【摘要】 长期以来翻译研究的重心一直放在语言层面对等上,但自从上世纪70年代翻译学领域发生“文化转向”后,译者的重要性才逐渐凸显,其主体性也开始得到诸多学者的研究。本论文选取老舍著作《骆驼祥子》的施晓菁译本作为研究对象,以乔治·斯坦纳提出的阐释运作四步骤为指导框架,通过对施译本中的典型实例展开研究,旨在揭示小说翻译过程中译者主体性的具体体现。研究发现,施晓菁在阐释运作的四个步骤中均发挥了译者主体性。在信任阶段,译者选择接受翻译《骆驼祥子》这一任务,相信文本具有翻译的价值,且可以更正之前译者的诸多误译;在侵入阶段,译者凭借其深厚的双语能力和文化知识储备从词汇和文化两个方面对原文本进行理解;在吸收阶段,译者从形式与意义两个方面着手,通过灵活使用直译与意译等翻译策略进行表达,决定保留或是替换原文化中的独特意象,目的都是使读者更顺畅地理解文本;在补偿阶段,译者通过增加脚注、删除不必要冗余以及添加必要解释等手段弥补了前三个步骤中因种种原因而导致的信息缺损等失衡。总之,上述四步骤中均鲜明地体现出了译者主体性的发挥。本研究丰富了文学翻译中译者主体性的相关研究,希望相关成果可以更好助力中国文化的全球传播。

【Abstract】 Translation researchers have tended to focus on linguistic equivalence for a long time,but since the "culture turn"that occurred in the 1970s,the translator has gained more visibility and the topic of translator’s subjectivity has received extensive study accordingly.This thesis selects Shi Xiaojing’s English translation of Lao She’s Luotuo Xiangzi as the object of study and places it under the guiding framework of George Steiner’s fourfold hermeneutic motion theory.Much effort has been exerted to study some of the representative examples from the English translation.The aim is to illustrate how the translator exerted her subjectivity in translating the novel.The research finds out that Shi Xiaojing exhibited the translator’s subjectivity in line with the fourfold hermeneutic act.In the step of initial trust,the translator accepted the translation task and believed that the novel was worth translating.Moreover,she could take advantage of the opportunity to correct the mistranslations made by a former translator.In the step of aggression,the translator interpreted or understood the source text at both the linguistic and cultural levels based on her great command of English and Chinese and profound cultural knowledge.In the step of incorporation,the translator flexibly employed the strategies of literal translation and free translation to express the form and meaning of the source text.She also had to make a choice between retaining and replacing the unique cultural imagery in the source language culture,so that target readers could understand the translation more smoothly.In the step of compensation,the translator made up for the balance lost such as information deficiency during the previous steps by deleting unnecessary redundancy and adding extra explanations.In conclusion,each of the four steps above embodies the exertion of translator’s subjectivity.This thesis has enriched relevant studies on translator’s subjectivity in literary translation,and the findings are expected to promote the global spread of Chinese culture.
