The translator of poetry must realize that word-for-word equivalents do not exist across languages, any more than piano sounds exist in the violin. The violin can, however, play recognizably the same music as the piano, but only if the violinist is guided by the nature and possibilities of the violin as well as by the original composition.

As applied to the act of translating poetry from one language into another, the analogy above can best be understood as saying that
(A) poetry cannot be effectively translated because, unlike music, it is composed of words with specific meanings
(B) some languages are inherently more musical and more suitable to poetic composition than others
(C) the translator should be primarily concerned with reproducing the rhythms and sound patterns of the original, not with transcribing its meaning exactly
(D) the translator must observe the spirit of the original and also the qualities of expression that characterize the language into which the original is translated
(E) poetry is easier to translate if it focuses on philosophical insights or natural descriptions rather than on subjective impressions

D

谁能解释一下题干，里面的ANY MORE THAN是什么意思？

原文的意思就是说了翻译应该不拘于形势了，所以当然D最符合题意咯
那段英文的意思大概是说小提琴有比钢琴更多的声音表现形势吧
不过这个对题目的理解好像不是最重要

一个取巧的办法，先去掉逗号：equivalents do not exist across languages any more than piano sounds exist in the violin。再加上逗号，应该能看懂了吧。

至于为什么加上逗号，请NN解答。谢谢。

I do not know. I have read a sentence whose subject and verb are seprated by a comma

tianwan · 发表于 2004-3-9 17:12:00

It looks that the comma is a mistake. At least grammatically, it is wrong. Some one other ideas?

或许可以理解小提琴，刚琴为音乐的载体，如同中文与英文。而音乐本身即为语言要表达的意思
