We all know that the Chinese classic poetry is a gem of Chinese culture treasure. For a long time, many scholars around the word have been engaging in translating the Chinese classical poetry into other languages, especially English. While everyone has his own understanding of translation, so there are many different criteria in poetry translation. For example, the famous translator Yan Fu put forward the theory of Faithfulness, Expressiveness and Elegance in 1951, Mr. Fu Lei put forward the Vivid Theory, Qian Zhongshu put forward Transmigration Theory in 1964 and Alexander Fraser Tytler wrote three basic principles in his book Essay on the Principles of Translation. Among the many distinguished translators, Xu Yuanchong is very famous because he put forward some quite useful theories in poetry translation, such as the Three Beauties, Three Transformations and so on. Although highly prized by many scholars and warmly welcomed by a large number of readers, Xus translations also suffer bitter attacks and criticisms by some people, which is not helpful to the spread of the great “Three Beauties Theory”, nor to the development of the Chinese classic poetry translation. This thesis focuses on the essence of Professor Xu Yuanchongs “Three Beauties Theory”, the application of this theory as well as the reason behind its widely acceptance in order to give a fair judgment to the “Three Beauties Theory”. Many foreign scholars have put their efforts on Xu Yuanchongs “Three Beauties Theory” and put forward their own opinions which we can see in the references, such as Constructing CultureM written by Bassnett, Susan and Andre Lefevere, The Theory and Practice of TranslationM written by Nida, E. A. and Charles R. Taber, Ten Lectures on Literary Translation M written by Liu Zhongde, Five Lectures On Chinese PoetryM written by Lu Zhiwei and so on.There are a lot of Chinese researchers who also worked on Mr. Xu Yuanchongs “Three Beauties Theory”, such as the famous translators Qian Zhongshu, Wang Zuoliang and so on, some of them are supporters while others are not. This kind of references are as follows:许渊冲的诗译"三美"说Jof 李溢，“左右逢源,炉火纯青-许渊冲先生古诗英译关键技法初探J” written by 张智中 in 太原理工大学学报,“评许渊冲先生的四首韵译唐诗J” written by 林庆扬 in 长春师范学院学报。As a supporter of Mr. Xu Yuanchong, the great master of art-Professor Qian Zhongshu calls Xu“ wizard in the realm of translation” and says:“ translating two forms of literature-poetry and lyrics into two languages-English and French just like the warrior with two guns working alone two lines(译著兼诗词两体制，英法两语种，如十八般武艺之有双枪将，左右开弓手矣)”After reading Xus translation of Mao Zedongs poems, Professor Qian wrote Xu a letter, in which he writes that“ Many thanks for showing me your highly accomplished translation. I have just finished reading it and marvel at the supple ease with you dance in the clogs and fetters of rhyme and meter. Your views on verse translation are very pertinent.” While Xus theories also gain a lot of criticisms and disputes. Liu Yingkai, a professor from Shenzhen University challenges Xus theory of “preservation of beauty in sound and form” and thinks it needs deliberating. And Professor Wang Zuoliang is one of the translators who have heated debated with Xu upon metrical translation. Although Professor Xu Yuanchong has got brilliant achievements and a high reputation in the field of professional translation, the statement that translated version should compete with the original version which he put forward, received much more opposition rather than agreement among translators, and was more partially accepted rather than fully used. (李谧，2004) This thesis is mainly divided into four chapters. Chapter One mainly tells the features of both Chinese and foreign poetry; Chapter Two mainly describe Professor Xu Yuanchong and his theories; Chapter Three mainly shows the examples for the application of the Three Beauties Principle; Chapter Four mainly focuses on the culture outlook embodied in the Three Beauties Principle. Mr. Xus theories enrich the translation theories of the Chinese school and they are just likes a huge treasure house to be explored, so it is necessary to highly praise them in order to let foreigners have some knowledge of the beautiful Chinese culture and custom in Chinese ancient times. This thesis only opens the door of this house and the countless gems are sparking inside. There is still a lot to be probed and explored. 本科生毕业论文设计题目“带着镣铐跳舞”-浅谈许渊冲古诗 文翻译“三美论” 作者姓名 XXXX 指导教师 XXX 所在学院 XXX学院 专业（系） 机器翻译 班级（届） XXX机译班 完成日期 XXX 年 04 月 20日“Dance with the Fetters”-A Preliminary Study of The Three Beauties Principle in Chinese Classic Poetry Translation BY XXXX Prof. XXX， Tutor A Thesis Submitted to Department of English Language and Literature in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of B.A. in English At XXXXUniversity April 20th, XXX摘 要中国古典诗歌是中华文化宝库的一颗明珠。一直以来，全世界的学者们都在从事着中国古典诗歌的翻译。相比之下，诗歌翻译具有艺术性和含蓄性的特点。