《葬花吟》英译的评价研究

The Appraisal Study of“The Song of Burying the Fallen Flowers”

本文基于马丁的评价理论,对评价资源在原诗和译诗《葬花吟》中的分布情况进行统计分析,并解释所表达的评价意义。研究发现:(1)译诗的正面情感表达有所增加,与原作社会背景和西方的意识形态有关;裁决资源在句式上从情感资源和鉴赏资源进行了补偿;鉴赏资源译诗质量使用最多,这和诗歌的文体特征有关;(2)介入系统译文删减原文借言资源,典故翻译的缺失体现了异语文化的差异;(3)级差系统译文减少原文语势与聚焦程度,淡化原文主观情绪强度。本文旨在从评价理论角度评析《葬花吟》两个英译本,考察其在翻译实践中的具体应用,拓展翻译研究思路。
