摘 要
诗歌，在文学作品中始终是一颗璀璨的星，并且具有非常高的艺术性。它所讲究的音、形、意的完美结合使得诗歌翻译一向是文学翻译中的一大难题。许多翻译家长期致力于诗歌翻译的研究，翻译理论也是百家争鸣。在参照已有的诗歌翻译理论基础上，本文作者选取翻译美学的角度进行研究。同时采取许渊冲的“三美”学说作为理论框架，对Night的两个中文译本（郭沫若的译本与辜振坤的译本）进行研究，以考察在翻译外国文学作品时应当重神似还是重形似。通过形式、语言、意境等诸多方面对两个译本进行了比较分析，验证了神似与形似的适用性，但同时也发现，在诗歌翻译中，要想使译本更加完美只有把神似与形似结合起来，灵活把握神似与形似的运用，才能更加如实的传达原作。

ABSTRACT
Poetry, is always a brilliant star in the sky of literature, and has profound artistic quality. Poetry translation also is a hard job in literature translation because those poems are so particular about the perfect combination of sound, form and conception. Many translators have devoted themselves to the field of poetry translation for a long time and made great achievements. On the bases of these theories, the author of this thesis chooses the aesthetic angle to explore this field. This thesis is intended to adopt Xu Yuanchong’s “Three Beauties” theory as a theoretical framework to make a tentative study of the two different Chinese versions (Mr. Guo Moruo’s version and Mr. Gu Zhengkun’s version) of Night. The purpose of doing so is to verify whether resemblance in spirit or form is more important in literary translation. Based on the comparison of form, language, conception and some other aspects of the two versions, the paper finds that the translator should adjust the application to resemblance in spirit and form so as to be faithful to the original works as well as to make the translation perfect.
Key Words: poetry translation; “Three Beauties” theory; resemblance in spirit and form; artistic manner
