英国汉学家魏理在翻译《楚辞.大招》时,因为追求译诗的文学性和可读性而没有兼顾到译文对原作的忠实,存在随意删改和任意发挥的问题,因此遭到著名汉学家翟理斯的批评,为此两人就《楚辞》翻译的方法和具体问题展开争论。这场争论为后来的翻译家提供了宝贵的经验和教训,也为楚辞学在英国的崛起产生了积极的影响。 When translating “The Songs of the South”, the British sinologist Wei Li was famous for his pursuit of the literary nature and readability of the translated poetry without taking into account the loyalty of the translation to the original works, the arbitrary deletion and arbitrariness of the translation, Han scholar criticism of Gisele, for which two people on “Chu” translation methods and specific issues debated. This controversy provided precious experience and lessons for later translators, and also had a positive impact on the rise of the study of Chu Ci in the United Kingdom.
