Abstract
Hymns are of great importance in the history of Christianity, they are another classic works after the Bible. Through the hymn translation, the believers and Chinese people who are not acquainted with English could taste the flavor of hymns. This paper aims to make a tentative exploration on hymns, based on the functional translation theory, which liberates translators from the equivalence to the original text. And the writer also combines the relevant information of song translation, church music translation and Christian theological views, in order to enable readers to better understand the rationality and acceptability of the hymn translation.
Keywords: hymn translation; functionalism; rationality; acceptability
1. Introduction
It is well-known that western culture mainly stems from Christian culture. And the Christian culture includes two parts, that is the Holy Bible and hymns. Christianity is a music-oriented religion, so people can find great treasure in hymns.
1.1 Background knowledge
Hymns are one of the indispensible parts in the Christian literature. They are also regarded as great contribution after the Bible, another classic work of Christianity (Zhu Weizhi,1992). As Zhu Weizhi (1950) said in Rambling in Christian Literature in Forty Years, it is well-known that the Bible is a great treasure in the history of the world literature. Besides the Bible, hymns are at the second important place. On one hand, the contents of hymns should be lucid to understand, intelligent even to a senile woman; on the other hand, they should hold the poetic flavor so as not to be reduced to vulgarized doggerel. Tennyson, an English poet, believed hymns as a poetic style are hard to write.
