高水平学习者英汉翻译过程中的策略分析

为了准确、客观地揭示译者的思维"黑匣子",有声思维法作为重要的实证研究工具,被引入了翻译过程的研究中,并先后催生出国内外一系列研究成果。文章采用这一研究方法,试图通过观察高级、中级水平英语学习者在翻译过程中策略使用的差异,揭示语言水平对于翻译过程的影响。实验表明,不管是在策略使用的多样性上,还是在频率、数量上,高水平英语学习者都优于中等水平英语学习者。此外,高水平学习者在阅读时更善于运用有关策略推测词义和分析原文句法,并在翻译中实现句式转换和准确表达。

In order to reveal the ＂black box＂ of the translators＂ ＂mind＂, the Think Aloud Protocol （TAP） as an important empirical instrument was introduced to the studies of translation process. With the application of this research instrument, this study aims at investigating how language competence will influence translation process through observation of the differences between high-leveled English learners and intermediate-leveled English learners of their strategy usages. The study indicates that the high-leveled English learners are superior in variety, frequency, and to- tal number of strategies used in translation process. Besides, they are more capable of utilizing strategies to infer word meanings, analyzing sentence structures, and accommodating the source text to target text.
