Eco-translatology of Translating Culture-loaded Words from the Aspect of Three-dimensional Transformations——A Case Study of Lin Yutang's English Version of Six Chapters of a Floating Life

文化负载词的翻译是译界的一大难题。从生态翻译学的视角出发,对林语堂英译《浮生六计》的文化负载词的翻译进行分析,指出译者为了使译文最大限度地接近原文的效果,可以大胆借鉴生态翻译学"三维"转换理论,在充分把握文化负载词翻译的整体生态环境的前提下,从语言维、文化维、交际维保留文化负载词的语义形式,文化内涵,交际意图,力求得出"整合适应选择度"最高的译文。

The translation of culture-loaded words constitutes a big challenge for translators. This paper analyzes translation of culture-loaded words in Lin Yutang’s English Version of Six Chapters of a Floating Life from the perspective of eco-translatology. It points out that in translating culture-loaded words, the translator can use the translation theory of eco-translatology to achieve the maximal equivalence between the original text and the translated text. The translator should keep the whole culture-loaded words translational eco-environment in view and focus on three-dimensional transformations, namely the linguistic, cultural and communicative dimensional transformations to produce the translated text with the highest“degree of holistic adaptation and selection”.
