【摘要】 在全球化的时代背景下,讲好中国故事,传播好中国声音,增强中华文化软实力与影响力已成为我国重大发展战略。茶文化是中华传统文化的象征和典型代表之一,具有深厚的历史积淀及广泛的影响力。推进茶文化的对外译介,有助于弘扬中国传统文化,深化文明交流互鉴,“展现可信、可爱、可敬的中国形象”。白茶是中国的特色茶类,其风味独特,保健功效突出,颇受国内消费者青睐,而西方受众较为熟悉中国红茶与绿茶,对白茶的认识较少。因此,通过翻译,推动白茶“走出去”具有必要性。本报告的语料原文选自由李建国先生所著、文化发展出版社出版的《白茶新语》一书中第二至四章,该部分详述白茶的分类、产区及制作工艺,使用较多茶学术语、四字格词语与辞格手段,具有鲜明的文化特色,结构上存在大量的流水句和无主句,语篇逻辑关系不明显。此外,作者倾向于引用民间谚语、茶文化典故及前人名言来提升文本的感染力与权威性。该翻译实践旨在帮助国外受众进一步了解中国白茶及茶文化,吸引他们喜爱中国白茶。肯尼斯·伯克(Kenneth Burke)的辞屏理论强调话语背后的象征力量,主张语言不仅反映现实,还选择现实,由语言符号建构的辞屏具有内在的选择与遮蔽等“使能”功能,由此引导受众的认知,形成相应的劝说效果。茶文化翻译并非是一般意义的语言转换活动,而是一项受动机驱动的“修辞性交际”行为,译者围绕特定翻译目的,有效运用译文话语来影响受众,以求受众的理解与认同。辞屏理论能够启发译者积极构建译语辞屏,引导译语读者正确解读并领会原文核心信息,为本次翻译实践报告提供有力的理论支持。本报告选用伯克辞屏观作为理论工具,以《白茶新语》(节选)英译实践作为研究对象,尝试从话语内容,诉求策略,建构方式,以及辞格手段这四种象征资源入手,阐明译文话语所发挥的辞屏效应,在此基础上总结翻译经验,研究中国茶文化英译策略,以求改进译本质量,提高话语的可信度与有效性。报告表明:在翻译茶文化文本时,译者需要考虑词语的象征内涵,精心选择译文话语,构筑相应的辞屏,具体可分为以下四个方面:一、运用适当的翻译方法确保译文话语的真实可信、符合逻辑;二、采用得体的诉求策略,激起受众的阅读兴趣;三、套用受众熟悉的话语建构方式,使其形式符合受众预期;四、使用得体的美学辞格手段,提高文本的说服力与感染力,促使受众形成对中国白茶及茶文化的正确认识,诱导其由认同而产生兴趣、喜爱等态度转变,促进合作。更多还原

【Abstract】 Under the backdrop of globalization,China has been paying more and more attention to the“going global”of its culture to make it better known to the outside world.Loaded with profound history and implications,tea has been regarded as one of the symbols and typical representatives of Chinese culture.Hence,prompting the English translation of Chinese tea culture is conducive to carrying forward Chinese culture,deepening international cultural exchanges on tea,and presenting China as a country that is“worthy of trust,friendship and respect”in the new era.White tea,with its unique flavor and outstanding health benefits,is honored as one of China’s special treasures.This variety of tea has been gaining popularity among Chinese tea drinkers in recent years.However,it seems that many tea enthusiasts from other countries are more familiar with Chinese black tea or green tea,and know little about white tea.Therefore,translation has a role to play to facilitate white tea to go global.The source text(ST)of this report is selected from chapters 2to 4 of the book白茶新语(New Legend of White Tea),written by Li Jianguo and published by Culture Development Press.The ST covers the classification,production areas and manufacturing processes of white tea,and is characterized by the extensive use of the tea terms,proper nouns,four-character words and aesthetic devices,with distinctive cultural implications.There are a number of run-on sentences and non-subject sentences,lacking clear logical relations.Besides,many traditional Chinese sayings with cultural features are quoted in the ST to make the discourse appealing and credible to the Chinese audience.This translation practice aims to help the English audience get to know and love Chinese white tea and its culture.Kenneth Burke’s Terministic Screen theory emphasizes the symbolic power behind the discourse,claiming that our particular vocabularies constitute a reflection,selection,and deflection of reality.The terministic screen constructed by terms or symbols reveals some elements in a scene while it simultaneously conceals others,which can frame the audience’s cognition and contribute to persuasion.Rather than a shift at the linguistic level,translation is a motivated“rhetorical communication”indeed,during which the translator needs to consider the translation purpose and adopt symbolic means to seek the target audience’s identification.It is essential to carefully build the target terministic screen,through which the audience may be guided to understand the core information of the ST as expected.Therefore,the Terministic Screen theory can shed new light on tea culture translation and provide a theoretical basis for this report.This report studies the C-E translation of New Legend of White Tea(excerpts)on the basis of Terministic Screen theory,attempting to clarify the terministic screen effect exerted by the discourse regarding arguments,appeals,arrangement,and aesthetics.Efforts are made to explore feasible strategies to enhance the credibility and effectiveness of the tea culture translation.The result indicates that in translating the texts on tea culture,the translator should realize the symbolic power of language and carefully select the words to construct the corresponding terministic screen,which can be divided into the following four aspects:first,using suitable translation methods to ensure that the discourse is reasonable and valid;second,adopting proper appeal strategies to arouse the audience’s interest in reading;third,rearranging the texts to meet the audience’s expectation;fourth,applying the appropriate aesthetic devices to improve the persuasiveness of the target text,thus inducing the audience to identify with the translation with a better understanding of Chinese white tea and take interest in it.更多还原
