【摘要】：《狼图腾》是由中国学者姜戎创作的一部颇具影响力的文学作品,于2008年由中国现当代文学著名翻译家葛浩文译为英文。该小说的主题之一是生态环境,揭示了工业、科技及人类的欲望对生态环境的破坏,倡导人类要勇于承担生态责任,学会与自然和谐相处。查阅相关文献之后发现,至今鲜有学者对《狼图腾》中生态话语的翻译进行研究。鉴于此,本研究试图从改写理论的视角,分析葛浩文如何翻译《狼图腾》中的生态话语,以期为日后更多中国生态文学作品走向世界提供借鉴。文化转向是20世纪70年代西方译学研究的重要特征之一。此后,译学研究的焦点从语言层面转向文化层面。在多元系统理论的启发之下,安德烈·勒菲弗尔将社会因素、经济因素等文学之外的因素纳入翻译研究的范畴。他认为,翻译是译者在意识形态、主流诗学的操控下对原作的一种改写。本研究以改写理论为视角,运用查阅文献法、文本分析法、归纳总结法等定性研究方法,尝试分析葛浩文如何翻译《狼图腾》中的生态话语时,进而归纳出其遵循的翻译原则,以期为日后更多中国生态文学作品走向世界提供借鉴。本研究主要提出了两个问题:一、改写理论可从哪些层面辅助解读《狼图腾》中生态话语的翻译?二、在改写理论的指导下,可从译者翻译《狼图腾》中生态话语的活动中归纳出哪些翻译原则?研究发现:(1)《狼图腾》中批评破坏生态做法迎合了西方国家生态环境保护的意识形态,译者多采用意译的翻译方法再现原作中人们对生态环境的破坏,旨在唤醒读者乃至整个社会反思工业文明导致的生态危机,主动承担起人类应有的生态责任。此外,译者本人为《狼图腾》中的自然美景所吸引,也为这些美景遭到破坏而扼腕叹息,因此译者采用删译、调整篇章结构等译法,再现原作中的美景。另外,《狼图腾》的生态主题与西方生态文学倡导的生态思想相契合,译者多采用减译、增译等技巧,使《狼图腾》英译本符合西方生态文学的规范;(2)《狼图腾》的生态话语翻译遵循了可接受性和可读性原则,可供翻译其他生态作品的译者借鉴。本研究的意义在于:一方面拓宽了《狼图腾》英译本的研究视角;另一方面,归纳出一些翻译原则,以期为日后更多中国生态文学作品走出国门提供借鉴,满足西方学者了解中国生态文学的意愿,充分发挥生态文学的社会功能。
[Abstract]:Wolf Totem is an influential literary work written by Jiang Rong, a Chinese scholar. In 2008, it was translated into English by GE Haowen, a famous translator of modern and contemporary Chinese literature. One of the themes of the novel is ecological environment, which reveals industry. Science and technology and human desire to destroy the ecological environment, advocating that human beings should dare to take ecological responsibility, learn to live in harmony with nature. So far, few scholars have studied the translation of ecological discourse in Wolf Totem. In view of this, this study attempts to analyze how Gehhot translated the ecological discourse in Wolf Totem from the perspective of rewriting theory. In order to provide reference for more Chinese ecological literature works to the world in the future. Cultural turn is one of the important characteristics of western translation studies in 1970s. Since then, The focus of translatology has shifted from a linguistic perspective to a cultural one. Inspired by the theory of multiple systems, Andre Lefevere brings into the realm of translation studies factors other than social factors, economic factors and other literary factors. Translation is a rewriting of the original by the translator under the control of ideology and mainstream poetics. This paper tries to analyze how to translate the ecological discourse in Wolf Totem, and then sums up the translation principles followed in order to provide reference for more Chinese ecological literature works to the world in the future. From which levels can the rewriting theory help to interpret the translation of ecological discourse in Wolf Totem? Secondly, under the guidance of rewriting theory, what translation principles can be concluded from the activities of ecological discourse in the translation of Wolf Totem? The study found that "Wolf Totem" criticizes ecological practices to cater to the ideology of ecological environmental protection in western countries, and translators often use free translation to reproduce the destruction of the ecological environment in the original work. It is aimed at arousing readers and society as a whole to reflect on the ecological crisis caused by industrial civilization, and to take the initiative to assume the ecological responsibility of mankind. In addition, the translator himself is attracted by the natural beauty in Wolf Totem. Also lamenting the destruction of these beautiful scenery, the translator adopts such translation methods as deleting and adjusting the text structure to reproduce the beautiful scenery in the original work. In addition, the ecological theme of Wolf Totem coincides with the ecological ideas advocated by Western ecological literature. In order to make the English version of Wolf Totem conform to the norms of western ecological literature, the translation of "Wolf Totem" follows the principles of acceptability and readability, and the translation of "Wolf Totem" is based on the principles of acceptability and readability. The significance of this study lies in: on the one hand, it broadens the perspective of the English translation of Wolf Totem; on the other hand, it induces some translation principles. In order to provide reference for more Chinese ecological literature works to go abroad in the future, to satisfy the desire of western scholars to understand Chinese ecological literature, and to give full play to the social function of ecological literature.
