民族志诗学视角下毛泽东诗词英译本的民族文化呈现研究

A Study of Ethnic Culture Presentation of Mao's Poetry in English Translation:An Ethnographic Poetics Perspective

从民族志诗学视角,基于许渊冲诗歌翻译“意美、音美、形美”的“三美”论,遵循对民族文化的包容和理解原则,分析毛泽东诗词英译本的民族文化呈现。对《许渊冲英译毛泽东诗词》这一毛泽东诗词英译本的文本微观分析发现:“许译本”的民族文化呈现主要体现在词牌名和民谣的翻译层面,具有继承性、民族性和包容性特征,传递鲜明的民族语言音响效果和表演特征,凸显语言和情感张力,对于地域知识和全球概念、民族文化和他族文化等概念对子之间的界限具有一定的消解性。

Based on ethnographic poetics,in view of the“three-beauty”principle of Xu Yuanchong s poetry translation as well as the notion of tolerance and understanding of ethnic culture,this paper analyzes the ethnic culture presentation in English translation of Mao Zedong's poetry.Through content analysis of Xu Yuanchong's English translation of Mao's poetry,it is found that the ethnic culture presentation of“Xu s translation”is mainly reflected in the translation of tune names and folk songs in terms of inheritance,ethnicity and inclusiveness,conveying distinctive ethnic language acoustics and intense performance characteristics,which has some dissolving effects on the boundaries between regional knowledge and global concepts,in-group ethnic culture and out-group cultures.
