As for the poetry translation appreciation and criticism, this essay would mainly discuss the appreciation and criticism of poetry translation based on the comparative analysis of different versions of translation of the same poetry——A Psalm of Life, written by Henry Wordsworth Long Fellow. After the comparable analysis of three versions, whether the cultural factor has been considered or not can be uncovered clearly. Furthermore, in the process of appreciation, people can also learn how to translate the poetry properly. Besides, such analysis is conducive to the appreciation of poetry translation in the cross-culture background, which is inspiring and instructive.
