【摘要】：本文对《中华思想文化术语》前四辑700余引例出处共260余种古籍名称的英译进行分析,通过对比译文和古籍名称实际含义,总结英语翻译中带有规律性的一些难点及应对策略。古籍名称英译的难点主要表现在:含文体类型;含注释名称;含文史典故和文学性修饰语;存在"异名同实"和"同名异实"现象;名称过于简略。《中华思想文化术语》的译者所采取的应对策略主要有:尊重并借鉴汉学家和前人的译名成果;了解作者写作意图,深刻理解古籍名称背后的深层语义;如果原名称无法直接翻译,允许译文作一定变通;必要时可以对文献名称在内容或信息方面有所修改;尽可能排除理解上的歧义;同"类"名称的译名尽量一致。
[Abstract]:This paper analyzes the English translation of more than 260 ancient book names from 700 citations in the first four series of "Chinese ideological and Cultural terms". By comparing the actual meanings of the translations with the names of ancient books, this paper sums up some difficulties and countermeasures in English translation with regularity. The difficulties in translating ancient book names into English are as follows: style types; annotated names; literary and historical allusions and literary modifiers; existence of the phenomena of "synonym and reality" and "different facts of the same name"; The translator of "Chinese ideological and Cultural terms" mainly adopts the following strategies: respecting and drawing lessons from the translation achievements of Sinologists and predecessors; understanding the author's writing intention and deeply understanding the deep semantics behind the names of ancient books; If the original name can not be translated directly, the translation is allowed to make certain modifications; if necessary, the name of the document can be modified in terms of content or information; as far as possible, the ambiguity of understanding can be eliminated; and the translation name of the name of "class" is consistent as far as possible.
