翻译伦理视角下戴乃迭的译者主体性探究——以《阿诗玛》的英译为例

On the Translator's Ethics of Gladys Yang under the Multicultural Identity: Taking the English Version of Ashima as an Example

文章以《阿诗玛》英译本为例,通过分析翻译伦理视角下戴乃迭如何进行五种翻译伦理的选择,从而对其译者主体性进行探究。研究发现,戴乃迭在翻译时选择性地遵守了再现的伦理、基于规范的伦理和交际的伦理,这样的选择体现了她注重原文文化的再现和译文读者的理解。进一步分析发现,戴乃迭的翻译更多体现的是对中国文化的认同。此外,戴乃迭选择翻译《阿诗玛》也体现了其作为女性译者对男女平等问题的关注。

Taking the English version of Ashima as an example, this paper explores the translator' s subjectivity by analyzing how Gladys Yang make choices between five ethical models of translation. It is found that Gladys selectively abides by ethics of representation, norm-based ethics and ethics of communicative in the version, which reflects her recognition of Chinese and Western cultures. Further analysis reveals that despite of the two culture identities, Gladys Yang emphasizes more on Chinese culture than the west. Besides, Glays' choice to translate Ashima also reflects her concern for gender equality as a female translator.
