\n      Trans\u00adla\u00adtor Wal\u00adter
\nThis lit\u00adtle poem by de la Mer, \u201cSnow\u201d, was a very inter\u00adest\u00ading learn\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adence for me.
\nTo be pre\u00adcise, it is the trans\u00adla\u00adtion of the pic\u00adture book adapt\u00aded from this poem.
\n. <\/span>

\n     
\n When the edi\u00adtor first asked me to write the arti\u00adcle, I was first impressed by the pic\u00adtures \u2014 they were very beau\u00adti\u00adful, and
\nA rare puri\u00adty! Per\u00adhaps this is what a poem titled \u201cSnow\u201d should look like.
\nThe pic\u00adtures are also very child\u00adlike, with snow\u00admen, snow\u00adball fights, and San\u00adta Claus falling from the sky. It is quite fun.
\nIt must be a joy\u00adous thing to trans\u00adlate this beloved lit\u00adtle book, so I am very hap\u00adpy.
\nXing agreed.   <\/span><\/p>\n

\n    But who is the author De La Mare?
\nThis Eng\u00adlish poet and nov\u00adel\u00adist is also trans\u00adlat\u00aded as \u201cDe La Mare\u201d, prob\u00ada\u00adbly con\u00adsid\u00ader\u00ading the fact that \u201cD
\ne la 
\n The sur\u00adname \u201cM are\u201d comes from France, but here we still fol\u00adlow the Eng\u00adlish
\nWikipedi\u00ada\u2019s pho\u00adnet\u00adic trans\u00adla\u00adtion is de la Mer. He was born in 1873 and was active in 1910.
\nAfter the Tang Dynasty, his style is quite sim\u00adi\u00adlar to that of the Lake Poets Wordsworth and Coleridge, but in terms of sur\u00adre\u00adal\u00adism
\nThe imagery of the poem is unique, and William Blake is high\u00adly respect\u00aded. How\u00adev\u00ader, in the gen\u00ader\u00adal his\u00adto\u00adry of British poet\u00adry
\nHe does not have a promi\u00adnent posi\u00adtion, so ordi\u00adnary poet\u00adry lovers may not know him. In fact, he is main\u00adly
\nActive in the world of chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture. <\/span>
\n In 1
\nThe book \u201cHap\u00adpy Years\u201d pub\u00adlished in 1953 is regard\u00aded as a bench\u00admark in the field of Eng\u00adlish chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture and chil\u00addren\u2019s libraries.
\nIn the nov\u00adel, de la Mer is high\u00adly praised and appears at least 33 times in the whole book, not only because he cre\u00adat\u00aded
\nHis chil\u00addren\u2019s poet\u00adry is a mod\u00adel of good poet\u00adry, and also because of his stan\u00addards for select\u00ading poet\u00adry col\u00adlec\u00adtions and judg\u00ading excel\u00adlent chil\u00addren\u2019s works.
\nDe La Mer firm\u00adly believed that only the best works could tru\u00adly move chil\u00addren.
\nHe also insist\u00aded that \u201cthere should be no age lim\u00adit in cre\u00adation, and we should ful\u00adly trust chil\u00addren\u2019s instinc\u00adtive response to beau\u00adty and won\u00adder.\u201d
\n\u201d Lil\u00adlian H. Smith, author of \u201cGlee Years\u201d, praised: \u201cDe La Mare\u2019s cou\u00adplets
\nThe effect of the book on chil\u00addren is that it awak\u00adens their hearts, their imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtions, and a cer\u00adtain beau\u00adty which is invis\u00adi\u00adble to the eyes\u2014a beau\u00adty which must be awak\u00adened.
\nThe beau\u00adty that can only be dis\u00adcov\u00adered by awak\u00aden\u00ading all the sens\u00ades.\u201d Li Lian\u2019s men\u00adtor, the New York Pub\u00adlic Library Chil\u00addren\u2019s Book Depart\u00adment
\nAnne Car\u00adroll Moore, the head of the Amer\u00adi\u00adcan chil\u00addren\u2019s book indus\u00adtry, is also very fond of de la Mare.
\nIn her col\u00adlec\u00adtion of chil\u00addren\u2019s book reviews, \u201cThree Owls,\u201d pub\u00adlished in 1929, there is a spe\u00adcial arti\u00adcle
\n\u201cDe la Mer\u2019s Birth\u00adday\u201d is as impor\u00adtant as \u201cAnder\u00adsen\u2019s Birth\u00adday\u201d

\n De la Mer\u2019s poem \u201cSnow\u201d was includ\u00aded in the 1922 edi\u00adtion of \u201cThe

\n Poems), as the name sug\u00adgests, the poems in this col\u00adlec\u00adtion all have a
\nFairy tale fun. At the begin\u00adning of the trans\u00adla\u00adtion, I decid\u00aded to put aside the pic\u00adtures and trans\u00adlate the poem inde\u00adpen\u00addent\u00adly, but after read\u00ading it over and over again
\nI felt like I had stepped into anoth\u00ader world\u2014a world com\u00adplete\u00adly dif\u00adfer\u00adent from the one cre\u00adat\u00aded by the pic\u00adture book.
\nThe mood is more qui\u00adet and mys\u00adte\u00adri\u00adous, with\u00adout a trace of joy, and\u2026 Wait a minute, how about the orig\u00adi\u00adnal poem?
\nFour extra lines? <\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n 
\n     
\n After the pic\u00adture book text, it says: \u201cA n
\nd from 
\n her dark
\n\u2013 gnarled 
\n \/ Yew \u2013 tr
\nee lair 
\n \/ F lit
\ns she

