语境关系顺应视角下的文学翻译 ——以《边城》英译本为例

论文摘要

文学翻译是一种跨文化的交际行为,是原文作者与译文读者以译者为中介在两种不同语言之间进行的复杂的交际活动。对文学语言的理解在很大程度上依赖于具体的语境,因此文学翻译与语境密不可分。耶夫·维索尔伦的语用顺应论从认知、社会、文化的视角解释语言的使用。他提出的顺应论认为语言使用是一个不断选择和顺应的过程。所谓的“做出选择”可理解为三个不同等级的相关特性,即变异性、协商性和适应性。从适应性出发可以对以下四个方面进行研究:语境关系顺应,结构客体顺应,动态顺应和顺应过程的意识突显性。语境关系顺应是指语言使用过程中的选择必须与语境顺应。本文运用顺应论中的语境关系顺应作为理论基础,选用《边城》的英译本为蓝本,具体分析了在文学翻译中顺应语言语境和交际语境的具体实例。其中语言语境包括语境衔接、互文性和线性序列;交际语境则包括语言使用者、社交世界、心智世界和物理世界。从语境关系顺应的角度出发,本文论证了成功的译本是顺应目标语的语言语境和交际语境的结果,并且阐释了语境关系顺应对文学翻译实践的启示及指导作用。
