创作于公元第一千年末期的Beowulf，是一部关于斯堪的纳维亚英雄Beowulf探险经历的挽歌式叙事诗，他拯救丹麦人免遭看似无敌的怪物Grendel的戕害，随后又战胜了Grendel的母亲。之后他重返故土，晚年在与一条巨龙的惨烈战斗中牺牲。这首史诗讲述了与妖魔遭遇、将其征服，随后又必须在心力交瘁的劫后余波中生活下去的故事。在这段于二十一世纪之初既显遥远又出奇熟悉的故事情节中，诺贝尔文学奖得主Seamus Heaney找到了一种共鸣

YouTube 上有希尼朗读自己翻译的《贝奥武夫》（分成了两部分[0][1]）——考虑到《贝奥武夫》本身就是一部口头史诗，你可能会想去听听看。如果你想自己买一份，Audible 上也有[2]——大概 15 美元（不过他们也有免费试用而且……
YouTube has Heaney reading his Beowulf translation (in 2 parts[0][1]) -- given that Beowulf was an oral epic, you may want to check it out. If you want your own copy, Audible has it[2] -- it's about $15 (but they also have a free trial and…
……能保留原著哪怕一丝魔力的完整译本。但丁的《神曲》，建议读克莱夫·詹姆斯（Clive James）的译本。这是第一部捕捉到了托斯卡纳语那种灵动光芒的译作。《贝奥武夫》的话，一定要看希尼（Seamus Heaney）的译本。我不懂西班牙语，对塞万提斯给不出什么见解，但也许其他人能补充两句。同样，对于佛教典籍的英译本也得做点功课……
…complete translation that has any of the magic of the original. Dante's Divine Comedy, read the Clive James translation. This is the first one that captures some of the luminous quality of the Tuscan. Beowulf, get Seamus Heaney's translation. I don't read Spanish and cannot offer any insights on Cervantes, but maybe someone else can chime in. Likewise, do some research on translations of the Buddhist writings…
我不是什么学者，但我清楚地记得大概 20 年前读过希尼翻译的《贝奥武夫》（那时候刚出版不久）。我倒是不记得具体字句了，但当时心里那种“这也太TM牛逼了”的感觉记忆犹新。完全有理由认为，一个更加……
I’m no scholar, but have a distinct memory of reading the Heaney translation of Beowulf perhaps 20 years ago (it was new at the time). I don’t recall any of the language per se, but have the distinct memory of thinking “this is extremely badass”. It seems completely reasonable that a more…
希尼翻译的《贝奥武夫》本身就是一部杰作。
Heaney's traslation of Beowulf is a masterpiece in its own right.
你可能会喜欢埃兹拉·庞德的《阅读入门》（ABCs of Reading），里面讲到了去读现存最顶级的范本。《奥德赛》和《伊利亚特》绝对算得上。还有《埃涅阿斯纪》、《神曲》、《贝奥武夫》……但有时候能找到过得去的译本，有时候根本没有。我们很幸运能拥有希尼翻译的《贝奥武夫》，不仅水准始终扎实，偶尔还能让你感受到那种……
You might enjoy Ezra Pound's 'ABCs of Reading', which talks about reading the best examples available. The Odyssey and Illiad are certainly that. Also the Aeneid, the Divine Comedy, Beowulf...but sometimes there are acceptable translations and sometimes there aren't. We are fortunate to have Seamus Heaney's translation of Beowulf which is always solid and occasionally makes you feel the…
我也是希尼版《贝奥武夫》的狂热粉丝。海德利（Headley）选择将语言极端通俗化，而希尼则采取了更为细腻入微的方式，保留了凝练隐喻（kennings），并在阿尔斯特方言中寻找古英语词汇的同源词，用在……
I'm also a huge fan of Heaney's Beowulf. While Headley chooses to vernacularise the language in the extreme, Heaney took a more sensitive approach, preserving kennings and searching for Ulster dialect cognates to Old English words to use in…
