《哈利波特与魔法石》中英日版本复合句翻译比较研究

论文摘要

《哈利·波特》系列小说畅销全世界,不少专家和学者对其进行了相关研究,其中包括对各语言译本的研究。《哈利·波特》的读者中包括许多非英语母语的读者,他们主要阅读的是其各语言译本。因此,《哈利·波特》的畅销除了作品本身和商业宣传等原因,翻译的作用也功不可没。本文从六十多种语言译本中选取了《哈利·波特与魔法石》的中文和日文译本为例与英文原版进行比较研究。选用的三个版本分别为：美国Scholastic Inc出版的《Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone》、人民文学出版社出版的《哈利·波特与魔法石》和日本静山社出版的《ハリ一ポツタ一と賢者の石》。本文主要着眼于以其中的复杂句,总结了译者对不同类型复杂句的翻译方法,同时对中英日复杂句进行比较,并在此基础上以“忠实、通顺”为翻译标准对译本进行了比较分析和评论。论文分为六个部分：背景介绍及研究方法、文献综述、中英日复杂句简介、《哈利·波特与魔法石》复杂句统计及翻译方法小结、中英日复句对比及《哈利·波特与魔法石》复杂句翻译评论、总结。翻译评论主要依照张培基著《英汉翻译教程》中忠实与通顺的翻译标准。本文总结了中日译本对各类复杂句的主要翻译方法,对中英日复杂句的异同,尤其是三语重量趋势和句序进行了比较,并在此基础上对译本中有违忠实、通顺之处进行了分析,以期对译本和复杂句的分析与比较有助于开拓翻译思路和翻译实践。
