《西游记》英译本在英美的文化传播

Cultural Communication of Journey to the West in Britain and America

《西游记》英译本为"中国文化走出去"发挥了不可估量的作用,其在英美的传播经历了从简本的文化缺失到全本的文化专注的发展过程,说明《西游记》英译本的文化传播应以中西合作为基础。随着译学的"文化转向"和跨文化交流的推进,中西合作已成《西游记》英译的必然选项,从而推动"文化相通"。

The English translation of Journey to the West plays an immeasurable role in ＂introducing the Chinese culture to the west＂, but the shift from cultural default of abridged translation to cultural concentration of complete translation in cultural communication of the book in Britain and America tells that such cultural communication depends on Sino-English cooperation. With the development of cross-cultural communication and ＂cultural turn＂ in translation studies, Sino-English cooperation has been a must in the translation of the book and it will promote ＂cultural communication＂.
