论莎士比亚戏剧文本中意象的汉译

莎剧汉译本的迭出为中国读者重新解读莎剧文本带来了可能性和必要性。在这种跨越时空的解读过程中,以“审美意象”为中介而展开的意象的汉译问题非常值得研究。对不同时期的莎剧汉译本中意象的传递进行审视可以为莎学爱好者和翻译研究者提供一个新的研究视点,即跳出传统的译本研究中过分强调“正误性批评”和“译文优劣”的批评方式的牢笼,透过莎剧复译这一既定的历史现象,解读翻译主体审美心理和文化心态的变迁。

Shakespeare is a classic who is still exciting to readers in modern time and the appeal of his dramas always draws translators to try to reproduce them in other languages. Different Chinese versions of Shakespeare have made it possible and necessary for today's Chinese readers to interpret this world classic across time and space. Since Chinese and English bear a great number of differences in culture and numerous images in Shakespearean dramas convey much cultural information, the translation of those images need engage our special interest. This essay is to investigate the translation of images in three Chinese versions (chronologically rendered by ZHU Sheng hao, LIANG Shi qiu and FANG Ping) so as to witness and understand the transition of aesthetic and cultural psychology of the subject of translation.
