摘  要

感叹词作为功能词在中西方的日常用语中使用广泛。人们通过使用感叹词来表达内心的感受、情绪以及交际意图。感叹词主要是由拟声词和来源于其他词类的词语组成。感叹词的特殊性引起了许多学者和译者的关注和研究。但现有的研究主要是针对感叹词的语用策略和作用，而本文将根据关联理论中的明示推理理论、最佳关联理论、相关经济原则以及语境对英语感叹词的理解与翻译进行举例分析。本文结论得出，由于最佳理论的程度大小是由对话的语境效果和观众的认知努力决定的，所以为了使观众的认知努力达到最小，我们可以对语义价值较低的感叹词进行音译或省略处理，对具有进一步交际意图的感叹词进行转译处理，这样则有助于观众对感叹词获得更好的理解并提升译者的翻译水平。

Abstract

Interjections as the functional words are commonly used in daily communication in China and the western countries. By using the interjections, people can express their mind, emotions and the communicative intention. There are two classifications of interjections. One is onomatopoeia and the other is the words from other categories, such as adjectives and nouns. The flexible usage and special grammatical feature of interjections have aroused many scholars and translators to study them. And the previous study mainly focused on the pragmatic strategies and functions of interjections. However, this thesis aims to analyze the comprehension and translation of interjections in western films based on Relevance Theory put forward by Sperper and Wilson. These two scholars suggested that human verbal communication is a process of inference in nature, with context as its basis and relevance as its principle. In this thesis, based on some specific context and according to the Ostension and Inference，Optimal Relevance and Economy Principle in Relevance Theory, the author will take some specific examples to analyze the comprehension and translation of English interjections. The result of this thesis has shown that because the degree of optimal relevance is determined by contextual effect and cognitive effort, translators can use transliteration or omission to translate interjections when these words have a low semantic value in order to make the audience pay minimum cognitive effort. But for those interjections with some special communicative intentions, translators can choose free translation to deal with them. In this way, audience can understand the interjections better and translators can improve their translating proficiency.
