Abstract

Poetry constitutes an essential component of literary studies and culture communication. Emily Dickinson, as one of the pioneers of American modernist poetry, had written 1755 poems in her lifetime, which are internationally acclaimed. Among her works, the poem “I Died for Beauty” stands out as a prominent example, frequently cited in Chinese textbooks on American literature and its history. This paper employs a famous Chinese translator, Xu Yuanchong’s “Three Beauties” theory to conduct a comparative analysis of two Chinese translations of Dickinson’s “I Died for Beauty” from three aspects: sound, form and meaning. It is expected that this study will elucidate how each translation interprets Dickinson’s themes and stylistic elements, providing a deeper understanding of English-Chinese poetry translation between two culture contexts.
