On the Chinese Translation of The Kite Runner by Li Jihong from the Perspective of Adaptation and Selection Approach_英语论文

摘要

翻译适应选择论是由我国学者胡庚申提出的全新理论，根据达尔文“自然选择”学说的基本原理，他认为翻译是译者适应翻译生态环境的选择活动。译者在翻译时应努力完成在语言维、文化维和交际维的“三维”转换，只有多维转换程度高的译文才是好的译文。尽管该理论起步较晚，体系尚未成熟，但它对翻译过程中译者有意识或者无意识的作为具有一定的解释力。本文将从译者适应和选择的角度对李继宏先生的译作《追风筝的人》进行分析，探讨译者如何适应翻译生态环境，并从语言、文化和交际的维度做出适应性选择。
