【摘要】 鉴于西方文化派翻译理论研究的出现和兴盛,人们对于传统意义上翻译的理解发生了巨大的转变。译界的“文化转向”使得国内外翻译研究者发现翻译不仅是一种语际行为,更主要的是一种跨文化交际行为。从文化角度来探讨翻译已经成为翻译理论研究的一个重要组成部分。由于文化的差异,译者在翻译时必然面临如何向目的语读者传达某种异质文化的问题。大量具有独特显著文化特征的说法——文化专有项,给跨文化交际带来了种种困难和障碍。基于以上原因,本文以文化意蕴深厚的《呐喊》小说集为依托,并选取《呐喊》两个最具代表性的英译本,即杨宪益&戴乃迭和威廉.莱尔的译本,对其文化专有项翻译进行分析。将《呐喊》中的中国文化专有项根据柯平的理论划分为四个不同的类别,并探讨了翻译补偿的合理性和可行性。通过对其两英译本中文化专有项翻译的对比分析,总结出具有普遍价值的翻译补偿策略,期望对其他文学作品翻译有所借鉴。同时提出,作为一名合格的译者,应既充分考虑源语的语言和文化因素,又能对目的语读者的接受能力有所把握,灵活运用补偿策略,以实现最大限度地保留原文风格,传播中国文化的目的。

【Abstract】 With the assurgent and flourishing of the western cultural translation theory, theunderstanding of translation in its traditional sense underwent great changes. Alongwith the increasing tendency of“cultural turn”in translation field, translation is nolonger considered as merely an interlingual activity, but an essential element ofintercultural communication. Translating from with a cultural perspective plays asignificant role in translation study. Due to cultural differences and peculiarities, it isinevitably for the translators to face the problem of how to accurately transmit aforeign culture to the target readers. Culture Specific Item is a term used to covereddistinctive connotation deeply rooted in national culture. These Culture Specific Itemsare often the major source of difficulties and obstacles to cross-culturalcommunication.Based on the reasons above, this thesis analyzes the translation of ChineseCultural Specific Items from Na Han, a novel endowed with rich and distinctivenational features. In order to reveal the translation strategies adopted by differenttranslators, Cultural Specific Items in Na Han are categorized into four groupsdivided by Ke Ping. Through the comparative study of the two versions of Englishtranslation of Chinese Specific Items, this thesis probes into and summarizes thefeasible and reasonable compensation strategies, which can be commonly used in the translation of other literary works. Meanwhile, I would like to points out that aqualified translator should not only fully consider the original linguistic and culturalelements, but also have a mastery of the reader’acceptability. One should applyflexible and manageable compensation strategies to keep the original flavor as muchas possible in order to bring out the hard-to-reach culture element.