\n \/ I
\nhid\u00ading 
\n \u201d There .\u201d Ten\u00adta\u00adtive trans\u00adla\u00adtion: \u201d It has been lurk\u00ading for a long time.
\nshe \/ 
\n From the gnarled yew tree 
\n \/ That dark nest
\nhole \/ 
\n Who is this \u201cshe\u201d here? It\u2019s def\u00adi\u00adnite\u00adly not the
\nThe robin in the feath\u00aders of fire, because the orig\u00adi\u00adnal poem uses \u201che\u201d there. Why is the robin shriek\u00ading?
\nAfter singing, will \u201cshe\u201d spread her wings and fly away? For some rea\u00adson, I smell a hint of \u201cdeath\u201d in this image.
\nOf course, it can also be inter\u00adpret\u00aded as per\u00adma\u00adnent peace, after this last moment of move\u00adment,
\nInto a deep silence. <\/span>
\n <\/span>
\n 
\n     
\n But as Coleridge said, \u201cWhen poet\u00adry is under\u00adstood only in gen\u00ader\u00adal and not in detail,
\nWhen it is ful\u00adly under\u00adstood, the joy it brings is far greater.\u201d This is true for adults, but espe\u00adcial\u00adly for chil\u00addren.
\nDe la Mer even believes that this is the rea\u00adson why poet\u00adry attracts chil\u00addren, and of course he also believes that the sound of poet\u00adry
\nThe musi\u00adcal\u00adi\u00adty is more attrac\u00adtive to chil\u00addren than the mean\u00ading itself. So next, I no longer dwell on \u201cthe most impor\u00adtant thing about this poem\u201d.
\nWhat do you want to con\u00advey at the begin\u00adning? The focus is main\u00adly on how to make this poem res\u00adonate.
\nIt sounds bet\u00adter, and it has a bit of a snowy feel\u00ading. The orig\u00adi\u00adnal poem has about 4 syl\u00adla\u00adbles per sen\u00adtence, short
\nI also try to keep the length of each sen\u00adtence to 4 to 6 words.
\nThe labio\u00adden\u00adtal con\u00adso\u00adnants are very light, cre\u00adat\u00ading a soft feel\u00ading of snowflakes. It is not easy to find a cor\u00adre\u00adspond\u00ading method in Chi\u00adnese.
\n, we can only look for rhymes and words that have a lighter pro\u00adnun\u00adci\u00ada\u00adtion, such as \u201c\u5c0f\u679d\u3001\u5927\u679d\u201d,
\n\/ blades of grass, thorns,
\n\/ Every\u00adthing Frozen 
\n \/ Qui\u00adet and lone\u00adly.
\nWhether it works in the end is left to the read\u00aders to judge.

\n      How\u00adev\u00ader, I also
\nI could\u00adn\u2019t resist my curios\u00adi\u00adty and still want\u00aded to under\u00adstand why the pic\u00adture book text was treat\u00aded like that, so I final\u00adly con\u00adtact\u00aded
\nI think the illus\u00adtra\u00adtor, Car\u00adoli\u00adna Rabe, might have an answer for me. Her answer was very inter\u00adest\u00ading. She said
\nThe edi\u00adtor of this book gave her this ver\u00adsion, with\u00adout men\u00adtion\u00ading (or know\u00ading) that there was anoth\u00ader
\nThe edi\u00adtor asked her to cre\u00adate a warm and fun Christ\u00admas pic\u00adture book, so she added
\nI added many details of my own imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion, almost cre\u00adat\u00ading anoth\u00ader sto\u00adry. \u2014 \u2014 Indeed, if you read care\u00adful\u00adly,
\nRead\u00aders may notice that the sto\u00adry in the pic\u00adture book is strung togeth\u00ader by the robin, from the fly\u00ading bird on the front end\u00adpa\u00adper to the
\nThe fly\u00ading out of the end pages leaves peo\u00adple with a lot of imag\u00adi\u00adna\u00adtion.

\n    I was not entire\u00adly sur\u00adprised by Rabe\u2019s response.
\nTo some extent, this is to be expect\u00aded. She is a very young artist, born and raised in Roma\u00adnia.
\nShe was immersed in Roman\u00adian clas\u00adsic chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture since child\u00adhood, and Eng\u00adlish is not her native lan\u00adguage.
\nAfter obtain\u00ading a mas\u00adter\u2019s degree in chil\u00addren\u2019s illus\u00adtra\u00adtion from Cam\u00adbridge School of Art in the UK, I was invit\u00aded by the edi\u00adtor to draw for Snow.
\nIllus\u00adtra\u00adtion, this is her debut work! The \u201ccun\u00adning\u201d edi\u00adtor did not let her delve into the text of the orig\u00adi\u00adnal poem, but
\nShe was asked to express the joy and warmth of Christ\u00admas Eve as much as pos\u00adsi\u00adble, and she com\u00adplet\u00aded the task almost per\u00adfect\u00adly.
\nThis short poem by La Mare, pub\u00adlished in 1922, is accom\u00adpa\u00adnied by a paint\u00ading by a young artist in 2014.
\nYears of cre\u00adation, col\u00adlab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion across time and space, words and pic\u00adtures each with their own sto\u00adries and strengths, ulti\u00admate\u00adly form\u00ading this
\nA pecu\u00adliar pic\u00adture book. This is prob\u00ada\u00adbly what Per\u00adry Nord\u00adman (author of The Joy of Chil\u00addren\u2019s Lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture, Cana\u00adda)
\nWhat the Cana\u00addi\u00adan chil\u00addren\u2019s lit\u00ader\u00ada\u00adture the\u00ado\u00adrist calls the \u201cthird sto\u00adry\u201d com\u00adposed of text and pic\u00adtures
