论“通顺”为感官动词翻译的主导策略
On “fluency” as the translation strategy prior to “faithfulness”
【摘要】 本文讨论了英汉互译中感官动词的处理和使用,发现感官动词的翻译分为对应转换和非对应转换两类。人类认知的共性给对应转换提供了基础,而思维方式的差异导致体现写作通顺的语用方式存在差异,并催生了翻译中的非对应转换即通顺但不忠实的翻译。由于本研究发现非对应转换的比例比对应转换的比例高,因而,根据本文考察的中外名家译作来看,忠实翻译并不是译家的第一追求,通顺更表现为译家的首要目标。这说明,主导西方300多年翻译实践的"通顺"翻译策略,在中国就英汉互译而言,也起着主导作用。
【Abstract】 This research studies the C-E and E-C translation of perception verbs,and finds that the translations fall into two types:corresponding and non-corresponding.The commonalities of human cognition provide the basis for the corresponding or faithful translation,while the differences between the Chinese and English pragmatic approaches to the fluency of writing,conditioned by the difference between the Chinese and English thinking modes,give rise to the non-corresponding or unfaithful translation.Since the non-corresponding account for a higher proportion than the corresponding in the translations of prominent translators,it can be safely concluded that to be fluent is the first choice for translators rather than to be faithful.This conclusion demonstrates that "fluency"is the most important quality in the context of E-C and C-E translations just as observed by Lawrence Venuti in the Westerners’ over-300-year-long practices.
