【摘要】：近年来政府在推动中国文学外译方面做出了很多努力,但是效果仍然差强人意。大部分学者认为导致中国文学在外遇冷的原因是翻译质量太差,我国缺少一支优秀的中译外队伍。但是这种观点鲜有实证性研究支撑,很少看到对国外读者反馈的调查研究,而读者反应恰恰是直接体现文学译介效果的一项指标。本文通过详细考察《中国文学》发行50年间的读者群及其评论,发现制约翻译文学读者反应的因素主要包括译介目的、作品选择和翻译策略,而这些又受国家外交关系、主流意识形态和诗学的影响。因此,文学外译不仅受翻译质量影响,还受到源语国家生产环境和译语国家接受环境的双重制约。
[Abstract]:In recent years, the government has made a lot of efforts to promote the translation of Chinese literature, but the effect is still unsatisfactory. Most scholars believe that the reason why Chinese literature is not as expected is the poor quality of translation and the lack of an excellent team of Chinese and foreign translators. However, this view is seldom supported by empirical research, and seldom sees the investigation and study of foreign readers' feedback, and the reader's response is precisely an index that directly reflects the effect of literary translation. Based on a detailed review of the readers and their comments during the 50 years of the publication of Chinese Literature, this paper finds that the factors that restrict the readers' response to translation literature include the purpose of translation, the selection of works and the translation strategies, which are subject to the diplomatic relations of the state. The influence of mainstream ideology and poetics. Therefore, literary translation is influenced not only by the quality of translation, but also by the production environment of the source country and the reception environment of the target country.
