功能对等理论视阈下《甄嬛传》字幕翻译研究

A Study on the Subtitle Translation of Empresses in the Palace from the Perspective of Functional Equivalence

《甄嬛传》作为国产影视剧的优秀之作,其英译字幕版的部分翻译饱受中国观众的批评与指责。美国著名翻译理论家尤金·奈达提出的功能对等理论重视读者反应,提出评判译文质量的标准是原文读者对原文的反应与译文读者对译文的反应的相似程度的高低。本文在功能对等理论指导下,提出了对剧中称谓语翻译的三个技巧:保留、替代、显化。

As an excellent home-made TV series,the English version of Empresses in the Palaceis a far cry from the Chinese one with some subtitle translation being criticized by the Chinese audiences.Functional equivalence of Eugene Nida prioritizes the reader's response rather than the text-centered translation and evaluates the translation based on the similarity of the reader's response between source and target receivers.Under the guidance of functional equivalence theory,the articleproposes three translation techniques for the translation of addressing terms:preservation,substitution and explicitation.
