《红楼梦》英译本中“气”的情感隐喻的类型及翻译

The Strategy and Translation on Emotion Metaphors of “qi” from the English Version of A Dream of Red Mansions

曹雪芹在《红楼梦》中使用了大量的情感隐喻,其翻译直接影响到译文的成功。选取杨宪益夫妇的译本,从认知语言学中概念隐喻的视角,通过对"气"的情感隐喻的确认、分类,概括出情感隐喻在《红楼梦》译本中的三种类型:大多数隐喻是结构隐喻,方位隐喻和实体隐喻使用频率很少。情感隐喻不能直译,大多采用归化的整体翻译策略,在翻译过程中并没有保留原文的情感隐喻,由此总结出情感隐喻的翻译特点。
