【摘要】： 傳統(tǒng)上,翻譯被看作是兩種語言間的轉(zhuǎn)換。近年來,越來越多的翻譯理論家和實踐者把它看作是一種文化交流行為,即它不僅是一種語言活動,更是一種文化交流。隨著文化研究的深入發(fā)展,西方的翻譯理論研究出現(xiàn)了文化轉(zhuǎn)向趨勢,中國的翻譯理論研究也適應(yīng)了這一趨勢,許多翻譯工作者在這方面已作了大量研究工作并取得了豐碩的成果。而林語堂先生早在二十世紀三十年代就把文化的因素納入翻譯的研究中了。 本論文主要探討了林語堂在二十世紀三十年代中英小品文的創(chuàng)作與翻譯問題。林語堂首先用英文寫作小品文,而后又親自將其翻譯成中文小品文。為什么林語堂先用英文創(chuàng)作小品文,同時選擇那些涉及中西文化的主題,這是本論文的研究重點。為了分析這個要點,作者對林語堂的文化觀和雙語寫作作了深入的研究。本研究還論述了林語堂是如何將其英文小品文翻譯成中文的。為了闡明這個要點,作者分析了林語堂的翻譯理論及其具體翻譯實踐。 林語堂的小品文創(chuàng)作集中體現(xiàn)了他的思想、見解及其特有的文化觀。十九世紀三十年代,是林語堂創(chuàng)作小品文的巔峰時期。人們通常所熟知的林語堂小品文都是漢語的,實際上這些中文小品文最初往往是以英文版的形式先刊登在《中國評論周報》上的,之后才以中文版在《論語》、《人間世》及《宇宙風(fēng)》等刊物上里登載出來。 林語堂之所以創(chuàng)作小品文,是與他特殊的成長環(huán)境、教育背景和生活經(jīng)歷所分不開的。他小品文的內(nèi)容也反映了中西文化的異同,所以我們在分析他的小品文時必須考慮他獨特的文化觀。林語堂用中英雙語寫作小品文,有一些必然的原因。首先,他具有豐富的知識和對中西文化深刻的理解;其次,對英語的熟練掌握使他能夠用地道的英文充分地向西方讀者傳達中國的文化;再次,他對生活的積極態(tài)度和特有的宗教信仰也是原因之一。 林語堂把英文小品文翻譯成中文,所遵循的翻譯原則和技巧是符合他自己的翻譯理論的。他的翻譯理論集中反映在他的一篇文章,即《論翻譯》中。在分析林語堂小品文英譯中的翻譯實踐時,我們可以看出作為譯者林語堂極力在原語、目的語和藝術(shù)三個方面取得平衡,以求在盡量忠實地傳達原語文本的信息和文字之美的同時,也能使譯文被目的語讀者所接受,達到忠實、通順、美的標(biāo)準。然而并不是每篇小品文的翻譯都是忠實于原文的。這就給我們的翻譯研究者提出了一個問題,即在處理忠實、通順與美這三條標(biāo)準的時候,怎樣去達到彼此的制約和平衡,以達到跨文化交際的目的。該研究結(jié)果對于研究林語堂以及他的翻譯理論和作品具有一定的啟發(fā)意義。
[Abstract]:Traditionally, translation is seen as a conversion between two languages. In recent years, more and more translation theorists and practitioners regard it as a kind of cultural exchange, that is, it is not only a language activity, but also a cultural exchange. With the further development of cultural studies, the Western translation theory research has a cultural turn trend, and the Chinese translation theory research has also adapted to this trend. Many translators have done a lot of research in this field and have achieved fruitful results. As early as the 1930 s, Lin Yutang incorporated cultural factors into the study of translation. This thesis mainly discusses Lin Yutang's creation and translation of Chinese and English essays in the 1930 s. Lin Yutang first wrote essays in English and then translated them into Chinese essays. Why Lin Yutang first use English to create essays, and choose those topics related to Chinese and Western culture, this is the focus of this paper. In order to analyze this point, the author makes an in-depth study of Lin Yutang's cultural view and bilingual writing. This study also discusses how Lin Yutang translated his English essay into Chinese. In order to clarify this point, the author analyzes Lin Yutang's translation theory and translation practice. Lin Yutang's essay creation embodies his thoughts, opinions and unique cultural views. The 1830 s was the peak of Lin Yutang's essay creation. Lin Yutang's essays are usually known in Chinese. In fact, they were originally published in the form of an English version of the Chinese Review Weekly, and then in the Chinese version of the Analects of Confucius. The Earth and the Universe Wind are published in journals. Lin Yutang's creation of essays is inseparable from his special growth environment, educational background and life experience. The contents of his essays also reflect the similarities and differences between Chinese and western cultures, so we must consider his unique cultural views when analyzing his essays. Lin Yutang writes essays in both Chinese and English for some inevitable reasons. First of all, he has rich knowledge and profound understanding of Chinese and Western culture, secondly, his proficiency in English enables him to convey Chinese culture to western readers fully in authentic English. Third, his positive attitude to life and his unique religious beliefs are also one of the reasons. Lin Yutang's translation of English essays into Chinese is based on his own translation theory. His translation theory is reflected in one of his articles, on Translation. In analyzing the translation practice of Lin Yutang's essays, we can see that as a translator, Lin Yutang tries to strike a balance between the source language, the target language and the art. In order to convey the message and the beauty of the original text faithfully, the target text can be accepted by the target language readers to meet the standards of faithfulness, smoothness and beauty. However, not every essay is translated faithfully to the original text. This raises a question for our translation researchers, that is, how to achieve mutual restriction and balance in dealing with the three standards of faithfulness, conformity and beauty, in order to achieve the purpose of intercultural communication. The results are instructive for Lin Yutang and his translation theories and works.
