文化资本视角下《三国演义》罗译本翻译策略研究

论文摘要

近二十年来,翻译学研究逐渐超越语言学派的研究视野,开始向较为宏观的研究语境拓展,这为反思翻译的文化因素乃至社会因素开辟了空间。文化社会语境不仅制约着译者对源语文本的选择而且也极大地影响译语文本的生产与接受。本文作者选取美国汉学家罗幕士翻译的《三国演义》英译本来分析文化资本与翻译策略的辩证关系。同时,通过借鉴翻译中的补偿理论的研究成果,本文作者试图探索翻译中有利于文化资本保留的异化最优化模式。这将为《三国演义》的英译研究注入新的元素,拓宽其研究领域。本文研究发现:罗幕士在翻译《三国演义》时主要应用异化的翻译策略,最大限度地忠实原著,致力于再现原著的真实面貌,客观上促进了源语文化资本的保留。同时,对于异化策略可能的局限性,罗幕士有意识地运用各种补偿手段,充分发挥了异化策略对于文化资本保留和传递上的作用。
