2)值得注意的是,对于“刁钻古怪鬼精灵”的处理,霍译其中的“刁钻古怪鬼精灵”被霍克斯译成了“Mary Contrary”,“Mary Contrary”来自英国的一首儿歌,所谓contrary, 指她颇难相处,难按常规捉摸,在这一点上,接近原文的“刁钻古怪鬼精灵”。霍克斯采用的是用目的语中合适的喻体代替源语言中的喻体,这一翻译方法经常被用在两种语言存在文化错位或空缺的情况下。
例2、 警幻仙姑赋(片段)
其素若何:春梅绽雪;其洁若何:秋慧披霜。
其静若何:松生空谷;其艳若何:霞映澄塘。
其文若何:龙游曲沼;其神若何:月射寒江。
杨译:Her whiteness? Spring plum-bloosom glimpsed through snow.
Her purity? Autumn orchids coated with frost.
Her tranquility? A pine in a lonely valley.
Her beauty? Sunset mirrored in a limpid pool.
Her grace? A dragon breasting a winding stream.
Her spirit? Moonlight on a frosty river.
霍译:Her purity I can best show
In plum-trees flowering in the snow;
Her chastity I shall recall
In orchids white at first frost-fall;
Her tranquil nature will prevail
Constant as lone pine in an empty vale;
Her loveliness as dazzled make
As sunset gilding a pellucid lake;
