A Brief Analysis of English to Chinese Literature Translation in the View of the Basic Processes in Writing

摘要

本文旨在从写作角度分析英汉文学翻译过程，将写作核心机制“感知—运思—表述—检查”应用于英汉文学翻译的探究。感知是译者揣摩原作者的创作心理，包括原文材料的选择与原文的理解；运思是先勾勒译文框架，再处理细枝末节；表述是将译者的脑力劳动的成果外化为文字的活动；检查则是译者评价和改正译文的过程。为此，杨士焯教授提出翻译写作学这一概念，它将是译者面临的一项挑战，同时也是自我完善，切实提高自身翻译水平的机会。

Abstract

From the perspective of writing, the thesis aims at analyzing English to Chinese literature translation and attempts to apply core mechanism in writing, namely，perception, thought operation, expression and reviewing to the research of literature translation. Perception is a process in which the translator knows and understands how the original author perfectly organizes the text, including the choice and understanding of the original text; thought operation is a state where the translator conceives the whole source text first, then deals with parts of the work to be translated; expression is an activity in which the translator transforms the fruit of his mental labor into letters; reviewing is a phase where the translator evaluates and modifies the translation. Based on the conception above, a term called translational writing is put forward by Professor Yang Shizhuo. Translational writing is both a challenge and an opportunity for translators to improve their translation level.

Key words: English to Chinese literature translation; core mechanism in writing; translational writing
