本文借助20世纪早期德国作家瓦尔特·本杰明在数篇文章中形成的观点,对翻译研究领域进行了梳理,认为翻译不应该仅仅被视为是从源语言到目标语的意义传递。本杰明引用通天塔倒塌的犹太-基督寓言,提出了第三原初语言的概念,这是一种能够成为诗歌翻译过程中所有的意义指涉物的理想语言,目标语和源语言的两个诗歌版本都可指向这种原初语言。这不是一种迎合于大众、或者强求大众认可的翻译观点,而是一个值得探讨的方向。本文对比了由印度马拉地语译为英语的两个诗歌版本（其中一个版本是由诗歌马拉地语的创作者翻译）。通过分析,本文对两个版本诗歌的高低做出了评价,由此认为,领悟源语言精神的翻译方式优于小心谨慎的文学翻译方式。

The paper surveys the field of translation studies from the perspective developed in several essays from the early twentieth century by the German author Walter Benjamin to propose the argument that translation might be viewed not simply as the transference of meaning and significance from a source to a target language. Benjamin, invoking the Judaic-Christian fables of the Fall and the Tower of Babel, proposed the idea of a third ur-language, which captures the idea of an ideal language which might be the virtual referent in every act of poetic translation, such that both target and source versions of a poem might be said to refer to this ur-language. This is not a view of translation that is likely to appeal or persuade everyone; however it is interesting enough to be put to a test. The paper does that by comparing two translations into English of a poem in the Indian language Marathi, one of which is by the poet of the Marathi original. My analysis of the two translations leads to an assessment of one as better than the other,, for reasons which subsidize the conclusion that capturing the spirit of an original might sometimes prove more effective than aiming for a scrupulously literal approach.
