【摘要】 《家》是中国现代文学史上描写封建家庭的一部优秀长篇巨著。自1932年出版以来,《家》在国内多次出版以及再版,并被改编成话剧、戏剧、电影和电视剧等形式。迄今为止,《家》已经被翻译为英、法、德、俄、日、泰等20多种语言。1958年著名翻译家沙博理先生翻译的英译本The Family由外文出版社出版。目前对中文版《家》的研究已经不胜枚举,但关于其英译本The Family的研究却相对薄弱。且大多数学者是从翻译美学视角、文学文体学视角、功能翻译理论和系统功能等视角进行的。因此,需从其他角度对其译本进行研究,使研究更加全面和系统。本文选取了沙博理先生翻译的The Family作为研究对象,以维索尔伦的语言顺应论为视角,旨在探讨和分析《家》的英译本在哪些方面做出了顺应,以及哪些因素会影响译者的选择以及译者在翻译中是如何做出顺应的。本文包括引言,文献综述,理论框架,文本分析和结论五大部分。文献综述部分主要回顾了:顺应论在翻译研究领域的应用,顺应论在文学翻译研究领域的应用以及对《家》的翻译的研究这三个方面的内容。文本分析是以语言顺应论为理论框架,通过对比原文译文,从语境关系顺应、语言结构顺应、动态顺应和意识凸显性这四个方面进行的。通过研究,本文得出了以下几点结论:(1)影响译者做出选择和顺应的因素是诸多的。从宏观来说主要有目的语语言系统、目的语的文化价值取向以及目的语读者的认知系统。微观上指在语言结构所有层次上对语言的顺应与选择。(2)在《家》的英译本中,沙博里先生采取了归化为主,异化为辅的翻译策略。具体而言,他主要采用了直译,意译,直译和意译相结合,省译,转换翻译和音译等翻译方法。(3)沙博里先生在翻译中对某些细节的处理有待商榷。希望本研究能够为进一步丰富《家》的翻译研究和中国文学作品的翻译尽到绵薄之力。

【Abstract】 Jia is an influential and outstanding novel in describing Chinese feudal families in modern literature.Since it was finished in 1932,it was repeatedly republished both at home and abroad and was adapted as drama,film and teleplay.Up to now,it has been translated into more than 20 languages such as English,French,German,Russian,Japanese,Thai etc.and it has obtained the worldwide prestige.In 1958,the Foreign Languages Press published its English version The Family which was translated by the famous translator and sinologist Sidney Shapiro.Up to now,scholars conducted a large amount of studies on Jia including papers and monographs.However,studies on its English version are relatively few and most of them are studied in the framework of translation aesthetics,literary stylistics,functional translation theory and system-functional linguistics.More systematical and comprehensive studies need to be conducted from other perspectives.In this paper,the author chose The Family as the object of study in the perspective of Verschueren’s Adaptation Theory.This paper aims to explore and analyze the adaptation of the English translation of Jia and what factors may affect the language choices of the translator and how the translator makes these adaptations.This paper includes five parts as follows,the introduction,literature review,theoretical framework,the analysis of the translation of Jia in light of Adaptation Theory and the conclusion.Literature review mainly focuses on the previous studies on the application of Adaptation Theory to translation,the studies on application of Adaptation Theory to literary translation and the studies of the translation of Jia.The detailed analysis covered following aspects of Adaptation Theory:contextual correlates of adaptability,structural objects of adaptability,dynamics of adaptability and salience of adaptability.This thesis draws the following conclusions: Firstly,during the process of translation,as well as the process of making language choices,the translator has made adaptations to various factors.From macro perspective,it includes the language system of target language,the cultural value orientation of target language and the cognitive system of target readers.On the micro level,it refers to the adaptation to all levels of language structures.Secondly,Sidney Shapiro made adaptations by adopting domestication as the major translation strategy and combining it with foreignization in the translation of Jia.To be specific,Sidney Shapiro mainly employed following translation methods,which are literal translation,free translation,the combination of literal and free translation,omission,amplification,conversion,transliteration.Thirdly,Sidney Shapiro’s translation of some cultural elements remain to be discussed.It is expected that this study could make a slight contribution to enrich the study of the translation of Jia and the translation of other Chinese literary works.
