【摘要】 “文化缺省”现象在文学作品中普遍存在,然而又不易被原文读者觉察。它可以提高作者和读者之间的交际效率,使作品具有简洁美和含蓄美,并给读者留下想象的空间,从而增强作品的美学效果,但是这一现象却给翻译带来了很大的困难。基于此,本文尝试探讨在翻译过程中对源语文本中“文化缺省”现象的处理方法。本文从“缺省”这一概念出发,探讨“文化缺省”的功能,“文化缺省”给翻译带来的困难及其对译者的要求。并结合《红楼梦》杨译本,把“文化缺省”的处理方法分为三种,即:直译法,显性补偿法,隐性补偿法,并对其各自的适应性和优缺点进行了总结。通过分析,本文得出以下结论:一“文化缺省”现象不可忽视,译者应对其进行相应的处理。二对源语文本中的“文化缺省”进行合理补偿有助于传播源语文化,丰富译入语文化。对“文化缺省”的处理受译者翻译目的及翻译策略的影响。三对“文化缺省”过度补偿会造成译文读者异域文化负载过重,从而带来阅读障碍。因此译者对“文化缺省”的处理应考虑读者的接受能力。四补偿并不能解决所有的“文化缺省”问题,在处理“文化缺省”的过程中,有些流失是不可避免的。更多还原

【Abstract】 The cultural default phenomenon is very common in literary works. It is transparent to the SL reader and thus it is not easy to be perceived. It can improve the communication efficiency between the author and his/her readers, bring concise and implicit beauty to the works, provide the readers with imagination space and thus enhance the aesthetic effect of the literary works. However, this phenomenon brings big challengess to translation. This paper will explore the ways to deal with cultural default phenomenon in translation.Beginning with defining cultural default, this paper explores its functions, the challenges it brings to translation and its requirements for the translator. Based on the case study of the Yangs’translation of Hongloumeng, the author sums up three methods to deal with cultural default, namely literal translation, explicit compensation and implicit compensation. In addition, the author analyses their respective advantages and disadvantages. By studying cultural default, the paper comes to the following conclusion:First, cultural default in the source text should be dealt with in one way or another in the translation process.Second, proper compensation for the SL cultural default is conducive to introducing the source language culture to the target language culture. The treatment of cultural default is decided by translation purpose and strategies.Third, overcompensation will make the TL reader heavily burdened with alien culture, so the translator should take the TL reader into consideration when dealing with cultural default.Fourth, as compensation can not solve all the cultural default problems, loss is inevitable in the translation process.更多还原
