用归化策略来英译汉语语气词

On Translation of Chinese Modal Particle into English Through Domestication.

翻译是跨文化的信息交流,在处理文化因素时,译者可以通过两种策略,即归化(adaptation)和异化(for- eignization),对意义真空进行翻译补偿。归化是以译语文化为归宿,用译语文化身份的表达方式取代源语文化身份的表达方式。语气词的使用在汉语中比较常见,其本身并无什么实际的词义。由于英语中某些语气词的缺失,汉语语气词的英译尽可能通过归化的策略来体现。本文论述了如何用归化策略英译汉语语气词的两种方法。
