【摘要】 文化缺省指“作者在与其意向读者交流时双方共有的相关文化背景知识的省略”,这一现象普遍存在于文学作品中,其意义是提高交际效率,激发读者想象力。然而,源语文化与目标语文化的差异,容易影响目标语读者对原著的理解。因此,译者需要认识文化缺省的存在,理解原文的文化内涵,然后运用合适的翻译补偿方法,传达原文真实意思,帮助译文读者更好地理解原文。中国四大名著之一的《西游记》是一部根据游记改编的神话小说,讲述了主人公唐三藏和三位徒弟前往天竺求取佛经的故事。自19世纪末起,已有多位国内外学者将原著翻译成英文,其中第一部完整英译本由余国藩教授(1938-2015)翻译。本文以余译本《西游记》为研究对象,结合奈达和纽马克对文化的分类以及原文本特点,将文化缺省的例子进行了相应分类,包括宗教文化、生态文化、物质文化、社会文化、语言文化和情色文化,分析了译文中余国藩教授对于不同文化缺省现象的处理方法。另外,本文归纳了其译文中针对文化缺省所采取的补偿办法,包括注释、增译、转换、替代、音译、省译和概括。希望通过本文对余译本的研究有所帮助,也为中国文学作品外译添砖加瓦。更多还原

【Abstract】 Cultural default refers to the “absence of some cultural background knowledge shared by the author and his or her intended reader”.This phenomenon is commonly seen in literary works,the aim of which is to improve communication efficiency and motivate readers’ imagination.However,the cultural difference between the source language and target language may influence the TT(target text)readers in understanding the original work.Therefore,translators need to acknowledge cultural default and understand the cultural connotations of the source text,and then they should employ proper translation methods to convey its true meaning and help the target text readers understand the original work better.Xi You Ji,one of the Four Great Classic Novels in China,is a myth adapted from a historic journey.It tells a story that the protagonist Tang Sanzang,together with his three disciples,leaves for India and seeks for the Buddhist scriptures there.Since the end of nineteenth century,some domestic and foreign translators have translated the original work into English,and the first complete English version is translated by Professor Anthony C.Yu(1938-2015).Taking Yu’s version The Journey to the West as a case study,this thesis categorizes the examples related to cultural default in the light of Nida’s and Newmark’s categorizations as well as the traits of the source text,including:religious culture,ecological culture,material culture,social culture,linguistic culture and erotic culture;it analyzes Yu’s translation methods dealing with different kinds of cultural default.Moreover,this thesis also groups the methods compensated for cultural default in his translation,including: annotation,amplification,transplantation,substitution,transliteration,omission,and generalization.The author expects that this thesis is helpful to study Yu’s version and makes contributions to the translation of Chinese literary works.更多还原
