霍译《红楼梦》中的整合补偿及其对译文风格的影响

On the Integrated Compensation in Hong Lou Meng Translated by David Hawkes and Its Stylistic Impact on the Translation

整合补偿是一种特殊的翻译补偿,指把所补内容不露痕迹地化在译文当中。霍译《红楼梦》中的整合补偿不计其数,本文对之进行研究,把其大致分为3类,即语言上的整合补偿、文化上的整合补偿和诗学上的整合补偿,发现此类补偿有利于增强译文的可读性和可理解性,对译文读者负责,同时又能尊重原作和原语文化。但整合补偿的大量运用使霍译的风格整体上呈现出趋繁的特征,即把原文相对简约的风格变成了译文的繁丰。

Integrated compensation is a kind of translational compensation,referring to instances in which what is compensated is integrated into the translation imperceptibly.Since David Hawkes’ translation of Hong Lou Meng is full ofintegrated compensation,this paper takes it as research object and divides integrated compensation into three kinds,namely linguistic integrated compensation,cultural integrated compensation and poetical integrated compensation.It is found that integrated compensation is instrumental in enhancing the readability and understandability of the translation,giving priority to the target readers,and respecting the original text and source culture at the same time.However,due to the somewhat excessive employment ofintegrated compensation in Hawkes’ translation,its overall style takes on the tendency of becoming amplified,that is to say the relative simplicity of the original text is changed into the amplitude of the translation.
