Abstract

This article examines the previously unreported issue of the Russian translators’ perception of Cao Zhi’s poem The Sighs. Analyzing the works of L. E. Cherkassky, V. A. Zhuravlev, M. E. Kravtsova, one can draw the following conclusions: all the translators stayed very faithful to the original text. All the three translations represent the translation school founded by V. M. Alekseev, where the main goal was to convey the meanings, emotionality and imagery of the original. At the same time, three stages of the evolution of translation skills can be traced. V. A. Zhuravlev’s translation is focused on adapting Chinese poetry to the artistic perception of the mass Russian reader. L. E. Cherkassky’s translation is a step towards uniting the artistic embodiment of the original text and its original formal and lexical features. The translation by M. Ye. Kravtsova is an attempt to show the reader the originality of Chinese poetry.
