文化负载词翻译策略对比研究——以《废都》两英译本为例

贾平凹的长篇小说《废都》存在大量的文化负载词,并具有鲜明的陕西地方特色,然而中西方文化的差异给译者在翻译文化负载词时带来了很大的困难和挑战。目前,该小说的英译本有汉学家葛浩文的Ruined City和胡宗锋教授的手稿The Abandoned Capital。文化图式理论的核心内涵是注重不同文化间的转换传递。以文化图式理论为依据,对两个英译本中文化负载词的翻译策略和方法进行对比分析发现,由于两位译者的个人背景和翻译目的不同,胡宗锋教授在整体上保留中国文化特色的同时,运用了更多的直译加注释策略,让西方读者易于接受,产生了更好的文化传播效果。
