Robert Burns wrote about 700 poems and songs. But the first poem that was translated into Chinese is “A Red, Red Rose”. It was collected into a book compiled in 1908 which was published in 1911. It was retranslated many times at different times, mostly by people who were both poets and translators at the same time. And almost all the translators were famous poets such as Su Manshu, Yuan Shuipai, Wang Zuoliang, Yuan Kejia, and Guo Moruo. These translators had their own unique taste and typical features. This article will present a survey of translation history and at the same time give some comments on different versions.
