Abstract
The Chinese classical poetry is the gem of Chinese literature. As a microcosm of Chinese classical culture, Chinese poetry is combined with connotations of politics, history and culture, while image is a significant medium to convey the connotations. In addition, the vivid and elegant image contributes to the beauty of poetry. Therefore, how to convey and translate the image is of great significance in the translation of poetry.
After an introduction to the etymology and definition of image, this paper discusses image in Tao Yuanming’s On Returning to A Country Life by visual image, auditory image, kinesthetic image, literal image and rhetorical image. Later the paper probes into the comparison of the image in the three different versions by Charles Budd, Arthur Waley and Amy Lowell. Through comparative analysis of the three versions, this paper illustrates the conveyance and translation of image in Chinese poetry.
