操纵理论视域下文化负载词翻译研究——以葛浩文译《呼兰河传》为例

Translation of Culture-Loaded Words Based on Manipulation Theory—A Case Study of Tales of Hulan River Translated by Howard Goldblatt

文化负载词指某一文化中具有民族特色和个性的词语,不同民族的文化负载词相差甚远,一特定民族文化负载词在异域文化中往往找不到对应表达,因此,文化负载词翻译在很大程度上影响中华文化对外传播。本文拟从操纵理论角度探讨文化负载词翻译问题,围绕赞助人、意识形态、诗学等操纵因素分析《呼兰河传》英译本中文化负载词翻译,归纳发现直译、增译、替换、改译、省译等五种文化负载词翻译方法,以期促进中华文化进一步走出去。

Culture-loaded words are words with national characteristics and individualities in a certain cul-ture. The culture-loaded words of different nationalities are very different. Some culture-loaded words in nation A often have no corresponding expressions in nation B. Therefore, the translation of culture-loaded words affects the communication of Chinese culture to a great extent. This article, from the perspective of Manipulation Theory, intends to discuss the translation of culture-loaded words. Based on the analysis of manipulation factors—patronage, ideology, and poetics, some typical culture-loaded words in Tales of Hulan River are analyzed, five translation methods—literal translation, amplification, substitution, adaptation, and omission to promote culture translation and Chinese culture to go abroad.
