从语言映象象似性看英诗汉译的诗形移植

On the Form Transplant in Translating English Poems from the Perspective of Imagic Iconicity

国内译界在文学翻译中一直存在重"神"而轻"形"的倾向,然而根据语言映象象似性理论,依据听觉、视觉形成的语言形式和内容之间存在着映射关系。就英文诗歌而言,这主要表现为主题与作品在语音象征、韵式、格律、语相和篇章等五个方面存在一一对应关系,从这个意义上说,诗歌之"形"与主题是密不可分的。因此,在翻译这类文体时,对这些形式层面的因素也应当给予充分的认识,不可过于轻"形"。

There has been a tendency among the domestic translation circle that ＂spirit＂ outweighs ＂form＂ in translating literature works.By imagic iconicity,however,between the language form and its content it exists a mapping relation.In English poems it manifests as themes correspond to their forms in such five aspects as phonaesthesia,rhyme,meter,graphology and text,which should be thoroughly appreciated by translators.
