鸳鸯在求偶时，公鸭发音为“关、关”，母鸭发音为“雎、雎″，且公母声交替发出。东汉《傩典.词考》云:“公鸳求偶，关关而鸣；母鸯应和，雎雎而声，后遂有关雎和鸣之词焉！”故关雎应为鸳鸯应和之声！非其它古籍上讲的鹫鸷类猛禽，也非鸥鹭类。</p> <p class="ql-block">汉译英(尘心版)</p><p class="ql-block">The mandarin duck</p><p

尘心的译文精准，可反译成原文，但不符合英文诗的传统押韵法。许渊冲译文符合英文诗传统押韵，但不精准，无法反译回原文。个人认为:汉诗英译要力求文字精准，不能因照顾译文的尾韵而改变原意，这就是我的翻译异于许渊冲之处。(2021.11.27)</p>
