叙事冲突视角下葛浩文英译莫言小说叙事流变

Narrative Evolution of Howard Goldblatt’s Translation of Mo Yan’s Novels from the Perspective of Narrative Conflict

Mona Baker(蒙娜·贝克)的叙事性阐释理论揭示了翻译本体叙事与目标语集体叙事和公共叙事的对抗关系。在该理论指导下,通过文本细读和对比分析葛浩文英译莫言小说发现,葛浩文在叙事选材、叙事结构和翻译策略等方面发生了从以归化为主到以异化为主的流变过程,其原因在于翻译叙事在对抗冲突中具有动态性和累积性,在动态叙事累积中传递文化和创造文化。

Mona Baker’s narrative interpretation theory shows that there is antagonistic relation between the ontological narration of source language and the public and the collective narration of the target language.Under the guidance of the theory,through close reading and comparative analysis of the texts,it is found that the translations have changed from domestication to foreignization in the aspects of narrative selection,narrative structure and translation strategies.The reason lies in the dynamic and cumulative nature of translation narration in the narrative conflicts,which transfers culture and creates culture in the accumulation of dynamic narration.
