【摘要】 《喜福会》是著名华裔美国女作家谭恩美女士的代表作,小说于1989年一问世便受到了读者的广泛欢迎,一度登上美国各大图书榜单,还被成功改编成电影,获得奥斯卡提名。作为一部富于中华文化特色的成功作品,《喜福会》的汉语译本因而引起了学界的广泛关注。在国内,先后出现过六个汉译版本,其中最先翻译此书的著名海派女作家程乃珊女士,于2006年经上海译文出版社出版了重译本。本文就是以该译本为研究对象。本文以胡庚申教授于2001年首次提出的翻译适应选择论为理论基础,以举例分析的形式研究了程乃珊女士的2006年《喜福会》汉译本。与以往多数以翻译适应选择论为基础的研究不同,本文旨在通过研究该译本集中于语言、文化、交际“三维”之间的转换,探讨其整合适应选择度。在该理论中,翻译被定义为“译者适应翻译生态环境的选择活动”。与“语境”相比,“翻译生态环境”的概念更全面,是制约译者最佳适应和优化选择的多种因素的集合,是一个包括语言、交际、文化、社会以及作者、读者、委托者等因素的整体。在翻译过程中,译者需要做出多维度的适应性选择和选择性适应,主要是集中于语言、文化、交际“三维”之间的转换。最佳翻译是“整合适应选择度”最高的翻译。语言维上,本文主要分析了《喜福会》中罗马拼音、首字母缩略词、歌词等具有特殊语言形式的部分的汉译;文化维上,本文主要分析了成语、谚语等富于中华文化特色的部分的汉译;交际维上,本文主要分析了美国商标、美国电影名等影响中西跨文化交际的部分的汉译。研究发现:语言、文化、交际是翻译过程中最不容忽视的三个维度,程乃珊的2006年汉译本在充分理解原文的基础上,采取了恰当的翻译策略来进行语言、文化和交际“三维”之间的转换,从而适应了整个翻译生态环境,向译入语读者呈现了一部高整合适应选择度的译文。

【Abstract】 The Joy Luck Club is a piece of magnum opus of Amy Tan, a famous Chinese-American woman writer.As soon as published in1989, this novel has become broadly welcomed by readers, and the top-seller infamous best-sellers of America. And the film adapted from this novel was nominated by Oscar in1994. Asa successful literary work full of Chinese features, The Joy Luck Club’s Chinese translation has arousedextensive attention in the academic field. In China, there are six versions of its Chinese translationaltogether. Cheng Naishan, who was a famous Shanghai woman writer, was the first one who translates thisnovel. And in the year of2006, Mrs. Cheng’s re-translation of this novel was published by ShanghaiTranslation Publishing House. This Chinese version is the research object of this thesis.The theoretical basis of this thesis is the approach to translation as adaptation and selection, putforward by Professor Hu Gengshen in2001. In the form of case study, this thesis has made a research onMrs. Cheng Naishan’s translation of The Joy Luck Club in2006. Different from the previous researches onthe basis of the approach to translation as adaptation and selection, this thesis aims at the holistic degree ofadaptation and selection of this translation through studying on the transformation on the linguistic, culturaland communicative dimensions. According to this theory, translation is defined as "the translators’ selectiveactivity adapting to the “translational Eco-environment”. Differing from “context”, here the “translationaleco-environment” has a much more comprehensive definition. It is a collection of many kinds of elementsthat can restrict translators to do optimal adaptation and optimization, and a whole including language,communication, culture, society, and author, reader, assignee, and other related factors. In the process oftranslating, multi-dimensional adaptive selection and selective adaptation have to be made. Mainly thiskind making is the transformation on the “three dimensions”, i.e. language, culture and communication.The best translation is the one with “the highest degree of holistic adaptation and selection”. On thelinguistic dimension, the thesis mainly analyzes the translation of Romanized Pinyin, acronym and lyrics,which are with special linguistic form; on the cultural dimension, the thesis mainly analyzes the translationof idioms and proverbs, which are full of Chinese cultural features; on the communicative dimension, thethesis mainly analyzes the translation of American brand and the name of film, which have influence on the cross-cultural communication between Chinese and America.Through this research, it is found that in the process of translating, language, culture andcommunication are the three most important dimensions. On the basis of full understanding of the originalnovel, Cheng Naishan adopted proper translating strategies to achieve successful transformations onlinguistic, cultural and communicative dimensions in her2006version. As a result, this translation adapts tothe whole translational eco-environment, and obtains a high degree of holistic adaptation and selection.
