【摘要】 翻译是人类最悠久的文化交流活动。翻译离不开语言的转换,但它不仅只是单纯的语言转换,因为语言反映文化,而且受文化制约。因此,要成功地进行语言转换,不但要掌握语言,而且要熟悉两种语言所代表的文化。翻译研究实际就是文化互动研究。自一九九零年由巴斯内特和安德烈·勒弗尔合编的《翻译·历史与文化》一书出版,他们第一次正式提出翻译研究“文化转向”的发展方向。从此开始了翻译研究的又一突破性进展。本文首先就文化与翻译的关系做了简要的探讨,然后较为全面地介绍了中外学者对翻译文化转向的研究。并指出了目前对此研究的广泛性与其深刻意义所在。之后,本文提出在文化转换研究背景下的翻译文本的文化解读研究,探讨了英汉两种语言中就语言层面出现的文化因素对翻译文本质量的影响。只有将这些文化因素做以具体的分类和比较研究,才能在文本的文化解读中成功地实现语言的转换,从而避免文化误读。最后,本文就文化解读的策略做了详尽的探讨,并根据纽马克的语义翻译和交际翻译两种翻译方法,提出了六点具体可行的文化解读方法,分别是:意译法、意译加说明法、冗余删除法、增加评论法、具体脚注法以及替代类比法。本文最后的结论是:在翻译的文化转向研究中,翻译过程与文化解读是密不可分的。文化解读策略只有运用于不同的译者,不同的社会文化,具体文本具体分析,文本的翻译才能达到最佳的文化传递效果。
【Abstract】 Translation is the centuries-old cultural and communicative activity. While it can never depart from transference of the language, translation is not only the simple transference, for the language reflects the culture and meanwhile is restricted by the culture. Therefore, to be successful in transferring, two things are necessary---mastering the language and being familiar with the culture represented both the two languages. Translation studies is as-a-matter-of-fact the cultural reciprocal study. Since the publication of Translation, History, and Culture written by Sussan Bassnett and AndréLefevere in 1990, they first formally put forward that translation studies take “cultural turn”, which marked a shift of emphasis. The thesis firstly devotes to the study of the relationship between culture and translation. And then it makes a review of the cultural turn in translation studies both in the West and at home, stressing the universality and profound significance on this research. Next, the thesis put forward that, under the background of cultural turn, the cultural interpretation of the translation text, which probes that the cultural factors represented in the language can deeply affect the quality of the translation text. The implication of these discussions is that, only with the concrete analysis and comparison of these cultural factors, a successful language transference can be achieved in the cultural interpretation of translation text and the misinterpretation would be avoided. In the end, the thesis probes into different strategies of the cultural interpretation in detail. According to Newmark’s two famous translation strategies---semantic translation and communicative translation, six strategies of the cultural interpretation are adopted here: conveying the connotation meaning merely; making addition within the text; leaving out the redundancy; making appropriate evaluation; making additional footnote; and substituting with a similar expression. To sum up, in the study of cultural turn, translation process is closely related to the cultural interpretation. And as long as those strategies are adopted by different translator within different social cultures and as long as a translator can apply them in definite concrete text, the textual interpretation can be achieved into a better version.
