苍天不负有心人下一句怎么说(苍天不负有心人的意思)
导语:苍天不负有心人
中国有句古话:苍天不负有心人。可是,这句话该怎么翻译呢?
(1)拿起汉英词典,我们得到苍天heaven, 不负live up to, 有心人an observant and conscientious person, a person who sets his mind on doing sth. useful, a person with high aspirations and determination。把这些标准的词条拼起来,Heaven will live up to an observant and conscientious person. 我们看起来合情合理。而实际上,这些不错的释义合起来反而不是地道的英语译文。
(2)古代希腊作家伊索在《寓言》中曾说:Gods help them that help themselves. (诸神佑助那些自己帮自己的人。同样,法国作家拉封丹说过:Help yourself, and heaven will help you. (先要自助,老天才会帮助你。)将这两句合并起来,我们自然得到比较地道的译法了。那就是:Heaven will help those who help themselves.
