基于平行语料库的汉译英中连词显化的研究

A Parallel Corpus-based Study of Connective Explicitation

以《英译中国经典散文选》平行语料库为研究基础、以《家》《中国政府工作报告》以及《中国国防白皮书》三个平行语料库为参照对象,借助语料库翻译学的研究方法,运用Ant Conc等工具,对汉英翻译中的连词显化现象予以研究。通过卡方检验和对比分析,对不同体裁中连词的显化及其归因进行探索。研究发现:(1)不同体裁中连词的使用频率具有显著性差异;(2)同一体裁中的连词使用总量不具有显著性差异,但具体连词的使用频率具有显著性差异;(3)造成译文连词显化程度增强的因素不仅涉及文化和语言问题,也涉及翻译者的个性与风格,与翻译活动自身的复杂性也密切相关。

Based on four self-built parallel corpora,including Selected Works Of Classical Chinese Prose,Chinese Government Report（ 2010—2016）,The Family and China＇s National Defense（ 2008—2016）,and by means of Ant Conc and Transmate and so on,the paper makes a contrastive study of the connective explicitation,between SL and TL,between the works of the same styles and between the works of different styles. The result shows that：（ 1） the frequency of the connectives in TL is much higher than that in SL because of the apparent explicitation;（ 2） the connective explicitation is influenced by different genres;（ 3） many factors,for example,language and culture,pragmatic considerations,personal style,complexity of translation,have led to the connective explicitation of E-C translations.
