从改写与多元系统视角论儿童文学的复译 ——以《快乐王子》中译本的对比研究为例

论文摘要

佐哈尔认为各种符号现象都是由相关的元素组成的一个异质的、开放的多元系统,各系统的地位并不平等,有的处于系统的中心,有的处于系统的边缘位置,从而导致译者的任务各不相同。勒弗菲尔继而提出影响译者执行翻译任务的两个主要因素,即译者的意识形态和诗学因素。他认为翻译是对原作的改写,深受政治、经济和文化等各个层面的限制。这不仅仅是语言层次上的转换,更是译者对原作所进行的文化层面上的改写。儿童文学,作为文学多元系统的一个不可缺少的组成部分,在文学翻译中长期处于被忽视的边缘地位。晚清时期,中国儿童文学开始萌牙;五四时期,儿童文学第一次从文学大系统中分离出来,自成一系;改革开放新时期,儿童文学观念更是经历质的飞跃,具体区分三个不同层次,并具有各自的审美特征和艺术使命。可见,意识形态及诗学因素在不断进步,儿童文学在系统中的地位不断演变。这必将推动译著的更新换代。奥斯卡·王尔德的《快乐王子》是最早介绍到中国的外国童话之一。这篇作品的翻译贯穿了从晚清到改革开放以来的近100年时间,正值儿童文学翻译从边缘化向非边缘化过渡的探索时期,本文将选取贯穿这100年间的三个改写本,探讨其改写是否在不断进步,从而论证复译的必要与否。最后,本文得出以下结论:随着时代的发展,《快乐王子》重译本不断产生,其中所呈现的儿童文学意识不断增强,这些都不是译者主体操纵的偶然结果,而是意识形态和社会诗学因素作用下,儿童文学地位不断变化的必然结果。
