【副题名】Uncle Tom’s Cabin两中文译本研究

【摘要】 1852年,Uncle Tom’s Cabin在哈叶丽特·比彻的笔下应运而生。这部诞生于美国内战前夕的小说以黑奴汤姆的悲惨一生为主线,揭露了美国奴隶制的残暴与非人性。无论是小说的主题还是小说所处的特殊历史背景,都奠定了其在美国文学史乃至世界文学史上的重要地位。自Uncle Tom’s Cabin诞生之日起,小说就被译成多国文字,传于世界各地。在中国,Uncle Tom’s Cabin是第一本被译成中文的美国小说。它的首个中文译本于1901年由林纾执笔完成,是一份文言体的中文译本。五十年之后,小说被重译,由黄继忠担当译者,首本白话文体中文译本由此诞生。林、黄两个译本相距五十年之久,其各自所处的社会历史背景更是大相径庭。论文以Uncle Tom’s Cabin的林、黄两译本为例,从历时性角度对两个译本进行描述性的对比分析。本文共分为六个部分。引言部分,论文介绍了Uncle Tom’s Cabin诞生的历史背景及历史意义,并基于其在中国的多次重译提出本文的研究问题。第一章,论文系统阐述了研究过程中涉及到的三个理论要点,即重译、规约以及副文本信息。第二章,论文结合林、黄两份译本各自的副文本信息分析译本与其各自所处的社会历史背景的联系,探讨时代变迁对译本的历时性影响；第三章和第四章,论文以两个译本所处的社会历史背景为基,从规约的角度进一步分析林、黄两译本在语体和与原文忠实度方面风格迥异的原因,并从历时性的角度展现翻译规约在社会历史变迁中的动态变化。最后,论文得出结论,Uncle Tom’s Cabin在清末至20世纪50年代之间的翻译与重译活动既体现了重译现象的一般规律,又深受译本各自所处的社会历史环境影响,呈现出一定的特殊性；同时,社会历史变迁之下翻译规约亦发生变化,对相应时段内诞生的两份译本的具体翻译实践产生影响。更多还原

【Abstract】 In1852, Harriet Stowe completed the writing of Uncle Tom’s Cabin. The novel was published several years before the breakout of the American Civil War. It has given a vivid description of the miserable life of a black slave named Tom, which is the major plotline of the novel. One of the major themes of Uncle Tom’s Cabin is to uncover the cruelty and inhumanity of slavery. As mentioned above, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published in a specific historical period in the American history, and the fact that the novel aims to criticize the existence of slavery is of great political and social significance in the United States in the1850s. The historical and social significance embodied in Uncle Tom’s Cabin have won a place for itself as one of the most important novels in the American literatures as well as in the world literatures.Since Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published, it has been translated into several languages and introduced to the whole world. In China, Uncle Tom’s Cabin is the first American novel that has been translated into Chinese. The very first Chinese translated version was completed by Lin Shu and was published in1901. Lin Shu’s translation was a classical Chinese version. Five decades later, Uncle Tom’s Cabin was retranslated by Huang Jizhong. Huang Jizhong’s translation became the first vernacular Chinese version of the novel.The gap between Lin Shu’s translation and Huang Jizhong’s translation is over five decades. There is a vast difference in the social and historical background where each translated version was completed. The thesis aims to conduct a diachronic analysis of Lin Shu’s and Huang Jizhong’s translations of Uncle Tom’s Cabin and try to compare two versions in a descriptive way.This thesis consists of six parts. In the introduction part, the thesis introduces the novel and the historical background where Uncle Tom’s Cabin was published, and explores the social and historical significance of the novel. The research questions have also been put forward in the introduction part. In Chapter One, the thesis gives a detailed exploration of the three theoretical points that have been used in the comparative analysis of the two translated versions, i.e. retranslation, norms and paratext. In Chapter Two, through an exploration of the respective paratextual material of Lin Shu’s and Huang Jizhong’s translation of Uncle Tom’s Cabin, the thesis tries to analyze the connection between each version and their respective social and historical background and further to discuss the influence of historical changes on translation in a diachronic way. In Chapter Three and Chapter Four, based on the discussion of the social and historical background where each translated version was completed, the thesis aims to analyze the differences between Lin Shu’s and Huang Jizhong’s translation of Uncle Tom’s Cabin from the following two perspectives, i.e. why the two translated versions have used different types of Chinese in the translations and why the two translated versions have shown large differences in the level of faithfulness to the original novel. The argument in the field of norms will shed light on the exploration of the above two questions. Also, the dynamic shift of translation norms along with the social and historical changes is expected to be demonstrated from the above analysis. In the conclusion part, the thesis arrives at the conclusion that the translation and retranslation of Uncle Tom’s Cabin in China from the late Qing Dynasty to1950s can be partially explained by the translation hypothesis, which is the general principle to explain retranslation phenomena, but such translation and retranslation practices are also closely related to the specific social and historical background where each translated text appeared. What’s more, translation norms have shifted with the changes in the social and historical contexts, and such shift will influence the specific translation practices of two selected Chinese versions of Uncle Tom’s Cabin.更多还原
