Question

翻译一句话，高分

愿生命化作那朵莲花

功名利禄全抛下
1 不要只顾及汉语意思说话不符合英文习惯

2 千万不要给我弄什么翻译软件，看见头大

3 大家应该知道这句歌词的背景和意思吧哈

Answer 1

是封神榜的主题曲的歌词没错，不过莲花如果只做为lotus flower好像老外不明白。佛教里，莲花与其有许多不解之缘，在此不赘。
我试着这样翻译：
A wish for the life to be a lotus flower with Buddha,
and escape the temptations of fame and wealth and achievement.
窃以为，中译英也好，英译中也罢，不能只以字面意思理解，翻译过来就完了，最损也得“雅、信、达”吧。
