Eileen Chang’s Self-Translation Practice ——From the Transformation of the Four Versions of Jin Suo Ji

论文摘要

自译指的是作者翻译自己作品的过程或者结果,波波维奇认为自译不是原文本的变体而是一种翻译.自译活动没有受到像翻译一样的重视,主要是因为学者们认为自译与具有双语能力的人有相同的特质。事实上从历史角度分析,自译者是不仅掌握了至少两种语言的作家,而且尝试用两种语言进行创作。与具有双语能力的人一样,自译者也需要在创作的过程中考虑在具体语境中的用词。本文结合对国内外双语作者的研究和张爱玲在《金锁记》的各个版本中运用的翻译策略探讨自译特征。由于目前国内外对自译活动的研究甚少,本文通过列举出自译与他译的区别来更深层次的探讨自译。。张爱玲曾是红极一时的著名女作家,尤其是在四十年代的上海。然而,鲜有读者知道张爱玲也是一位杰出的双语作家和译者,她不仅翻译别人的作品,而且翻译了自己的很多作品。《金锁记》是张爱玲的成名作,因此,在她迁居美国之后用二十八年时间四度改写和自译《金锁记》,本文通过研究其中的转换和翻译来探讨自译特征。
