【摘要】： 儿童文学在儿童的成长过程中起着十分重要的作用,它为儿童提供了一个美妙的精神世界,使他们在享受快乐的同时获得知识。当今世界随着各国文化交流的不断发展,儿童文学的交流也随之繁荣起来。大量外国儿童文学进入中国可以追溯到清朝末年,此后儿童文学翻译作品数目不断增加,在中国儿童文学的发展中占据着重要的地位。但是令人遗感的是,关于儿童文学翻译的理论和研究却远远落后。正如徐德荣在2004年《中国翻译》第6期发表的论文《儿童文学翻译刍议》中指出的,儿童文学的翻译在理论和实践两方面的发展很不平衡:儿童文学的译作层出不穷,而针对儿童文学翻译的专门研究却少得可怜。关联理论是关于交际和认知的语用学理论,是认知语用学的关注热点,而现在这一理论正被越来越多的学者应用于翻译领域。根据关联理论,翻译是一个双重的示意-推理交际过程,是涉及到原文作者、译者和译文读者三个交际主体的动态的三元关系。最佳关联性是关联理论的核心,译者应遵循关联理论从潜在的认知语境中选择正确的语境假设,从原文的语音层、句法层、语义层、语用层等各交际线索中推断出原文作者的交际意图,并对目的语接受者的认知语境做出正确的假设(孟建钢,2000:25),从而选择适当的译文,达到最佳关联的效果,努力使原文作者的意图与译文读者的期盼相吻合。本文在对儿童文学概况、儿童文学翻译的现状、以及关联理论的研究应用进行介绍之后,试图运用关联理论,并结合奥斯卡·王尔德的童话作品集The Happy Prince的翻译,从儿童文学翻译涉及的文化、语言风格、修辞三个方面来探讨该理论在儿童文学翻译实践中所起的指导作用。通过运用关联理论对翻译文本中大量翻译实例进行详细分析,并得出结论:在儿童文学翻译中,译者应灵活采用翻译策略,在考虑儿童读者认知能力和期待的基础上,创作出最佳关联效果的译作。
[Abstract]:Children's literature plays a very important role in the process of children's development. It provides a wonderful spiritual world for children and enables them to acquire knowledge while enjoying happiness. With the continuous development of cultural exchanges in the world, children's literature communication has also flourished. A large number of foreign children's literature in China can be traced back to the late Qing Dynasty. Since then, the number of children's literature translated has been increasing, which plays an important role in the development of Chinese children's literature. However, the theory and research on children's literature translation lags far behind. As Xu Dirong pointed out in the sixth issue of "Translation of China" published in 2004, the translation of children's literature is unbalanced in both theory and practice: the translation of children's literature emerges in endlessly. But the special research on children's literature translation is very few. Relevance theory is a pragmatic theory of communication and cognition, which is the focus of attention in cognitive pragmatics. Now, this theory is being applied by more and more scholars in the field of translation. According to relevance theory, translation is a double motion-inferential communication process, which is a dynamic ternary relationship involving three communicative subjects: the author of the original text, the translator and the reader of the target text. The optimal relevance is the core of relevance theory. The translator should follow relevance theory to choose the correct context hypothesis from the potential cognitive context, from the phonological level, syntactic level and semantic level of the original text. The communicative intention of the original author is inferred from various communicative clues such as pragmatic level, and the correct assumption is made on the cognitive context of the target language recipient (Meng Jiangang 2000: 25), so as to select the appropriate translation to achieve the best relevance effect. Try to bring the author's intention into line with the readers' expectations. After introducing the general situation of children's literature, the present situation of children's literature translation and the research and application of relevance theory, this paper attempts to apply relevance theory to the translation of Oscar Wang Erde's works of fairy tales (The Happy Prince). This paper discusses the guiding role of the theory in children's literature translation from three aspects: culture, language style and rhetoric. By using relevance theory, this paper makes a detailed analysis of a large number of translation examples in translated texts, and concludes that in children's literature translation, translators should adopt translation strategies flexibly, taking into account the cognitive ability and expectations of children's readers. Create a translation of the best relevance.
