从翻译的文化转向看《时尚女魔头》之异化翻译

论文摘要

翻译研究自20世纪90年代开始文化转向以来,在短短的十几年时间里已经取得了长足的发展,为翻译研究开辟了新的研究思路,丰富了研究范围。文化转向把研究目标从纯语言层面扩展到政治、社会、文化等层面,人们开始关注影响翻译过程的诸多外在及内在因素。文化转向的提出使人们的视线从语言研究转向社会文化研究,甚至有时过于夸大这种社会文化因素在翻译研究中的重要性,所以当前很多学者呼吁翻译的本体回归,即归还翻译研究的本来面目。本文认为,文化转向不失为翻译研究的一条新路,可从另一个角度审视翻译作品。文化转向与翻译的本体研究并不矛盾,而且还可从文化角度分析翻译的本体研究。本文选定四个文化因素,即社会背景、外语知识、读者人群和译者自主权,从这四个方面分析近年来逐渐受到国内外关注的异化翻译方法。《时尚女魔头》是2003年的美国畅销小说,2005年译入中文,2007年再版,受好莱坞同名电影上映的影响,中文再版后销量猛增。目前,国内尚未出现系统评论其翻译方法的文章。本文从文化翻译观的角度,评析影响《时尚女魔头》中异化翻译的文化因素及异化翻译的优点。最后,指出使用异化法时应该避免“伪异化”现象。
