论异化译文的可接受性

On the Acceptability of Foreignizing Translation

异化翻译和归化翻译是两种翻译策略。如何避免异化过度,是学者们关心的话题。从译文可接受性的概念入手,对异化和伪异化进行界定,认为异化是可接受的,而伪异化是不可接受的。通过深入分析评判异化译文可接受性的主要参考因素:读者对象、文化因素和可理解性,得出如下结论:异化译文的可接受性是相对的,而不是绝对的;它具有动态性特点,会因人因时而异。研究异化译文可接受性可为异化翻译提供理论指导。

Foreiguizing translation and domesticating translation are two translation strategies. How to avoid excessive alienation is a topic of concern among scholars. From the concept of translation acceptability, this paper defines the scope of foreiguization and the pseudo foreignization, believing that foreiguization is acceptable, while the pseudo-foreiguization is unacceptable. Through in-depth analysis of the main reference factors of foreiguizing translation acceptability： audience, cultural factors and comprehensibility, it draws the following conclusions that foreiguizing translation acceptability is relative, not absolute; it has dynamic characteristics, varying over time and person. To study the ac- ceptability of foreignizing translation can provide theoretical guidance for foreignizing translation.
