中国古典诗歌文化误译的哲学阐释学解析

论文摘要

中国古典诗歌是中国传统文化宝库中的精华。它们不仅体现了词章之美和思维之美,更为重要的是,它们蕴含着十分丰富的文化内涵和文化价值。中国古典诗歌的翻译,在文化全球化的今天,对于中国传统文化的对外传播和全球文化的相互交流起着至关重要的作用。众所周知,诗歌写作很难,而诗歌翻译,尤其是将中国古典诗歌翻译成英语,更是难上加难。由于汉、英两种语言之间存在着差异,欲对中国古典诗歌进行信息完全对等的翻译几乎不可能,这对于不熟悉中国文化的外国译者来说更是如此。无论译者多么努力,重重的文化障碍还是让诗歌经翻译之后“走了样”,“变了味”。由此看来,文化误译在所难免。目前,翻译界对中国古典诗歌中的文化误译现象及其产生的原因缺乏更为系统、深入的研究,这有待热衷于诗歌翻译研究的学者做进一步努力探索,将其纳入自己的研究范畴。有鉴于此,本文将以迦达默尔的哲学阐释学为理论依据,解释剖析中国古典诗歌中各种文化误译所产生的原因。首先,本文对中国古典诗歌翻译以及翻译中存在的文化误译加以较为全面的分析归类,将文化误译划分为两大类别:无意误译和有意误译。随后,从阐释学寻求研究理论支持,于是在追溯阐释学的起源、发展和分析几位主要代表人物的不同思想的基础上,认定用迦达默尔哲学阐释学思想来解析文化误译产生的原因更为恰当,并借用迦达默尔思想中的几个重要概念来阐释古典诗歌各种文化误译产生的原因。最后,为使本文的观点更具说服力,文中列举出古典诗歌译本中所存在的各种各样文化误译,逐加分析论证。本文旨在解剖分析中国古典诗歌中文化误译现象及其产生的原因,希望能够对中国古典诗歌翻译研究尽绵薄之力。本文借用迦达默尔哲学阐释学中的几个概念对中国古典诗歌中误译形成的原因进行分析并得出:文本的开放性为文化误译的产生提供可能性;译者理解文本时,不能事先识别错误的偏见,从而误解文本原意,造成无意的文化误译;译者为缓和视域融合中产生的矛盾和冲突,满足自己及目的语读者的需要,不得不背叛原文,造成有意文化误译。上述分析和论证对中国古典诗歌的翻译研究具有一定的理论意义,对于中国传统文化的传播和全球文化的交流也具有一定的现实意义。
