从接受理论看李白诗歌的翻译

论文摘要

翻译研究的发展与文学批评理论的发展是密切相连的。如以译文的忠实为翻译目标的传统译论就是受“文本中心论”和“作者中心论”等传统文艺美学理论的影响,这种以文本和作者为中心的传统译论忽视了译文读者在翻译过程中的积极的、能动的参与作用和创造性作用。创立于20世纪60年代的接受理论首次把读者置于文学作品接受过程中的显著地位,强调了读者在文学作品意义生成中的重要作用。接受理论的发展,为翻译研究提供了全新的理论视角和研究方法。本文以接受理论为理论基础,从译者和译文读者的接受角度出发,对李白诗歌的翻译进行了探索性的分析,阐释了接受理论在其中所起的作用,指出不同文本的出现是基于译者对文本中未定点的不同的具体化和对译文读者接受的考虑。译者在翻译李诗过程中采取的翻译策略必须要考虑译文读者的期待视野及其接受问题以便译文读者能理解接受译文以实现译文的审美极,并就诗歌翻译中文化因素的处理从接受理论的角度提出了一些应对策略和技巧。本文共有六个章节。第一章是引言。第二章主要介绍接受理论的起源和发展历史及与本文相关的几个核心概念。第三章谈论了接受理论对文学翻译的借鉴作用和诗歌的可译性。第四章简要介绍了研究客体即李白诗歌的特点及其英译情况。第五章从接受理论角度讨论了李白诗歌的翻译并就如何处理诗歌翻译中文化因素提出了一些应对策略和技巧。第六章是结论。
