伦理视角下的《狂人日记》译本研究

Research on the Translations of "Diary of a Madman and Other Stories" from the Ethical Perspective

在中国文学的历史长河中,鲁迅先生的创作颇具特色,独树一帜。作为新文化运动主将、著名翻译家和文学家的鲁迅,其作品融会了中西伦理文化的共性与冲突。中西伦理对鲁迅创作思维的影响不容忽视,鲁迅一方面试图用西方新伦理突破中国封建旧伦理的禁锢,另一方面又深受中国传统伦理道德的影响。这种矛盾和交锋在鲁迅作品中时有隐现。作为译者,基于中西不同的伦理观,对鲁迅作品进行翻译时便可能造成信息的缺失,从而导致读者的误读。对比《狂人日记》的两个英文译本,探讨译本中隐含的鲁迅的不同伦理观。从中西伦理契合型和冲突型两个角度分析译者不同的翻译策略,以期促进译本的传播和文化的交流。

In Chinese literature, Mr. Lu Xun＇s stories are characteristic and unique. As a famous translator and chief writer in the New Culture Movement , his stories combined the similarity and conflict of Chinese and Western ethics culture. The impact of Chinese and Western ethics on Lu Xun＇s writing should not be neglected. On one hand, he tried to shake off the old feudalism ethic bonds through the new western ethics; on the other hand, he was deeply influenced by Chinese traditional ethics. The conflicts often appeared in Lu Xun＇s stories. As a translator, different ethic views may result in the loss of original information and the reader~ misunderstanding. Based on the analysis of two different English versions of the ＂Diary of a Madman and Other Stories＂, this paper attempts to probe into different ethic views reflected in the translations and revealed different translation strategies from two ethic perspectives ： conjunction and conflict of Chinese and western ethics.
