【摘要】 接受美学与哲学诠释学一脉相承,哲学诠释学主要涉及理解、意义、读者与文本之间的关系等内容,接受美学,作为当今一个重要的文学理论流派,也是以人的接受实践为依据,因而,诠释学与接受美学的结合,不仅为文学作品的翻译研究提供了新的空间和思路,还将对文学翻译的理论与实践产生极其重大的意义。根据接受美学理论,译者在处理文学翻译中的文化因素时应采用恰当的翻译方法并充分考虑到目的语读者的地位和作用,读者的视域也应受到译者的关注。本文以哲学诠释学为理论基础,阐述了接受美学的发展轨迹,对接受美学理论的解释力进行了论证,使其形成强有力的解释视角。接着,借助哲学诠释学和接受美学理论对翻译提出的要求,对余国藩和詹纳尔两位译者《西游记》诗中文化负载词的翻译进行了统计分析,在目的语读者的接受能力和译者所采取的翻译方法之间建立了一定的关联。通过对比研究发现,对于文化负载词翻译方法的选择应遵循一定的规律:分析生态文化负载词和物质文化负载词的视域范伟,并根据其视域范围选择恰当的翻译方法,即:零视域采用直译或音译,部分视域和全视域均采用替代翻译法;因社会文化负载词与其他文化有较大区别,故大部分为零视域或部分视域。在翻译此类文化负载词时,直译或意译皆为可取的翻译方法:翻译宗教文化负载词的最常用方法为直译和替代翻译法;应采用直译加注或直译的翻译方法翻译语言文化负载词。在对五类文化负载词的翻译方法进行总结和概括的基础上,本文还对已发现的误译现象提出了建设性的翻译建议。

【Abstract】 Reception Aesthetics and Philosophical Hermeneutics can be traced to the same origin. Hermeneutics is concerned mainly with interpretation, meaning, the relationship between target readers and the text and so on. Reception Aesthetics, as a significant literature theory school, is also based on the target readers’acceptability. Thus, the incorporation of these two theories not only provides new room and thinking for literary translation, but also exerts great significance towards both translation theory and practice. According to Reception Aesthetics, translators should take the target readers’role and status especially target readers’horizon into adequate consideration when they treat cultural elements in literary works. In order to achieve this aim, translators should adopt proper translation methods during the translating process.Based on Philosophical Hermeneutics, the thesis first expounds the trajectory of Reception Aesthetics itself; then, after a systemic demonstration and analysis, Reception Aesthetics has been proved to be a powerful tool to make a comprehensive analysis about translation. Under the guidance of Reception Aesthetics, a theory-based statistics has been designed to analyze the translation of culture-loaded words in the poems of Xiyouji, both in Anthony C. Yu and William John Francis Jenner’s translation versions, in a comprehensive and theory-based way. The analysis discloses that there are certain relevancies between readers" receptivity and the translators’choices of translation methods.By contrast research, the author discovers that there are certain rules to be observed when the culture-loaded words are translated:for ecological culture-loaded words and material culture-loaded words, the translators should analyze the horizon scope of these culture-loaded words. Then, they can choose appropriate translation methods to translation them:if they are zero horizon, the literal translation and transliteration methods will be employed; if they are partial horizon or full horizon, the best way to translate them is replacement translation method; because of the differences between different social cultures, the majority of social culture-loaded words belong to zero horizon or partial horizon. When translating this kind of words, the best choice is to select literal or liberal translation method; the recommendable translation method for religious culture-loaded words is literal translation and replacement translation; for linguistic culture-loaded words, the optimal translation method is literal translation or literal plus annotation translation. Based on the general analysis and summary of the translation methods for these five categories of culture-loaded words, the thesis also discovers some mistranslations in both Yu and Jenner’s translation versions and proposes suggestive translations for reference.
