。

在这个语言与文化不断碰撞的时代，《译心雕虫》为我们提供了一种全新的思考翻译的方式。欧阳昱以其独特的跨文化视角和深厚的语言功底，向我们展示了翻译不仅仅是语言的转换，更是一场关于文化、身份与存在的深刻探索。这部作品不仅是一部关于翻译的著作，更是一面照见当代文化困境的镜子。它提醒我们，在这个日益全球化的世界中，保持语言的多样性和文化的独特性，或许是我们对抗文化同质化的最后堡垒。

LOWER DOWNS, RUBBISH AND LOW POETRY by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
Beauty is so far from being the dominant principle of modern poetry that many of the most splendid modern works are clearly portrayals of ugliness - Friedrich Schlegel ( On the Study of Greek Poetry , 1797) Contemporary Chinese poetry has unashamedly turned from the sublime and sacred to the vulgar and profane. In April 1999 at the Panfeng Conference in Pinggu County, Beijing, poets split into two camps, the  zhishi fenzi  (intellectual) and the  minjian . 1  The poets in the intellectual camp (Wang Jiaxin, Ouyang Jianghe, Xi Chuan, Zang Di and others) were mostly well-published, anthologised, critically acclaimed, well-travelled and internationally well-connected. As university professor and poetry critic Cheng Guangwei noted, much of their poetry reflects the influences of Western literary masters such as Yeats, Rilke, Lowell, Pound, Baudelaire, Milosz, Pasternak and Brodsky. 2  The  minjian camp (Yu Jian, Yi Sha, Xu Jiang and others) critiqued these infl...

Self Publishing, a poem by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
In a way, everything is self publishing. When you open your mouth to talk, you are self publishing because you don’t want someone else to speak for you even if he or she were the speech writer for Howard or Bush or Mao Zedong. When the rain decides to fall it is self publishing, on a regional scale, sometimes on a statewide scale. You can’t dismiss it as unworthily self publishing because it doesn’t fall on a national scale or international scale. Rivers in the world are self publishing on a daily and nightly basis. Even a little creek is self publishing when it winds its way through an industrial zone clogged with toxicity and waste. Birds never remain quiet because they don’t get paid for calling, their ways of self publishing that never is actually recorded in human history, not even in birds’ history, and when sometimes it does get recorded as in relaxation music they still don’t get paid and they still keep singing, their ways of self publishing. Some great self publish...

Wenche Ommundsen: Not for the Faint-Hearted: Ouyang Yu: The Angry Chinese Poet

By Ouyang Yu

Wenche Ommundsen: Not for the Faint-Hearted: Ouyang Yu: The Angry Chinese Poet [PAGE 595] In the title poem of Ouyang Yu's first collection,  Moon Over Melbourne , a homesick Chinese poet compares the Australian moon with the moon celebrated by countless poets in his homeland. The moon is the same, but at the same time it is different. Like the ancient Chinese moon, it inspires poetry—and madness. But in Australia, that poetry is born of frustration and loss, and of everything this foreign moon fails to be. The ‘bastard’ moon over suburban Melbourne even looks Australian. ‘Mooching’ along in an ‘air-conditioned’, ‘I-wouldn't-care-less’ kind of mood, it mimics the country's indifference towards the newcomer and towards everything else: ‘you hang on you all right you no worries mate’. 1  Australia and China are both colonizers, but they colonize differently. While Australia is content to plant ‘the rag of a flag/among your rocks’, and then retreat into lazy indifference,...
