ReviewsInterested readers may find this new translation of The Waste Land by Zhijian Tao very helpful. Based on his research into history, religion and world literature, Zhijian Tao offers us a new version, making changes where he finds incorrect translations, awkward interpretation and inadequate use of explanatory notes in the previous versions. In addition, Zhijian makes a worthwhile effort to retain the rhythmic movements of the original poem without sacrificing literary accuracy, in contrast with versions that follow a literary translation approach. Waste Land T.S. Eliot
Series Volume NumberVol. 1
SynopsisIn both Chinese and English, century version, corrects misunderstandings and mistranslations in previous versions, and unearths content that previous version failed to percieve; conducts an in-depth study of the rhythm of the original work, gains new understanding and makes new discoveries, in the translated work. Chinese equivalent in versification is applied in the translated text to bring out the mood and mimic the style of the original work; the appendix discusses the key points of translation and the thinking and practice of poetry translation. Poetry lovers, researchers of British and American modern poetry, translators of literature and poetry, translation researchers and readers may find the new version facinating and join in discussion of the subject.
