【摘要】：沈从文是当代著名作家,以抒情田园文笔见长。他的作品《边城》被翻译为十三种语言译介到世界各国,备受欢迎。其中就《边城》的英文版本就有四个,本文选取最新的两个英文译本作为研究对象,分别是杨宪益、戴乃迭夫妇在1962年完成的译本和美国汉学家金介甫在2009年出版的译本。这两个译本的出现相差了将近半个世纪,译者所处的历史条件、政治背景和自身经历都有很大差异,所以译者的主体性表现也有很大的不同。以往对于《边城》的这两个译本的对比研究主要是从翻译美学,翻译改写,翻译目的论以及翻译的适应与选择等角度出发,而本文以译者主体性为研究对象,从阐释学的研究视角对两个译本所表现的典型主体性差异进行对比,并就译本中由主体性不同所呈现出的不同的翻译方法进行对比研究。乔治·斯坦纳则将阐释学运用到翻译研究的领域,并提出了阐释运作的四步骤,即“信赖”、“侵入”、“吸收”和“补偿”。这四个步骤均能体现出译者处理文本时的自主性和能动性,所以能对译者主体性的解释提供有力的理论依据。本文以乔治·斯坦纳的阐释运作四步骤为依据,对两个译本中的译者主体性的典型差异进行对比研究。这是对先前的《边城》英译本的对比研究做出的新的补充。通过对两个英文译本的对比研究发现,两组译者对原文的“信任”来自于他们对沈从文《边城》的高度评价、译者本身的文化语言能力以及译者的意图;第二步“侵入”以杨宪益、戴乃迭夫妇和金介甫为对《边城》的不同理解为基础,表现为对原文中凸显中国文化的部分的不同阐释。第三步“吸收”主要是对原文意义和形式两个层面的吸收,具体体现在两组译者翻译策略的不同,杨氏夫妇更倾向于使用“归化”策略,而金介甫倾向于“异化”策略。最后一步“补偿”中,译者通过直接补偿、间接补偿、删除和替代的手段,使译文与原文尽力达到一种平衡。杨氏夫妇倾向于间接补偿、删除和替代的手段达到两者的平衡,而金介甫倾向于直接和间接补偿的手段。论文最后得出结论,从阐释运作的视角来看,杨宪益、戴乃迭的译本和金介甫译本都充分体现了译者的主体性,具体到翻译技巧表现为,杨戴译本通过省略、合并等方法使译本更加流畅通顺,更符合目的语的表达习惯;而金译本通过增词、拆分短句等方法使译本更加详细生动,更具有异域风情。
[Abstract]:Shen Congwen is a famous contemporary writer. His works "Border City" has been translated into 13 languages and is popular all over the world. Among them, there are four English versions of "Border City". This paper selects the two latest English versions as the research objects, one by Yang Xianyi and the other by the couple of Dai Nadii in 1962, and the other by the American sinologist Jin Jiefu in 2009. The two versions have been different for nearly half a century. The translator's historical conditions, political background and his own experience are very different, so the translator's subjective performance is also very different. In the past, the contrastive study of the two versions of "Border Town" is mainly from the perspective of translation aesthetics and translation rewriting. From the perspective of Skopos Theory and the adaptation and selection of translation, this paper, taking the translator's subjectivity as the object of study, compares the typical subjectivity differences between the two versions from the perspective of hermeneutics. And a contrastive study of the different translation methods presented by different subjectivity in the translation. George Steiner applied hermeneutics to the field of translation studies, and proposed four steps to explain the operation. These four steps, namely "trust", "invasion", "absorption" and "compensation", can all reflect the translator's autonomy and initiative in dealing with the text. So it can provide a powerful theoretical basis for the translator's interpretation of subjectivity. This paper is based on the four steps of George Steiner's interpretation. This paper makes a comparative study of the typical differences of translator's subjectivity in the two versions, which is a new supplement to the contrastive study of the previous English versions of Border Town. The "trust" of the two groups comes from their high appreciation of Shen Congwen, the translator's own cultural and linguistic competence, and the translator's intention. The Dainaidi and Jin Jiefu are based on different understandings of the Frontier City, which is represented by different interpretations of the parts of the original text that highlight Chinese culture. The third step of "absorption" is mainly the absorption of the meaning and form of the original text. The difference in translation strategies between the two groups is reflected in the fact that the Young and his wife tend to use the "domestication" strategy, while Jin Jiefu prefers the "alienation" strategy. In the last step, the translator compensates through direct compensation and indirect compensation. The means of deletion and substitution make it possible to strike a balance between the original text and the target text. The Young and his wife tend to make indirect compensation, while the means of deletion and substitution achieve a balance between the two. However, Jin Jiefu tends to use direct and indirect means of compensation. Finally, the thesis draws a conclusion that from the perspective of interpretation and operation, the translation of Yang Xianyi, Dai Naidi and Jin Jiefu fully embody the translator's subjectivity. As far as translation techniques are concerned, Yang Dai's translation is more smooth and consistent with the target language expression by ellipsis, merging and other methods, while the Jin version makes the translation more detailed and vivid by adding words, splitting short sentences, and so on. More exotic amorous feelings.
