    灯谜

    灯谜 (lantern riddles)是指写在彩灯上面的谜语。灯谜是中华民族一门传统的综合性艺术,是我国劳动人民智慧的结晶。猜灯谜是元宵节的一项娱乐活动。灯笼的主人把谜面写在纸条上,然后把纸条贴在灯笼上。如果有人猜到了谜底,就可以将纸条取下来,到灯笼主人那里去对谜底,如果猜对了谜底,就可以得到小礼物。设置灯谜和猜谜底可以遵循许多不同的方法。猜灯谜出现于宋朝 (the Song Dynasty),到了明清时代 (the Ming and Qing Dynasties),该活动在民间变得非常流行。

    翻译点拨

    1. 是我国劳动人民智慧的结晶:此处实际上是指体现和反映了我国劳动人民的智慧,所以可以译成reflect the wisdom of the working people。注意前两句的主语都是“灯谜”,所以翻译时可以合并成一句话,采用which引导非限制性定语从句的形式,比译成两个独立的句子效果更佳。

    2. 谜面……谜底:这里可以采用意译,谜面即riddle;谜底是指答案,所以可译为solution或answer。

    3. 设置灯谜……猜谜底:“设置”可以直译为set;“猜”可以译为guess或work out。

    4. 在民间:此处是指在普通百姓中,故可译为among the people。

There are various ways to set and work out the riddles. The activity emerged in the Song Dynasty and became very popular among the people in the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

    知识小贴士

    灯谜源于谜语,猜灯谜是中国独有的极具民族特色的一种文化娱乐形式,也是一种富有讥谏(ridicule and admonition)、规诫(warning)、诙谐(humorous)、笑谑(farcical)的文字游戏。根据传统习俗,每逢农历(lunar calendar)正月十五,各家各户都要挂起彩灯、燃放焰火,后来有人把谜语写在纸条上,贴在五光十色的彩灯上供人猜。由于谜语能启迪智慧(inspire wisdom)且又能迎合节日气氛,所以响应的人众多,尔后猜灯谜逐渐成为元宵节不可缺少的活动并一直延续了下来。灯谜的三要素为谜面、谜目(如:打一物)(hint)和谜底。灯谜有多种猜法,如拆字法、离合法、增补法、减损法、移位法、同加法等等。
