阐释学视角下的文化词翻译

论文摘要

阐释学是一门关于意义的理解和解释的学科和方法论,它所关心的问题对翻译研究也产生了深远的影响。而文化负载词作为一种特殊的文化现象,对理解和解释的准确性和有效性都提出了新的要求。因此,将阐释学和文化负载词的翻译研究结合有着不容忽视的理论和实践意义。本文在前人研究的基础上,针对文化负载词的特点,借助了阐释学相关理论作为理论基础,提出了一个阐释学视角下的文化负载词的翻译模式,即由“最佳平衡”,“适当的补偿”和“有效的反应”组成的“三维翻译模式”。基于以上三个因素之间的关系,本文提出了阐释学视角下的翻译模式设想:最佳平衡是翻译指导方针,适当补偿是翻译策略,有效反应是事后检验。本文针对提出的研究问题,通过运用三维翻译模式,对古典巨著《三国演义》中两个译本中文化负载词的翻译特色与翻译风格进行了分析和比较,初步验证了该模式的可行性。本文通过定性讨论,得出初步结论,即三维翻译模式的综合运用,使文化负载词的翻译更加谨慎,全面和有效。笔者希望该翻译模式对文化负载词的翻译实践和翻译教学能有一定的指导作用。
