【摘要】：1993年,莫言代表作之一《红高粱家族》被美国著名汉学家葛浩文翻译成英文在美国出版。该作品由《红高粱》、《高粱酒》、《狗道》、《高粱殡》及《奇死》五部组成,以其生动的语言、非时间顺序的叙事方式和反传统的主题而极具特色。与中国当代文学作品在美国的译介情况相比,《红高粱家族》英译本在美国受到广泛欢迎,总体接受情况良好,其发行量超过两万册。近年来,在翻译研究领域,继文化转向之后又出现了社会学转向。运用社会学相关理论进行翻译研究取得一定进展。翻译的社会学研究不再局限于文本本身,而是着眼于翻译及与之相关的社会因素之间的复杂关系。在众多社会学理论当中,法国著名社会学家布迪厄提出的理论被运用于翻译研究领域的频率最高。场域、资本和惯习是该理论的三大核心概念。因此本文以布迪厄社会学理论为框架,以《红高粱家族》英译本为案例,从场域、惯习和资本三个方面着手研究该译本成功背后的社会因素。首先,中国当代文学在美国的译介仍然处于边缘化地位。同时,二十世纪九十年代的美国文学场域以后现代主义文学为主导,而《红高粱家族》的主题恰恰迎合了美国读者的阅读兴趣。其次,《红高粱家族》作者莫言以及译者葛浩文在文学和翻译领域所占有的资本都有助于其译本的成功。另外,葛浩文的翻译惯习使他的翻译既有忠实的一面也有灵活变通的一面。《红高粱家族》译本在获得巨大成功的同时,由于译者的翻译惯习使其难以避免地出现对原文有意或无意的误译,但这并不影响《红高粱家族》英译本在美国读者中获得广泛认可和接受。
[Abstract]:In 1993, one of Mo Yan's masterpieces, the Red Sorghum Family, was translated into English and published in the United States by a famous American sinologist. The work is composed of five parts: red Sorghum, Sorghum Wine, Dog Road, Sorghum Funeral and Strange death. It is characterized by its vivid language, non-temporal narrative and anti-traditional themes. Compared with the translation and introduction of Chinese contemporary literary works in the United States, the English translation of the Red Sorghum Family has been widely welcomed in the United States and received well in general, with a circulation of more than 20,000 copies. In recent years, in the field of translation studies, there has been a sociological turn after the cultural turn. Some progress has been made in translation studies using sociological theories. The sociological study of translation is no longer confined to the text itself, but rather focuses on the complex relationship between translation and its related social factors. Among many sociological theories, the theory put forward by French sociologist Bourdieu is the most frequently applied in the field of translation studies. Field, capital and habituation are the three core concepts of this theory. Therefore, based on Bourdieu's sociological theory and the English translation of Red Sorghum Family, this paper studies the social factors behind the success of the translation from three aspects: field, habit and capital. First of all, the translation of Chinese contemporary literature in the United States is still marginalized. At the same time, the field of American literature in the 1990s is dominated by postmodernist literature, and the theme of the Red Sorghum Family caters to the reading interests of American readers. Secondly, Mo Yan, the author of the Red Sorghum Family, and the capital occupied by the translator in the field of literature and translation contribute to the success of his translation. In addition, his translation habits make his translation both faithful and flexible. At the same time, the translation of the Red Sorghum Family has achieved great success. The translator's translation habits make it difficult to avoid the intentional or unintentional translation of the original, but this does not affect the wide acceptance of the English version of the Red Sorghum Family among American readers.
