Descrição
In this paper, we intersemiotically translate the poem ‘The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den’ (施氏食獅史 in traditional chinese). The translation of the poem started from a direct examination of the text, in two Chinese versions, and comparison with two cognitive-discursive translations (English and French). The result, a series of images based on a small collection of graphic-chromatic components, focused on the temporal succession of the events. The sequence of cuts, and variable rhythmic structure, try to compensate the most important loss of the translated sign-source, which is the ambiguity based on the tonal variations of the same phonetic unity. ||Neste trabalho, traduzimos intersemioticamente o poema ‘O Poeta Comedor de Leões no Covil de Pedra’ (施氏食獅史, em chinês tradicional) de Chao Yuen Ren. A tradução do poema partiu de um exame direto do texto, em duas versões chinesas, e da comparação com duas traduções (ao inglês e ao francês) dele, ambas de caráter cognitivo-discursivo. O resultado, uma série de imagens baseadas em um pequeno acervo de componentes gráfico-cromáticos, se deteve na sucessão temporal dos eventos. A sequência de cortes abruptos e a estrutura rítmica variável tentam compensar a perda mais significativa do signo-fonte traduzido que é a ambiguidade baseada nas variações tonais da mesma unidade fonêmica.ABSTRACTIn this paper, we intersemiotically translate the poem ‘The Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den’ (施氏食獅史 in traditional chinese).
