礼貌原则的违反在儿童文学对话中的运用和翻译——以The Adventures of Tom Sawyer为例

The Application and Translation of Violation of the Politeness Principle in Children Literature’s Dialogues—Taking The Adventures of Tom Sawyer as an Example

本文以The Adventures of Tom Sawyer英文原著以及成时的中文译本为研究对象,借鉴利奇(Geoffrey Leech)的礼貌原则为理论支撑,基于儿童文学的独特性,探讨了儿童文学中礼貌原则的违反现象,研究发现成时在翻译过程中通过添加语气、增强情感和明晰内涵等策略有效传达“不礼貌”话语的语用意义。本研究旨在为提升儿童文学翻译质量及跨文化交流提供参考意义。

Guided by Geoffrey Leech’s politeness principle and based on the uniqueness of children’s literature, this paper takes the English version of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and the Chinese version translated by Cheng Shi as the research object, discussing the violation of politeness principle in children’s literature. It is found that Cheng Shi effectively conveys the pragmatic meaning of “being impolite” by adding tone, enhancing emotion and clarifying connotation in the process of translation. The purpose of this study is to provide reference for improving the quality of children’s literature translation and cross-cultural communication.
