【摘要】 小说是一种典型的叙事文学,其风格往往可以通过叙事结构和叙事技巧来呈现。因此,在阐释和翻译小说的过程中,译者不仅要抓住原作与译作的语言差异,更要着重了解原作的叙事特点,通过叙事方式把握原作者的叙事意图。《天堂蒜薹之歌》是莫言1988年创作的长篇小说力作,该作品的一章曾被诺贝尔官网摘录,并以此作为莫言作品的介绍。本文作者正是以这部作品的英译本为研究对象,采用叙事学的视角,从复调叙事、叙事语法和人物话语三个方面将译文与原文进行了对比分析,旨在证明叙事学对小说翻译批评的解释力。经研究发现,该部作品的译者在翻译过程中通过调整复调叙事、根据时空关系重置事件序列、省译“卫星”事件和转变人物话语模式等手段改变了原作的叙事方式,这样做的优点是减少了译文的阅读阻力,使目的语读者更容易理解和接受译文,但缺点也十分明显,译文的文学意义和审美价值在一定程度上打了折扣。通过对《天堂蒜薹之歌》英译本的叙事学研究,不仅可以加深我们对该英译本的认识,也可以有效地了解译者的翻译策略,为中国现当代文学作品的翻译和对外传播提供一定借鉴。更多还原

【Abstract】 Novel is a kind of representative narrative literature, whose style can be presented by various narrative schema and narrative techniques. Therefore, in process of interpreting and translating a novel, translator should not only grasp the linguistic differences between the source text and the target text but have a better understanding of the narrative features of the source text, and seize the narrative intention of the original author through narrative pattern. The Garlic Ballads, one of the representative works of Mo Yan, was published in 1988. It is excerpted by the official website of Nobel Prize as an introduction to Mo Yan’s works. Selecting the English version of The Garlic Ballads as object of study, the author of this thesis from the perspective of narratology attempts to make a comparative analysis on The Garlic Ballads and its translation from such three aspects as polyphonic narrative, narrative grammar and speech presentation, which aims at testifying the explanatory power of narratology on the criticism of fictional translation. The study finds that the translator in the process of translation has altered the narrative schema and discourse through adjusting polyphonic narrative, rearranging the event sequence according to the space-time relationship, omitting the satellites, and transforming the speech presentation. In view of this, the reading difficulty of the translation is lowered and the English version is more easily accepted and understood by target readers from different levels. However, the literary meaning and aesthetic value are discounted to some extent. Through the narrative analysis on the English version of The Garlic Ballads, it is hoped that this thesis can deepen the understanding of readers on the English version of The Garlic Ballads and help us learn the translation strategies of the translator on one hand, and further providing some insight into translation study and international publicity of Chinese modern and contemporary literary works on the other hand.更多还原
