基于图形-背景理论的《再别康桥》两译本评析

An Analysis of Two Translated Verisions of Second Farewell to Cambridge Based on the Figure and Ground Theory

图形-背景理论是认知语言学中的重要理论之一。它起源于完形心理学中的形基知觉,后来主要用于研究语言结构,是语言组织概念内容的一个基本认知原则。本文首先简要概括了图形-背景理论的主要内容,接着从该理论出发,以诗歌主题及意象为焦点,以句子翻译为切入点,对著名诗人徐志摩的经典之作《再别康桥》两译本进行对比分析,旨在揭示二者在翻译原诗意象及主题的传达上有何异同,从而加深读者对诗歌的解读。
