关联顺应视角下的口译过程

论文摘要

口译,作为一个新兴的研究领域,受到了国内外学者们的广泛关注。译者在动态交际过程中处于中间位置,确保使用不同语言的人们之间能够进行顺畅的交流。译者如何才能在口译过程中忠诚而不偏不倚地架起跨文化交际的桥梁?口译过程的复杂性困扰着众多的研究者,他们一直在试图探明在口译中译者的大脑里到底发生了什么。本文从关联—顺应模式的角度对口译过程进行了语用阐释。关联—顺应模式融合了Sperber和Wilson提出的关联理论和Verschueren最先提出并完善的顺应理论这两种颇具影响力的语用理论,是一种跨文化的、以译者为中心的新的理论范式。在该理论框架中,口译既是一个寻求关联、明示—推理的过程,又是一个动态顺应的过程。译者在原语认知环境中寻求最佳关联,在译语认知环境中做出动态顺应。在理解过程中,译者作为听众,担负着使用最佳关联原则推理说话者交际意图的责任。在产出过程中,译者做出相应的顺应,以确保在目的语中确切地传递说话者的意图。通过对译者的理解和产出过程的分析,详尽地阐述了关联—顺应模式在记者招待会口译中的运用。在理解和产出这两个过程中涉及到了包括词汇、句法和语篇的语言结构,和包括语言语境、心智世界、社交世界和物理世界在内的语境。译者在理解过程中寻求与原语的语言结构和语境的最佳关联,在产出过程中对目的语的语言结构和语境做出动态顺应。研究的重点在于通过对朱镕基总理和温家宝总理记者招待会中现场口译例子的分析,阐释译者在口译中寻求关联和动态顺应的口译过程,由此强调了译者在口译过程中所发挥的积极作用。
