徽州古民居厅堂联的语体风格及翻译策略的选择——以西递、宏村古建筑遗存楹联为例

On language style of Chinese couplets in halls of Huizhou old folk houses and choice of strategies on Chinese-English translation——taking couplets in Xidi and Hong Cun for example

通过对徽州古民居厅堂联语体风格的分析,对照纽马克语义翻译和交际翻译原则进行了一系列的翻译实践活动,采取以重音音韵形式进行音形的移植、以形象移植转换法达到译文意境的传神和以语义翻译、注释法传递文化内涵等翻译策略,力求从音、形、意三个方面再现徽州楹联的语言特色和文化内涵。

Based on the principles of semantic translation and communicative translation advanced by Peter Newmark and analysis of language style of Chinese couplets in halls of Huizhou old folk houses,the paper conducts a series of practice to translate these couplets into English in an effort to reveal the features of language and cultural connotations from three aspects of rhyme,form and meaning.The following translation strategies are adopted： transplant of rhymes and forms with regular stressed rhymes;transmission of cultural connotations through semantic translation and annotation;expression of a work of art through imagery transfer and imagery transformation.
