草根群友翻译的霍金悼词更加“信达雅”
近几日，霍金葬礼上的英文悼词中文翻译版，正在朋友圈里流传。
对英语颇有了解的人都知道， 英国人中产以上阶级用词其实颇为讲究，经常会用双关语、暗语，完全不是明面的意思。
英语原文要翻译成恰到好处的中文，并且兼顾做到“信、达、雅”，这可考验英语和中文双面的功夫。
比如《甲申同文翻译》的版本，我就认为其翻译还不如我“聊斋”群友翻译的好！
好在“聊斋”群里，人才济济，一干文笔功力深厚和国学素养兼修的群友，果然纷纷下场，一试高下。
众人翻译中，又首推群友“金二”、“听涛子”、“潘百通”三人，各有特色。现在将他们的翻译抄录如下。
群友“金二”版，将原英文的逻辑关系翻译出来了：
For everything there is a season，and a time for every matter under heaven:
世上万物
有命，有运，有时。
a time to be born,and a time to die；a time to plant,and a time to pluck up what is planted；
有生有死；有种有收;
a time to kill,and a time to heal；
a time to break down,and a time to build up；
有灭，有愈。镜破，又圆。
a time to weep,and a time to laugh；atime to mourn, and a time to dance；
时泣时笑，时悲时舞
a time to throw away stones,
and a time to gather stones together；a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing；
投出的石头，还要捡回来
欲迎又止，终究还会拥抱。
a time to seek, and a time to lose；a time to keep, and a time to throw away；
可寻可失，可存可弃
a time to tear, and a time to sew；a time to keep silence, and a time to speak；
撕而后补，默而后言
a time to love, and a time to hate；a time for war, and a time for peace.
喜憎有時，战和谁知。
群友“听涛子”根据和合本圣经改译。

群友“潘百通”根据“听涛子”译本再做改进。
