《呐喊》三个英译本中文化专有项英译策略比较研究

A Contrastive Study of Strategies for Translating Culture—Specific Items in the Three English Versions of Nahan

本文基于自建语料库对鲁迅短篇小说集《呐喊》的杨宪益、戴乃迭英译本,蓝诗玲英译本以及威廉·莱尔英译本中文化专有项的翻译策略进行比较研究。研究发现,杨译本和莱尔译本更偏向采用保留法,且使用保留法和替代法的比例也很接近,而蓝诗玲则更喜欢运用替代法,且替代法略多于保留法。

Based on self-built corpus, this paper attempts to conduct a comparative study of strategies employed for translating culture-specific items in the three English versions of Nahan. As the findings show,Yang Xianyi and Gladys Yang’s version and William Lyell’s version prefer to adopt the method of conservation which shares nearly the same percentage as the method of substitution in translation,while Julia Lovell’s version prefers to employ the method of substitution which enjoys a slightly higher percentage than the method of conservation.
