中韩电影字幕翻译的明晰化特征——以明晰化和句长变化为中心

Explicitation Characteristic of Film Subtitle Translation from Chinese to Korean—Centering on Explicitation and the Change in Sentence Length

电影作为一种承载各国固有文化的载体,在国际化背景下已成为了解他国文化的重要途经之一。本文通过分析中国电影《北京遇上西雅图》的韩文字幕,探讨了具有与一般翻译文本不同特点的电影字幕翻译文本的明晰化特征,分析了明晰化的频率和明晰化导致的句长变化。本文根据Séguinot提出的三种明晰化类型,把翻译策略细分为8种,分析结果显示,明晰化比率为36%,因明晰化句子变短的比率为84%,发现中韩电影字幕翻译文本的明晰化特征不同于一般翻译文本。即,中韩电影字幕翻译显示的明晰化导致句长缩短,本文将这一特征规定为中韩电影字幕翻译固有的明晰化特征。
