韦氏高阶【love 2】义项 1【热爱;深爱】
例句【To know him is to love him. [=the people who know him feel great affection for him] 认识他就会爱上他。】
(刚刚)认识一个人,你就会爱上他(她)抑或是慢慢了解他(她)再爱上的几率大?
韦氏高阶【know 1】4-a【见过;认识;熟悉】
例句【To know him is to love him. [=the people who know him feel great affection for him] 认识他就会喜欢他。】
同一条例句,这里【love】译为【喜欢】应该是符合的
从同项下的例句也能看出些端倪:
【“Do you know Clara?” “Yes, we've met.” “你认识克拉拉吗?” “认识,我们见过。”】(打过照面而已)
【“Do you know Clara?” “We've met but I wouldn't say that I really know her.” [=I am not close to her; I don't know much about her] “你认识克拉拉吗?” “我们见过,但说不上很熟。”】(没什么感觉)
【I've known him for years. He's one of my best friends. 我认识他很多年了,他是我最好的朋友之一。】(好朋友,都懂的,就是婉拒的意思)
【She's the kindest person I know. 她是我认识的最善良的人。】(xx不坏,xx不爱?)
所以【认识】某人最多只能说是【喜欢】还谈不上【爱恋】
如果要翻译成【爱】,那么【know】就应该译为【了解】
【To know him is to love him 了解他就会爱上他】
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
K大版主提到了【To Know Him Is To Love Him 】,说这首歌是【情歌】,所以我又去查了一下资料:
【1958年,为了纪念死去的父亲,菲尔•斯佩克特 写下了《To Know Him Is To Love Him》,
在这之后只有 艾米•怀恩豪斯 演唱出歌曲中蕴含的那些复杂的情感。
艾米•怀恩豪斯 死后,马库斯 在卫报上叹息地写道:「整整48年啊,这首歌才等到下一个适合它的声音」。】
to know, know, know him 真正了解他
Is to love, love, love him 才是爱他
Just to see that smile 仅仅是看到他脸上浮现出笑容
makes my life worthwhile 都能让我觉得不枉此生
to know, know, know him 真正了解他
is to love love love him 才是爱他
and I do, I do, and I do 而我真的明白了
Oh I'll be good to him 我会倾尽所有对他好
I'll bring joy to him 我会带给他快乐
oh everyone says they'll come a day 每个人都说始终有一天
when I'll walk alongside of him 我能和他携手共行
To know, know, know him 真正了解他
Is to love, love, love him 才是爱他
And I do, I really do, and I do 我真的明白了
Why can't he see 他为什么视而不见
how blind can he be 他为什么那么盲目
someday he'll see 不过我相信总有一天,他会发现
that he was meant for me 他在我生命中意味深重
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
K大版主说我不肯找英文资料,于是我又去【韦氏官网】找了一下:
【to know someone is to love him/her】
(used to say that the people who know someone feel great affection for him or her)
很明显,这是《韦高》的参照
很显然,这是歌曲作者的灵感来源
也是作者的创作意图:【对已过世者最大的爱和尊重,就是了解他 / 她】
【韦氏官网】是全英文的,我们不好妄自解释成语中【know】到底是【了解】还是【认识】
但大家可以想象一下,回忆亲人、缅怀先人、写墓志铭时,是否应该肃然起敬?
既然创作意图我们已经了解,那么请大家想想,作者肯定是知道这句成语里的【know】一定是【了解】,所以他才会选用
所以《韦高》的【To know him is to love him】
应译为【了解他就会爱上他】【了解他才是爱他】
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
K大版主提到了【披头士版】,该版改了歌词,有一句添加了 “just”
我们不妨对比一下:
to know, know, know him 真正了解他
To know, know, know her 【披头士版】(第一句并没有加 just)
Is to love, love, love him 才是爱他
Is to love, love, love her 【披头士版】
Just to see that smile 仅仅是看到他脸上浮现出笑容
Just to see her smile 【披头士版】(这里原本就有 just)
makes my life worthwhile 都能让我觉得不枉此生
Makes my life worthwhile 【披头士版】
to know, know, know him 真正了解他
Yes, just to know, know, know her 【披头士版】(只有这句是加了 just,前面还有个 yes)
is to love love love him 才是爱他
Is to love, love, love her 【披头士版】
and I do, I do, and I do 而我真的明白了
and I do, I do, and I do 【披头士版】
其他的句子没什么,焦点就在于【Yes, just to know, know, know her】,这里的 just 怎么解释?
K大版主的言下之意是:有【just】就应该译为【只要认识她,就会爱上她】(符合 情歌、一见钟情 的原理)
《韦高》【just 2】义项 4-a【nothing more than : only 仅仅;只是】
《韦高》【only 2】义项 1-a【no more than 仅仅;只】
《牛8》【just】[adverb] 义项 9【only 仅仅;只不过】
《牛8》【only】[adverb] 义项 4【no more than; no longer than 只有;仅;刚刚】
归纳一下【仅(仅)、只是、只(要)、只不过、只有、刚刚】
既然这些解释都可以,那么最贴近主旨的翻译应是【是的,只有真正了解她,才是爱她】
表达情歌未必都要【一见钟情、爱到盲目】,【了解一个人,爱一个人】一样也是情歌,意境也会更高尚
还有请大家注意【and I do, I do, and I do 而我真的明白了】这句
作者说他明白了,明白什么了?
当然是【了解她,才是爱她】(什么叫明白?经历过方知)
不会是【认识她,就会爱上她】(最初的冲动,不是明白)
最后附上完整【披头士版】
To know, know, know her 真正了解她
Is to love, love, love her 才是爱她
Just to see her smile 仅仅是看到她脸上浮现出笑容
Makes my life worthwhile 都能让我觉得不枉此生
Yes, just to know, know, know her 是的,只有真正了解她
Is to love, love, love her 才是爱她
and I do, I do, and I do 而我真的明白了
I'll be good to her 我会倾尽所有对她好
I'll make love to her 我会向她献殷勤
Everyone says there'll come a day 每个人都说始终有一天
When I'll walk alongside of her 我能和她携手共行
Yes, just to know, know, know her 是的,只有真正了解她
Is to love, love, love her 才是爱她
and I do, I do, and I do 而我真的明白了
Why can't she see ? 她为什么视而不见
How blind can she be ? 她为什么那么盲目
Someday, she'll see 不过我相信总有一天,她会发现
That she was meant just for me 她在我生命中真的意味深重
