【摘要】：弗拉基米尔·纳博科夫的《透明物》是一部元小说风格的作品,内容隐晦,结构复杂。其叙事者具备双重身份,小说表面来看是围绕着主人公的四次瑞士之旅展开的有关主人公的命运故事,而深层故事却是有关一个作家如何建构一部艺术作品的步骤勾勒。这部作品目前国内有两个译本,但是由于两位译者都没有看出原著貌似混乱的表象下面隐藏的深层秩序,两个译本都在不同程度上把原作中一些关键性的信息当做噪音屏蔽掉了,结果彻底消解了原作中的深层故事,破坏了原作的元小说风格,让中文译本读者感受到的只是一些混乱琐碎的细节。强调秩序隐藏于混沌之中的混沌理论被认为是解读元小说的一种有效方法,借用该理论的"神奇吸力"、"重复"和"自我组织"三个概念,认为《透明物》的各种叙事技巧使其文本结构具备"自我组织能力",召唤读者对文本反复重读。
[Abstract]:Vladimir Nabokov's transparent object is a metafiction-style work with obscure content and complex structure. The narrator has a dual identity. The novel is, on the surface, a story about the fate of the protagonist around his four trips to Switzerland, while the deep story is a sketch of how a writer constructs an artistic work. At present, there are two translations of this work in China, but since neither translator can see the deep order hidden beneath the seemingly chaotic appearance of the original work, In both versions, some of the key information in the original is blocked as noise to varying degrees, resulting in the complete elimination of the deep story of the original and the destruction of the metafiction style of the original. What makes the Chinese translation readers feel is only a few confusing and trivial details. The chaos theory, which emphasizes that order is hidden in chaos, is considered to be an effective way to interpret metafiction. The three concepts of "magic suction", "repetition" and "self-organization" of the theory are used. It is believed that the various narrative techniques of Transparency make the structure of the text "self-organizing", which calls the reader to reread the text over and over again.
