摘要
20世纪上半叶在拉萨街头传唱的时政歌谣虽是一种非主流的口头文学,但其具有充分的文学性,在句式、章段、押韵以及表现手法方面都独具特色。歌谣使用的语言诙谐幽默,姿态风趣,文体简洁生动,然而这些特性却给歌谣翻译带来的一定的难度。文章通过分析美国藏学家梅·戈尔斯坦先生在其著作中引用的歌谣来了解该类歌谣翻译的特点和难点。
Lhasa street songs of the first-half of the 20th century are a type of non-mainstream oral literature, but contain the essentials of literature, for example, their unique sentence and paragraph patterns, rhyme and forms of expression. The language of the songs is full of humor as well as sarcastic, simple and vivid. The features of the songs, however, cause difficulties for translators. Through the analysis of the methods used by the famous American Tibetologist, Melvyn Co Goldstein in translating the street songs in his works, the means and difficulties might be able to be derived to a degree.
