宇文所安唐诗专名翻译的“名”与“实”

The “Name” and “Nature” of the Proper Nouns in Stephen Owen’s Translation of Tang Poetry

专名翻译是近年来翻译界的热门话题之一。专名不仅是唐诗的文化因子,也是中国文化的名片。学界对唐诗中的专名翻译研究有所讨论,但几乎没有涉及汉学家宇文所安的专名翻译。本文通过考察宇文所安专名翻译中的"名"副其"实"、"名"与"实"的转化、"名"不副"实",以探讨翻译"名"与"实"背后译者的文化认同、文化阐释和文化变异之间的关系。宇文所安的唐诗专名翻译不仅为其唐诗解析提供物质基础,而且也为中国文学和当代社会生活的专名翻译提供有益的启示。

Proper noun translation is one of the most heatedly discussed topics in the translation studies in the recent years.The proper noun is not only the cultural factor of Tang poetry,but also the name card of Chinese culture.The translation circle has discussed some proper noun translation of Tang poetry,but has almost not touched upon Stephen Owen's proper noun translation.This paper tries to explore the translator's cultural identity,interpretation and variation behind the relationship between the name and the nature of translation,through the discussion of translation consistency of "name" with "nature",shift of "name" into "nature" and inconsistency of "name" with "nature".Owen's proper name translation works as the substantial basis for his Tang poetry interpretation,also it is helpful to the proper noun translation in both Chinese literature and the social life.
