从等效原则看翻译中的信息转换

Information Shift in Translation in Light of Functional Equivalence Principle

翻译是把一种语言(原语)所表达的信息转换成另一种语言(译语)的信息的活动。由于英汉语分属不同的语系,在双语转换过程中,必须越过语言和文化间的差异,进行必要的信息调整,才能有效地传递信息。本文以奈达的等效翻译原则为依据,论述实用信息、文化信息、风格信息和形象信息在翻译中的转换。

Translation is a process in which information is transmitted from the source language into the target language. In the Chinese and English languages that respectively belong to different families, necessary information adjustment is essential for effective transmission of information in the bilingual transfer process in spite of the differences in the languages and cultures. This paper, in light of Nida＇s translation principle of functional equivalence, focuses on the shift of practicability informa- tion, culture information, style information and image information in the process of translation.
