Classical Chinese Novels in Hungarian Translation

社会主义时期(1957-1989)的匈牙利迎来了翻译的黄金时代:不以盈利为目的的国有出版社能够赞助长期的翻译项目,并因拥有可靠的编辑人员和众多优秀的译者而生产佳作。在此期间,《金瓶梅》和中国古典小说四大名著中的三部被译为匈牙利语,不过,其中只有《水浒传》(1961)和《西游记》(1969)是由一位杰出的汉学家直接从中文译入的,而《红楼梦》(1959)和《金瓶梅》(1964)均转译自德文删简版。然而,那些转译的作品却更受欢迎,不断再版。究其原因,也许是原作的异国因素在经过转译后,更易引起匈牙利读者的共鸣,但也可能是因为家族题材的小说与西方小说更为相类,更易为本土读者所接受。1989年之后匈牙利对中国文学的翻译急剧减少,此种状况今后或许会有改善。

Difference of Translation Subjectivity fro Two English Translation Version of Hong Lou Meng

Hong Lou Meng is one of the four greatest classical novels of China. Since the appearance of the book, more and more people have been interested in it and have begun to study the book from different point of views. Then a new subject-redology, namely the study of the book- comes out. Hong Lou Meng, as representing the peak of the development in the tranditional chinese realistic novels, has been translated into many languages. Nowdays, there are only two versions of the translation that consists of the whole 120 chapters of the book: one is entitled A Dream of Red Mansions translated by Yang Hsien-yi and his wife Gladys Yang; the one with the title The Story of the Stone is translated by David Hawkes and John Minford.From the view of culture, the book Hong Lou Meng is a great collection of chinese traditional culture, and it reflects the tradition, the religion, the festivals, the tea culture, and the medicine culture and as well as the opera and poem s of chines people. But viewing the translation versions, different people have different translations to the same culture elements. This paper, beginning from this point, makes a first study about the translatiuon subjectivity sense, that leads to this translation differences.

Detection of gross errors using mixed integer optimization approach in process industry

A novel mixed integer linear programming (NMILP) model for detection of gross errors is presented in this paper. Yamamura et al.(1988) designed a model for detection of gross errors and data reconciliation based on Akaike information cri- terion (AIC). But much computational cost is needed due to its combinational nature. A mixed integer linear programming (MILP) approach was performed to reduce the computational cost and enhance the robustness. But it loses the super performance of maximum likelihood estimation. To reduce the computational cost and have the merit of maximum likelihood estimation, the simultaneous data reconciliation method in an MILP framework is decomposed and replaced by an NMILP subproblem and a quadratic programming (QP) or a least squares estimation (LSE) subproblem. Simulation result of an industrial case shows the high efficiency of the method.

Domestication Strategy in Translating Please Look after Mom for English-speaking Readers

Translating,generally speaking,is a cultural interaction of one language/country with another.In the process of shifting a text,different elements are changed to produce a similarity in the target culture in the form of fluency or domestication.On the other hand,literalism or foreignization has emerged as an ethical strategy of translation in order to address problems coming out of changing the source text.In this context,the study reported in this paper will examine specific domestication strategies and the impacts in peripheral literature when a culturally or linguistically minority source language is translated into a powerful and dominant target language.The Korean novel Please Look after Mom is employed for an example,which was a million seller in South Korea and was introduced in English in 2011 and also gained an enormous popularity among English-speaking readers.

A Sociological Account of the Translation,Promotion and Reception of Jia Pingwa’s Feidu Outside China

Feidu,a novel by Jia Pingwa,which is regarded as one of the most controversial fiction in China since 1993,has recently come back to the attention of the public in China because of the publication of its English version Ruined City:A Novel in 2016 in the US.The present paper intends to investigate the different receptions of the novel in China and in countries,like Japan,France,and America.Special attention is given to its translation,promotion,and reception in America on the basis of analyses of the para-texts of the English version,such as the preface of the translator,the promotional words on the part of the American publisher,the endorsement of literary scholars both at home and abroad,and the comments on it by critics.It is found that:(1)The novel was enthusiastically accepted and highly acclaimed in France and Japan,which constitutes a sharp contrast with its reception among Chinese readers and scholars;(2)it got a chance to be translated into English and promoted to the readership 23 years after its publication owing to the efforts of“different agents”,among whom were the translator,the editor,the publisher and many influential scholars both at home and abroad;(3)Goldblatt,rather than others,was finally chosen as the translator of the book on account of the cultural,social,symbolic,and economic capitals he possesses;and(4)the state-sponsored English translation and publication of the book in America was part of China’s effort of introducing its contemporary literature outside China.However,in its consecration in the dominant field of world literature,the novel met with obstacles,and its reception not very satisfactory.The authors of the present paper draw on sociological perspectives proposed by Pierre Bourdieu for an explanatory account of the phenomenon.In addition,Actor-Network Translation Studies(ANTS),a sociological framework for translation research proposed by Jonathan Stalling,is also introduced,and its important concepts turn out to have such explanatory power as to give us to a better understanding of the mechanism of literature translation and reception in a foreign culture.

A Study of Simile Translation in Red Sorghum Based on Relevance-Adaptation Model

In Red Sorghum, Mo Yan used about 200 similes, and Howard Goldblatt did an excellent job in translating them intoEnglish. The researcher aims to study the translation of similes in Red Sorghum based on Relevance-Adaptation Model. During theprocess of simile translation, a translator should first make a relevance assumption based on context to find the author's intention;second he should make a relevance adaptation to render the translated text conform to the tradition of the target language;last, aproper choice of utterance style should be made. The findings are as follows: for C-E translation, apart from translating a simile intoa simile, a translator can also translate it into a metaphor, paraphrase it or even omit the translation of it. Based on Relevance-Ad-aptation Model, this paper enriches studies on simile translation as well as on Red Sorghum.

《三国志演义》蒙译本收藏现状、文献特点和学术价值

国内外现存《三国志演义》蒙译文献不仅收藏分布极为分散,各家书目和图书馆检索目录多粗疏不确,其入藏记录和递藏线索也颇为模糊。就文献特点而言,这些文献具有书籍形态多样、版本种类多元、文本流动不稳、版本信息残缺、卷帙篇幅繁多、毁损散佚严重等显著特征。这些文献不仅是蒙古族翻译文学史料的重要部分,其整理与研究对蒙古族俗文学文献研究、蒙古族文学批评研究、汉文古代小说版本与传播研究、中国民族文学交流与交融研究亦具有重要的学术价值。传世《三国志演义》蒙译本的特点和价值大抵代表了国内外存藏汉文古代小说蒙译本的传播情况和学术价值。
