【摘要】：上个世纪70年代以来,人们对隐喻本质的认识较之传统的隐喻观已发生巨大的变化。传统隐喻理论将隐喻视为一种用于修饰话语的修辞现象,其功能就是替代另一种语言表达。莱考夫和约翰逊却在两人合著的《我们赖以生存的隐喻》中指出,隐喻的本质就是将某一领域的经验用来说明或理解另一类领域的经验的一种认知活动。隐喻研究从修辞到认知的转向也为隐喻的翻译研究带来诸多启发。传统的隐喻翻译研究着眼于修辞,大多停留在语义、形式等语言层面的分析。但是认知语言学认为,语言符号是思维的载体,那么语言就是以认知为前提。所以翻译就是将原语言所表现的认知方式用目的语传递到目的语文化中去的过程,由于人们的认知方式受不同文化的影响,所以翻译同样也是传播民族文化的过程。既然认知也是隐喻形成的基础,那么避开认知讨论隐喻翻译是不可取的。概念隐喻理论强调隐喻的认知功能,弥补了传统隐喻观的不足,为隐喻翻译研究开辟了新的路径。本文主要运用概念隐喻理论,从实体隐喻、空间隐喻、结构隐喻三个角度重点研究莫言的中篇小说《红高粱家族》中的隐喻表达。通过分析这些隐喻表达的认知映射,对隐藏于隐喻表达之下的文化差异和作者的语言艺术进行解读,发现概念隐喻在文学作品中的意义和功能,即文学作品中的概念隐喻是如何塑造小说人物和表达其主题思想的。通过将原文本和葛浩文的英译本进行系统的对比研究,从认知的角度呈现和阐释译者在多大程度上再现了原文本中概念隐喻的映射。通过展开较为详尽的对比分析,本文最后总结出葛浩文先生对隐喻翻译处理的一些方法,即直译、意译、交际翻译、语义翻译和省译。这也证明了概念隐喻理论同样能够用于探讨汉英之间隐喻的互译现象。同时,作者也期望本文提炼出的隐喻处理方法能对今后具体隐喻翻译策略的提出有所启发。
[Abstract]:Since the 1970s, people's understanding of metaphorical essence has changed greatly compared with traditional metaphorical view. The traditional metaphorical theory regards metaphor as a rhetorical phenomenon used to modify utterance, and its function is to replace another language expression. Lakoff and Johnson, however, point out that the essence of metaphor is a cognitive activity in which experience in one field is used to explain or understand experience in another field. The shift of metaphor from rhetoric to cognition has also inspired the study of metaphor translation. Traditional metaphorical translation studies focus on rhetoric, mostly at the semantic, formal and other linguistic levels. However, cognitive linguistics holds that linguistic symbols are the carrier of thinking, so language is based on cognition. Therefore, translation is the process of transmitting the cognitive style of the original language into the target language culture. Because people's cognitive style is influenced by different cultures, translation is also a process of spreading national culture. Since cognition is also the basis of metaphor formation, it is not advisable to avoid cognitive discussion of metaphor translation. Conceptual metaphor theory emphasizes the cognitive function of metaphor, which makes up for the deficiency of traditional metaphorical view and opens up a new way for the study of metaphorical translation. Based on the theory of conceptual metaphor, this paper focuses on the metaphorical expression in Mo Yan's novella "Red Sorghum Family" from the perspectives of substantive metaphor, spatial metaphor and structural metaphor. By analyzing the cognitive mapping of these metaphorical expressions, the author interprets the cultural differences hidden under the metaphorical expressions and the author's language art, and finds out the significance and function of conceptual metaphor in literary works. That is how conceptual metaphors in literary works portray characters and express their themes. Through a systematic comparative study of the original text and the English version of the original text, this paper presents and interprets the extent to which the translator reproduces the mapping of conceptual metaphors in the original text from a cognitive perspective. Through detailed comparative analysis, this paper concludes some approaches to metaphor translation, namely literal translation, free translation, communicative translation, semantic translation and economizing translation. It also proves that conceptual metaphor theory can also be used to explore the phenomenon of metaphor translation between Chinese and English. At the same time, the author also hopes that the metaphorical methods extracted in this paper will enlighten the specific strategies of metaphor translation in the future.
