On the C-E Translation of Prose He Tang Yue Se from the Perspective of Skopos Theory_英语论文

摘要

功能目的论是具有影响力的翻译理论之一，强调译文与原文在功能上的对等，追求译文读者和原文作者情感上的共鸣。该理论不仅对应用类语篇翻译指导作用明显，对文学翻译同样具有指导价值。

散文，讲究音美、形美和意美，富有中国文化特色。本文在功能目的论的视角下，以中国著名散文家朱自清先生《荷塘月色》不同英译本为例，通过择词、构句，和修辞使用三个层面的对比分析，研究翻译散文的有效方法，探究译者是如何运用功能目的论指导散文翻译过程，最大程度实现译文与原文在音美、形美、意美上的功能对等。
