【摘要】：译介与内化外来文化是翻译的功用之一。在翻译过程中,一方面由于译者长期浸染于译入语系统文化当中,其翻译活动无疑要受到所属文化传统的影响,其文化立场也必然渗透到他的翻译中。另一方面,由于译者需要考虑服务对象的阅读需求和译作的潜在市场,其翻译活动在很大程度上会受到译入语系统当时流行的创作思想和主流创作形式的影响。十七十八世纪至五四前后这一段特定的历史时期,译入语文化对翻译活动的内化与规约表现在:为了满足中国读者的心理需求,将外国人名、地名、称谓等专有名词中国化;为了迎合国人的审美情趣,因袭传统写作模式和风格,小说常采用仿章回体的翻译体例,诗歌多采用中国古典诗词形式;为了帮助读者欣赏作品,大幅增、删或改造原文的现象十分普遍。这种内化现象表面上是对原著的篡改和"变形",其实说到底还是翻译主体在试图消解中西两种文化间的差距,有其自身存在的合理性。
[Abstract]:Translation and internalization of foreign culture is one of the functions of translation. In the process of translation, on the one hand, because the translator has long been immersed in the target language system culture, his translation activities will undoubtedly be influenced by his cultural tradition, and his cultural position will inevitably permeate into his translation. On the other hand, due to the need to consider the readers' reading needs and the potential market for the translation, the translator's translation activities will be influenced to a great extent by the prevailing creative ideas and mainstream creative forms of the target language system at that time. During the specific historical period from the 17th century to the May 4th century, the translation activities were internalized and regulated by the target language culture: in order to meet the psychological needs of Chinese readers, foreign names, place names, appellations and other proper nouns were localized in China; In order to cater to the aesthetic tastes of Chinese people, the traditional writing mode and style are inherited, and the style of translation is often adopted in novels, and Chinese classical poetry is often used in poetry. In order to help readers appreciate the works, the phenomenon of greatly increasing, deleting or modifying the original text is very common. On the surface, the phenomenon of internalization is the tampering and "distortion" of the original works, but in fact, the translation subject is trying to resolve the gap between Chinese and Western cultures, which has its own rationality.
