英译邓友梅短篇小说【寻访”画儿韩”】

邓友梅肖像
掐指一算,这一带足有三十年没来过.第一监狱门前那”无风三尺土,有雨一街泥”的自新之路”已铺了柏油路. “梨园先贤祠”所在地”松柏庵” 盖起了大楼,杨小楼的墓地附近办起了学校.往南走有”鹦鹉冢”和”香冢”.

Looking for “Painter Han”

Counting the years on my fingers, I haven’t been to this area for almost three decades. In front of the first prison is a road called “the road to rehabilitation”, used to be no wind , deep soil, with rain one street mud, has paved the asphalt. A building was erected at the pine temple at which the Beijing opera Pantheon used to locate. In the vicinity of the Yang Xiaolou’s cemetery set up school. To south are "parrot graves" and "fragrant graves.”

年轻时甘之千常在那附近写生,至今背得出墓碑上开头几句话:”茫茫愁,浩浩劫;短歌终,明月缺………”现在,他望着这历尽沧桑后的陶然亭湖水,当真有点”茫茫愁”.上那儿去找”画儿韩”呢? 画儿韩是搞四化用得着的人,被挤出文物业几十年了.自己蜡头不高,生前不把他找回来,死后闭不上眼.

In his youth Gan Zhiqian often went to paint there. So far he can still recite a few words at the beginning of the inscription engraved on the tombstone :” the vast depression ,endless catastrophe, ballad end,” Now when he was looking at the Taoranting lake water,which has gone through the vicissitudes, he really had a little bit of "the vast depression” Where to find "the painter Han" ? He is useful for the four modernizations, who has been squeezed out of the cultural relics professions for several decades. He thought he was elderly himself , he had to find him in his own lifetime, otherwise he would die with a grievance.

甘之千跟画儿韩的过节儿,是从三十多年前一场恶作剧开的头. 甘之千年轻时画工笔人物,有时也临摹一两张古画.有一次看到名画家张大师作的古画仿制品,他一时兴起,用自己存的一张宋纸,半块古墨,竟仿了一张张择端的画,题作<<寒食图>>.原是画来好玩的,被一位小报记者看见了.此人名叫那五,是八旗子弟中最不长进的那一类人.他把画拿去找善作假画儿的冯裱禙仿古裱了出来,加上”乾隆御览”之类的印鉴,作了旧,又拿给甘之千看,并说:”这两下子,你赶上张大师了.至少也不在画儿韩之下!”

It was a more than 30 years ago’ s prank that caused Gan Zhiqian to have personal grudges against Painter Han. Gan Zhiqian usually drew the Chinese meticulous figure paintings when he was young. Sometimes he also copied a few of ancient Chinese paintings. One time when he saw an imitation copied from an ancient painting by the famed painter, Master Zhang, on a moment’s enthusiasm, with a piece of the paper of Song and half of an ancient Chinese ink stick he kept he even imitated a drawing by Zhang Zeduan titled for<>.He was only drawing in fun. It was seen by a tabloid reporter whose name is Na Wu. He was the type of person who was least progress among the Eight Banners children .He took the painting to the Mounter Feng, who was good at making false paintings, and antiquely framed it out. Featuring the seal engraver with” the Qianlong Imperial Reading”.After making the painting old,he also showed it to Gan Zhiqian and said:” Now these two, you catch up with the Master Zhang. At least we can not draw at children under the South Korea! "
Keep their own a piece paper Song
