《红楼梦》同辈亲属称谓语的翻译对比分析英语语言文学专业论文.docxVIP

万方数据 万方数据 摘要 《红楼梦》被誉为中国语言和文化的百科全书，集中描写了贾府这个 封建大家族由盛到衰的全过程。书中出场人物达几百名之多，人际关系复 杂，称谓众多，尤其是亲属称谓。从某种意义上讲，小说中的亲属称谓是 反映复杂人际关系、承载民族文化的重要语言符号。同时，《红楼梦》作为 中国古典文学名著之一，在国内外具有深远影响。在对外传译过程中，如 何有效传译原作中亲属称谓的文化内涵不能不引起译者以及翻译研究者足 够的重视。 本研究基于《红楼梦》及三个英译本（霍译、杨译、乔译），在前人研 究的基础上，概括总结出亲属称谓的文化值，通过定性与定量分析、实证 调查和翻译策略评析相结合的研究方法，以《红楼梦》同辈亲属称谓文化 值的转换程度为衡量标准，对比分析三个译者所采用的翻译策略，以及不 同策略对文化传播的影响和制约作用。 本文研究发现，《红楼梦》原文中“一称多指”现象突出。所研究的八 个同辈亲属称谓语不但用于称呼核心家庭成员，还用于称呼亲属和非亲属。 同一称谓语在不同人群中使用，就会有不同的文化内涵。三位译者均采用 语义翻译和交际翻译相结合的策略，不同程度地再现原语文化值。但三者 比较而言，乔译绝大多数采用了语义翻译，杨译次之，霍译则更倾向于交 际翻译。 语料库工具的应用以及在定量基础上进行定性的分析，使本研究弥补 了国内关于《红楼梦》亲属称谓翻译研究的不足，为其它典籍英译文化内 容的处理提供一些可借鉴的方法和思路。同时，本文也充分印证了纽马克 的语义翻译、交际翻译理论对评价文化负载词的翻译问题的可行性和有效 性。 关键词 《红楼梦》；同辈亲属称谓；文化值；语义翻译；交际翻译 Abstract Hong Lou Meng (or A Dream of Red Chamber) is regarded as an encyclopedia of both Chinese language and culture. It is a story mainly about the process of a feudal family going from prosperity to decline. A few hundred figures portrayed in the story reveal countless but complex interpersonal relationships with the employment of various addressing terms, especially kinship terms. From this perspective, the kinship terms in the novel have become important linguistic signs to reflect the complexity of human relationships and culture features of the time. As a masterpiece of Chinese classical literature, Hong Lou Meng has enjoyed enduring popularity and influence among people since its birth in the eighteenth century in the Qing Dynasty. Together with its multilingual translations, Hong Lou Meng has exerted a profound influence in literature and translation studies both home and abroad. Therefore, translators and translation researchers should pay enough attention to the effective transmission of Chinese cultural values. The data of this paper are the eight most frequently used peer kinship terms chosen from Hong Lou Meng (the first 56 chapters) and their corresponding English renditions in the three English versions, which are translated by H. Bencraft (1892-3), David Hawkes
