霍里斯《醉翁亭记》英译本中的隐喻翻译研究

Study of Metaphorical Translation in Herbert A Gile's Verison of The Old Drunkard's Arbour

欧阳修的《醉翁亭记》写得格调清丽,富有诗情画意,在我国文学史上具有很高的艺术价值。许多中外翻译家将其译成英文。但是,对其译本的研究则是少之又少,尤其是对从隐喻角度将其进行分析的研究更是寥寥无几。该文以霍里斯的译本为例,从彼得·纽马克对隐喻的划分去分析译文中的隐喻翻译。指出译文的翻译不仅是两种语言之间的转换,更是功能之间的转换,从而才能使目标语读者产生和源语言相近的感受。

Ou Yangxiu’s The Old Drunkard’s Arbour is of high artistic value in the history of Chinese literature. There are many translators at home and abroad translated his works into English. However, studies on the translated versions are scanty, especial-ly from the perspective of metaphor. This paper analyzes the translation of metaphor in Herbert A Giles’s The Old Drunkard’s Arbour based on Peter · Newmark’s metaphor theory. It points out that translation is not only the transformation between two lan-guages, but also between functions, which can make the target readers have a similar feeling with the original readers.
