A Poem about language... Leah Goldberg Poem Translation (attempt) Hi there, native English speakers! (and preferably English speakers who also read Hebrew?) I made a first attempt at translating a poem. It was written by one of my favorite poets - Leah Goldberg (1911-1970). I'd appreciate any corrections or suggestions. It was really difficult for me to try and keep it rhymed. I didn't keep all the rhymes at their original form, but tried to make it reasonably poetic. Please please please tell me if anything is terribly wrong (or terribly unlike how you'd actually use English) here. Attached below the origin. (P.S - it's a combination of my languages- a song translated from Hebrew to English that speaks about Chinese :) picture: Spring 2014 in Beijing) A kiss still remembered is burning my lips On my hand still the warmth of the one whom I've lost As I read the poems of the great Li-Tai-Pei The ages between us dissolve into dust How bizarre and how clear, Chinese quilting of words Like the thickness of tendons upon my pale hand My soul, that which longs to be different and odd I think I did not, but now do understand I wish to arise one day in Shanghai Across yellow faces to silently stray And sing of my heart, the lively and scared With rhymes, carrying prophecies over my way May someday my mouth be pronouncing those words Their sound will be strange to me, so will their sight Translated to English, I wish to have read, My poems. They are simple. Like world and like light זכרון-נשיקה צורב על הפה, ועל היד חׁם אדם שאינו- אני קוראה את שירי לי-טַי-פֱּה ותקופות נמסות ביני ובינו. מוזר וברור טוי-מילים בסין, כמו סבך הגידים על ידי החִוֳרת, נדמה לי, אני מתחילה להבין את נפשי הרוצה להיות אחרת. אני רוצה להקיץ בשנחֵי ולשאת דממה על פנים צהובים ולשיר על לבי הנבהל וחי בצרופי חרוזים מתנבאים. ורוצה אני לבטא מלים, שלא אדען עוד ולא אזכׂר, ולקרֹא אחר כך בתרגום אנגלי את שירי הפשוטים כמו עולם ואור. 当我读李白的诗的时候,我感觉到时间在我们之间融化了

自我介绍 大家好,我叫艾苇婷,是以色列人。 九年以前,在中国旅游的时候, 我爱上了中文,而且爱上了中国的文化,历史等等。(也特别喜欢学到中国各种各样的歌曲 ;) ) 我在以色列学汉语学了三年,毕业以后在北京清华大学学了一个学期。我会run conversation,但是觉得我汉语说得太业余(?)了。 今年我在英国剑桥大学读中国古代历史硕士。我常常练习文言文,可是很少有机会练习现代化汉语。 我知道这里有好多中国人,但是我有点不好意思请他们用中文和我交流。我还在寻找一个中文的"language partner",但是在这里要找到一位老师。特别希望练习我的口语,发音,丰富自己的词汇 :) 很感谢你们任何帮助! 祝好, 艾苇婷
