从跨文化的角度看《大地》的翻译_英语论文

A Cross-Culture Study On the Translation of The Good Earth  

摘要

跨文化翻译是翻译研究的重要组成部分，能够使得译本更符合目标语文化的主流意识形态和生活观念。本文采用苏珊·巴斯奈特的文化翻译观为理论指导，以赛珍珠的 《大地》英文原著和王逢振的汉译本《大地》为研究对象，在已有理论的基础上，结合作者和译者各自的风格、文化背景等，从生态文化、物质文化、社会文化、宗教文化、语言文化等方面进行翻译分析,用具体实例证实把翻译置身于文化背景中研究的必要性和跨文化翻译理论在翻译文本分析中的普遍实用性，为进一步深入研究《大地》的翻译展示了新的视角，以期对中国题材外语文学作品的翻译现象做出有力的解释并提供一定的借鉴。

Abstract

Cross-culture translation is an important part of translation studies, making version conform to the target culture’s mainstream ideology and the concept of life. This thesis, based on Susan Bassnett’s cultural translation theory and taking The Good Earth and Wang Fengzhen’s translation version as research objects, will combine author’s style with the translator’s cultural backgrounds to analyze the translation under the context of ecological, material, social, religious and linguistic culture. With specific translation examples, it is necessary to put the text into cultural settings, proving the universal application of cross-culture translation theory and providing new perspective for further study. The purpose of the study is to make a strong explanation for the Chinese subjects in foreign language literature works and offer a reference.
