基于顺应论的庞德英译《华夏集》研究

论文摘要

作为20世纪英美文学界最具影响力的人物之一,埃兹拉·庞德是一位著名的诗人;同时,他也是一位杰出的翻译家。在他众多的翻译作品最负盛名的则是由19首诗组成的《华夏集》。在本文中,作者旨在用杰夫·维索尔伦的顺应论来分析《华夏集》中的翻译,并得出结论:顺应论对庞德的翻译作品具有很好的解释作用。第一章扼要地介绍了此论文的主题和主要结构。第二章给出了此文的理论基础,即源于《语用学新解》的维索尔论的顺应论。在此书中,维索尔论认为语言使用是一个不断做出选择的过程,包括语言内和语言外的选择,且这些选择有不同的意识程度。顺应论的三要素是变异性、协商性、顺应性。论证顺应论对翻译的解释和指导能力,需从语用调查的四个方面出发:语境关系顺应、语言结构顺应、动态顺应和顺应过程中的意识程度。第三章探讨了顺应论在翻译实践中的指导作用。通过大量的例证,本论文从顺应论的四个方面着手,印证了顺应论在翻译实践中的可应用性。接下来第四章介绍了论文的主要研究对象埃兹拉·庞德。主要介绍其生平,翻译经历和作品,并从《华夏集》中概括出他的翻译理论和策略。作为论文的主要部分,第五章从顺应论的不同角度和层次着手,并通过大量例证,对庞德《华夏集》从语境、韵律、风格及其他方面进行了具体的研究。通过对这些实例的分析,证明了使用顺应论来分析《华夏集》的可行性。在最后一章,作者得出结论:通过运用顺应论对庞德《华夏集》的分析,证明顺应论不仅为庞德的翻译实践及其翻译策略提供了理论依据,也说明顺应理论对翻译实践具有一定的指导意义。
