中国内地人与澳门人英汉翻译差异之比较

论文摘要

尽管澳门是中国的一部份,中国内地的文化与澳门的文化有不同之处,因此,中国内地的语言状况及澳门的语言状况不完全相同,有些学者认为澳门像不同语言的拼盘,而其他一些的学者认为澳门像一座语言的博物馆。中国内地使用的文字为简体字,而澳门则使用繁体字。中国内地大部份地方以普通话作为正式的汉语,但澳门则以广东话作为最普遍及主要的沟通语言,在某种程度上标准汉语及广东话的词汇、语义、句法结构及语用方面均有差异,中国内地人及澳门人的英汉翻译也一定会有差异。本论文的基本理论框架是雅格布森的符号学翻译理论。从符际翻译、语际翻译、语内翻译三个层面结合词汇、语义、句法意义和语用意义分析中国内地及澳门人的英汉翻译差异。与传统的翻译研究不同的是,传统的翻译研究常把英语与汉语比较、把普通话与广东话比较、把标准中文与港式中文比较,本论文尝试把传统研究延伸至对中国内地人及澳门人的英汉翻译的探究。差异并不一定是指错误,然而差异可能会引致不能理解或误解,为了避免以上提及的后果,译者必须使译本适合实际的读者,当他/她为中国内地的读者翻译的时候,应使用中国内地人能理解的用语;当他/她为澳门人翻译的时候,应采用澳门人能理解的用语。其次,中国内地与澳门对外来语、地方名称及电影名称等的用语则应统一。中国内地人使用现代汉语,澳门人的用语则更多地保留了古汉语的特点,随着澳门回归中国,中国内地人与澳门人使用的汉语的差异会逐渐减少。
