认知诗学视域下的诗歌翻译批评——以《静夜思》为例

Poetry Translation Criticism from the Perspective of Cognitive Poetics: A case study of Jingyesi

认知诗学是认知语言学与文学赏析相结合的新兴学科。认知诗学研究旨在解释读者的阅读过程和文本意义的生成过程。翻译学研究可以借鉴认知诗学的理论和方法,用于翻译文本的阅读和批评,解释翻译作品的读者接受过程,为译本比较研究拓展新的视域。该文以《静夜思》的八个英译本为案例,应用认知诗学的图形/背景理论和方法解读译文。研究表明,不同译文的图形/背景分离情况与原诗都有差异,体现了不同译者在翻译过程中独特的认知过程。

This paper examines how insights from Cognitive Poetics can be applied to Translation Studies.In particular,it shows how to analyze and explain the effects of translated poems in terms of figure/ground theory.A discussion of three types of figure/ground segregation with respect of narrative points illustrates the differences of translators'cognitive processes.
