畅销书译介中翻译主体的文化操控

Cultural Manipulation of the Translation Subjects in the Translation of Bestsellers

基于顺应论框架的宽式翻译过程,认为翻译主体包括译者、出版社、编辑等多元主体。以育儿图书Confessions of a Scary Mommy的汉译为例,探讨各主体为顺应目的语语境的文化、社会、市场等因素对文本的操控。这种操控表现在三个方面:文本选择时出版社的市场顺应、文本翻译时译者的文化过滤及译本审校时编辑的修补完善。

According to the free translation of the adaptation theory,the translation subjects include the translator,the press and the editor.Take the Chinese translation of Confessions of a Scary Mommy as an example,this paper discusses the manipulation of the text by the three subjects to adapt to the cultural,social,and market context of the target language,which are reflected in the market adaption of the press in selecting the text,the cultural filtering of translator in translating the text,and the reviewing of the editors in editing the text.
