原诗
侠客行 唐 · 李白
赵客缦胡缨，吴钩霜雪明。 银鞍照白马，飒沓如流星。 十步杀一人，千里不留行。 事了拂衣去,深藏身与名。
闲过信陵饮，脱剑膝前横。 将炙啖朱亥，持觞劝侯嬴。 三杯吐然诺，五岳倒为轻。 眼花耳热后,意气素霓生。
救赵挥金槌，邯郸先震惊。 千秋二壮士，烜赫大梁城。 纵死侠骨香，不惭世上英。 谁能书阁下,白首太玄经。

The Ballad of the Knight-Errant
From Zhao, a guest with a rustic tasseled crest, His Wu hook gleams like frost and snow. A silver saddle on a white horse, dazzling bright, He flashes past like a meteor in flight. Ten steps, a life is taken; a thousand miles, he leaves no trace. When done, he dusts his robes and disappears, leaving name and face.
He casually visits Lord Xinling's feast, And lays his sword before his knees. He roasts meat for Zhu Hai, and to Hou Ying raises his cup, Three cups seal a promise heavier than mountains five. Eyes blurred and ears warmed, a spirit like a rainbow rises up.
He saved Zhao by swinging his golden mace, A shock that rocked Handan to its core. Two heroes for the ages, their fame in great Liang soared. Even in death, their knightly bones emit a sweet scent, Shaming all the so-called heroes of this world. Who, then, would waste his life in study halls, An old man lost in the Xuan Jing scrolls?

The Song of the Chivalrous Man
A man from Zhao, with a粗陋的 tasseled rein, His Wu hook is as bright as frost and snow. His silver saddle shines on a white steed, His swift passage is like a meteor. He kills a man within ten paces, travels a thousand leagues without leaving a mark. When his task is done, he brushes his clothes and goes, hiding his body and his name.
He leisurely visits Lord Xinling for a drink, And places his sword horizontally before his knee. He roasts meat for Zhu Hai, and with a cup urges on Hou Ying. Three cups seal a promise, the Five Mountains are made light by it. His eyes dazzled and ears hot, a chivalrous spirit like a pale rainbow is born.
He saved Zhao by wielding a golden hammer, His actions stunned the city of Handan first. These two great heroes of a thousand autumns, Are illustrious and renowned in the great city of Liang. Even in death, the bones of a chivalrous man are fragrant, And he is not ashamed to be called a hero among men. Who could be content to write in the imperial archives, And turn his hair white studying the Tai Xuan Jing?
诗歌解析与翻译要点
为了更好地理解翻译,这里对诗中的关键意象和典故进行解析：
-
赵客缦胡缨，吴钩霜雪明。
- 赵客 : 来自赵国的侠客，泛指北方燕赵之地,自古多慷慨悲歌之士。
- 缦胡缨 : “缦胡”指粗陋、未经编织的。“缨”是系在帽子上的带子，粗缨象征着侠客不拘小节、不慕荣华的质朴。
- 吴钩 : 古代吴地出产的一种弯刀,以其锋利和精美著称。
- 翻译要点: "rustic tasseled crest" 或 "粗陋的 tasseled rein" 准确传达了“缦胡缨”的质朴感。"gleams like frost and snow" 则生动地描绘了吴钩的寒光与锋利。
-
银鞍照白马，飒沓如流星。
- 飒沓 : 形容马蹄声疾驰或人行动迅捷的样子。
- 翻译要点: "flashes past like a meteor" 或 "swift passage is like a meteor" 用了西方文化中熟悉的“流星”意象，来对应“流星”,完美传达了侠客行动的迅捷与耀眼。
-
事了拂衣去，深藏身与名。
- 这是侠客精神的最高体现：事了功成，不图名利,飘然远去。
- 翻译要点: "dusts his robes and disappears" 是对“拂衣去”的经典翻译，充满了潇洒和决绝的意味。"hiding his body and his name" 直译了“深藏身与名”,点明了其隐姓埋名的特质。
-
信陵君、朱亥、侯嬴
- 这是诗中最重要的历史典故，信陵君是战国四公子之一，以养士闻名，侯嬴是看守城门的老者，朱亥是屠夫，信陵君曾亲自为侯嬴驾车，并最终通过朱亥的帮助，窃取兵符，解了赵国之围,李白用这个典故来赞美真正的侠客信义和力量。
- 翻译要点: 翻译时直接保留了 "Lord Xinling", "Zhu Hai", "Hou Ying" 的名字，因为对于有一定文化背景的读者来说，这是必要的，如果需要,可以加个注释说明。
-
三杯吐然诺，五岳倒为轻。
- 然诺 : “然”和“诺”都是“答应”的意思,合用指诺言。
- 翻译要点: "Three cups seal a promise" 精炼地表达了“三杯吐然诺”，即三杯酒下肚，诺言便已铸成，不可更改。"heavier than mountains five" 或 "the Five Mountains are made light by it" 都是为了表现“五岳倒为轻”的夸张手法，即诺言比五座大山还重,或重到能让五座大山都显得轻飘飘。
-
救赵挥金槌，邯郸先震惊。
- 指朱亥用藏在袖中的四十斤铁槌，锤杀了魏国大将晋鄙，从而帮助信陵君夺得兵符,救了赵国。
- 翻译要点: "wielding a golden mace" 描绘了朱亥挥槌的场面，"A shock that rocked Handan to its core" 生动地表现了这一事件对敌国邯郸的巨大震动。
-
纵死侠骨香，不惭世上英。
- 这是全诗的点睛之笔，升华了主题，侠客即便死去，其精神也流芳百世,远胜过那些在世上苟活的所谓英雄。
- 翻译要点: "Even in death, their knightly bones emit a sweet scent" 是对“侠骨香”非常形象和富有诗意的翻译，将抽象的精神香气化。"Shaming all the so-called heroes of this world" 强烈地表达了“不惭世上英”的傲然之气。
-
谁能书阁下，白首太玄经。
- 太玄经 : 西汉扬雄所著的哲学著作,艰深晦涩。
- 翻译要点: 这是李白对两种人生的对比：一种是像侠客一样轰轰烈烈、名垂青史；另一种是像书生一样皓首穷经，在故纸堆中默默无闻，翻译时保留书名 Tai Xuan Jing，并用 "lost in the scrolls" (迷失在书卷中) 来暗示这种生活的枯燥与无意义。
希望这些翻译和解析能帮助您更好地领略李白《侠客行》的魅力！
