【摘要】：称谓语在人们的日常生活中无处不在，它在国内外学者的研究领域中占有重要的地位。然而，从语用学角度对称谓的研究尚不完整，这些研究主要集中在两方面：1）对某个称谓的词源和发展过程的研究；2）从跨文化角度研究中西称谓体系的异同。对于称谓翻译的研究不是很系统，翻译的标准也不明确。本文利用语言学理论，从人际意义的角度研究称谓的翻译，试图从这个方面建立一个称谓翻译的标准。《红楼梦》中国古典文学的巅峰之作，不仅在中国家喻户晓，被改编为多种艺术形式，在国外也拥有众多读者。作者曹雪芹在作品中创造了400多个人物形象，其中的人际关系错综复杂，因此对于人际意义的研究，《红楼梦》是很理想的素材，因而本文选择了它作为研究材料。本文详细解释了语言学中所提出的人际意义的概念，并系统介绍了中西两种称谓体系。功能语言学认为，人际功能是人类语言的三大元功能之一，它在称谓语上尤其得到体现。在这些理论研究成果的基础上，本文对比和分析了《红楼梦》的两个译本中对于称谓的翻译，，发现即使是优秀译者，在称谓语的翻译上都无可避免地出现了人际意义缺失的现象。通过分析造成该现象的原因，本文得出了称谓的可译性是有限的结论，并且进一步提出了翻译弥补和解决方法，来提高其可译程度。总而言之，本文的写作意图是从语言学角度研究称谓翻译，并给出在翻译实践中一些实用的建议和方法。
[Abstract]:Appellation is ubiquitous in people's daily life and plays an important role in the research field of scholars at home and abroad. However, the study of appellation from the perspective of pragmatics is not complete. These studies mainly focus on two aspects: 1) the etymology and development process of a certain appellation; 2) to study the similarities and differences of Chinese and Western appellation systems from a cross-cultural point of view. The study of appellation translation is not systematic and the standard of translation is not clear. This paper studies the translation of appellation from the angle of interpersonal meaning, and tries to establish a standard for translation of appellation from this aspect. "A Dream of Red Mansions", the pinnacle of Chinese classical literature, is not only widely known in China, but also adapted to various forms of art. Cao Xueqin has created more than 400 characters in his works, in which the interpersonal relationship is complex, so for the study of interpersonal meaning, "Dream of Red Mansions" is a very ideal material. So this paper chooses it as the research material. This paper explains in detail the concept of interpersonal meaning put forward in linguistics, and systematically introduces the two systems of appellations between China and the West. Functional linguistics holds that interpersonal function is one of the three metafunctions of human language. On the basis of these theoretical research results, this paper compares and analyzes the translation of appellation in two versions of A Dream of Red Mansions and finds that even a good translator is a good translator. The phenomenon of loss of interpersonal meaning is inevitable in the translation of appellations. By analyzing the causes of this phenomenon, this paper concludes that the translatability of appellations is limited. Furthermore, the author puts forward translation compensation and solutions to improve the translatability. In a word, the purpose of this thesis is to study address translation from a linguistic point of view. Some practical suggestions and methods in translation practice are also given.
