【摘要】 转换在英汉翻译中十分常见,不同语言之间能够流畅的交流伴随着时态、人称、词性、语法和结构等多种类型的转换。1965,卡特福德正式定义了“转换”的概念,即“从源语到目的语的过程中偏离了形式上的对等”,包括层次转换和范畴转换,以此来研究不同语言之间的交际功能,这对翻译实践有很大的参考和指导意义。本文选择的翻译实践文本是《数字创业与共享经济》一书的第四节“电子商务中的创业演变——共享经济”和第七节“数字初创企业的开放式创新”,题材为经济报告类,属于信息型文本,语言较为抽象,专业性较强。本文以卡特福德的翻译转换理论为指导,从经济报告类文本的特点入手,分析了层次转换和范畴转换在词汇、语句和篇章翻译上的应用,以此来探究该理论指导经济报告类文本汉译的可行性。论文共分为五个部分。首先介绍了研究的背景和目的;接下来梳理了国内外学者在翻译转换理论研究上取得的成果;然后具体介绍了翻译转换理论框架;论文重点应用理论指导进行案例分析,探究英汉翻译过程中的各类转换现象。最后对论文进行总结。研究发现,卡特福德的转换理论对经济报告类文本的翻译具有指导意义,能够最大化的实现中英文的内容对等。《数字创业与共享经济》文本的翻译,有助于国内学者了解国外数字创业和共享经济研究的最新成果,也有助于国内初创企业积累和借鉴经验。本文探究英汉翻译过程中各类型转换的应用,以最大化的保留原文信息,为致力于研究共享经济和数字经济相关文本翻译的学者提供一定的借鉴和参考。
【Abstract】 Shift is common to see in English-Chinese translation.The smooth communication between different languages is often accompanied by many types of shifts,such as tense shift,personal shift,grammar shift and structure shift and the like.Catford(1965)defined the concept of “shift” as “deviation from formal equivalence in the process from the source language to the target language”,which include level shift and category shift,to facilitate the study of the communicative function between different languages.This theory has great reference and guiding significance for translation practice.The translated text selected in this thesis is from Part Four “The Sharing Economy as an Entrepreneurial Evolution of Electronic Commerce” and Part Seven “Fostering Open Innovation in Digital Startups: An Explorative Study of Norwegian Coworking Spaces” of the book Digital Entrepreneurship and the Sharing Economy.The subject matter is the economic report,which is a type of information-based text,with abstract language and technical terms.Under the guidance of Catford’s translation shift theory,this thesis evaluates and applies the level shift and category shift at the levels of vocabulary,syntax and text,and explores the feasibility of translating economic texts.The thesis comprises five parts.First,the thesis illustrates the background and purpose of the study.Next,it summarizes the achievements of translation shift theory research conducted by domestic and foreign scholars.And then the thesis introduces the framework of translation shift theory.The main body is case studies with theoretical guidance to explore various shifts in English-Chinese translation.Last is the conclusion.Research has found that Catford’s theory has guiding significance for the translation of economic report texts,which can maximize the content equivalence between Chinese and English.The translation of Digital entrepreneurship and Sharing Economy will assist domestic scholars to master the most cutting-edge foreign research on digital entrepreneurship and sharing economy,as well as provide a reference for the development of domestic start-ups.This thesis probes into the application of various types of shifts to maximize the retention of the original information,so as to provide some reference for scholars committed to the translation of texts related to sharing economy and digital economy.
