摘要
古代成语高度浓缩了中国传统文化语境,言简义丰,内部语法关系复杂。《庄子》中的成语翻译是该部经典译介的难点之一。本文依托功能语境理论,从上下文语境、情景语境、文化语境三个层面切入,分析汪榕培《庄子》英译本对实用成语的跨时空语境重构的策略及特点。通过定量和定性相结合的研究方法,发现在成语的跨时空语境重构上,汪译本较好地兼顾了《庄子》中成语的表意、修辞效果与文化内涵,体现了《庄子》蕴含着的丰富思想。
Ancient Chinese idioms are characterized by the culturally-contextualized implications,concise diction and complex grammatical patterns.Introducing the idioms in Zhuangzi into English appropriately consists of one of the challenges encountered in the translation of this classic.The paper aims to conduct a functional context-based analysis featuring the strategies for reconstructing the co-textual context,situational context and culture-specific context of idioms in Wang Rongpei’s English translation of Zhuangzi.With the quantitative and qualitative analysis,this paper concludes that Wang Rongpei’s English version produces a good version of the original idioms in terms of sense,rhetorical features and cultural connotations of the idiomatic expressions.
