关联理论视角下情景喜剧中幽默言语翻译的分析

论文摘要

幽默已经成为我们日常生活中必不可少的一种调剂,有关幽默的理论层出不穷。幽默言语具有很强的交际功能。在社会交往中,使用幽默言语可避免尴尬、冲突、及争吵。所以幽默言语的研究具有很大的实用价值。幽默言语研究是一门跨学科的课题,涉及面广。许多学者已从心理学、社会学等方面进行过广泛而深入的研究。近年来,语用学方面也对幽默言语的研究引起了重视。由Sperber与wilson提出的关联理论,作为一门阐释交际的语用学理论,也被用于对幽默言语的研究,并取得了一定的成果。如今,关联理论已经用于指导翻译实践。越来越多的外国影视作品开始进入中国,如何将英语影视剧成功译制,使中国的观众很好地欣赏成为当务之急。然而,关于影视翻译方面所作的专门研究也是薄弱的,也没有形成一套成熟、完善的理论。本文正是基于现有的幽默言语的研究成果,侧重情景喜剧中幽默言语的翻译,旨在进一步证明关联理论对翻译作品的解释力和指导作用,尤其是对幽默言语翻译的解释力,同时为幽默言语翻译的研究提供一个新的视角,以期能促进幽默言语的翻译和跨文化交际的发展。
