美国著名汉学家宇文所安(Stephen Owen)历经八年埋头耕耘,终于出版了杜甫诗歌全集的英语全译本《杜甫诗》(The Poetry of Du Fu),这部有3000页,共六卷,重九磅的大部头是学界关于杜甫作品第一次完整的英文 杜甫作为一个高产的诗人,留下了大量的诗作,现存达1400首。宇文所安原本预计花三年完成的 Like the Bard of Avon, Du Fu's writing is layered and shows immense range. The elusive poet wrote in a wide variety of styles and registers. Inside the green-bound volumes are acclaimed verses such as “Moonlit Night” and “View in Spring,” but Owen argues that Du Fu “is a lot more fun when you get out of the well-known ones.”
像“埃文河畔的诗人”(莎士比亚)一样,杜甫的作品层次丰富,涉猎广泛。他的诗作风格和用词都很多变。这本绿皮包装的译作中有知名的诗作《月夜》和《春望》,不过,宇文所安教授却表示杜甫“在这些广为人知的诗作之外更加有趣。”
“He's a quirky poet. When he moves to Chengdu with his family, he has to set up house and writes a poem to people asking for fruit trees and crockery. No one had ever done this kind of poem. He has a poem praising his bondservant Xinxing for repairing a water-piping system in his house. It's a wonderful poem about the joy and discoveries of living in the real world instead of living in the rarefied poetic world,” Owen said.
