【摘要】：《三体》是硬科幻作家刘慈欣的作品,其文字精准严谨,想象奇幻宏大,人文关怀与理性思考并重。该作品被评价为将中国科幻升至世界水平。2014年,《三体》经美籍华裔科幻作家、翻译家刘宇昆翻译出版。英译本一经上市便收获了海外众多科幻作家及科幻迷的高度赞誉,获多项国际科幻大奖提名,并最终摘得雨果奖。这一喜人的成绩离不开作者的努力,更离不开译者刘宇昆灵活的翻译策略选择,及对英语读者阅读习惯的适应。翻译是一个译者适应与选择的循环过程。翻译适应选择论提出,译者是翻译活动的中心,在翻译生态环境中,遵从“多维度适应与适应性选择”的翻译原则,以获得整合适应选择度较高的译文。本文以翻译适应选择论为理论基础,针对《三体》英译本的适应与选择展开全面细致的分析研究。首先,从译者的适应角度出发,着重探讨译者在翻译过程中适应了哪些翻译生态环境因素,如何适应。接着,从译者的选择出发,揭示译者在适应翻译生态环境的前提下,怎样选择译文,为何这样选择。最后,本文探讨了译者的适应与选择之间的关系。研究结果表明,《三体》英译本是译者选择性适应与适应性选择的结果,具有较高的整合适应选择度。在翻译生态环境中,译者选择性地适应了其翻译动机、自身能力、原文本、译语文化、读者及编辑等因素。在适应的基础上,译者灵活地选择直译,意译,增补,加注等策略,在语言维、文化维和交际维三个层面进行了适应性选择转换。而译者的适应与选择实际上是一个循环互动的过程。本文证实了翻译适应选择论对于科幻文学翻译具有解释和指导作用。此外,对外译成功案例的探讨对文学外译,特别是科幻文学外译具有启发和借鉴意义。
[Abstract]:Three-body is the work of hard science fiction writer Liu Cixin, whose words are precise and rigorous, imaginative fantasy is grand, humanistic concern and rational thinking are equally important. The novel was rated as raising Chinese science fiction to world standards. In 2014, Triple body was translated and published by Chinese-American sci-fi writer and translator Liu Yukun. As soon as the English translation was released, it won high praise from many science fiction writers and fans overseas, winning numerous nominations for international science fiction awards and winning the Hugo Award. This gratifying achievement can not be separated from the author's efforts, but also from the translator Liu Yukun's flexible translation strategy choice and his adaptation to the reading habits of English readers. Translation is a circular process in which the translator adapts and chooses. According to the theory of adaptation choice, the translator is the center of translation activities. In the translation ecological environment, the translation principle of "multi-dimensional adaptation and adaptive choice" is followed to obtain a translation with a high degree of integration adaptation. Based on the theory of translation adaptation choice, this paper makes a comprehensive and detailed analysis of adaptation and selection of the English translation of Triple body. First of all, from the perspective of the translator's adaptation, this paper focuses on which translation ecological factors and how the translator adapts in the process of translation. Then, from the perspective of the translator's choice, it reveals how and why the translator chooses the translation under the premise of adapting to the ecological environment of translation. Finally, this paper explores the relationship between the translator's adaptation and choice. The results of the study show that the English translation is the result of the translator's selective adaptation and adaptive selection, and has a high degree of integration adaptation. In the ecological environment of translation, the translator adapts to such factors as translation motivation, competence, source text, target language culture, readers and editors. On the basis of adaptation, the translator flexibly chooses the strategies of literal translation, free translation, supplement and annotation, and makes adaptive choices at three levels: linguistic dimension, cultural dimension and communicative dimension. In fact, the translator's adaptation and choice is a process of circular interaction. This paper proves that the theory of translation adaptation can explain and guide the translation of sci-fi literature. In addition, the discussion of successful cases of foreign translation is instructive and instructive for literature translation, especially science fiction translation.
