Come tradurre Milo De Angelis

Abstract

The section presents the Chinese translation of four poems by Milo De Angelis, who is among the best Italian contemporary poets. The poems are taken from the collection "Incontri e agguati" (Mondadori, 201 5). The texts are both in Italian and Chinese in parallel text. Yang Lin, with the help of Geng Jiang (Chinese musician and poet), took care of the translation. The section opens with a note made by the translation group that analyses the processes of the transposition of the dense poetic language of De Angelis into the Chinese language. There follows an enlightening letter from Milo De Angelis to the translation group. The four poems in Chinese and Italian complete the section.
