寇志明《诗人鲁迅:关于其旧体诗的研究》中典故的英译策略研究

A Study on the Chinese-English Translation Strategies of Allusions in Jon Eugene Von Kowallis′s The Lyrical Lu Xun:A Study of His Classical-Style Verse

在中国古典诗词中,典故的运用为诗歌创造了独特的修辞和审美效果,但由于其丰富的文化特性,在具体的翻译实践中常常会造成难以避免的文化缺失和冲突,从而增加了诗词翻译的难度。因此,考虑到读者的可接受性,选择合适的英译策略是译者翻译典故的关键。本文以寇志明英译版鲁迅旧体诗为研究对象,从汉语古诗英译策略的理论出发,探究译者在翻译典故时为弥补文化差异而采用的有效英译策略。

In Chinese classical poetry,the use of allusions has created unique rhetorical and aesthetic effects for poetry.However,due to its rich cultural characteristics,it often leads to unavoidable cultural default and cultural conflicts in specific translation practice,which increases the difficulty of poetry translation.Therefore,in consideration of the acceptability of readers,choosing appropriate Chinese-English translation strategies is the key for translators to translate allusions.Based on the theory of Chinese-English translation strategies of ancient Chinese poetry,this paper,taking Jon Eugene von Kowallis′s English version of Lu Xun′s classical-style verses as the research object,explores the effective translation strategies adopted by translators to make up for cultural differences in the translation of allusions.
