深度翻译视角下舌诊典籍英译本内副文本研究

Study of the Peritext in the English Version of Tongue Diagnosis Classics from the Perspective of Thick Translation

希腊中医研究专家Ioannis Solos(秦济成)所译的Gold Mirrors and Tongue Reflections是目前已知的唯一一部舌诊典籍外译译本,他将《敖氏伤寒金镜录》与《伤寒舌鉴》这两本舌诊专著作为一个体系共同译介,译文具有鲜明的深度翻译特色。在深度翻译视角之下,通过对其内副文本(peritext)的研究,发现译者通过文内深度翻译与文外深度翻译多种注解形式的结合,为读者提供了深度语境化、阅读流畅的厚译本,赋予了译本梳理理论体系、推动文化交流及打造学术译本这三种功能,对此后的中医典籍外译具有一定的参考价值。

Gold Mirrors and Tongue Reflections,translated by Ioannis Solos,a Greek Chinese medicine expert,is currently the only known foreign-language version of the classics of tongue diagnosis.He translated the two monographs on tongue diagnosis,Scholar Ao's Gold Mirror Records in Cold Damage and Tongue Reflection in Cold Damage,as a holistic system in one book.His version exhibits distinct features of Thick Translation.Under the perspective of Thick Translation and through the study of its peritext,it is found that the translator provides the reader with deep contextualization and a smooth reading experience of the“thick”version through a combination of various annotation forms,including in-text thick translation and out-of-text thick translation.His adoption of the strategy of thick translation imbues the work with three essential functions:sorting out the theoretical system,promoting cultural exchange,and creating an academic translation.It holds reference value for future translations of classical Chinese medicine texts.
