《红楼梦》称谓语翻译的归化和异化 ——杨译霍译之比较

论文摘要

由于英汉称谓文化的巨大差异,在翻译称谓语时必然会遇到问题。而《红楼梦》称谓语的复杂以及其所代表的民族文化特征使得在翻译《红楼梦》称谓语的时候更是困难重重。本文从文化与翻译的角度,以目的理论为基础,探讨杨译本《红楼梦》和霍译本《红楼梦》中称谓语翻译的归化翻译策略与异化翻译策略。本文首先阐述了撰写本文的目的、采用的理论并简要介绍了各章节的主要内容。第二章对称谓语进行概述,包括称谓语的含义、分类、称谓语翻译的研究状况以及一般采用的原则和方法。第三章回顾了归化和异化之争的起源和发展以及支持两者的理论依据。这一争论由来已久,反映了译者在翻译过程中对文化因素所持的态度。接着分析《红楼梦》称谓语的民族文化特色从而从引出在处理这些翻译难点时是考虑源语文化多一些,还是考虑目的语文化多一些。最后从目的理论角度出发讨论杨宪益和霍克斯翻译《红楼梦》的不同目的倾向以及因此产生的不同翻译策略,即归化和异化,从语言层面上说也就是直译和意译。第四章以两译本为蓝本,通过列举大量的实例和比对分析杨、霍在归化和异化策略上的选择,反映两者不同的翻译方法及其所折射的两者的不同翻译目的。
