AI Overview

When translating Arthur Sze's poem “The String Diamond” (《弦钻》) into Chinese, poet Chen Li substituted the 30 listed endangered American species with endangered species found in Asia. Chen Li made this creative decision because Chinese readers would struggle to connect with American flora and fauna, such as the green-blossom pearlymussel or razorback sucker, making the list more emotionally resonant for the target audience. 

Key Details Regarding the Translation and Poem:

• Original Poem: “The String Diamond” by Arthur Sze, which includes a section listing 30 endangered species as a "litany of loss".
• The Translator: Chen Li (陳黎), a noted Taiwanese poet and translator.
• Translation Strategy: Rather than a literal translation of American species (e.g., red wolf, ocelot), Chen Li substituted them with Asian endangered species to maintain the poetic impact.
• Context: The list is designed to function as a haunting, uncommented catalog of environmental loss.
