【摘要】 在中国传统的社会中,“好男不当兵”这一观念深深植根于人们的脑海里,中国的社会结构基本上是以“四民”(士、农、工、商)为主,军人常常游离在四民之外,处于传统社会的边缘位置。但是在晚清这一特殊历史背景下,尚武思潮蓬勃发展,为了保家卫国,救亡图存,“军人”渐渐走入人们的视野。晚清的翻译小说在重构“军人”形象方面起了重要作用。关于晚清文学翻译的研究已有丰硕成果,对译者和译作的研究众多,但鲜有涉及到译作中“军人”的形象。实际上在晚清军事小说的译作中,译者极力强化和宣扬的军人,对于重构军人的形象起了重要作用,这与整个晚清的时代背景和译者的翻译思想密不可分。本文首先梳理了晚清军事翻译所经历的阶段和涉及的内容,即从武器技术翻译到军事制度翻译,再到广泛、深刻的军事思想的翻译,可以发现军人在整个救亡图存运动中起着关键作用。文章选取了林纾的译作《黑太子南征录》作为研究对象,这部译介的军事小说中呈现了许多不同的军人。通过将原文和译文对比研究可以看出,译者在译文中强化了军人的爱国、尚武精神和专业素质。爱国要求军人不仅应该爱国家的土地,而且应该忠于自己的君王;尚武要求军人勇敢坚毅,且充满男性雄风;专业素质要求军人能指挥作战、鼓舞士气。这些精神和品质正是新的军人应该具备的。本文考察了晚清译者所推崇的军人形象,对军人形象进行了重构,以期为这一时期翻译文学中军人形象的研究提供一点借鉴。

【Abstract】 In traditional Chinese society,the idea that "a good man does not join the army" was deeply rooted in people’s mind. As a result, in a society mainly composed of four groups of people (scholars, farmers, artisans and merchants), armymen were marginalized and despised. However, in the context of Late Qing Dynasty when national salvation was the top priority, the trend of militarism flourished and armymen began to claim a central social position. The translation of military novels played a crucial role in building the image of armymen. Though there are a lot of studies on translations and translators in Late Qing,few touch upon the issue of armymen. Actually,armymen’s image was praised and promoted by the translator in the translation of military novels, which helped reconstruct their special image.This thesis takes Lin Shu’s translation of The White Company as the object of study,which presents many different armymen. The thesis first describes the historical background of military novel translation, which shows that the topics of military texts translated in Late Qing shifted from technology through institution to culture. It can be seen that armymen played a key role in the national salvation campaign. By comparing the translation with its original text, Lin Shu emphasized such characteristics as patriotism, militarism and professionalism. Patriotism requires that armymen should not only love the land, but also stay loyal to their emperor; militarism requires they be brave and masculine; professionalism requires they take good command of the army and be able to boost the morale. These characteristics were what new armymen were expected to have. This thesis probes into the image of armymen reconstructed by Lin Shu and then adds some insight into the research of armymen in translated literature.
