论赤松的寒山诗翻译对经典的建构

韦努蒂的"阐释模式"认为,翻译是通过解释项体现的阐释。本文在"阐释模式"观照下,探讨赤松《寒山诗歌集》重译本对寒山诗歌形式和主题项的重新阐释及其对寒山诗经典地位的建构作用。寒山诗语言艺术形式及其丰富的禅宗意蕴,构成独特的诗歌艺术特质,为翻译提供了丰富的解释项。赤松的重译本通过对形式和主题解释项的再选择,禅诗禅释,回归超脱忘我的禅宗本源。由此可见,赤松在译入语文化背景下对寒山作品禅宗意趣的深入阐释进一步彰显了寒山诗的禅诗文化身份,从而有力重新建构了它的经典地位。

Venuti's hermeneutic model of translation sees all translation as interpretations of source text enabled by different interpretants.This paper aims to explore Bill Porter’s reconstruction of Cold Mountain poems as canonical texts by applying different formal and thematic interpretants.The distinctive artistic style and profound Chan implications of Cold Mountain poetry allow a variety of interpretations and thus a canonical reconstruction with emphasis on the implied Chan philosophies.The article concludes by suggesting that Bill Porter's reinterpretations of the Chan conception in the poetological and cultural contexts of the host culture highlight the cultural identity of Cold Mountain poems as Chan poetry,and thus become the major reconstructive force in renewing the canon.
