【摘要】： 20世纪80年代以前,尤其是在中国,文学翻译研究和批评的标准大体上依赖于主观直觉和印象式的判断,在操作方法上难以达到最大限度的客观。随着语言学和文学理论的发展,在语言学和文学批评的基础上出现了一门新的学科——文学文体学,它以语言学的方法为工具,注重探讨作者如何通过对语言的选择来表达和加强主题意义和美学效果。文学文体学是文学研究从主观走向客观的桥梁。文学文体学涉及的主要文体类别是诗歌、小说、戏剧及散文。就小说而言,用文学文体学的方法研究小说翻译的努力还远远不够,文学文体学对小说翻译的指导作用尚未得到充分的发挥。传统的小说翻译研究往往注重原文内容的传达,而忽略其语言形式的意义。而小说中的语言形式正是作者寻求达到各种主题和美学效果的途径。文学文体学是通过分析文学文本的语言形式来探讨文本的主题和美学意义。这也是本文用文学文体学的理论分析小说《紫色》中译本的缘由所在。美国黑人女作家艾丽丝·沃克的小说《紫色》一经发表,就引起了巨大反响,先后获得普利策文学奖、美国全国图书奖、全国书评家协会奖。《紫色》在国内外学者中得到了广泛研究,但已有的研究大都集中在女性主义、种族压迫、性别歧视的主题上。虽然中国大陆和台湾地区先后出版了《紫色》的五个中译本,但对《紫色》中译本的研究则几乎无人问津。作者发现杨仁敬、鲁书江和陶洁的三个译本在对原文语言形式的把握上存在显著的差异:当译者保留原文的语言形式时,原文的主题意义和美学价值就能有效地传达出来,而译者忽略原文的语言形式时,就有可能损害原文的主题和美学价值。因此,本文将从文学文体学的角度分析比较三个中译本,首先从文学文体学的角度考查原文的文体特征是否在译文中尽显出来,并试图探讨文学文体学对小说翻译实践和研究的指导意义。本文主要以文学文体学的典范之作——利奇和肖特的《小说文体学》为理论框架,结合文本特征,分别从词汇、语法、语相、音系、修辞、语境和衔接、自由直接引语及视角等方面进行文本分析,探讨文学文体学对小说翻译研究的意义。
[Abstract]:Before the 1980s, especially in China, the standards of literary translation research and criticism depended largely on subjective intuition and impressionistic judgment, and it was difficult to achieve maximum objectivity in operational methods. With the development of linguistics and literary theory, a new discipline, literary stylistics, has emerged on the basis of linguistics and literary criticism. Focus on how to express and strengthen the thematic meaning and aesthetic effect through the choice of language. Literary stylistics is the bridge from subjective to objective. The main stylistic categories involved in literary stylistics are poetry, fiction, drama and prose. As far as fiction is concerned, the efforts to study novel translation by literary stylistics are far from enough, and the guiding role of literary stylistics in novel translation has not been brought into full play. The traditional study of novel translation often pays attention to the transmission of the original content and neglects the meaning of its language form. The form of language in the novel is the way for the author to achieve various themes and aesthetic effects. Literary stylistics explores the theme and aesthetic significance of literary texts by analyzing their linguistic forms. This is also the reason why this thesis uses literary stylistic theory to analyze the Chinese translation of the novel Purple. As soon as Alice Walker's novel, Purple, was published, it caused a tremendous response, winning the Pulitzer Prize for Literature and the National Book Award of the United States. "Purple" has been widely studied by scholars at home and abroad, but most of the previous studies have focused on the themes of feminism, racial oppression and sexism. Although five Chinese versions of Purple have been published in mainland China and Taiwan respectively, studies on the Chinese versions of Purple have hardly been studied. The author finds that there are significant differences between the three versions of Yang Renjing, Lu Shujiang and Tao Jie in their understanding of the language form of the original text: when the translator retains the language form of the original text, the thematic meaning and aesthetic value of the original text can be effectively conveyed. When the translator neglects the language form of the original text, it may damage the theme and aesthetic value of the original text. Therefore, this paper will analyze and compare the three Chinese versions from the perspective of literary stylistics. First, from the perspective of literary stylistics, we will examine whether the stylistic features of the original text are fully manifested in the translation. It also attempts to explore the guiding significance of literary stylistics in the practice and study of novel translation. Based on the theoretical framework of Lich and short's novel Stylistics, and combining the features of the text, this thesis focuses on vocabulary, grammar, phonetics, phonology, rhetoric, context and cohesion, respectively, from the perspective of vocabulary, grammar, phonetics, phonology, rhetoric, context and cohesion. This paper discusses the significance of literary stylistics in the study of novel translation.
