【摘要】 《三国演义》是公认的中国第一部章回体历史小说,被称为中国四大名著之一。它不仅在国内享有盛誉,还作为首部拥有完整英译本的中国古典小说驰名海外。三国时期是中国历史上最为动荡的年代之一,立足于此的《三国演义》对这段历史时期的战事进行了精彩描写。在将该小说译为外文时,译者需要考虑如何处理书中具有中国古代特色的军事术语。这些军事术语深深植根于中国传统文化,有可能成为翻译的障碍,对其文化背景迥异于原文作者的别国译者尤为如此。鉴于此原因,本研究选取《三国演义》的两个完整英译本作为研究材料,其一为邓罗所译,其二为罗慕士所译,总结具有一定普适性的军事术语翻译策略,为后续同类翻译实践提供参考。本文作者以翻译目的论为视角,对两译本的军事术语翻译策略进行了对比分析,以便探求不同策略倾向背后的深层原因。结论如下:从目的原则的角度看,两译者基于各自目的,在忠实原则和连贯原则间做出了不同选择。罗慕士译本是学术项目成果,在形式和内容上都更加贴近原文,异化程度更高,近乎完美地体现了忠实原则;而邓罗译本在行文上则更加流畅自然,显现出一定的归化倾向,符合连贯原则的要求。作为学术翻译的典范,罗慕士译本多采用文后加注等翻译策略补全原文信息,旨在为其目标读者提供丰富的背景知识,加深外国读者对中国文化的了解;邓罗译本则多采用省译、意译等翻译策略简化原文信息,意在为目标读者创造轻松无阻的阅读体验,提高译本的接受度。在翻译中国古代军事术语时,两译者的方法各有可取之处。翻译工作者应灵活运用不同翻译策略,根据目的论原则,或者在最大程度上保留原文特色,或者充分考虑外语读者的接受程度,或者二者兼顾,以便翻译出符合“让中国文化走出去”国策的翻译佳作,实现有效输出中国文化的目的。更多还原

【Abstract】 San Guo Yan Yi is widely acknowledged as the first full-length romance novel of history that ever appeared in China and one of the "Four Great Chinese Classics".Other than its birthplace China,it has also won great popularity abroad,as the first of the major traditional Chinese novels fully translated into English.As a historical narrative set in one of the most turbulent years in Chinese history,San Guo Yan Yi has its finest parts lying in the depiction of wars,and one who wants to perfectly reproduce the war scenes in another language has to firstly deal with its featured military terms.However,deeply rooted in traditional Chinese culture,those terms are likely to give rise to obstacles in translating,especially for translators whose cultural background differs greatly from what the novel is set.For this reason,the research chooses the two complete English versions of San Guo Yan Yi,one by Charles Henry Brewitt-Taylor and the other by Moss Roberts,as research materials,and explores the patterns or general strategies of translating military terms of ancient China as references for future translation practices of the same kind.From the perspective of skopos theory,this study makes a comparison between the strategies used by the two translators in translating the military terms,aiming to explore the deep reasons behind their strategy preferences.The conclusion is as follows:governed by the skopos rules,the two translators make different choices between the fidelity rule and the coherence rule.Roberts’ version,as a product of scholar project,is more foreignized by staying closer to the original from form and content,which reflects the fidelity rule in a nearly perfect way.While Brewitt-Taylor’s version is somewhat domesticated in order to make the rendition smooth and natural,as requested by the coherence rule.As a typical example of scholarly translation,Roberts’ version attaches considerable notes to his translation to offer rich background knowledge for his target readers and acquaint foreign readers with Chinese culture;Brewitt-Taylor’s tends to simplify or shorten the original information by means of omission or free translation,so as to achieve smooth reading experience for his target readers and increase the degree of acceptability among readers.Both versions have provided invaluable references for the translation of ancient Chinese military terms.Future translators should draw on experience from the two versions and apply,on the basis of skopos theory,appropriate strategies to either retain the original flavors to the maximum,or attach greater importance to the receptivity of overseas readers,or both,so as to produce translation works to respond to the national policy of the "Overseas Promotion of Chinese Culture"and fulfill the goal of effective exportation of Chinese culture.更多还原
