论《关雎》英译的解构主义视角

On the Translation of "Guan Ju" from the Perspective of Deconstruction

本文作者从解构主义视角对理雅各、韦利、许渊冲和汪榕培与任秀桦等人所译的《关雎》四种不同英文译本中选取的部分内容进行了比较分析与研究。四种译本的风格韵味各有不同,首先表明了译者本人不可避免要受到自身所处时代社会政治经济生活环境和自我身份以及其他因素的影响。任何译者要想将原文《关雎》作为绝对标准而在译文中完全再现是不可能的,因为每位译者都会无一例外地根据自己对《关雎》的解读来进行翻译操作,从而在译入语文本之中"延异"出《关雎》原作的新生命。

The authors of this thesis conduct the analysis over the four respective English versions by Legge,Waley,Xu Yuanchong and Wang Rongpei Ren Xiuhua from the perspective of deconstruction.The four different versions present varied stylistic features and touches of flavor,showing that,first of all,the translator is the performer of the translation behavior with individual ideas and emotions which are inevitably influenced by the translator＇s personal identity,the time and the society s/he is in,contemporary politics and other factors.It would be impossible for any translator to restore Shijing in the translated version with the original being the absolute standard;for each translator would unexceptionally approach to the Shijing translation with his/her own understanding and interpretation,providing continuous ＂différance＂ in the form of new life of the original Shijing in the target language versions.
