翻译就是再创造

上世纪中国最后一个大雅木心先生说，创作是父性的，翻译是母性的。我说，翻译是儿性的，因为一半是还原，一半是创造，就如同儿子同时是继承了父母，但又和父母不全都相似。下面我翻译了三篇包含中国特色社会主流核心价值观，以及涵盖当今社会文化热点，传达爱国正能量的小短文，中译英，看似较难翻译，但也都翻译得有模有样，麻雀虽小五脏俱全。我个人认为我的英文译文比中文原文好，好在更有逻辑性，更简明扼要，让信息更精确及突出重点，同时又不失文采。由于只要保证基本语法规范，翻译便没有标准答案，但如是为了做到如林语堂先生所说的“清顺自然”那一派别，那么我姑且可以娓娓道来，那些对外语翻译感兴趣的朋友，就算是我翰木给你做个示范入门吧。

中医

中医是中华民族传统文化的重要组成部分，是我国传统医学的瑰宝。中医历经几千年的发展，形成了一套独特的治疗方法和理论体系。中医认为人体有阴阳元素组成。如果人体阴阳平衡，人就不会生病。如果平衡失调，人就会生病。同时，中医把人看做一个整体，因而从不孤立地看待某一生理或病理现象。中医强调对整个身体的治疗，目的是调节整个身体的平衡。中医采用的“四诊”、针灸等治疗方法是中医的重要组成部分，至今依然被普遍使用。最近几十年来，中医得到西方人的认可，并日益受到西方人的关注。
