As Henley's poem states, "Under the bludgeonings of chance, My head is bloody, but unbowed." As William Wordsworth's poem states, "To me the meanest flower that blows can give, Thoughts that do often lie too deep for tears."

而柳永的词句：“长安古道马迟迟，高柳乱蝉嘶”，以及“渡万壑千岩，越溪深处。怒涛渐息，樵风乍起；更闻商旅相呼，片帆高举。”又是何等境界！就是晓风残月的上半阕那一句“暮霭沉沉楚天阔”，谁能说它竟是阴柔？

And what kind of atmosphere is given off by lines from Liu Yong such as, "Trotting slowly on horseback on the ancient streets of Chang'An, with cicadas calling from the tall willows lining the street" and "Passing by many beautiful cliffs along the ravine, into the deepest depths of the river. The roar of the river gradually calms, and a good wind happens to rise, now I hear again the merchants and travelers calling to one another. The sails hoisted high."? In the first half of the ci with the line "a riverbank covered in willow trees with the cold breeze before the dawn" is the line "The evening clouds and mist have gradually gotten thicker, and the sky over Chu is vast and open!". Who can say that this is feminine?

最著名的当然是翻译家严复先生提出的“信、达、雅”理论。“信”就是说忠实原文，“ 达”则是说贴切地表达原文，而“雅”是指用优雅的语言表达。人们常把“信、达、雅”挂在嘴边，其实，这是很难达到的文学翻译最高境界。能够达到这个黄金标准，当然是非常优秀的翻译。不过，只有中英文水平极高，并且有丰富实践经验的人才能达到这一点。

The most well-known is of course translator Mr. Yan Fu's theories of 'faithfulness to the original text', 'communication of ideas' and 'literary elegance'. People always talk about these, but actually these standards mark only literary translation of the highest quality, which is extremely difficult to achieve. Translation that can meet these ideal standards is, of course, excellent. But only those with high command of both the Chinese and English language along with years of practical experience can consistently maintain such a standard.
