葛浩文英译《呼兰河传》地理空间的再地方化

Reterritorialization of Geo-Space in Tales of Hulan River Translated by Howard Goldblatt

萧红《呼兰河传》既是地方性中国文学,又体现出中国文学的地域性。本文从翻译地理学视角探讨了美国汉学家葛浩文对《呼兰河传》文化地理空间的跨语际再现。葛浩文采取直译、淡化、释义法移植呼兰小城的地理景观,运用直译、简化法重塑原文地理感知,使用浓缩、直译法传达萧红的恋地情节,从而实现了呼兰小城地理空间的再地方化。本文亦思考了当下中国文学外译过程中地理空间元素乃至民族身份的传译。

Xiao Hong’s Tales of Hulan River is a book with local distinctions,and it reflects the regional nature of Chinese literature.From the perspective of translation geography,this paper discusses the reconstruction of geographical space of the book translated by an American sinologist Howard Goldblatt.To be specific,he adopts the methods of literal translation,dilution and interpretation to transform the geographical landscape of Hulan,the methods of literal translation and simplification to reproduce the geographical perception of the original text reader,the methods of concentration and literal translation to recreate topophilia of Xiao Hong.The adoption of those methods realizes the reterritorialization of the source text’s geo-space,the geographical perception and the topophilia in the target cultural system.To this end,the paper further articulates the rendering of local distinctions and national identity in Chinese literature.
