类似这样的话、诗,最好的办法是去找类似主题的英文歌词、诗歌等,从中找到类似的话语来改编,这样译出来的东西往往会比自己闭门造车翻译出来的文字更加地道。比如 Elvis Presley 的 There's So Much World to See,和动画片《Aladin》中的插曲 A Whole New World ----
Aladdin: I can show you the worldShining, shimmering, splendidTell me, princess, now when didYou last let your heart decide?
Aladdin: I can open your eyesTake you wonder by wonderOver, sideways and underOn a magic carpet ride
Aladdin: A whole new worldA new fantastic point of viewNo one to tell us no or where to goOr say we're only dreaming
Princess Jasmine: A whole new worldA dazzling place I never knewBut when I'm way up here, it's crystal clearThat now I'm in a whole new world with youAladdin: (Now I'm in a whole new world with you)Princess Jasmine: Unbelievable sightsIndescribable feelingsSoaring, tumbling, freewheelingThrough an endless diamond sky

Princess Jasmine: I'm like a shooting starI've come so farI can't go backTo where I used to be
Aladdin: A whole new worldPrincess Jasmine: Every turn a surprise
