The Metaphorical Analysis of Names in The Story of The Stone

The Story of The Stone is the peak of the art of the novel in ancient China. Its artistic achievement is displayed first of all in its dazzling array of characters. Jia Baoyu, Lin Daiyu, Wang Xifeng, Xue Baochai, Yuanyang, Qingwen, and the others all have their distinct personalities and are true to life as if they were living amongst us. These richly complex characters with their different stations in life and divergent views and philosophies act out an intricate pattern of human relationships and conflicts within the Jia family mansion. Apart from their distinct ways of acting and speaking, the peculiarities of their appearances, dress and living arrangements, the names the author gave them also contribute a lot to the successful display of all these characters.

濮文暹与甲戌本及半亩园

刘铨福旧藏甲戌本时期,濮文暹与濮文昶兄弟是较早的该本读者,书后还留有二人的亲笔跋语及印鉴,时间是同治四年(1865)乙丑孟秋,地点是京城豪宅半亩园。濮氏昆仲与甲戌本、刘铨福及完颜崇实、崇厚、嵩申、华毓之间的牵连瓜葛,理应复查稽核一番,藉此返回历史现场,以便解惑答疑。结果表明,已知史料与濮跋信息高度吻合,濮氏兄弟与半亩园主人崇实等关系确甚密切。细读《见在龛诗钞》与《味雪龛词稿》,还可获知濮文昶的生卒年。包括濮跋在内的甲戌本卷尾跋语七条时序错乱,那是自然而然形成的,并无问题。在国家图书馆古籍部发现濮文昶的《味雪龛词稿》抄本残卷,是一宗副产品。

体认语言学视域下的“一点”英译研究--以霍克思、闵福德《红楼梦》英译本为例

汉语量词“点”表示不定小量,在历时演变中发生语义泛化。在“一点”量名结构中,“一点”较少突显名词所指事物的属性;而相应的英语表达可突显事物的多维属性。本文依据体认语言学的核心原则“现实—认知—语言”,以霍克思、闵福德《红楼梦》英译本中“一点”的英译为例,探究译者的认知过程。研究发现,在“现实—认知—语言”的翻译再建构中,译者对原文的语境内外关系进行重新评估(现实),按译语规约对名词所指事物的某种(些)属性进行有意识突显(认知),使译文(语言)有了新的认知特征。

南武野蛮《新石头记》与清末中国“成长小说”的生成

学界普遍认为中国“成长小说”(Bildungsroman)诞生于“五四”时期,“五四”之前具有成长小说雏形的作品几乎全部为译作。实际上,清末南武野蛮的《红楼梦》续作《新石头记》是一部完全萌芽于中国的原创成长小说。与吴趼人同名小说中欲速不达的“伪成长”不同,南武野蛮详细描画主人公贾宝玉循序渐进的成长轨迹,关注个体与国家的相衍相生,在同时代文学创作中具有超前的现代性。南武野蛮《新石头记》中鲜明的成长因素离不开主人公贾宝玉这一人物形象的特殊性,更与其时代背景下的清末新政和留学浪潮密切相关。以南武野蛮《新石头记》为代表的清末成长小说虽然具有一定的时代局限,但依然可以被视为近代中国试图冲破阻碍、谋求发展的家国隐喻。

汉学家涉医文学翻译对中医药文化海外传播启示

以《红楼梦》为代表的涉医文学作品是中医文化海外传播的重要体裁之一。译者在翻译过程中居于核心地位,是不同文化的调停者。大卫·霍克斯的多重文化身份使其更关注异质文化在西方语境中的意义建构,但也会影响文化传真。对于中医文化海外传播而言,译者多元文化身份的融合或多元文化背景的译者协作有助于更开放包容地调和涉医文本在翻译过程中异域化和本土化的对立,创生出适于跨文化传播的“杂合”文本,提升中医药文化海外输出效能。

国家翻译能力视域下中国文学翻译实践能力研究——以霍克斯译本《红楼梦》为例

当下中国文化“走”出去的观念已经上升到国家战略的高度,因此国家翻译能力研究凸显出其重要性。中国文学翻译作为中国翻译分支中不可或缺的一部分,在整个中华文化外宣工程中占据着非常重要的位置。但是在翻译实践过程中,文学中特有的民族文化特征的翻译处理不得当是造成中国文学译本在海外传播不够理想的一个重要因素。特别是文学译者,作为中国文学翻译实践主体,他们的翻译实践活动直接受自身翻译理念的影响,与时俱进的译者翻译理念是提升其翻译实践能力的前提条件,也是有效途径。霍克斯译本《红楼梦》在海外得到了读者的认可,在一定程度上实现了中华文化传播。该文以提升译者翻译实践能力为出发点,通过分析霍克斯在《红楼梦》翻译实践中体现出的翻译思想,探究培养译者与时俱进的翻译理念对其文学实践能力的提升作用。

试析霍译《红楼梦》(第一卷)不足之处

霍克斯英译的《红楼梦》是我国汉学外译领域一颗璀璨的明珠,因其译文忠实传神而备受译界赞誉。但《红楼梦》一书中汉语言、汉文化的博大精深使得霍译本难免存在着一些缺憾,本文将从语言文化的误读误译、句式变动对风格的影响、版本选择对译文的负面影响等方面对霍译《红楼梦》(第一卷)中的不足之处进行探讨。

文学语境与人名隐喻的翻译研究——基于《红楼梦》英译文的个案研究

人名隐喻是《红楼梦》的艺术特色之一。小说的人名同时投射到人物形象、性格及作品的主题等较抽象的概念上,使人名在一定语境中兼而实现了称谓功能以及表现人物与主题的文学功能,成为颇具特色的文学隐喻。一部作品的主题、人物等文学因素是人名隐喻赖以生成的环境因素,也是其存在的依据,和文化语境一样,制约着人名的文学解读与翻译。文化和文学语境交织存在,有时会发生冲突。文学语境与人名隐喻是相辅相成的关系。上述观点为霍译本的人名意译策略提供了一定的解释,并赋予文学作品的人名翻译评价以新标准。
