【摘要】 旅行指南的翻译是重建关联和重新选择语境的过程:作为交际者的译者根据原作者的“明示”,借助语境完成“推理”过程,然后以译入语“明示”作者的意图,译文读者再根据译者的“明示”,借助全新的语境完成“推理”过程,从而实现原作者和读者之间的交际。本文尝试以关联理论为视角,以《孤独星球:旧金山》的选文《历史》和《当地饮食》的汉译为例,探讨旅行指南翻译中不同语境影响下的关联重建问题。认知过程动态地选择和建构语境,对语言语境、情景语境和文化语境中的线索进行信息加工。本文以丰富的译例分别探讨了语言环境中的多义词、章节标题、重复现象,情景语境中的不同修辞手法带来的诗学效果,以及文化语境中的转悠名词、文化典故和文化回译。译者需要考虑读者的知识水平和认知能力,针对三种语境和现实情况分别采取不同的关联翻译策略,以实现交际成功。在优化关联原则的指导下,本项目印证了关联理论不仅对旅行指南的翻译具有较强的解释力,而且可以解决旅行指南翻译过程中的文化缺省问题及文化回译问题。对于旅行指南的翻译,译者不能盲目追求译文相对原文的忠实信度,而要在兼顾效度的前提下为译文读者提供信度高的旅行参考信息。
【Abstract】 The translating process of travel guide books is the reconstruction of relevance and reselecting of context clues.The translator as a communicator follows the "ostensive-inferential process," firstly as a reader to finish the "inferential process" according to the writer’s "ostensive process" within the context,and then as a writer to complete the"ostensive process" for the readers.Based on the Relevance Theory,the present thesis attempts to explore the relevance reconstruction in different contexts of the travel guide books translation with an exemplification of translating into Chinese the "History" and"Local Cuisine&Drinks" selected from Lonely Planet:San Francisco.The cognitive process is a dynamic information processing of clues within linguistic context,situational context and cultural context respectively.The present thesis probes into difficulties in dealing with polysemic words,section headings and repetitions within linguistic context,with poetic effects within situational context,and with proper nouns,cultural allusions and back translation within cultural context.Given different cognitive capacity and knowledge reserve,the translator resorts to different translation strategies accordingly for the success of communication.Based on the principal of optimal relevance,this study argues that Relevance Theory brings more insights to travel guide books translation even in terms of cultural default and back translation.In the translation of travel guide books,if it is necessary to provide effective information to the readers,it does not mean the translator must always be faithful to the original text,particularly when the original text carries cultural misunderstandings.
