发布时间：2018-08-17 10:23

【摘要】： 作为一个作家和翻译家,林语堂本人及其作品近年来得到国内的广泛关注。尽管他的许多汉译英作品也得到很多研究,但是这些研究只是专注于对他的某个译作的某个方面的具体研究,很少大量地涉及其汉译英作品。后殖民主义翻译研究从后殖民主义的角度研究翻译实践活动。到目前为止,国内的后殖民主义翻译研究已经取得不可小视的成绩,但是把后殖民主义理论与具体文本结合起来所进行的研究并不多。因此,我们从后殖民主义翻译理论的角度出发,选择了林语堂汉译英中几部比较有影响的作品作为研究对象,旨在探讨一定的社会环境对林语堂翻译活动和翻译选择所产生的可能影响,考查其汉译英过程中的目的,而翻译目的又可以通过其对翻译策略的不同选择得到体现。理论方面首先简单回顾了后殖民主义理论、后殖民主义翻译理论、归化异化策略、目的论以及林语堂的汉译英作品等,而后对其译作抽样进行了详细而深入的案例分析。翻译过程涉及语言和文化,因此这些因素都应纳入研究范围。我们在对此进行归纳阐述的同时,还从语言和文化角度对抽样译作进行了数据分析和统计,作为论述的佐证。结论认为:林语堂在汉译英过程中更倾向于多种翻译策略的混合灵活使用。其中归化的翻译策略使用居多,异化翻译策略和两种策略的混合使用也在其翻译策略运用中占一定比例。这项研究不仅让我们具体了解到林语堂在一定社会环境影响下所选择的汉译英翻译策略,深化对林语堂的研究,而且对其它类似境遇中的文学作品研究提供了更多有价值的研究素材。全文的研究从后殖民主义翻译理论的角度出发来探究林语堂的汉译英作品,认为无论林语堂在其翻译过程中采取的是归化策略,异化策略,或者是两种策略的结合,他主要都是为了通过向西方读者介绍中国的独特文化,通过与西方世界的文化交流,在西方世界的读者心里建立起一种中国的民族身份。
[Abstract]:As a writer and translator, Lin Yutang himself and his works have received wide attention in recent years. Although many of his Chinese-English works have been studied, these studies only focus on some aspects of his translation, and rarely involve his Chinese-English translation. The study of post-colonialism translation studies the practical activities of translation from the perspective of post-colonialism. Up to now, domestic post-colonialism translation studies have made great achievements, but there are few studies on the combination of post-colonialism theory and specific texts. Therefore, from the perspective of post-colonial translation theory, we choose several influential works of Lin Yutang translation from Chinese to English as the research object. The purpose of this study is to explore the possible effects of certain social circumstances on Lin Yutang translation activities and translation choices, and to examine the purposes in the process of translating from Chinese to English, which can be reflected by their different choices of translation strategies. In theory, the author reviews the postcolonialism theory, post-colonialism translation theory, domestication strategy, Skopos theory and Lin Yutang's Chinese-English translation works, and then makes a detailed and in-depth case study of their translations. The translation process involves language and culture, so these factors should be included in the study. At the same time, we analyze and analyze the sample translation from the angle of language and culture. The conclusion is that Lin Yutang is more inclined to mix and use various translation strategies in the process of C-E translation. Among them, the domestication translation strategy is mostly used, and the mixed use of the two strategies also accounts for a certain proportion of the translation strategies. This study not only makes us understand the C-E translation strategies chosen by Lin Yutang under the influence of certain social environment, but also deepens the study of Lin Yutang. Moreover, it provides more valuable materials for the study of other literary works in similar circumstances. From the perspective of post-colonial translation theory, this thesis explores Lin Yutang's Chinese-English translation, and holds that whether Lin Yutang adopts a domestication strategy, a dissimilation strategy or a combination of the two strategies in his translation process. His main purpose is to introduce the unique Chinese culture to the western readers and to establish a Chinese national identity in the hearts of the readers in the western world through cultural exchanges with the western world.
