摘　　要：诗歌创作讲究炼字,而诗歌翻译,作为一种跨语言文化的二度创作活动,更加讲究字词的推敲与锤炼。可以说,字词锤炼,尤其是对于常常作为诗眼的动词的锤炼,在汉诗英译过程中具有举足轻重的作用。诗歌中的"炼字",根本目的是为了"炼意",也就是更好地表达诗歌的意境。由于中西语言和文化差异,诗歌中的诗眼,很难有效翻译成英语。本文运用许渊冲教授的"三美论"中的意美探究杨宪益与戴乃迭夫妇的译本The Dream of Red Mansions及大卫·霍克斯的译本The Story of The Stone中部分写景诗与咏物诗中动词的英译,分析各自在动词翻译的锤炼上对原诗意美再现的得与失。Just as words polishing is of importance in composing poems, so poetry translation, as a cross cultural creative activity, attaches more importance to words elaboration and refinement. To a large extent, words refinement, especially the elaboration of verbs, plays a decisive role in translating Chinese poems. In particular, the fundamental purpose of words refinement is to extrude the artistic conception of poetry better. Due to differences between Chinese and Western languages and cultures, it is difficult to effectively translate verbs, ＂the minds＇ eye＂ of Chinese poems, into English. Based on Professor Xu Yuanchong＇s theory on beauty in sense of ＂Three beauties＂, the thesis delves into the English translation of verbs in part of the poems in A Dream of Red Mansions by Yang Hsien- yi and Gladys-Yang and The Story of The Stone by David Hawks, to analyze the loss and gain of the reproduction of the original poetic beauty of verbs in these poems respectively.
