Bridging the Cultural Gap over Milk Tea
About this Event
為了搭起文化的橋樑，請來支持這本唐詩絕句英譯！Classical Chinese quatrains (絕句) are essential to childhood education in the Sinophone world, but sharing their rhythm and depth with English-speaking youth can be a challenge for Chinese-American parents. In the meantime, most mainstream Americans are utterly unfamiliar with these treasures of Chinese culture. Only faithful and beautiful English translations of classical Chinese quatrains can bridge this cultural gap.
作者擁有史丹福（斯坦福）學歷。 此書特别適合十到十七歲的青少年，書中充滿了引人入勝的彩色圖片，而且很難得英譯像原文一樣押韻，自然流暢如英詩。Stanford-educated author Crystal Tai will host a family-friendly book signing mixer at Milk & Honey Cafe in Fremont. This drop-in event is specifically designed for parents and their pre-teens/teenagers (ages 10 to 17) . The book is full of captivating colorful pictures. It's remarkable that all of the book's English translations preserve the original rhyme schemes of the classical Chinese quatrains, whether the rhyme scheme is AABA or ABCB, while looking natural and idiomatic like original English poems.
