马尔英译《聊斋志异》研究

论文摘要

《聊斋志异》是清代著名作家蒲松龄撰写的一部短篇小说集,享誉海内外。维克多·马尔和丹尼斯·马尔的英译本是其众多的译本中影响最大的之一。本文依据阐释学理论、功能翻译理论、归化与异化翻译理论,从语言和文化两个方面剖析马尔英译《聊斋志异》的得与失。阐释学派认为,译者自身知识的局限将导致翻译的失误；功能翻译理论认为,译者的翻译策略受其翻译目的及其社会经历的影响；归化与异化翻译理论学派,则追求翻译过程中两种策略运用的辨证统一。基于此,本文在例证的基础上指出,该译本的译者严谨地探究《聊斋志异》中晦涩的古文用语,但由于他们对中国文化及汉语句型表达的了解有限,其译文中难免会出现一些理解上的偏差与失误。从另一方面来看,译者在其特定翻译目的的指引下,全面考虑源语文本的特有风采及西方读者的接受能力,努力寻求忠实再现原文与充分尊重读者之间的平衡,以地道流畅的英文忠实表达了原文的意思。尽管如此,译本仍存在着错译、逐字翻译等不足之处。本文从宗教与中国民俗文化等角度剖析译文中的不足之处,并探讨采用归化与异化两种不同策略翻译宗教负载词的得与失。
