视频中提到的纪录片：《探求自我的世纪 The Century of the Self》

《六月》 游动的鱼群 在海底揭示船只颠覆的真相 诡秘的海盗 用钢叉扼守暗夜掠夺的隐情 窒息生命的年代 窒息着苟活者的眼睛 悲哀良善的季节 悲哀着执著者的良心 是谁的铁掌遮蔽了满天满地的繁星 是谁的断臂撬动着老朽僵滞的车轮 是谁的尸首压垮了草长莺飞的早春 是谁的骨灰喂养着苟延残喘的性灵 举灯高照的天神 夜夜都从广场传出他们的哭声 以血铺道的头颅 时时都在进入骨髓撕咬我的宁静 没有不跨出脚 就能够踩出的路 没有不抬起头 就能够望穿的天 不白的沉冤爆炸我孤独的呼号 心中的烈火在沉睡的夜空里燃烧 纵使所有的苦难都在向我结出苦果 面对六月我仍无法拒绝这碗毒药 丑恶总是要将美好淹没 以企图显示自己的正确 高贵只有荡涤了那些卑琐 才足以赢得高贵者的清濯 血写的历史 留着血写的印记 伤口如果不曾愈合 伤口如何能够沉默

商老师非常有见地！

诗人、资深媒体人、宗教比较学研究者古土是青海乐都人，母亲出身于藏系望族，父亲则来自当地汉族有名的书香世家。他的母语是藏语，七岁之前不识汉字。上小学前，变成羊倌的父亲以独特方法，教他很快学会认字，也为日后他的汉语言文学研究打下坚实的文化基础。在汉藏混居之地长大，古土对汉藏两族文化的了解与传承，始于一点一滴的生活细节。东西联学社很高兴再次邀请到古土老师，来做一个关于汉藏文化的讲座，从他的生活经历出发，讲解汉藏两族生活习俗、语言文字、宗教信仰等方面的异同。更多讲师介绍请查看：www.eawlc.org/eawlc-lecture-on-tibetan-han-family-life-cultures

Thank you for the invitation to attend the virtual presentation hosted by Anna Yin with Toronto Poet Laureate A.F. Moritz. I was captivated by both the poetry readings and the conversation surrounding the subtleties and challenges of translation. It was evident that Professor Moritz and Ms. Yin are passionate about their art, but it was also clear that they have an equal reverence for the poetic art of others. It was interesting to hear how Professor Moritz preserved the flavour of Pablo Neruda’s poems by maintaining internal assonance and by choosing words that are similar in both English and Spanish. An example of the latter is choosing the word “clear” as a translation of “claro”. If I recall correctly, Moritz described the process of translating poetry as a type of “marriage” and that the experience of trying to rebirth a poem from one language into another is both exhilarating and exhausting. It was also intriguing to listen to Anna Yin discuss the challenges that occur when a pronoun, which might exist in English, simply does not occur in Chinese. It seems that sometimes interpretation is required of the translator, along with patience, insight and judgement. What a burden of responsibility! I am curious to know about Moritz’s translation of poetry written in French. Typically, English to French translations require many more words. Is this also true of poetry? Do French poems become shorter when translated into English? These are questions that I would ask if I had the opportunity. It seemed to me that Ms. Yin’s translation of Professor Moritz’s poem was longer… but, it certainly sounded beautiful. So, once again I would like to thank you for opening the doors to this event. It was stimulating, thought provoking and the poetry was absolutely delicious - whether I could understand the words or not.” --From Elizabeth Hurdman to Yang Wang “Al, you made me want to learn Spanish for a moment when you recited the poem 😊 Anna, you reminded me that in written Chinese we do not have a gender-neutral pronoun of “they”, while in spoken Chinese we refer to “he”,”she” and “it” with one same sound “ta”. I guess this “ta” is the reason I tend to misuse “he” and “she” a lot when I speak in English ☹ Or maybe I always see “the female strangeness of their male force” ^_^. Thank you for introducing the wonderful poets to us! It is such a privilege to be given the keys to your doors in that couple of hours, and get inspirations from your poetic and intelligent hearts!” --From Yang Wang

Another wonderful evening. This series has brought 3 wonderful new poets to my attention, Molly, Alice and you. I am contacting my bookseller in Dundas who specializes in poetry to order collections that have been mentioned in the series. The discussion of translation strategies has been another gift. I cannot question my 17th century poet as she is beyond my reach. I can make use, however, of the versions other translators have made of Dream to test my interpretation of various difficult phrases or passages. I can also study the way she uses language throughout the poem to throw light on specific challenging passages. Your practice of analyzing the source of the difficulty is such a productive and sound approach. And allowing yourself to be enthusiastic and confident that you have got what your poet was trying to communicate. Mine was writing in the shadow of the Spanish Inquisition about controversial scientific subjects so the poem is coded very carefully and at the same time audaciously. What a courageous and lively person she was. I want everyone to meet her. Thank you for all the work you’re putting into this series to help us enjoy this world of poetry in translation See you again in Session 4 with the irrepressible George Elliott Clarke. -- From Mary Bird to Anna Yin
