接受美学视角下对《哈姆雷特》两中译本的研究

接受美学把文本当作一种交流媒介,重视读者的阅读过程,这与翻译理论中的目的论的特定论述不谋而合。特别是接受美学提出的读者期待视野对于翻译理论和实践具有启示意义,是评价翻译文本的一个重要视角。姚斯等理论家认为文学作品的价值主要体现在具体读者的阅读阐释过程,强调文本契合读者期待的重要性。从这个视角分析翻译文本会让我们对翻译文学作品有新的认识,因此本文考察莎士比亚中文译本对读者期待视野的重视情况,主要从语言层面和翻译技巧层面比较朱生豪和卞之琳所译的《哈姆莱特》,从而分析两种翻译文本在何种程度上达成了与目的语读者期待视野的契合。

Regarding textual analysis as a mode of communication,reception theory emphasizes particular readers'reading process,which coincides with certain assumptions in the skopos theory of translation studies.Especially,horizon of expectation is suggestive to translation theory and practice,and provides an insightful perspective for textual analysis of translation.As Hans-Robert Jauss and other theories proposed,the meaning of literary text relies on audience's reading process,stressing the significance of textual compliance to the reader's expectation.Seen from this perspective,we come up with a new understanding of literary text in translation.This study explores how Chinese translations of Shakespeare reach such horizon by focusing on Zhu Shenghao's and Bian Zhilin's translations of Hamlet,and analyzes how the Chinese texts meet the target audience's expectation through comparing their linguistic features and translation strategies.
