【摘要】 随着经济全球化的迅猛发展,地域、民族、语言的差别已无法阻挡跨文化交际的蓬勃发展,而这种交流又极大地增加了翻译工作的难度,对其效率和质量提出了更高的要求;另一方面,可喜的是,随着教育事业的发展,越来越多的普通受众有机会学习外语知识,具备了一定的外语听说能力,可以在没有翻译媒介的条件下理解一些简单的外语词汇、短语甚至俚语等,零翻译现象正是在这种时代背景中应运而生的,它既可以满足翻译实务飞增的需要,又以受众为对象,在保证传达源语信息的同时促进了语言与文化的融合。日常生活中,从国家领导人讲话到各种媒体用语,甚至到人们的口语交流中,越来越多的外来词汇以其原有形式或音译、补偿等变体形式汇入到了母语交流中,成为新鲜的血液。这些就是零翻译词汇。然而虽然在实践中使用广泛,但在理论领域,零翻译概念自引入之日起,一直饱受争议。关于零翻译究竟是什么,它的存在和发展是否会威胁到母语的纯洁性,翻译界学者多年来争论不休。本文主要以汉语和英语之间的零翻译现象为研究对象,以上述两个热点问题为切入点,对以往学者的研究成果进行分析和归纳,并在此基础上深入剖析零翻译概念的内涵、外延,明确其概念、技巧和适用领域,论证其对丰富母语语汇及促进文化融合的积极作用,进而否定零翻译是语言殖民现象的过激言论,力求对零翻译现象的存在予以理论上的肯定和支持,并对其发展情况作出预测。第一章引言首先简要介绍了本文研究的目的和意义、国内外研究现状、本文的主要内容和创新点以及文章的篇章结构。第二章通过对研究现状的归类整理,总结零翻译目前研究中的两个热点问题,即:(一)零翻译究竟是什么,如何对其进行概念定义和译法分类;(二)零翻译的广泛使用是否是对语言纯洁性的一种威胁,是否会构成潜在的语言殖民。第三章针对热点问题一,深入剖析零翻译概念的内涵和外延。揭示零翻译概念的内涵,即其本质为:零处理或微处理;而对其外延,即具体译法的总结将从零翻译的适用领域中进行归纳,找出具体译境中的具体译法。第四章针对热点问题二,探讨零翻译是否构成语言殖民。文化多元发展是全球化背景下文化发展的总趋势,零翻译策略是顺应这一趋势的,而语言殖民言论则潜藏着文化孤立主义的苗头。第五章系统阐述零翻译存在和发展的理据支撑,并从零翻译的积极作用入手,对其广泛使用予以肯定和支持;同时,作者也强调在翻译实践中对零翻译策略不可盲目使用,而应适度。第六章为结论,总结零翻译的概念、适用领域和具体译法,肯定其积极作用,在此基础上,展望零翻译的发展前景。以往对于零翻译的研究中,学者往往将零翻译放入翻译理论中一些已有的条条框框中去衡量,与一些既定的译法进行对比,从而寻求对零翻译的定位。翻译是扎根于实践的一种艺术,任何理论都要经过实践的检验。既然零翻译是在时代潮流的推动下先产生翻译实践,后产生理论研究的,那么,对它的界定就更应该从实践出发。本文在对零翻译这一概念进行分析时,针对其外延,即哪些译法可以被称为而且用做零翻译进行研究时,坚持从翻译实践出发,首先分析和总结零翻译现象在翻译实践中的适用领域,然后具体问题具体分析,研究在各个领域中零翻译可采取的具体译法,这样既避免了混杂,又为理论研究夯实了基础,这是本篇论文的创新点。更多还原

【Abstract】 With the continuous development of the trend of globalization in world economy, factors like areas, peoples and languages can no longer frustrate the intercultural communications. Language translation is thus been expected to satisty higher requirements on its efficiency and quality. Fortunately, as a result of the development of education, more and more people get the chance to learn foreign languages. They are able to understand some simple words, expressions or even slangs without a translator. This phenomenon is named as Zero Translation. It can fulfil the rapid growth of the demand for translation as well as ensure the information exchanges between different languages.Nowadays, more and more foreign words appear in public announcements, media reports and daily communications with their original forms or transliteration forms. These zero-translated words have already become members of our mother tongue vocabulary. Though being widely used in translation practices, zero translation is still a debatable concept in theoretical fields. There is no adequate acknowledgement and agreement on this new translation term. And its influences on the purity of the mother language has also been discussed.In this dissertation, the author just confines the study of zero translation to the translation between Chinese and English. The above two hot issues about zero translation are analysed in detail with a great support from the experiences of other scholars. Moreover, this dissertation attempts to get a clear definition of zero translation about its connotation and denotation, to justify its positive effects on enlarging the vocabulary of our mother language and enhance the intercultural communications and to expatiate that zero translation is not a tool of language colonization. The objective of this dissertation is to support zero translation theoretically and preview its bright future.Chapter One is introduction to the study background and research objectives, contents, methods and the author’s original ideas.Chapter Two involves the previous study of zero translation and draws two hot issues out of the arguments. Firstly, what is zero translation? How to define its concept and classify its translation procedures? Secondly, is zero translation a threat to the purity of the mother language? Is it a tool of language colonization? Chapter Three mainly concerns the first question and expatiates the connotation and denotation of the concept of zero translation. The connotation of zero translation is "zero" or skillful translation. The denotation of it is the proper translation procedures it takes in dealing with translation problems in different areas.Chapter Four mainly concerns the second question and discuss whether zero translation is a kind of language colonization. Nowadays, the diversification is the main trend of culture’s development. Zero translation is corresponding to the trend while the viewpoint of language colonization is a sort of culture isolationism.Chapter Five states the powerful reasons for zero translation’s emergence and development and the positive effects of it. But we should also be aware that in intercultural communication, zero translation should be used reasonably rather than blindly.Chapter Six serves as the conclusion. The concept of zero translation, its applications in different fields and the proper translation procedures are restated here to prove that zero translation will have a bright prospect.In the previous study of zero translation, scholars used to make comparisons between zero translation and other translation strategies in order to award a justifiable position for zero translation. However, based on translation practices, all the translation theories have to be examined by practice. To analyze the denotation of zero translation, that is, the translation procedures of zero translation, this dissertation sticks to the translation practices. It studies the applicable fields for zero translation first and then analyze the appropriate translation procedures in different areas. Only in this way can the theoretical study be clear and reasonable. This is the original idea of the author.更多还原
