最佳关联原则视阈下《围城》英译本中国文化元素的显与隐

摘要

本论文以关联理论为理论指导，旨在研究《围城》英译本中国文化元素的显性翻译与隐性翻译现象。 Sperber和Wilson于1986年提出关联理论。关于关联理论的概念，他们是从话语关联的效果和话语处理付出的努力这两方面进行研究的。该理论关注人类语言交流的过程和本质问题，并认为人们交流的特征是寻求最佳关联效果，即以最小的努力获得上下文的最大关联。 本论文共得出以下重要结论。首先，最佳关联原则在中国文化元素的显与隐翻译的研究中起到了解释说明的重要作用；其次，本论文探究了五种用于《围城》英译本中国文化元素的显与隐的翻译策略，分别是增译法，缺失法，替代法，注释法和迁移法。通过这五种翻译策略，译者可以在最大程度上保留原作者的交际意图。再次，该论文通过研究得到：能够影响并决定中国文化元素的显与隐翻译的三要素，即原作者的交际意图，目标语读者期待和认知环境；最后，作者总结了中国文化元素的传播及其阻碍，传播需要优质的作品，优秀的译者以及读者期待。传播阻碍则是由于认知环境不同所导致的。 在本论文结尾部分，本文作者指出了该研究及结论的不足之处，并对今后该研究的发展提出了一些建议。
