摘要

本文以安娜·阿赫玛托娃(Anna Akhmatova)诗歌的英译为例，探讨了俄语诗歌英译中抒情现在时(诗歌中一般现在时的一种具体用法)是否为首选现在时。由于她对时间层面的广泛探索，阿赫玛托娃的语言技巧与手头的问题非常相关。本文探讨了译者对抒情现在时和现在进行时的选择所产生的文体效果。为了对英文翻译提供一个更普遍的看法，本研究包括了阿赫玛托娃诗歌的两个不同英文版本中包含的进行式频率的数据。这些数据以比较的视角呈现，同时还有从英美诗歌和几位俄罗斯诗人的英文译本中收集的数据。

The lyric present in English translations of Russian poetry

Taking English translations of Anna Akhmatova’s poems as a case study, this article investigates whether the lyric present (a specific use of simple present forms in poetry) is the preferred present tense in poetic translations from Russian into English. Akhmatova’s verbal craft is remarkably relevant for the issue at hand because of her extensive exploration of temporal levels. The article examines what stylistic effects stem from a translator’s choice between the lyric present and the present progressive. In order to provide a more general view of English translations, the study includes data concerning the frequency of progressives contained in two different English editions of Akhmatova’s poetry. These data are presented in the comparative perspective, together with data collected from English and American poetry and from English renditions of several Russian poets.

期刊介绍： Translation and Interpreting Studies (TIS) is a biannual, peer-reviewed journal designed to disseminate knowledge and research relevant to all areas of language mediation. TIS seeks to address broad, common concerns among scholars working in various areas of Translation and Interpreting Studies, while encouraging sound empirical research that could serve as a bridge between academics and practitioners. The journal is also dedicated to facilitating communication among those who may be working on related subjects in other fields, from Comparative Literature to Information Science. Finally, TIS is a forum for the dissemination in English translation of relevant scholarly research originally published in languages other than English. TIS is the official journal of the American Translation and Interpreting Studies Association (ATISA).
