秦腔剧本英译的多模态化与意义重构--以《杨门女将》英译本为例

Multimodality and reconstruction of meaning of Qinqiang libretto translation:A case study of Women Generals of the Yangs libretto translation

随着近十年来多模态话语分析的兴起,研究者开始关注多模态文本的研究。多模态语篇是一种融合了多种交流模态(如声音、颜色、文字等)来传递信息的语篇。秦腔作为中国戏剧的一大分支,其剧本是集表演性、文学性、音乐性于一身的动态多模态语篇。秦腔剧本英译过程须关注对非语言模态的分析,考量模态间关系的一致性和模态间相互协调,完成英译的意义重构,解决秦腔剧本英译缺少多模态化以及无法完成整体意义建构的问题。

Since the thriving of multimodal discourse analysis in the last decade,many researchers started to pay attention to multimodal texts.Multimodal discourse is the use of several modes to do communication,such as sounds,colors and words.Qinqiang librettos should be a kind of dynamic multimodal texts integrating performance,literariness and musicality.In the process of translating Qinqiang librettos into English,the analysis of non-language modes should be emphasized,and the consistency of the relations between modes should be considered so that every mode can match well with each other and reconstruction of meaning of Qinqiang libretto translation can be completed.The purpose of this study is to solve the problem which is lack of multimodal analysis and the inability to focus on the overall meaning during the process of the Qinqiang libretto translation.
