《茶经》里的中庸思想及其翻译策略探讨
A Study on the Golden Mean in The Classic of Tea and Its Translation Strategies
【摘要】 《茶经》是中国茶典籍的代表作,蕴含于其中的中庸思想乃是儒家思想的核心,对中国茶文化有深刻影响。《茶经》的英译对传播和弘扬茶文化意义重大。本文运用文本分析法对《茶经》英译本所采取的翻译策略进行分析,发现《茶经》作为信息类文本,其语际互文转换多采用交际翻译策略;而涉及到文化因素的译介时,则语义翻译策略更可取。这进一步证实了纽马克"没有任何一篇文本翻译是纯粹的交际翻译或语义翻译,二者互为补充"的论断。也只有这样才能更好地传播茶文化典籍里的"中庸之道"思想。
【Abstract】 As the representative tea monograph,The Classic of Tea carries out the core thought of the Confucianism— the Golden Mean,which has a far-reaching impact on the transmission of the Chinese tea culture.The English translation of it is of great significance to the spreading of the traditional Chinese tea culture.By the textual analysis and the discussion of the translation approaches,this paper exemplifies the fact that communicative translation(CT) is adopted more frequently than semantic translation(ST) for the informative transferring in the interlingual translation.However,when it comes to culture conveyed in the original,ST is a better choice.This further confirms Newmark’ s theory that any translation activity is not exclusive;ST and CT methods should be used flexibly in the target language.The conclusion is that as a whole,CT and ST should be combined holistically so as to translate the Golden Mean more accurately and dynamically in the Chinese tea classics.
