【摘要】：《檀香刑》是诺贝尔文学奖获得者莫言的一部作品,曾在文学界引起热议。同时,葛浩文先生所译的《檀香刑》也引起了相关学者和专家的深入研究。这些研究主要从翻译补偿理论、动态对等理论、移植改写、文化翻译理论等方面对英译本进行探索。虽然上述研究有其自身优势,但大都只借助理论的一个微观层面对文本进行阐述和解读,极少关注译者本身的角色或从宏观层面全面解读《檀香刑》英译本。胡庚申提出的翻译适应选择论为宏观层面研究翻译过程提供了方向,该理论认为翻译的实质就是“译者适应翻译生态环境的选择活动”。本文主要借助翻译适应选择论研究《檀香刑》英译本,以期丰富该英译本的研究。论文采用定性分析的研究方法,研究翻译适应选择论视角下的《檀香刑》英译本。论文首先进行了文献综述,然后介绍了本文的理论框架:胡庚申的翻译适应选择论。同时重点介绍了译者的适应:对需要、能力、翻译生态环境的适应,也就是翻译生态环境对译者的选择,正如自然界中的“适者生存、优胜劣汰”,并探讨了作为翻译生态环境典型要件的译者在语言维、文化维、交际维三个维度上的选择转换。研究发现,译者翻译《檀香刑》是基于内部需要和外部需要以及自身能力及翻译生态环境的适应,满足了西方读者了解中国文化的愿望并实现了译者本身的价值;同时凭借精湛的双语转换能力和长期的翻译实践在英汉两种语言中进行了多维度地选择。语言维上,译者实现了原文风格的再现,如口语化语言、修辞及小说特有的猫腔语言;文化维上,译者通过运用归化、异化相结合及多种翻译技巧译者完成了生态、物质、社会和宗教文化方面的转换;交际维上,译者主要通过增减词项、标点符号,运用大写、斜体来实现交际意图。通过分析可知,译者完成了包括原文、译语、原语、读者在内的整个翻译生态环境的适应,同时实现了三维转换选择。本文通过对《檀香刑》英译本中适应选择的研究,加深了对翻译适应选择论内涵的理解,验证了翻译适应选择论的适用性;该研究也对《檀香刑》深层内涵的理解具有借鉴意义,为该英译本的研究提供了一个新的视角。
[Abstract]:Sandalwood punishment is a work of Mo Yan, the Nobel Prize winner in literature, which has aroused heated discussion in literary circles. At the same time, the translation of Sandalwood punishment by Mr. Gehhot has also aroused the in-depth study of relevant scholars and experts. These studies mainly explore English translation from the aspects of translation compensation theory, dynamic equivalence theory, transplantation and rewriting, cultural translation theory and so on. Although the above studies have their own advantages, most of them only use a microscopic level of theory to explain and interpret the text, and pay little attention to the role of the translator himself or to the comprehensive interpretation of the English version of Honolulu punishment from the macro level. Hu Gengshen's theory of choice of translation adaptation provides a direction for the study of translation process at the macro level, which holds that the essence of translation is "the translator's choice of adaptation to the ecological environment of translation". This paper mainly studies the English version of Sandalwood punishment with the help of the theory of adaptation to translation, in order to enrich the study of the English version. Based on qualitative analysis, this paper studies the English translation of Sandalwood penalty from the perspective of adaptation choice theory. The thesis firstly reviews the literature and then introduces the theoretical framework of this paper: Hu Gengshen's theory of adaptation to translation. At the same time, it focuses on the translator's adaptation: adaptation to needs, ability and translation ecological environment, that is, the choice of translation ecological environment to the translator, just as the survival of the fittest, survival of the fittest and survival of the fittest in nature. This paper also discusses the translator's choice and transformation in three dimensions: language dimension, cultural dimension and communicative dimension, which are typical elements of translation ecological environment. It is found that the translation of sandalwood punishment is based on the internal and external needs, as well as the adaptation of its own ability and the translation ecological environment, which satisfies the Western readers' desire to understand Chinese culture and realizes the translator's own value. At the same time, it makes a multi-dimensional choice between English and Chinese by virtue of its excellent bilingual conversion ability and long-term translation practice. In the linguistic dimension, the translator realizes the reproduction of the original style, such as colloquial language, rhetoric and the cat language unique to the novel, while in the cultural dimension, the translator completes the ecological and material aspects through the application of domestication, foreignization and various translation techniques. Social and religious cultural transformation; communicative dimension, the translator mainly through the addition and subtraction of words, punctuation, capital, italics to achieve communicative intention. Through the analysis, the translator has completed the adaptation of the whole translation environment, including the original, the target language, the original language and the reader, and has realized the choice of three-dimensional transformation. Through the study of adaptation choice in the English version of Sandalwood punishment, this paper deepens the understanding of the connotation of the adaptation selection theory and verifies the applicability of the adaptation choice theory. The study also provides a new perspective for the study of Sandalwood punishment.
