接受理论视域下《三体》四字成语的英译策略
发布时间：2021-07-23 04:13
《三体》英文版获得雨果奖最佳长篇小说证明了其文学创作及翻译均得到了读者的认同。该书之所以受读者青睐,要归功于其中国科幻及出色的翻译。而成语既具浓厚中国色彩,又是翻译难题,因此研究《三体》的翻译不应该忽略对其成语的研究。根据中国知网的数据,目前国内有研究《三体》翻译的论文约51篇,其中32篇谈及成语的翻译,涉及34个成语。但至于这些成语在总成语数中所占比例如何,翻译策略有何倾向,以上论文均不能给出答案。针对上述问题,作者决定运用接受理论,结合文本分析、个案研究及描述统计,总结出《三体》中四字成语的翻译策略,以及读者对该策略的接受情况。为此,基于接受理论,作者设计了两个研究问题:（1）《三体》四字成语翻译中所使用的各种策略及方法的比例是多少?（2）读者对翻译策略之比的接受情况如何?通过分析《三体》全部250个四字成语分布在全书中351处的原文和译文,作者发现:（1）这些成语的英译主要采取归化、异化的翻译策略;其中归化采用的翻译方法有意译（占全部351个案例的55.84%%）、用英语成语代替（3.70%）、省略（5.13%）、适应目的语文化的改写（0.28%）,异化采用的翻译方法有直译（34...
