Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

A Psalm of Life, the representative work of the famous American poet Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, is taken as the first English poem translated into Chinese. It was in the year 1865 that Thomas Francis Wade first translated it into Chinese and after that various versions with distinctive features have been turning up. This thesis endeavors to analyze three typical versions from three aspects, namely, the “form beauty”, the “sound beauty” and the “sense beauty”, according to the “three-beauty” principle of poem translation proposed by Professor Xu Yuanchong. The basic principles and methods of poem translation are concluded on the basis of the comparative analysis and the “Dynamic Equivalence” theory proposed by Eugene A. Nida. Key Words: poem translation, spiritual resemblance, formal resemblance, “three-beauty” principle, dynamic equivalence Resume: Le Psaume de la vie, oeuvre reputee du poete americain Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, est considere comme le premier poeme anglais traduit en chinois. Depuis que Thomas Francis Wade l’a traduit la premiere fois en chinois en 1865, de nouvelles versions ne cessent d’apparaitre dont chacune a son originalite. L’article present, en vertu du principe de « trois beautes » dans la traduction du poeme preconise par le professeur Xu Yuanchong, entreprent une analyse comparative de ses trois versions les plus representatives sur les plans de « beaute de forme », « beaute de son» et « beaute de signification ».A partir du resultlat d’analyse, se referant a la theorie de l’ « equivalence dynamique » du theoricien de traduction tres connu Eugene A. Nida, l’auteur propose les principes fondamentaux de la traduction de la poesie. Mots-Cles: traduction de la poesie, similitude d’esprit, similitude de forme

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
