朱利安·豪斯翻译质量评估模型及其在《参考消息》英汉翻译中的应用

论文摘要

了解译文质量可以让译者获得应得的认可,帮助读者选择适合自己阅读的好译本,让翻译教师能够挑选出适合用于教学的译本,帮助翻译学习者选出值得模仿和学习的范本,因此,如果有这样一个模型,能告诉我们如何得知译本质量,则实为译界之幸,豪斯提出的翻译质量评估模型就满足这一要求。本文深入分析了豪斯的翻译质量评估模型,并用该模型评估了八篇从《参考消息》上随机挑选出来的不同时期的翻译文章的质量。通过对豪斯模型的分析,本文得出结论:该模型既有优点又有缺陷和不足。豪斯的翻译质量评估模型有充分的理论基础,而且非常全面,然而这个模型的实际应用过于耗时;同时,该模型的参数也有待进一步改进,有些参数存在相互重叠现象,而且该模型要求用于分析的文章具有完整性,具备各种语篇特征,因而其实际应用也受到了一些限制。此外,应用豪斯翻译质量评估模型分析《参考消息》译文发现,《参考消息》英汉译文中的确存在一些和原文不相匹配或错误之处,但是译文基本保留了原文的概念和人际功能,因而其翻译质量是令人满意的。
