辜鸿铭及其儒经翻译Ku, Hungming and his translation of Confucian classics 主讲人：FJ人物简介·辜鸿铭（1857-1928），字汤生他生在南洋，学在西洋，婚 在东洋，仕在北洋· 20世纪初，西方人曾流传一句话：到中国可以不看紫禁城 ，不可不看辜鸿铭· 中国近代译坛四杰之一（严复，林纾，辜鸿铭，林语堂）· 精通英、法、德、拉丁、希腊、马来亚等９种语言，获１３ 个博士学位. 1913年还被作为诺贝尔文学奖的提名者（这是 中国人第一次享此殊荣), 但这年度的桂冠戴在了印度诗圣泰 戈尔头上他是第一个将中国的《论语》、《中庸》用英 文和德文翻译到西方辜鸿的哲学著作被哲学最发达的德 国大学指定为参考教材· 向日本首相伊藤博文大讲孔学连俄国大文豪列夫·托尔斯 泰都致信给他，曰《致中国人书》，为世人刮目讨论世界文化和政坛局势，被印度圣雄甘地称为”最尊贵的中国人” 译本比较1子曰：“三人行，必有我师焉择其善者而从之，其不善者而改之 丁译：Confucius said, “Whenever I walk with two other men, I can always find teachers in them. I can learn from their good qualities, and correct those faults in me which are like theirs.”辜译：Confucius remarked, “When three men meet together, one of them who is anxious to learn can always learn something of the other two. He can profit by the good example of the one and avoid the bad example of the other.”(论语：The Discourses and Sayings of Confucius)译本比较2子曰：“见贤思齐焉，见不贤而内自省也。

丁译：Confucius said, “When one sees a virtuous man, one should think of exerting oneself to be like him; when one sees someone who is not virtuous, one should examine oneself.”辜译：Confucius remarked, “When we meet with men of worth, we should think how we may equal them. When we meet with worthless men, we should turn into ourselves and find out if we do not resemble them.”辜氏儒经翻译的特点1 意译法，且不仅译出原作的文字，还要再现原作的风格 2 引用歌德、卡莱尔、阿诺德、莎士比亚等西方著名作家和思想家的话 来注释某些经文，这在儒经翻译史上还是第一次 如：子曰：“道其不行矣夫！”Confucius remarked: “There is in the world now really no moral social order at all. ”” The word tao here means the moral law finding its expression in social order. Confucius in his time, as Carlyle or Ruskin in modern Europe, considered the world to have gone on wrong track; the ways of men and constitution of society to be radically wrong.(中庸：The Universal Order or Conduct of Life )辜氏儒经翻译的特点3 注释中将书中出现的中国人物、中国朝代与西方历史上具有相似特点的人物和时间段作横向比较。

如：Yen Hui, the St. John of the Confucian gospel—a pure, heroic, ideal character, the disciple whom the Master loved. As the name of this disciple occurs very frequently throughout the book, we here depart form our rule of eliminating all Chinese proper names, and shall hereafter always introduce him by name.（颜回，字子渊，孔子最得意的弟子有：“贤哉，回也！一箪食，一瓢饮，在陋巷，人不堪其忧，回也不 改 其乐贤哉，回也！” ！”《论语·雍也》）辜氏儒经翻译的不足：过分意译表现：1 在把握大意的前提下，随意增添许多原文没有的内容如： 学而时习之，不亦说乎？有朋自远方来，不亦乐乎？ 丁译：Confucius said, “ Is it not a pleasure to learn and practice from time to time what is learned? Is it not a joy to see a friend who has come from a faraway place? ” 辜译：It is indeed a pleasure to acquire knowledge and, as you go on acquiring, to put into practice what you have acquired. A greater pleasure still it is when friends of congenial（[kən'dʒinjəl] 意气相投的;性格相同的）minds come from afar to seek you because of your attainments.“(有朋：一本作“友朋”。

旧注说，“同门曰朋”，即同在一位老师门下 学习的叫朋，也就是志同道合的人)2 将译文中出现的大量中国人名、地名删掉 对辜氏译本评论 n林语堂：他（辜鸿铭）了不起的功绩是翻译了儒家《四书》的三部， 不只是忠实的翻译，而且是一种创造性的翻译，古代经典的光透过一 种深的了然的哲学的注入他事实上扮演东方观念与西方观念的电镀 匠他的《孔子的言论》，饰以歌德、席勒、罗斯金、及朱贝尔的有 启发性的妙语有关儒家书籍的翻译，得力于他对原作的深切了解n王国维：辜氏译文之病，一是失之固陋，一是失之欺罔固陋，见 识浅薄之义） 参考文献· Ku, Hungming.
