从觅母的角度谈异化翻译的趋势

The Trend of Alienation in Translation from the Perspective of Meme

对觅母的生命周期的分析表明,翻译的过程就是将异域觅母复制到本国文化的过程。译者作为宿主,解码以源语言为载体的觅母,并受其感染,再努力将此觅母编码为目标语载体。归化翻译是通过在本国文化中寻找相似的觅母来帮助读者理解异域觅母,在文化接触的早期有其存在的阶段合理性,然而只有努力忠实复制源语文化综合体的异化翻译才是觅母传播的最终趋势。

By introducing and analyzing the lifecycle of meme, the present paper expounds that translation activities are the process of copying an alien meme and then transmitting it to the target culture. The translator, acting as a host who decodes the alien meme with the original language as its vector and is infected by the meme, encodes the meme into the target language vector. Domesticating translation of finding the similar meme in its native culture is an imperative way to copy the meme at the early stage of cultural contact, while alienating translation is the inevitable trend of translation for the sake of faithfully copying the meme complex of the original culture.
