从跨文化交际的角度看霍克斯《红楼梦》译本中的习语翻译

论文摘要

本文从跨文化交际的角度,以文化共性与个性对习语翻译的影响为视角,对中国古典名著《红楼梦》中习语的翻译进行研究。以两个全译本之一的霍克斯译本前八十回的习语翻译为研究对象,本文选择的习语为比喻性较强的俗语、歇后语、熟语以及蕴含文化意义的四字成语。通过对霍克斯翻译的方法的分析,总结出霍克斯采用的翻译方法有:直译法,兼用直译和意译法,直译加解释法,意象部分保存法,创造翻译法,套译法,意译法共七种。其中前五种方法属于异化倾向翻译策略,后两种为归化策略的具体表现。在进行调查的167个习语中,四分之三的习语为异化倾向,四分之一为归化倾向,这一调查证明了霍克斯在习语翻译主要采用异化翻译策略;这一策略取向与霍克斯在《红楼梦》全文翻译中所表现的主流倾向是截然相反的。另一个有趣的发现是,在霍克斯采用异化翻译的某些习语,以异化翻译为整体策略的译者杨宪益夫妇却采用了归化策略。针对霍克斯在习语翻译中主要策略取向与他的全书翻译策略取向的冲突以及与杨译本出现巨大反差的事实,本文作者从跨文化交际中文化的共通性及独特性角度对其进行分析,认为文化交流是翻译的本质属性:译者在文学翻译中总会将异域的文化带入本土文化,而一个文化对于异域文化的接受是有一个“度”的问题,这个度将会影响到译者的翻译策略和方法。
