【摘要】 认知翻译学是翻译研究的一个新兴分支,它是基于认知科学、认知心理学哲学、人工智能、计算机科学、人类学和认知语言学等学科对翻译过程、翻译活动及译者行为、能力、注意、情感等进行认知研究的一门学科。与认知相关的识解理论、关联理论、格式塔理论、概念隐喻和概念转喻理论能为古诗翻译研究提供新的研究视角。王维诗歌具有语言简洁、意象鲜明、诗中有画等特点,具有很高的艺术价值和文学价值,是文化外译的理想载体。至今国内外已有十多个王诗英译集。国外王诗英译研究对这些译本的研究大多是评介性的,国内王诗研究视角多样化,但从认知翻译学对王诗十多个译本及其他著名文学选集或译诗集中王诗英译存在研究对象局限、研究视角单一、研究深度不够等问题。本文试图从认知翻译学中的识解理论、关联理论、格式塔理论、概念隐喻和概念转喻理论对王诗进行多维度认知差异对比研究,揭示认知差异背后动因,总结有效的认知翻译策略,以期丰富王诗英译研究视角并为王诗“走出去”提供启示与借鉴。本文共七章,第一章为绪论,主要介绍了本文的研究缘起、研究问题、研究内容、研究方法、研究创新点,并对王维诗歌在国内外的译介和研究进行了综述。鉴于认知翻译学是翻译研究中的新兴学科分支,本文第二章对认知翻译学进行了概述。第三章到第六章是本文的主体部分。第三章以认知语言学中的识解为理论框架,从识解的四个维度——详略度、焦点化、突显和视角对比分析了王诗译文意义差别的认知理据及其背后动因。第四章研究了王诗英译中的认知语境,具体探讨了王诗英译中的次级交际情境、认知语境缺失及其填充手段、认知语境填充的度。第五章主要探讨了格式塔的整体性原则与王诗韵外之致的英译、格式塔闭合性原则与王诗英译的审美限度;第六章从概念隐喻视域分析了王诗中的拟人隐喻和以他人喻他人类型隐喻的英译,从概念转喻视域分析了王诗中的通感转喻、指称类转喻和归隐主题转喻三类转喻的英译。第七章为结语,总结了本文的研究发现和研究启示,阐述了本文的研究局限及对未来的研究展望。本文的创新之处有四点。首先,本研究研究视域新颖、系统。新颖性表现在认知翻译学视域是翻译学科的一个最新分支;系统性表现在本研究从认知翻译学中的识解理论、关联理论、格式塔理论、概念隐喻和概念转喻五个理论视角对王诗英译的认知问题进行多维度研究。其次,本研究研究对象范围广泛,以往以王诗为研究对象的认知研究,研究对象常局限在某个译本或几首诗的几种译本,本研究几乎囊括了王诗英译史上所有著名的文学选集、诗歌选集、王诗英译选集和王诗英译全集;第三,研究问题新颖,以下研究问题为王诗英译的首次:从辖域视角分析王诗不同选译集的形象塑造、从视角视域研究王诗独特写作视角的再现及王诗无人之境的认知传递、从概念隐喻和概念转喻视域考察了王诗中不同类型概念隐喻和概念转喻的英译。第四,本文部分章节使用定性和定量相结合的研究方法,使认知差异对比研究的结论较为客观。

【Abstract】 Cognitive Translation Studies(CTS)is a newly emerging branch of Translation Studies(TS).Drawing theories,concepts and research methods from cognitive science,cognitive psychology,philosophy,anthropology,artificial intelligence,computer science,and cognitive linguistics,it studies the translation process,translation activities,and translators’behavior,ability,attention,emotion,etc.Construal theory,relevance theory,Gestalt theory,conceptual metaphor,and conceptual metonymy in CTS can shed new light on the study of the English translation of Wang Wei’s poems,which are characterized by concise language,distinct images,and“paintings in poems”,and therefore have high artistic and literary values.Studies on the translation of Wang Wei’s poems are few at home and abroad.Studies from the perspective of CTS are fewer and quite limited concerning research objects,research perspective,and research depth.To fill this gap,the thesis attempts to study the cognitive differences among several versions of Wang Wei’s poems from diverse perspectives of CTS.The research perspectives adopted in the thesis are construal,relevance theory,gestalt theory,conceptual metaphor,and conceptual metonymy aiming at revealing the cognitive mechanism behind these cognitive differences in translating Wang Wei’s poems,summarizing effective cognitive translation strategies,and providing practical guidance for translating Wang Wei.The paper consists of seven chapters.The first chapter is the introduction,which mainly introduces the research background,research questions,research contents,research methods,and innovations of the paper.It also provides a literature overview of both the translation and the research of Wang Wei’s poems at home and abroad.As CTS is a newly emerging branch of TS,Chapter Two presents an overview of it.Chapter Three to Chapter Six are the body of the thesis.Chapter Three studies the cognitive differences in translations of Wang Wei’s poems from the perspective of construal in cognitive linguistics.Four dimensions of construal,namely specificity,focusing,salience and perspective,are utilized in examining different translation phenomena in translating Wang Wei’s poems.Chapter Four centers on the investigation of the cognitive context in different translations of Wang Wei’s poems.Specifically,it discusses the secondary communication situation,the lack of cognitive contexts and the effective methods of filling them,and the degree of filling the cognitive contexts in the translations of Wang Wei’s poems.Chapter Five mainly discusses the overall principle of Gestalt theory and the translation of“meaning-outside-words”in Wang Wei’s poems,and the Gestalt principle of closure and the aesthetic limits in the translations of Wang Wei’s poems.Chapter Six analyzes the translation of two types of metaphors——personification and metaphors characterized by using one literature figure as a metaphor for another person——in the translations of Wang Wei’s poems from the perspective of conceptual metaphor.It also investigates the translation of synaesthesia,referential metonymy,and hermit thematic metonymy in Wang Wei’s poems from the perspective of conceptual metonymy.Chapter Seven is the conclusion,which summarizes the findings and implications of the thesis,and points out the limitations and the prospects for future research.The innovative points in the paper are the following:firstly,the research perspective is novel and systematic.The novelty lies in the fact that CTS is a newly emerging branch of TS,therefore researching the translation of Wang Wei’s poems necessarily sheds new light on it;The systematicness lies in the fact that it examines the translation of Wang Wei’s poems from five perspectives(construal,relevance theory,Gestalt theory,conceptual metaphor,and conceptual metonymy)under the umbrella of CTS.Secondly,the research object of the thesis is much wider.Previous cognitive studies on the translation of Wang Wei’s poems are often limited to investigating a certain version or several translations of Wang Wei’s poems in a version.The research objects of the study encompass almost all the famous Chinese literary anthologies and poetry anthologies,and selected and complete versions of Wang Wei’s poems in English.Thirdly,the research questions are novel.The questions being researched for the first time concerning the translation of Wang Wei’s poems are:investigating different images shaped through different selective translations of Wang Wei’s poems from the perspective of scope,the reproduction of the unique perspective and silent artistic flavor in the translation of Wang Wei’s poems from the angle of perspective,and the examination of different types of conceptual metaphors and conceptual metonymies in the translations of Wang Wei’s poems from the perspectives of conceptual metaphor and conceptual metonymy.Lastly,some chapters of the thesis use both qualitative and quantitative research methods,therefore,the resultant conclusions are relatively objective.
