“诗体译莎”的诗学解读:孙大雨音组理论再思考

Sun Dayu’s Poetic Translation of Shakespearean Plays:A Critique

孙大雨因其提出“音组理论”翻译莎士比亚的诗剧,在中国被称为“诗体译莎第一人”。一直以来,“诗体译莎”都被学界公认为是翻译莎士比亚诗剧的主要范式之一。然而,通过对孙大雨“诗体”和“音组理论”进行翻译学与诗学角度的考察,本文认为,孙大雨的“诗体”与莎剧原诗是否真的实现了“诗体”对应,尚需做进一步反思;其次,孙大雨的“音组理论”是否具有足够的诗学理据,也需要做进一步探讨。

Owing to his“phonological group theory”and his poetic rendering of Shakespeare’s plays guided by this theory,Sun Dayu has been acknowledged as“the first person to do poetic translation of Shakespearean drama”in China and his approach has been widely accepted as a major paradigm for translating Shakespeare’s works.A reexamination of Sun Dayu from a perspective that draws simultaneously on Translation Studies and poetics,however,calls into question both his theory and his translational practice.At issue are whether Sun’s“poetic translations”really correspond to their originals and whether his“phonological group theory”has indeed a solid theoretical basis in poetics.
