功能主义视角下《水浒传》两个英译本的比较研究

论文摘要

德国功能翻译理论是颇具世界影响力的翻译理论,它打破了传统对等理论的束缚,把翻译视为有目的的跨文化交际活动,译者不再受到源语文本的局限。功能派翻译理论以目的论(skopos theory)为核心,被广泛地应用到应用文本翻译中。本文试图将该理论应用到文学翻译中,通过对赛珍珠(Pearl S. Buck)和沙博理(Sidney Shapiro)翻译的《水浒传》两个英译本的比较研究,分析译者的翻译目的以及实践中影响翻译的一些因素,从文本类型、标题、文化专属性和文学翻译中的功能主义等方面的翻译说明译者的翻译策略,最终阐明该理论对文学翻译的适用性。笔者希望通过本文的讨论,能够从功能翻译理论视角对文学翻译进行一些新的探讨。
