交际翻译理论指导下公示语的汉英翻译

论文摘要

随着全球化步伐的加快,中国与世界各国的交流不断增多,城市公共场所的公示语配上英语译文也已经成为普遍现象。在公共场所双语标识越来越多的同时,各种不规范的翻译甚至误译现象也不断出现,严重影响了我国的国际形象。为改善公共场所的汉英双语环境和人文环境,更好地服务于对外宣传与交流,提高公示语的翻译质量成为一项紧迫的任务。本文立足汉语公示语英译的现状,基于公示语定义、分类、功能和语言特征,例举的大量来自于期刊,书籍,论文和翻译网站的公示语,通过对英汉公示语的比较分析,找出公示语汉英翻译中存在的问题,并尝试把纽马克的交际翻译作为公示语汉英翻译的指导。通过研究发现汉语公示语英译的问题主要出现在拼写、语法和词汇的语言层面和汉语风格的英语、过于强硬的语气和误用不同文化内涵的表达的文化层面。纽马克认为采取何种翻译法取决于文本类型、受众身份和翻译目的三个因素。根据他的文本类型理论,公示语的文本可以分为表达型文本、信息型文本和呼唤型文本。在翻译过程中译者应分别遵循遵循作者、真实性和读者第一的原则。汉语公示语的英译应充分考虑到目的语读者的身份,用地道的措辞和表达实现跨文化交际的目的。在交际翻译理论的指导下本文提出了提高译者双语能力和责任感、尊重英语国家公示语表达习惯、注重公示语语用功能和美学特征等翻译建议。
