从译者主体性视角对比分析《红楼梦》英译本中文化负载词的翻译-英语语言文学专业论文.docxVIP

摘 要 在传统翻译观中，译者的主体性长期被忽视或边缘化。随着现代翻译理论的 发展，尤其是翻译研究中的文化转向，使译者在翻译过程中的重要性得到突显， 从选择文本、解读原文、决定翻译策略、到再现原文的艺术价值与文化内涵，译 者主体性发挥了极其重要的作用。因此，译者主体性成为了当今翻译研究中的热 点话题。 作为中国文学史上的一块瑰宝，《红楼梦》凭借出众的艺术与文化价值，得到 众多翻译者的青睐。目前公认最优秀的《红楼梦》英译本是英国学者戴维·霍克 斯及其女婿约翰·闵福德翻译的The Story of the Stone 以及中国学者杨宪益 及其妻子戴乃迭翻译的 A Dream of Red Mansions。关于两个译本的对比研究 不胜枚举，然而从译者主体性视角进行的对比研究则相对较少。文化负载词是《红 楼梦》文化价值的一大体现，其中所蕴含的文化信息有利于外国读者了解中国的 传统文化，但是巨大的语言与文化差异使得如何再现这些词语的文化内涵变得困 难。如何发挥自身的主体性作用，以及准确再现文化负载词的文化内涵将成为译 者在《红楼梦》翻译中的所面对的一大问题。 因此本文将通过对比研究“霍译本”与“杨译本”中文化负载词的翻译：一、 探讨译者在文学翻译过程中如何发挥自身主体性；二、 分析文学翻译中译者主体 性与文化内涵再现的联系；三、研究译者文化倾向、意识形态、翻译思想等主体 性因素如何体现于翻译过程中。 关键词：译者主体性，《红楼梦》，文化负载词 Abstract In traditional translation studies, translators subjectivity has long been neglected and placed in a marginal position. Due to the development of modern translation theories and the cultural turn in particular, these changes highlight the role of translators subjectivity in selecting and interpreting the original texts, determining the translation approaches, and reproducing the artistic effect and cultural connotation of the original works, and thus it has arouseed an academic concern in translation studies. As a literary treasure of China, Hong Lou Meng has been deeply appreciated by the translators because of its splendid artistic and cultural values. Hong Lou Meng has numerous English versions, among which only two complete English versions of Hong Long Meng are widely recognized as the best ones. They are The Story of the Stone, translated by David Hawks and his son-in-law John Minford, and A Dream of Red Mansions, translated by Yang Xianyi and his wife Gladys Yang. The academic studies on the two English versions are too numerous to enumerate. But there are few specialized comparative studies on the two English versions from the perspective of translators subjectivity. The culture-loaded word is regarded as a sign of the great cultural value of Hong Lou Meng. The cultural connotation behind culture-loaded words can help the foreign rea
