【摘要】：哈金与谭恩美二人均为"华裔美国作家",两人的语言风格具有颇多相似之处。作品中均多次出现带有"中国特征"的英语表达,中国特色文化也是二人作品中避不开的元素。但哈金与谭恩美二人的成长背景及对中国的认识却大不相同。本文将以二人的代表作《等待》和《喜福会》为例,探讨其语言风格特征及二人的"中国性"在美国文化中的体现与表达。本文共分为五部分:引言简要介绍了哈金、谭恩美二人的生活背景及各自的代表作——《等待》与《喜福会》,以及国内国外对二人作品的研究和本论文的研究主题。第一章分析、总结了哈金与谭恩美作品的语言特征。本章首先介绍了中国学者葛传i提出的"中国英语"概念,哈金和谭对语言的一些独特处理恰可归入这一范畴。此外也探讨了"中国英语"的先驱人物林语堂先生及印度作家萨尔曼·拉什迪的语言特征。哈金的"中国英语"可归为三类:常见事物的陌生化、具有时代特征的事物、以及俗语谚语的翻译。谭恩美也会对平常事物进行陌生化处理,及进行谚语翻译,除此之外,她在文中大量使用汉语拼音表达,并融入了自己母亲所操的一口"支离破碎"的口语。作者对语言的特殊处理是与自身的经历、观点密不可分的。第二章分析了哈金的生活背景、文学观点和写作特征。印度英语文学,尤其是流散文学,已成为了当今文坛的一股中坚力量,并在此过程中发展出了多个成熟理论,中国流散文学研究可从中得以借鉴。本章首先讨论了印度英语文学的发展及在此过程中形成的主要观点,并对照阐述了哈金对于家乡、祖国及流散作家等问题的看法。哈金认为,家园仅指居住的地理空间,写作是精神上的家园,他将自己视作一个孤独的作者,在写作中寻求生存。第三章探讨了谭恩美的成长背景及写作特征。母亲对谭的创作具有深远影响,不仅体现在故事、主题上,还包括语言的使用。根据母亲的讲述,谭恩美会对材料进行再创作,形成了自己的独特风格。基于双重文化的熏陶,谭还能够在写作中巧妙地对文化差异加以阐释,或利用意象、象征等手法推动二者的融合,可谓是得益于成长背景的影响。结论指出,虽然哈金和谭恩美二人归属于相同的作家范畴,且乍看之下具有颇为相似的写作风格,但二人的生活背景、创作主题及写作手法则大为不同。二人虽年纪相仿,却可谓分属不同代际,"中国性"在二人身上具有不同的体现。而二人写作中的"中国特性",正是其作品的根基、魅力所在。
[Abstract]:Harkin and Amy Tan are both "Chinese American writers", and their language styles are quite similar. English expressions with "Chinese characteristics" appear many times in their works. The culture with Chinese characteristics is also an unavoidable element in their works. However, Harkin and Amy Tan's background of growth and understanding of China are very different. This article will take their masterpieces, waiting for and Joy Luck Club as examples. This article is divided into five parts: the introduction briefly introduces Harkin. Tan Enmei's living background and their respective masterpieces-"waiting" and "Joy Luck Club", as well as the domestic and foreign research on their works and the research themes of this thesis. This chapter summarizes the linguistic features of Harkin and Amy Tan's works. Firstly, this chapter introduces the concept of "Chinese English" put forward by GE Chuani, a Chinese scholar. Some of Harkin and Tan's unique treatment of language falls into this category. It also discusses the linguistic characteristics of Lin Yutang, the forerunner of Chinese English, and the Indian writer Salman Rushdie. Chinese English can be classified into three categories: strangeness of common things. Tan En-mei will also defamiliarize ordinary things and translate proverbs. In addition, she uses Pinyin in many ways in the text. The author's special treatment of language is closely related to his own experience. Chapter two analyzes the background of Harkin's life. Indian English literature, especially diaspora literature, has become a major force in the literary world, and many mature theories have been developed in the process. This chapter first discusses the development of Indian English literature and the main points of view formed in the process, and expounds Harkin's hometown by contrast. Harkin believes that home refers only to the geographical space in which he lives, and that writing is a spiritual home, and he regards himself as a lonely author. The third chapter discusses Tan Enmei's growing up background and writing characteristics. Mother has a profound influence on Tan's creation, not only in the story, but also in the theme. It also includes the use of language. According to her mother, Amy Tan rewrote the material and formed her own unique style. Tan can also skillfully explain cultural differences in his writing, or use imagery, symbolism and other techniques to promote the integration of the two, which can be said to benefit from the influence of the background of growth. Although Harkin and Amy Tan belong to the same category of writers, and at first glance have quite similar writing style, but the two people's life background, creation theme and writing techniques are very different. However, it belongs to different generations, "Chinese sex" has different embodiment in the two people, and the "Chinese characteristic" in their writing is the foundation and charm of their works.
