目的论视角下中国网络小说的文化负载词英译实践研究

The Study on the Culture-Loaded Words of the Chinese Online Novels from the Perspective of the Skopos Theory

中国网络小说出海掀起热潮,译者在其中的作用举足轻重。在翻译这类“亚文学”时,推动中国文化走出去的战略思想与委托方提高文本可读性的要求因为文化负载词的存在而产生矛盾,译者对文化负载词的处理便成为了一大问题。面对这一难点,用目的论指导网络小说文化负载词的翻译可以挣脱译者的文化身份,为文化负载词的翻译提供一种可行的解决思路,为其他研究者带来一些思考。在目的论的指导下,结合实践内容,本文分析了文本中出现的文化负载信息,讨论如何灵活使用各种翻译方法翻译网络小说中的文化负载词。

Translators play an important role in the boom of Chinese online novels going overseas. When translating this kind of “subliterature”, the strategic idea of promoting Chinese culture to go abroad and the requirement of the client to improve the readability of the text are in conflict because of the existence of culture-loaded words, and the translator’s handling of culture-loaded words becomes a big problem. In the face of this difficulty, using the Skopos theory to guide the translation of culture-loaded words in online novels can break free from the translator’s cultural identity, provide a feasible solution to the idea of translating culture-loaded words, and bring some thoughts to other researchers. Under the guidance of the Skopos theory, combined with the practical content, this paper analyses the culturally loaded information appearing in the text, and discusses how to flexibly use various translation methods to translate the culture-loaded words in network novels.
