安徒生童话故事在中国的间接译介及其影响

The Indirect Mediations of H. C. Andersen’s Fairy Talesand Their Influences in China

中国读者对安徒生的了解大多仅限于他创作的童话故事,但其实,安徒生除了具有童话作家的身份外,也是欧洲知名诗人、小说家、剧作家以及游记作家。通过考察安徒生童话故事早期中译史,追寻安徒生童话故事进入中国的路径,本研究发现早期译介中的间接翻译和间接解读行为是导致上述片面认识的主要原因。这两种间接译介行为一方面使得安徒生及其作品在中国经历双重文化折射而发生形变,另一方面也使得安徒生作品去丹麦化而趋世界化,为其在世界文学场域中完成经典化奠定了基础。

In China,Hans Christian Andersen is mostly known for his fairy tales.However,in Europe,he is also known as a talented poet,novelist,playwriter and travelogueist.After a close observation on the early translation history of Andersen’s tales in China and the route that they took to reach Chinese readers,it is found that the indirect translating and interpreting are the major factors that have led to those biased and deviated understandings about Andersen and his works.The distortions and stereotypes are forged during the double refraction caused by indirect mediations.Nonetheless,indirect mediations have weakened the Danish features and enriched the internationality of the original texts,which has started the canonization of Andersen’s tales in the field of world literature.
