从变译理论看外国人名在海峡两岸汉语中的音译变异

A Study on the English-Chinese Transliteration of Foreign Names across the Straits based on the Translation Variation Theory

两岸汉语都倾向于使用改译和编译的方法来应对英语人名中独有的音位和语音结构．以使其适应现代汉语的音系特征。但是，大陆普通话更多地使用编译（增）的方法，台湾国语则更多地使用编译（减）的方法。两者的差异是国人在不同历史阶段文化心理的反应。就英语母语者的心理感知而言，大陆音译因较多地使用编译（增）的方法使其比台湾音译与输出语更为接近。研究表明，语音结构和文化心理能影响音译的结果，在进行语音改译时，要尽量避免汉语独有的特色音位。

Both of the Mainland Chinese and Taiwan Chinese apply the edited translation and translation plus rewriting methods to deal with English unique phonological structures. However, the Mainland Chinese prefers edited translation （epenthesis） method and the Taiwan Chinese prefers edited translation （deletion） method. This difference shows that Chinese people＂ at two sides bear different cultural psychology in history. English native speakers＂ psychological awareness reveals that they prefer the edited translation （epenthesis） method and give a higher evaluation on mainland transliteration. The research shows that the translation variation methods have a close relationship with syllabic structure and cultural psychology. Those Chinese unique phonemes should be avoided in the translation nlus rewritinz nrocess.
