主位系统视角下的译入译出文本风格对比研究

A Comparative Study of Thematic Structure and Thematic Progression in L1 and L2 Translations

本研究考察了《荷塘月色》四个英译文在不同翻译方向上主位结构和主位推进的差异,以期从语篇层面区分译入译出文本风格。研究发现:1.在语篇主位上,译入文本使用更多连词,而译出文本选择将连接副词置于句首,省略连词;2.在主位推进模式上,线性模式在不同翻译方向文本中均占主导。但不同的是,译出文本中平行模式比例升高。本文试从译者母语背景和目标语激活程度进行解释。

This study compares Thematic Structure and Thematic Progression of four translations, rendered by two L1 and two L2 translators, of Moonlight on the Lotus Pond, in an attempt to investigate whether there are any differences in thematic structure and thematic progression between translations of two opposite directions. The results show that in the thematic structure, the L1 translation uses more conjunctions, while the L2 translation chooses to place the adverb at the beginning of the sentence and omits the conjunction;and in the thematic progression, the linear mode dominates in different translation directions. But the difference is that the proportion of parallel patterns in the L2 translation increases. This paper attempts to explain from the translator’s mother tongue and target language activation level.
