“评价等效”视域下“习式”讲演辞的英译研究——以习近平抗疫国际讲话为例

On the Translation of “Xi Style” Speeches from the Perspective of “Appraisal Equivalence”——A Case Study of Xi Jinping’s International Speeches on Fighting COVID-19

党的十八大以来,习近平话语成为学界研究热点。本文以国家主席习近平抗击新冠疫情国际讲话为研究对象,运用评价理论分析其话语态度是否有效地传达。结果表明,原文的态度、立场等大多完整地再现于译文中,个别偏离案例主要表现为评价类型或评价力度的变化,且多为有意改写以弥合语言以及文化差异,译文整体未改变原文中的评价意义,实现了评价等效。本研究对外交话语的态度传译具有参考价值,并为外宣翻译研究与实践提供镜鉴。

Since the 18^(th) National Congress of the CPC,Xi’ s discourse has become a research focus in the academic circle. Based on"Appraisal Theory",the paper analyzes the transmission of Xi’ s attitude resources contained in his international speeches and their English versions on fighting COVID-19. It is found that most attitude resources are fully reproduced in the translations and a few translating deviations occur in type and intensity as intentional rewritings for bridging the language and cultural differences. Thus, appraisal equivalence has been achieved since the translations are equivalent in attitude resources to the original. The findings may provide reference for diplomatic discourse translation as well as international publicity translation.
