A Study of Mr.Ying Ruocheng’s Translation of Common Sayings in Drama Uncle Doggie’s Nirvana From the Perspective of Dynamic Equivalence Theory

论文摘要

本论文主要运用动态对等理论来分析英若诚先生所译《狗儿爷涅槃》中俗语的翻译。话剧翻译在一定程度上不同于其他文体的翻译。话剧的主要目的是在观众面前表演,它的语言一方面必须易于为观众理解,另一方面又要口语化,易于演员表演。因此,具有一定文化特殊性的俗语就为话剧的翻译带来了不小的困难。当然也就更值得我们对其进行研究。尤金·A·奈达提出了著名的动态对等理论。动态对等理论强调观众的反应,因此在翻译中追求表达上的自然,效果上的对等,这与话剧翻译在根本上是一致的,因为如果话剧译本表达上不自然,则演员无法上口,观众也很难立即体会和欣赏其中的妙处。牵涉文化层面的翻译往往比较棘手,尤其是在话剧翻译中。忽视表达的自然和意义的传达而过于保留原文的形式是不可取的,因为这很难给观众留下深刻的印象,因而动态对等理论为话剧中具有文化特殊性的俗语的翻译提供了一条很好的出路。本论文由五部分组成。第一部分为简要介绍;第二部分陈述了话剧的特点及国内外的话剧翻译理论;第三部分论述了奈达的动态对等理论;第四部分详细分析了《狗儿爷涅槃》中俗语的翻译:第五部分为结论部分。
