归化：新闻报道汉译英的主要策略

论文摘要

新闻是最新事实的报道。它在大众传媒中扮演着一个很重要的角色,即吸引读者的注意并向之传送正在发生的事件的信息。当今世界,国际交流日益紧密,中国需要了解世界,更需要让世界了解中国,要让世界及时了解中国,这就使得新闻报道英译尤为重要,而在新闻英语翻译领域,英译汉的研究尚不多见,而汉译英的研究则少之甚少。并且,新闻英译策略及其反映的深层次文化问题并未得到足够重视。本文以韦努蒂的翻译理论以及佐哈的多元系统论为基础,探讨新闻报道汉译英的翻译策略以及决定该策略的文化因素。由于新闻报道独特的文体特点与功能,以及我国目前的文化地位,决定了我国在新闻报道汉译英中应主要采取归化策略,以保证新闻报道的翻译质量和宣传效果。同时,在达到理想的宣传交流效果的前提下,也要适当运用异化策略,尽量传播中国文化,提高我国的文化地位及文化影响。全文共分六部分:引论、第一章、第二章、第三章、第四章与结论。第一章简要介绍了翻译的相关知识及汉译英的重要性。第二章说明英语新闻的文体特点与语言特征。(由于篇幅所限,对中文新闻文体不作详细叙述。)第三章介绍了翻译中的两大策略:归化和异化。第四章归纳了归化与异化在新闻报道汉译英中的辩证关系,强调了归化在新闻翻译中的主体地位。最后是结论部分。当然,随着社会的进步,新闻的发展,语言的变化和学者们对于翻译理论研究的不断深入,还有许多问题值得探讨。
