中新社西安9月6日电 题:陕西文学“牵手”乌尔都语 “巴铁”青年跨界传递文化共鸣

作者 杨英琦 梅镱泷

“这些文字写的是陕西的土地,读起来却像是在讲我们自己的人生,因此跨越国界引发共鸣。”凌晨五点,古城西安尚在夜色中,巴基斯坦青年吴思曼已在灯下伏案,将陕西作家贾平凹的作品逐字译成乌尔都语。几个小时后,他又将切换身份,处理医疗器械和新能源产品的跨国生意。

从初中读到一篇描写中国学生生活的课文起,吴思曼就对中国心生向往。2011年,他放弃德国留学机会,来到西北工业大学求学。彼时的吴思曼没有料到,自己会在西安娶妻生子,将这座古城视作“第二个老家”,对扯面和泡馍的味道如数家珍。

中巴经济走廊项目启动后,刚毕业不久的吴思曼捕捉到商机。“巴基斯坦优质医疗器械企业希望打开中国市场,但缺少对接渠道,我便开始创业。”2017年至今,他在中国已积累二十余家稳定客户。2024年,他又将目光投向新能源领域。“巴基斯坦在高温天气下停电频发,太阳能板、锂电池等产品需求量较大。”吴思曼将相关中国产品引入当地后,短短半年便在二十多个城市建立合作网络,产品供不应求。

“中国有完备的供应链,巴基斯坦有生产空间,依托共建‘一带一路’倡议,两地的合作将面向全世界的市场。”吴思曼认为,这条新丝路既是商贸之路,也是把中国机遇带回祖国的通途。

创业之路并非一帆风顺,处于迷茫期的吴思曼读到了贾平凹的《丑石》。“那块无人问津却自有价值的石头,让我重新思考:我的价值到底是什么。”吴思曼说,他将文章译成英文分享至海外平台,意外引发大量网友共鸣。这让他萌生出将陕西文学翻译给家乡人看的念头。

2023年,吴思曼获得《贾平凹散文选》乌尔都语翻译授权后,组建中、英、巴三国学者团队,在创业之余投入翻译工作。第一次尝试翻译文学作品的吴思曼坦言,陕西文学中的乡土语境与方言表达是他面临的最大挑战。“我尝试走进作者的创作场景,理解他内心的想法,再借助乌尔都语诗歌般的语言特质,重构译文的节奏韵律。”

历时三年,《贾平凹散文选》乌尔都语版将于本月底面世。《秦腔》《废都》及陈忠实、路遥等陕派作家作品,也被列入吴思曼的翻译计划。

工作之余,吴思曼还与朋友在巴基斯坦创办了一所公益汉语学校。“我曾亲眼看见中资企业和巴基斯坦学生,都卡在语言和文化的鸿沟面前,让双方跨越这道鸿沟,就是我们办学的初衷。”学校既教当地青年学习语言、争取来华留学机会,也为中资企业培训本地员工,至今已累计培训超五千人。

从懵懂少年到跨国创业者,在文学与商贸之间穿行的吴思曼认为,“‘巴铁’不只是一个形容词,更是一个‘动词’,代表着我们普通人做的一件件力所能及的小事。”(完)
