【摘要】 随着中国与世界其他国家的交流日益频繁,有必要将中国更全面的展现在世界面前,这样可以让人们对中国有更多的认识和了解。而文化,作为一个国家的核心要素,是一个国家最宝贵的遗产,也是人们了解这个国家不可或缺的一部分。《中国文化史》介绍了中国文化的发展、中国文化的主要特征以及这些特征对中国人的性格有哪些影响。《中国文化史》是华中科技大学人文学院前任院长何锡章教授开设的《中国文化简介》课程使用的讲义,该讲义由何教授亲自撰写,以帮助学生更好的了解这门课程及中国文化。该讲义涉及中国神话的讲述、中国宗教与哲学、重要历史事件以及诸多古典作品的引用,涵盖了中国文化中的许多方面,也传达了作者对中国文化的独特见解。本实践报告是笔者基于对《中国文化史》第二章“生存第一的文化价值观”的翻译。第二章主要介绍了中国人生存第一的文化价值观,解释了中国人是如何适应自然和环境,为什么会把生存放在第一位,中国的宗教哲学,比如道家和儒家对中国人的性格和生活态度有哪些影响,以及中国人的生活理想。这一部分涉及较多古文的引用和具有丰富内涵意义的文化词的使用,给翻译带来一定的难度。所以,在翻译前需要准确理解原文意思。事实上,在此次翻译实践中遇到的翻译问题是在文学和文化类型文本的翻译中经常碰到的,所以将此类问题总结起来并找到合适的翻译方法将对此类文本的翻译具有一定的借鉴意义。本报告在苏珊·巴斯奈特文化翻译观的指导下,对遇到的问题提出了相应的翻译策略,包括音译加释义、增译、直译和意译。最后,译者对整个实践报告进行了总结,并列出了尚未解决的问题以及关于文化翻译的几点思考。
【Abstract】 With the rapid increase of interaction and exchange between China and other countries,it becomes a necessity for China to present itself comprehensively to the outside world.In this way the other countries can understand China better.Culture,as the core of a nation,is an essential part of a country’s most treasured heritage and will tell the world of this country.The Cultural History of China introduces the development of Chinese culture,the main features of Chinese culture and how these elements have affected and influenced the formation of the characters of Chinese people.The Cultural History of China is a teaching material used by the course of An Introduction to Chinese Culture,which has been conducted by professor He Xizhang in Huazhong University of Science and Technology(HUST).The materials,written by He Xizhang,the former dean of the School of Humanities of HUST,are in the form of a handout which enable students to better understand the course and the Chinese culture.The handout includes description about Chinese mythology,Chinese religion and philosophy,historical events and many quotations from classical Chinese works.It covers a wide range of aspects in Chinese culture and shows professor He Xizhang’s unique views on Chinese culture.The report is based on the translation of the Chapter II The Cultural Values of the Surviving First.Chapter II mainly introduces Chinese people’s cultural values of survival.It explains how Chinese people adjust to the nature and the environment,why they put surviving in the most important place,how Chinese religions and philosophies like Taoism and Confucianism influence their characters and attitude toward life,and what their ideal of living is.In this part,there are many quotations from classical Chinese writings and cultural words containing rich cultural connotations.This makes the materials more difficult to translate.So an accurate understanding of the source text is very important before translation.In fact,all the translation difficulties and problems found in this translation practice are common but typical in the translation of literary and cultural texts.So it is necessary and significant to sum up the problems and the strategies employed in solving those problems.Under the guidance of Culture Translation Theory,the translator analyzes these difficulties and proposes some strategies to solving the problems,including transliteration and further explanation,addition,literal translation and free translation.In the end of the report,the translator summarizes the translation report and lists the further problems to be solved and implications of the research.
