【摘要】 在国际交流日益频繁的今天,翻译工作尤为重要,而翻译质量评估则具有特殊的研究意义。翻译质量评估及其模式的研究可以加强规范翻译行为,提高翻译及译评的质量和译者培训的效率。本文旨在通过将德国学者朱莉安·豪斯的翻译质量评估模式引入英汉互译领域,对该模式的基本理论、构建以及基本概念进行介绍并探讨其在英汉互译中应用的有效性。论文首先介绍并分析了一些翻译质量评估方法,如主观随感论,面向反应论和文本中心论。主观随感论注重译者的知识水平,直觉和主观鉴赏力的作用,不赞成建立翻译质量评估的通用原则,这种方法其实是主观的,反理论的。面向反应论虽然分析了译者与读者,原作与译文之间的关系,但其中的一些翻译质量评估标准,如交际过程中的普遍有效性,作品意图的理解等显得空泛,难以明确界定、证实。文本中心论的几种形式也都有各自的弊端。豪斯的翻译质量评估模式建立在文本功能与语用理论基础之上。这种模式的操作是用一组情景层面先分析原文的语言特点,建立语言与情景上的联系来突显文本功能,然后将这一功能作为译文质量的评估标准。质量参数就是原文与译文在语篇特征和文本功能上的对等程度。之后会做出翻译质量评估陈述,其中要列出与语言使用者和语言使用相关联的语用失误,原文及译文语言成分在指称意义上的运用失误,以及译文在目的语系统中的各种误用。为了证实该模式的可行性和实用性,论文选用《汤姆叔叔的小屋》以及《红楼梦》中的几段节选及其译文,使用豪斯的翻译质量评估模式对翻译进行质量评估,最终得出了令人信服的质量评估报告。通过案例分析,作者认为该模式具有操作性强,评估客观,分析合理、细致等优点;但也存在参数设置不够合理,评估模式过于繁琐等缺陷。总体来说,豪斯翻译质量评估模式在英汉互译中切实可行,在与实践的结合中也会不断完善。更多还原

【Abstract】 In an age when international exchange is ever increasing, the importance of translation is noticeable. The research on translation quality assessment and its models helps improve translation behavior, enhance the level of translation quality, and promote the efficiency of translator training. The thesis sets out to bring Juliane House’s model for Translation Quality Assessment into the field of CE and EC translation, introduce the model’s theoretical bases, formulation and structure, and evaluate the effectiveness of the model in EC and CE translation practice.The paper firstly introduces and analyzes several approaches to Translation Quality Assessment, namely, anecdotal and subjective approaches, response-oriented approaches, and text-based approaches. Anecdotal and subjective approaches for TQA value the translators’personal knowledge, intuitions and artistic preferences, which is in nature subjective and atheoretical. Response-oriented approaches focus on the relationship between translator and reader, and the relationship between the original and the translation. But some criteria in the approaches such as criteria of the communicative process, comprehension of intent, and equivalence of response are somehow vague and unverifiable. The three forms of text-based approaches have their respective defects and disadvantages as well.The TQA model proposed by House is based on functions of text and pragmatic theories. The operation of House’s model means an analysis of the original based on a set of situational dimensions. The resulting textual profile of the original determines original text’s function, which is taken as the norm used to measure a translation. How the textual profile and function of the translation match the profile and function of the original determines the degree to which the translation is equivalent to the original. In the last step, a qualitative judgment of the translation is made. The judgment is composed by two types of errors, including dimensional mismatches and non-dimensional mismatches, and by a statement of the match of the two functional components.The paper then conducts a case study to examine the effectiveness of House’s model for TQA in the EC and CE translation practice. The materials for analysis are extracts from Uncle Tom’s Cabin and Dream of the Red Chamber and their translations by different translators. The result is quite satisfactory as an objective and convincing statement can be achieved by applying the model. House’s model is practical in its operation for translation involving Chinese. However, this model also has certain defects such as, the operation of the model is a little cumbersome and some of the subcategories are overlapping. The model can be successfully applied to EC and CE translation and will develop with its better combination with practice.更多还原
