Kenneth M. Price : Interview with Zhao Luorui. Zhao, Luorui : I think the Chinese people, even the government, always considered Walt Whitman a democrat and a very good friend of the common people. T.S. Eliot was easier to translate, he could be done literally, word by word. It was not extremely difficult to translate The waste land. And I did some of Henry James's novellas, and I found them more difficult than Eliot – the sentences are so involved. But I found Whitman the most difficult. I had to know the man before I could translate him I didn't need to know Eliot to translate his poetry. But I did need to know Whitman as man – his habits of thought, his background, his idiosyncracies even – in order to be able to translate him. |
