美国诗人罗伯特·弗罗斯特以其清新自然的诗风屹立于20世纪世界诗坛。方平先生精选其数十首诗歌译成中文,在读者群中产生非常大的影响。其翻译的《一条未走的路》、《停马在雪夜的林边》、《修墙》、《白桦树》等诗歌均为名译经典,为广大读者所熟悉。编辑方平先生的译诗时,我们特意选择一些罕为选本所收的作品。一是让读者尽可能窥见弗氏诗歌全貌,二是这些作品在方平先生译文中实属上品之译。特别需要说明的是,这组作品中最后一首《一无保留的奉献》是弗氏于1961年1月20日受邀美国总统肯尼迪宣誓就职典礼时所朗诵的诗篇。在美国史上,还是第一次有一位诗人受到如此崇高的礼遇。 American poet Robert Frost stands in the 20th century world poetry with his fresh and natural poetic style. Mr. Fang Ping selected dozens of his poems translated into Chinese, the audience has a very large impact. His translations include “An Unblocked Road”, “Linbian at a Snowy Night”, “Xiuqiang” and “Birch Tree”, all of which are familiar to most readers. When editing the translated poems of Mr. Fang Ping, we deliberately selected some works which were rarely collected for selection. First, let the readers see as much as possible the whole picture of Freund’s poetry, and second, these works are genuine translations of Mr. Fang Ping’s translation. In particular, the last “unreserved devotion” in this group of works is Frees’ poem, which was recited on January 20, 1961 during the inauguration of U.S. President Kennedy. For the first time in the history of the United States, a poet received such a lofty courtesy.
