译者的语言态度与翻译策略

论文摘要

翻译不仅仅是语言转换的技巧,而是与文化和人息息相关的。译者在翻译过程中起着决定性的作用。本文着眼于译者的因素并分析其对翻译的影响,希望能为此领域的翻译研究提供新的见解。 在描述性翻译研究的指引下,本文探讨的并不是“怎么译”,而是试图回答“为什么这么译”的问题。本文认为译者的语言态度是影响翻译策略的因素之一。译者不同的语言态度会影响到其对翻译策略的选择。归化反映了译者较为保守的语言态度,而异化则是较为开放的语言态度的产物。 本文由五部分组成。前言指出了译者的重要性并回顾了对译者研究的背景情况。第一章介绍了本文的目的、范围和研究方法。第二章指出了译者在翻译过程中的主体性,其主体性尤其在同时代不同倾向的翻译中展现出来,规范和意识形态不能解释一切翻译现象,中国的译者并不都是历史文化操纵的傀儡,他们是有个体性和主观能动性的人,只有译者才能对翻译产生直接影响。第三章界定了译者的语言态度,他们的语言态度来自于对本族语的责任心。第四章阐述了译者的语言态度和翻译策略之间的必然联系。从很多中国著名翻译家的话语和翻译作品中可以看出,语言态度导致了译者会运用具有不同特点的语言进行翻译。引入新的表达法和保证汉语的纯洁性的斗争会促使译者采用不同的翻译策略——异化和归化。最后,本文指出,我们应关注译者,对译者的研究还应继续深入下去。
