从顺应论看曾译《荆棘鸟》的翻译

论文摘要

澳大利亚著名作家考琳·麦卡洛的长篇小说《荆棘鸟》自问世以后,不仅走红美国,与《教父》同为美国十大畅销书；而且迅速成为风靡全球的“国际畅销小说”,被称成为澳大利亚的《飘》。译者曾胡的汉译本现在最流行。目前,学者对《荆棘鸟》的研究大都是文学层面的,翻译方面的研究很少。一直还没有对这个作品从顺应论的角度进行全面系统的研究分析。顺应论是由比利时语用学家维索尔伦所提出的。语用顺应论指出,在言语交际中,受到语言内和语言外各种因素的影响,语言的使用是一个不断做出选择和顺应的过程,这种选择和顺应可能是有意识的也可能是无意识的。翻译作为两种不同语言和文化的一种交际活动,也是一个不断做出选择和顺应的过程,其目的是顺利实现两种不同语言和文化的移植。在语用顺应论的框架下,顺应性主要体现在四个方面：语境因素顺应,语言结构因素顺应,动态顺应过程和顺应过程中的意识突显程度。本文主要从这四个方面探讨译者曾胡在翻译《荆棘鸟》时所做出的选择和顺应：第一,在语境因素方面,对译语读者的物理世界、社交世界和心理世界的顺应；第二,在语言结构因素方面,译者对语言语音、词、句子、语篇、语体、各个层面的顺应；第三,在动态顺应方面,译者怎样根据语境的变化作出相应的语言选择；第四,在意识的突显方面,译者是怎样根据翻译目的、译语读者的元语用意识和反应等因素作出顺应的。本文在语用顺应论的框架下,研究曾胡对《荆棘鸟》的翻译,以探讨顺应论对翻译所具有的解释力。
