【摘要】 当今世界的政治新格局正朝着多极化的趋势发展,加强中非关系的重要性日益凸显。《牛津非洲思想百科全书》(The Oxford Encyclopedia of African Thought)一书从多个角度描绘了非洲的历史、文化与思想,是全方位了解非洲的最佳读本。本文是一篇以非洲信息类文本为研究对象的翻译实践报告,翻译对象是从《牛津非洲思想百科全书》中节选出来的四个词条,这四个词条介绍了非洲历史上地位显赫的四个作家,他们在非洲思想发展史上贡献了重要力量,是读者为了了解非洲思想的发展演变所不能忽视的重要角色。报告重点选取了翻译时出现的各类问题作为本次实践报告的案例分析对象,并针对这些问题采取了适用的解决办法。译者在翻译过程中遇到的主要问题包括如何正确翻译文化类、政治类的专有名词,如何解决难点词汇、词组的翻译,以及如何翻译好长难句。为了达到理想的翻译效果,译者主要将尤金·奈达(Eugene A.Nida)的功能对等理论作为本次翻译活动的理论支撑,并选取部分典型案例,从如何解决专有名词、难点词汇与词组、长难句的角度,结合翻译补偿法、拆译、解释说明法等翻译策略与技巧,分析了这些翻译方法在此次翻译实践中的应用。本次翻译实践的目的是探讨信息型文本的翻译策略,以及功能对等理论对信息型文本翻译的指导作用。通过此次翻译实践,笔者希望提升自己的翻译水平,同时为信息型文本的翻译研究,以及非洲文化在中国的传播做出些许贡献。通过对翻译任务的描述和分析,报告得出如下总结:(1)翻译补偿法和功能对等理论可以用于解决翻译信息型文本时遇到的问题。(2)在面对信息型文本的翻译时,译者应该尽力正确理解原文本内容,将准确传达原文内容作为翻译的重中之重。此外,译者在此次翻译活动中收获了许多信息类文本的翻译经验,却也发现自己还存在许多不足。在今后的学习中,译者会努力涉猎多方面的知识,不断提高自身水平。
【Abstract】 Nowadays,the new political pattern in the world is moving towards multiple popularization,and the importance of strengthening China-Africa relations is increasingly prominent.The Oxford Encyclopedia of African Thought describes African history,culture and thought from various perspectives,and is the best book to understand Africa in all aspects.This paper is a practical report on the translation of African information texts.The task of translation is to extract four entries of this book,which introduce four prominent writers in the history of Africa,who made great contributions in the development of African thought.They are good to be known if the readers want to learn more about African thought.The report focuses on all kinds of problems in translation as the case analysis object of this practical report,and takes appropriate solutions to these problems.The main problems the translator encountered in the translation process include how to correctly translate the proper nouns of cultural and political categories,how to solve difficult words,phrases,and long difficult sentences.In order to achieve the ideal translation,the translator mainly takes Eugene Nida’s functional equivalence theory as the theoretical support of this translation activity.From the perspective of solving problems,this paper analyzes the application of functional equivalence theory in this translation practice,combining with translation strategies and skills such as translation compensation,division,interpretation and explanation.The purpose of this translation practice is to explore the translation strategies of informative texts and the guiding role of functional equivalence theory.Through this translation practice,the author hopes to improve her translation level and make some contributions to the translation research of information-based texts and the spread of African culture in China.Through the description and analysis of translation tasks,the report concludes as follows:(1)the method of translation compensation and functional equivalence theory can be used to solve the problems encountered in translating informative texts.(2)In the face of information-based translation,translators should try their best to understand the original content correctly,and take accurate communication of the original text as the top priority of translation.In addition,the translator has gained a lot of experience in the translation of information texts,but also found that there arestill many shortcomings.In the future study,the translator will strive to explore various knowledge and constantly improve her own level.
