Journal Title: Scholars International Journal of Linguistics and Literature - Year 2018, Vol 1, Issue 2
Abstract
Abstract:It is not hard to find plenty of children’s poetry in ancient China, exhibiting children’s creative contents and literary skills. Taking examples mainly from Fifty Selected Children's Poetry in Ancient China: English Translation and Appreciation, this paper applied the Three-Level Criteria of poetry translation by Dr. Wang Feng to analyze several English translations of children’s object-chanting poetry in ancient China. In children’s object-chanting poetry translation, at the macro-level, the criterion is Harmony; at the middle level, the theory of “resemblance in style, sense and poetic realm”; at the micro-level, the criteria of Eight Beauties, centered on the beauty of emotions and images. Based on these analyses, this paper aims to test the validity of the "Three-Level Criteria of poetry translation" and hopes to guide and promote the theoretical and practical studies on the English translation of children’s poetry in ancient China from a new perspective. Keywords: Children’s Object-Chanting Poetry; English Translation; Three-Level Criteria; Criteria of Eight Beauties
