水浒传意义英文

《水浒传》 英文版通常将《水浒传》翻译成Water Margin或Outlaws of the Marsh。众多译本中，最早的当属赛珍珠女士在1920年代中后期翻译的All Men Are Brothers（四海之内皆兄弟）。书名出自《论语》“四海之内，皆兄弟也”。1933年出版，是《水浒传》的第一个英文全译本，当时在美国颇为畅销。迄今为止《水浒传》被认为比较好的英文版本，应该是中国籍的美国犹太裔学者沙博理先生（Sidney Shapiro）在文革期间受命译的一百回版的"Outlaws of the Marsh"（水泊好汉）。其译本，被认为更忠实于原著，且很贴切地反应了原文的神韵，符合翻译的“信，达，雅”的原则。法语版则将其直译为Au bord de l'eau。除此之外，还有许多搞笑的翻译，居然是《一百零五个男人和三个女人在山上的故事》，智取生辰纲则节译为《强盗设置的圈套》。日文版的《水浒传》的版本非常之多，甚至被改编和演绎成了许多漫画，电影，电视作品。 《三国演义》（英文名：The romance of Three Kingdoms）。 《西游记》 ⑴《猴》：关于中国古典小说方面的译著，以阿瑟·戴维·韦利（Arthur David Waley，英国，1889—1966）的《猴》（Monkey）（《西游记》）最为著名。 ⑵美国1944年出版的韦利译本之儿童版，书名《猴子历险记》（The Adventures of Monkey），共130页，为译文的节略本。 《红楼梦》 现在大家比较认可的是杨宪益和戴乃迭夫妇翻译的英译本《红楼梦》，译为“The Dream of Red Mansion”。以下为纯译（仅供参考）：A Dream of Red Mansions/Chamber《红楼梦》 Out laws of the Marsh《水浒传》 The Romance of the Three King doms《三国演义》 Journey to the West/Monkey/The Monkey King 《西游记》《三国演义》Romance of the Three Kingdoms 《红楼梦》A Dream of Red Mansions 《西游记》A Monkey's Story 《水浒传》One hundred and eight men

water是水的意思。margin是n. 边缘；利润，余裕；页边的空白，vt. 加边于；加旁注于的意思。梁山已是宋朝统治的边缘，一个意外之类的梁山就会脱离宋朝统治；自然就用margin啦！（个人想法，一己之见！）

水浒传(Water Margin)简介：Water Margin is a novel based on the outlaw Song Jiang and his 36 companions. The group was active in the Huai River region and surrendered to the government in 1121. They were recorded in History of the Song Dynasty of the Twenty-Four Histories. The name of "Song Jiang" appeared in the chapter of Emperor Huizong of Song while the activities of the outlaw group were mentioned in the chapter for Zhang Shuye.Folk stories of Song Jiang circulated during the Southern Song Dynasty period. The first text to name Song Jiang's 36 companions was Miscellaneous observations from the year of Guixin (癸辛杂识) by Zhou Mi, written in the 13th century. Among the 36 were Lu Junyi, Guan Sheng, Ruan Xiaoer, Ruan Xiaowu, Ruan Xiaoqi, Liu Tang, Hua Rong and Wu Yong. Some of the characters who later became associated with Song Jiang also appeared around this time. They include Sun Li, Yang Zhi, Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and Wu Song.A direct precursor of Water Margin was the Old incidents in the Xuanhe period of the great Song Dynasty (大宋宣和遗事), which appeared around the mid-13th century. The text is a written version of storytellers' tales, based on supposed historical events. It is divided into ten chapters, roughly covering the history of the Song Dynasty from the early 11th century to the establishment of the Southern Song regime in 1127. The fourth chapter covers the adventures of Song Jiang and his 36 companions, and their eventual defeat by Zhang Shuye. Some of the more well-known stories and characters of the Water Margin are clearly visible, including "Yang Zhi sells his precious saber", "Robbing the convoy of birthday gifts", "Song Jiang kills Yan Poxi", "Fighting Fang La" etc. Song Jiang and his outlaws were said to operate in the Taihang Mountains.Stories about the outlaws of Mount Liang became a popular subject for Yuan Dynasty drama. During this time, the material on which the Water Margin was based evolved into what it is today. The number of outlaws increased to 108. Even though they came from different backgrounds (including scholars, fishermen, imperial drill instructors etc.) all of them eventually came to occupy Mount Liang. There is a theory that Water Margin became popular during the Yuan Dynasty as the common people (predominantly Han Chinese) resented the Mongol rulers. The outlaws' rebellion was deemed "safe" to promote as it was supposedly a negative reflection of the fallen Song Dynasty. Concurrently, the rebellion was also a call for the common people to rise up against corruption in the government. The Chongzhen Emperor of the Ming Dynasty, acting on the advice of his ministers, banned the book to suppress rebellions.
