《长安三万里》的英文字幕，把唐诗翻译得怎么样？

这个暑假，有一部动画电影以特殊的方式打开唐朝，这就是最近热映的《长安三万里》。这部168分钟的煌煌巨制，成为有史以来篇幅最长的国产动画电影，也唤起不少文学爱好者对于那个瑰丽而浪漫的朝代的向往。

自7月8日全国公映以来，《长安三万里》已在豆瓣上斩获8.2分的高分，也唤起了不少观众的童年回忆。那些从小学相伴至中学，在语文课本里曾列入“背诵名单”的的名字—— 李白、高适、杜甫、王维、王昌龄、岑参、贺知章……从纸间活了过来，在盛世里的流光溢彩里，率性恣意。

Named after the ancient city of Xi’an in Shaanxi province, which served as the capital of the Tang Dynasty for over 280 years, the film epic spans 168 minutes — the longest runtime of any Chinese animated movie — and brings to life some of the most iconic figures in Chinese literary history.

Since its release on June 8, the movie has garnered a rating of 8.1 out of ten on Douban, one of the country’s largest review aggregators, solidifying its position as one of the most acclaimed animated blockbusters of the summer season.

这部电影就像一封写给长安和唐代诗坛群星的情书，恢宏壮阔而情意缠绵。

从开元盛世到安史之乱，在历史的豁隙中另辟蹊径，巧妙避开了那些太为世人熟悉的桥段和人物，从高适的视角展开，用他和李白漫漫一生的情谊，用数十首千古名诗串起一个锦绣中华。

Despite Li and Du having been featured in many movies and TV shows in past decades, the movie employs an unconventional perspective, starting with the memories of Gao Shi, also a renowned poet and confidant of Li, to chronicle the vicissitudes of Li’s life, one of the country’s most beloved poet.

除李白高适二人外，这部电影还刻画了其他唐朝著名的诗人和艺术家。包括擅写军旅诗的王昌龄、草书大家张旭、“唐代乐圣”李龟年以及在文人圈中颇有影响力的皇亲国戚，如玉真公主。

Aside from Li and Gao, the movie features some of the most famous poets and artists of the era, including Wang Changling, known for military-themed poems, calligrapher Zhang Xu, and palace musician Li Guinian, as well as royal members who held significant influence within the literati circle, such as Princess Yuzhen.

除了李白和高适人生轨迹的彼此纵横交错之外，这部印证了追光动画十年功力的影片，也展现了长安城的熙熙攘攘、扬州的繁花似锦、以及漠北塞外的风雪苦寒。

Interweaving the personal fates of these figures, the film vividly reenacts the magnificent scenes of the Tang Dynasty. It showcases the bustling streets of ancient Chang’an, the vibrant and prosperous city of Yangzhou, as well as the harsh and snowy borderlands in northwestern China.

影片将这些历史人物的命运串联交织，生动还原出唐朝的繁荣盛世。同时，电影精准地捕捉到了唐朝自由奔放的本质。例如，殿试状元一举夺魁后，会骑着骏马，在长安里的宅子里摘下最为芬芳之花。

诗人们则经常造访当地的酒馆，寻欢作乐，在异域舞女迷人舞姿和悠扬歌声的陪伴里寻求一瞬泉涌的灵感。

The movie also beautifully captures the free-spirited nature of the Tang Dynasty. For instance, in the national civil service examination, the highest achievers are granted the privilege to ride magnificent horses and pluck the most exquisite flower from any residence in the capital city.

Additionally, poets would visit local taverns for moments of inspiration, where they would revel in the company of foreign dancers, enjoying their captivating movements and melodious singing, while enjoying wine and crafting verses of poetry.

为了精准传递唐诗的韵味和美感，《长安三万里》邀请了澳大利亚畅销书作家、评论家贾佩琳(Linda Jaivin)为该片的台词进行翻译。

贾佩琳深耕于中英文文化领域四十余年，曾为《霸王别姬》《梅兰芳》《英雄》《东邪西毒》《悲情城市》等中文影片完成英文字幕翻译工作。

In order to accurately convey the glamour of Tang poetry and better translate the cultural context embedded in the dialogue, the production team invited Linda Jaivin, an Australian sinologist, to assist with the translation process.

Linda Jaivin has been deeply engaged in Chinese and English culture for more than 40 years and has translated many famous Chinese films, such as Farewell My Concubine, Forever Enthralled, Hero, Ashes of Time, and A City of Sadness. 

制片人宋依依表示，隽永优美的诗句与富有深意的地名是此片翻译的难点，需要深思熟虑，精益求精。

“Jaivin's translation work began in the first half of last year. Despite her already extensive knowledge of Chinese culture, she found some poetry lines and place names to be quite challenging, requiring careful consideration and repeated contemplation,” says Song Yiyi, the movie’s producer.
