冰上丝路上的红学:冰岛文《红楼梦》首次译介文本研究

The Redology on the Polar Silk Road:A Study of the First Icelandic Translation of Dream of the Red Chamber

冰上丝绸之路是推进中国与环北冰洋流域国家人文互动的重要倡议。其中,红学扮演着独特角色。随着冰岛《红楼梦》译本的出现,海外红学族系不仅新增添了一个语种文本,而且为深度了解汉学在欧洲传播的脉络途径提供了崭新的视角。不同于北欧其他小语种的转译形态,冰岛译文并非直接源于库恩德译本,而是基于程乙本的中文底本,同时也吸收了“霍克思-闵福德”英译本的诸多元素,以“丝路”的视角辑录于冰岛文汉学经典选集中。冰岛译文虽然较为晚起,却突破了欧陆特别是具有示范性效应的1932年库恩德译本的翻译套路和格局,其处境化的译介策略开辟了北欧跨语际视野下汉学译介与传播的新型范式,对重新评估“中国-北欧”汉学互动的层次性与丰富性提供了宝贵的样本参照。

The Polar Silk Road is a co-operative initiative for deepening humanistic communication between China and Arctic Ocean countries, in which Redology plays a special role. In discovering the Icelandic translation of “Drauminn um rauea herbergie”,Hj?rleifur Sveinbj?rnsson offers a new edition for the Redology thus opening a fresh research field for the study of the Sinology in Scandinavian world. This discovery provides a new perspective for understanding the complicated circulation of this great Chinese novel in Northern Europe. As distant from other translating contexts in Northern countries, the Icelandic translation was not originated from Franz Kuhn’s German version, but instead it is grounded upon Chinese common edition of Chengyi version with absorption of some elements from the English version by David Hawkes and John Minford. Hj?rleifur Sveinbj?rnsson attempts to contextualize the Redology into the Icelandic world by adopting a concise approach. This approach has gone beyond Kuhn’s German paradigm. The islandic translation of Dream of the Red Chamber offers a reference for opening a new approach of cross-cultural communication in the context of the Polar Silk Road.
