《白鹿原》中的民俗词汇翻译策略研究

论文摘要

跨文化翻译是近年来翻译界的热门话题,翻译不仅仅是语言的转换,更是文化的传递。文学翻译作为艺术创作,既要忠实原作的创作理念和手法,也要向读者介绍和传递源语中的文化异质成分。文化因素的翻译是翻译过程中的一个重要的障碍,尤其是词汇所负载的隐蔽文化。民俗文化词汇直接反映了该民族的特色文化,这类文化负载词的准确翻译对文化的传播起着关键性的作用。陈忠实的长篇小说《白鹿原》是以陕西关中平原的白鹿原作为故事的自然背景和叙述对象,描绘了这块聚族而居的坡源上白、鹿两姓家族的衣食住行、婚丧嫁娶祭祖求雨、驱鬼祛邪等世俗生活,反映了关中地区独具地域特色且积淀深厚的民俗文化。这些蕴含着丰富而深厚的民俗文化内涵都是凭借作品的语言尤其是词汇得以充分展现的。将跨文化交际与苏珊·巴斯奈特的文化翻译理论结合起来,本文提出了将异化和归化相结合、以异化为主归化为辅的翻译策略。根据跨文化交际学奠基人霍尔提出的文化理论将小说中的民俗词汇按显性文化词汇和隐蔽文化词汇进行了分类、文化解读和翻译,依据“异化为主,归化为辅,异化和归化相结合”的翻译策略,详细剖析了独具关中特色的民俗词汇的具体的翻译方法,以便更好地传递这些词汇中的文化内涵。通过相关参数分析和问卷调查,本文还对翻译策略的有效性进行了实证分析。依据跨文化交际的语言学研究路径,通过对《白鹿原》中民俗词汇的文化解读,实例翻译,从而使不同文化背景下的读者更好地了解了陕西关中平原的生活习俗,更好地实现了跨文化交流。
