Analysis on Image Transformation of Chinese Classical Poems Translated by Ezra Pound from Perspective of Horizon of Expectation

Survey of studies

Ezra Pound, an American poet and translator, is an initiator of Imagism—an Anglo-American movement in poetry at the beginning of the twentieth century. As a translator, Pound’s English renderings of Chinese classical poems own extremely high position in the history of literature, but meanwhile, they are also a heatedly debated field in the translation circle, particularly his slim anthology entitled Cathay, translations of 19 Chinese classical poems, which makes its first appearance in 1915. Its philological errors often fall under some critics’ attack, while the creative translation in image transformation and its distinct foreign flavor win others’ praise. Until now, many Chinese scholars have done lots of researches on Pound’s translation of Chinese classical poems.

Zhou Wei made her comment on Pound’s translation strategies in Cathay in 2004. In her view, Cathay is an anthology of successfully translated poems judged in the Skopostheorie framework. Its adequacy to Pound’s translation brief, the warm reception by the Western readers and its influence on American literature all prove the success of Cathay. It is further drawn that poetry translation is an allusion, the translator, under the guidance of translation brief, will and should decide what to translate and how to translate, which elements to be preserved and which to be removed. Thus a translated text can be adequate to the translation brief. As to evaluate

the achievements of a translated text, linguistic “equivalence” is no longer the only yardstick. Its adequacy to translation brief, the fulfillment of the intended Skopos, and its influence on a given culture should all be taken into consideration. Translation criticism should extend its scope to cover more factors relevant to translation activities.

In 2005, Wang Guiming investigated Pound’s conception and his creative translation of Chinese classical poems. He believes Ezra Pound has contributed significantly to the growth of translation worldwide and given considerable impetus to the development of modernist poetry in English, in his capacity as both a theorist and a practitioner of translation, particularly with his creative translation of Chinese classical poems into English.

In the year of 2007, He Yanan cast a new light on Ezra Pound’s creativeness in his translation Cathay of Chinese classical poems by an elaborated analysis in the perspective of functionalist approach focusing on translation and re-creation. He also holds that Cathay has enjoyed enormous popularity in the West and assumed a unique position in the history of English translation of Chinese classical poems.

During 2008, Zheng Shaoyan points out that the birth and development of imagism poems are under great influence of Chinese classical culture, especially Chinese poems. She also believes that Chinese classical culture has remarkable impact on Pound in the process of his translation of Chinese classical poems and learning of Chinese. What’s more, she holds that although this outstanding poet and scholar makes misreading and misinterpretation which cannot be ignored because of cultural differences due to different cultural background in the East and the West, Pound’s wisdom and intelligence is still evident to be seen.

Xu Min and Shu Qizhi (2008) studied misreading of Pound’s translation of Chinese classical poems in the perspective of hermeneutics. They make an explanation of Pound’s misreading in the perspective of hermeneutics prejudice and misinterpretation theory and explore the internal and external reasons of Pound’s misreading in the selection of texts and the translation and practice of imagery poems, concluding that Pound’s misreading is the result of dual effect of social, cultural

factors and the aim of the translator. They suggest that Pound’s creative misreading should be shown a positive attitude to in the perspective of promoting cultural exchange and strengthening communication and integration of western and eastern culture.

Wang Jingling also studied Pound’s translation of Chinese poetry from the perspective of Inter-Theory in the same year. She claims that from the perspective of translator’s intersubjectivity, Pound converts the interaction between the translation subject and object into that between the translator and original text writer, patron, or other translator. She brings about the idea that from the perspective of target text’s intertextuality, Pound doesn’t confine himself to the original text but reconstructs it; what he has finished is the inter-dialogue between the target text and original text, quotations or other renderings. Pound’s translation of Chinese poetry can be considered as a good example of interaction, no matter in the history of translation or history of cultural exchange.

In 2008, Zhai Ping analyzed Pound’s misinterpretation in the perspective of Reception Aesthetics. She tries to find the reason of Pound’s misinterpretation and illustrates that Pound’s misinterpretation is induced by integrated variables relevant to the vertical-horizontal reception form, such as aesthetic subject (translators) and reception subject (target language readers) and reception environment (national psychology of target language).

Because people are not familiar with Horizon of Expectation, and it has not received enough attention, let alone the research on image transformation in Chinese classical poems translated by Pound in this perspective. As a result, in China, the ongoing study on this topic is still not systematic and comprehensive, which blocks and influences people’s objective view on Pound’s translation of Chinese classical poems.

Although many researchers in China and in foreign countries have set foot in the analysis of Pound’s translation of Chinese classical poems into English, each of them approaches it in his own way without keeping abreast of what others are doing on the same research object and there still exist limitations of the study of Pound’s

translation of Chinese classical poems. The former studies which haven’t combined image transformation in Pound’s translation of Chinese classical poems with Horizon of Expectation may cause many misunderstandings which cannot make people achieve a better and deeper understanding of Pound’s translation objectively. So this study combines these two aspects to carry out a systematic study of image transformation in Chinese classical poems translated by Pound in this new perspective. Besides, the author intends to highlight the importance and features of image in the process of poetry translation.

Thesis statement

A lot of researches have been done on Ezra Pound’s translation of Chinese classical poems into English. But the study of this has seldom been associated with Horizon of Expectation, let alone Pound’s translation. So it is necessary to give a research on image transformation in Pound’s translation of Chinese classical poems into English from the perspective of Horizon of Expectation.

This study aims to illustrate that Pound’s creative translation caters to the horizon of expectation at that era through analyzing image transformation in his translation of Chinese classical poems, especially in Cathay. The thesis consists of five parts.

The first part is an introduction. It shows readers something brief about Pound and brings about the topic.

The second part mainly provides an overview of Ezra pound, Imagism, Horizon of Expectation and Chinese classical poems.

The third part analyzes how Pound achieves image transformation in his translation of Chinese classical poems. This part mainly talks about two methods: using visual art and employing creative transformation.

The fourth part concerns with horizon of Expectation. Firstly, Pound’s version of translation of Chinese classical poems caters to people’s need at that era. Secondly,

Pound’s translation brings new life into English literature. Thirdly, Pound’s translation is widely accepted in the West.

The final part serves as a conclusion. It draws a conclusion that Pound’s translations of Chinese classical poems in Cathay are successful image transformation from the perspective of horizon of expectation.