英语和汉语属于不同的语族, 而且不同的国家有着不同的文化及语言背景，因此中国的古典诗歌翻译非常困难。许渊冲教授在中国诗歌翻译方面做出了突出的贡献，他提出了诗歌翻译的“三美”原则“音美”、“意美”和“形美”。本文系统地总结了“三美”原则及“三美”原则的实际运用,通过客观的分析，发现“三美”原则的理论价值及其实践意义。许教授的高超的技艺是值得借鉴和学习的，他在诗歌翻译方面的有益尝试对中国文学翻译的进一步发展有着积极的影响。关键词 许渊冲 中国古典诗歌翻译 三美原则Abstract Chinese classic poetry is a gem of Chinese culture treasure. For a long time, many scholars around the word have been engaged in translating the Chinese classical poetry. Poetry translation has the characteristics of artistry and subtlety as compared to other translations. The English and Chinese languages belong to different language families, and there exists different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, so the translation of Chinese classic poetry is quite difficult. Professor Xu Yuanchong made great contribution to the poetry translation and put forward “three beauties” principle - “beauty in sound, beauty in sense and beauty in form”on poetry translation. The author of this thesis summarizes systematically Xu Yuanchongs “three beauties”on poetry translation and the practice of this principle to find its theoretical value and its practical significance through objective analysis. His consummate skill is worth learning from and taking as reference. His useful attempts on poetry translation are beneficial for the further development of Chinese literary translation.

In the whole, poetry is the oldest literary form and has its own distinctive characteristics: its form, language and images all embody beauties and profound meanings. Poetry is also a perfect way for poets to express their feelings in words and in the eyes of many poets, poetry is art works and pens are swords and only people who have the same state of mind can understand what the poetry really mean. In detail, poetry can be divided into many kinds according to different standards. For example, according to the content, poetry can be divided into narration poetry, description poetry and criticizing poetry, commenting poetry and so on; according to the form, poetry can be divided into Five-character poem，Seven-syllable poem, etc.; according to the style, poetry can be divided into Frontier-style poem，Graceful poem and so on. If we dont limit in one country or in one language, the poetry will be much more complicated. Different countries have their different cultures and people in different countries have different understandings of poetry, so the poetry in different countries is quite different, from form to meaning and from language to rhetorical methods. From the very past to today, there have been many translators who translate many kinds of poetry from one language to another to help people in different parts of the world to feel the same beauty. Everyone has his own understanding of translation, so there are many different criteria in translation. For example, the famous translator Yan Fu put forward the theory of Faithfulness, Expressiveness and Elegance in 1951,which means the version should be faithful to the original material, the language should be both expressive and elegant；Mr. Fu Lei put forward the Vivid Theory，which is stricter than Yan Fus; Qian Zhongshu put forward Transmigration Theory in 1964; Alexander Fraser Tytler wrote three basic principles in his book Essay on the Principles of Translation：1. A translation should give a complete transcript of the ideas of the original work；2. The style and manner of writing should be of the same character as that of the original; 3. A translation should have all the ease of the original composition. In the history, directed by these theories, a lot of Chinese and foreign translators have made many brilliant contributions, such as Arthur Wacks from the United Kingdom, Aicila Pound from the United States, and Yang Xianyi and his wife Dai Naidie from China. However, when it comes to the translation Chinese traditional rhetorical techniques, their translated versions were not as good as the Chinese versions. Among the distinguished translators, Xu Yuanchong is very famous because he put forward some quite useful theories in poetry translation, such as the Three Beauties, Three Transformations and so on. But he also causes a lot of controversies.The great master of art-Professor Qian Zhongshu, calls Xu“ wizard in the realm of translation” and says:“ translating two forms of literature-poetry and lyrics into two languages-English and French just like the warrior with two guns working alone two lines(译著兼诗词两体制，英法两语种，如十八般武艺之有双枪将，左右开弓手矣)”After reading Xus translation of Mao Zedongs poems, Professor Qian wrote Xu a letter, in which he writes that“ Many thanks for showing me your highly accomplished translation. I have just finished reading it and marvel at the supple ease with you dance in the clogs and fetters of rhyme and meter. Your views on verse translation are very pertinent.” Xus theories also gain a lot of criticisms and disputes. Liu Yingkai, a professor of Shenzhen
