记者招待会汉英口译中文化负载词的翻译策略的符号学分析

论文摘要

改革开放以来，中国与世界各国的交往日趋频繁。作为跨文化交际的重要手段以及我国与世界各国进行信息交流的重要平台，口译发挥着日益重要的作用。而在记者招待会口译中，经常出现的文化负载词如含有丰富文化信息的俗语、习语、谚语和诗句往往会令译员感到棘手，并增加其翻译的负担。因此，作者选择记者招待会汉译英口译中的文化负载词的翻译策略作为研究课题。本文以符号学作为理论基础，采用陈宏薇提出的“意义相符、功能相似”翻译标准作为文化负载词口译的指导原则。通过符号学角度的分析，作者对口译过程中所涉及的信息从语言、副语言和语言外三个层次做了多维度的细分。虽然口译中信息主要来源于语言符号，但副语言信息如强调、停顿及肢体语言和语言外信息如主题信息都传递着信息且影响译者的理解和表达。作者从三种符号意义：言内意义、指称意义和语用意义出发来分析文化负载词在口译中如何实现意义的传递和原有功能的近似实现，并在此基础上提出了六种口译策略。通过研究作者发现：首先，口译作为符号阐释过程，不仅涉及语言符号而且包含影响和塑造语言符号的副语言符号和语言外符号。其次，社会符号学翻译标准“意义相符、功能相似”虽然对口译也同样适用，但其包含的信息意义更广泛，更复杂。最后，论文中提出的六种口译策略对译员来说有一定的指导意义。
