【副题名】基于《千年敬祈》英汉对比分析

【摘要】 美国华人女作家李翊云坚持用英语写作,其作品多以中国文化历史为叙事背景,在世界华人文坛产生了巨大影响力,同时也获得西方文学界的高度认可。李翊云短篇小说《千年敬祈》问世后在美国乃至世界引起轰动,极大地促进了中华文化的对外传播。笔者对比分析其译写作品并研究其译写方法与策略,对译界同类作品翻译研究具有借鉴意义,对华裔文化身份认同的构建和研究具有重要意义。美籍意大利翻译家、翻译理论家劳伦斯.韦努蒂(1998:67-68)认为,翻译无可避免地要对异域文本进行归化并给它们烙上本土语言与文化的印记,并对这种基于本族中心主义的归化策略予以质疑,提倡异化翻译。翻译为特定的文化读者群体而设计,既是一种话语建构,也是一种心理建构,译者对译本的选择以及翻译策略的使用,会促进其文化身份的塑造。《千年敬祈》中不乏一些富含中国特色的文化内容,李翊云通过英文创作将中国故事译写给西方读者的过程便是展示其身份塑造的过程。本文通过对比分析李翊云《千年敬祈》英语原作与中文译本在中国特色词语、中式比喻和习语等方面的英语语码转换及翻译策略,发现李翊云在译写过程中多采用直译、音译等翻译方法与异化为主、归化为辅的策略。通过对英、汉两种文本的梳理与分析原文本,笔者发现李翊云对祖籍国文化具有较高的文化认同,对祖籍国文化持积极与肯定的态度。李翊云坚持用英语创作且其作品保留中国文化特色,伴随其文学作品在世界文坛产生的影响力,对中国文化海外传播会产生一定影响力。研究华人作家译写过程中的翻译策略及文化身份定位对进一步探索如何通过文学作品更好地讲好中国故事、对外传播中国故事具有一定的研究与参照意义。更多还原

【Abstract】 Yiyun Li,a Chinese-American female writer who insists on writing in English,plays a leading role in Chinese American literature.Her works are mostly set in specific Chinese history and culture.Li’s first short novel,A Thousand Years of Good Prayers,became a shot in America and even the world upon publication,tremendously promoting the international communication of Chinese culture.The author compares and analyzes the translation methods and strategies adopted in Li’s works and studies,which is of vital significance to the translation studies of similar works and the formation and research of Chinese American writers’ cultural identity.The Italian American translator and translation theorist Lawrence Venuti(1998,67-68)holds that translation inevitably domesticates foreign texts and inscribes them with linguistic and cultural values.He questioned the domestication strategy based on ethnocentrism advocates foreignization.As translation is usually designed for specific cultural aims,not only is it a kind of discourse formation,but it is a formation of psychology.When the translator chooses a foreign text to translate,the application of different translation strategies can further promote the formation of one’s cultural identity.In the short story A Thousand Years of Good Prayers,there are many different translations of cultural contents filled with Chinese characteristics,and the whole translating process of showing Chinese stories to western readers through English writing is also a process to present Yiyun Li’s cultural identity.This thesis mainly makes a specific comparative analysis of the English code-switching and strategies of cultural contents with Chinese characteristics,Chinese metaphors and idioms in Yiyun Li’s story,and finally finds that Li mostly adopts literal translation,transliteration and foreignization in her innovative translation.It is also found that Yiyun Li mainly applies literal translation,transliteration methods as well as foreignization as the main strategy and domestication auxiliary in her innovative translation.Through clarification and analyses of the English and Chinese versions in the innovative translation,the author of the thesis finds that Yiyun Li possesses high cultural identity and holds positive attitude towards the culture of her ancestral homeland.Li insists on writing in English and reserving Chinese cultural characteristics in her works.With the influence of his literary works in the world literary circle,there will be a certain influence on the overseas dissemination of Chinese culture.To study the translation strategies and cultural identity of Chinese writers in the process of translation is of certain researching and referential significance to further explore how to better tell Chinese stories through literature works and spread Chinese stories to the outside world.更多还原
