英语谚语翻译过程中的概念整合

论文摘要

英语谚语是英美等国劳动人民经过长时间的使用而提炼出来的形式固定的短语或短句,也是西方人民在生产和生活中智慧结晶的体现。英语谚语的翻译一直备受关注,然而以往的英语谚语翻译研究很少以认知语言学这一新的视角为出发点,同时也缺乏对其翻译过程的研究。概念整合理论作为认知语言学中新兴的一个理论,自Fauconnier和Turner等人提出后,一直受到广泛的关注并得到广泛的应用。本文针对英语谚语翻译中翻译过程的研究易被忽略的现象,尝试运用概念整合理论为理论框架,以英语谚语为语料,对英语谚语的翻译过程进行解读。旨在为英语谚语翻译的认知过程提供一个框架模式,尝试验证概念整合理论对英语谚语翻译的阐释力,并通过三种主要的概念整合网络：框架网络,单边网络和双边网络,总结出概念整合网络框架下英语谚语的翻译策略,同时为研究英语谚语翻译,提供一个新的视角。概念整合理论与英语谚语翻译相结合,对概念整合理论在翻译实践中的应用进行探索,为英语谚语的翻译研究提供了一个新的视角。本研究不仅有利于概念整合理论自身的发展,而且对英语谚语的研究也有所帮助,为推进了认知语言学与翻译的跨学科研究提供参考。
