“From hill to hill no bird in flight
22 英语 九年级 上册 人教版
From path to path no man in sight”
—translated by Xu Yuanchong
It doesn’t matter how good you are. You can always be better, even if you’re already the best! This is the lesson we learn from Xu Yuanchong. He is the famous translator who passed away on 17 June 2021, at the age of 100.
Xu began to translate Chinese poetry into English when he was still a teenager. He later learned that Chinese and European languages were very different. Only about half of the words in these languages could be translated word for word. So Xu always emphasized that translators have to be creative. Xu also tried to improve his translations to make sure they are correct and beautiful. Xu’s motto is: Good, better, best. Never let it rest until your good is better.
Xu is considered to be the best, but that hasn’t stopped him from always trying to become better. Most of you are good at English or some other subjects. A few of you are even the best in your class. But all of you know that you can be better and that the more you learn and the harder you study, the better you will become. There is always room for improvement.
16. When did Xu Yuanchong start to translate Chinese poetry? (不超过5个词)
17. According to the passage, what are Xu Yuanchong’s translations like? (不超过5个词)
18. What do you think of Xu Yuanchong? (不超过15个词)
