图形背景理论视角下仿拟修辞格的翻译标准探究——《红楼梦》三个英译全译本的对比研究

摘要

“仿拟”是一种妙趣横生，有时极具讽刺色彩的汉语修辞手法。它是一种巧妙、机智、而有趣的修辞格。这种修辞格有意仿照人们熟知的现成的语言材料，根据表达的需要临时创造出新的语、句、篇来，以使语言生动活泼，或讽刺嘲弄，或幽默诙谐。在中国古代，尤其是汉朝之后，这种修辞手法尤为盛行。直到今天，无处不在的仿拟修辞充斥了新闻报道，广告，文学作品甚至是口头表达。这种语言中特殊而有趣的修辞方式吸引着众多学者。至今为止许多的著作论文都从多个方面对这种语言现象进行了研究。就西方而言，语言学家通常从文学或审美角度研究仿拟修辞格
　　图形——背景理论是格式塔心理学的一个重要内容。它最早以鲁宾的人脸花瓶图而为人所知。图形理论阐述了一种认知能力，而这种认知能力能基于某种对比，例如明暗，黑白等来区分出不同的部分。这个定义也多次从这一对比的简单的概念进行了延伸，包括一些抽象概念，如主体和背景，正极空间和副极空间。
　　尽管先前有一些关于仿拟翻译的相关研究，但这些研究并不充分。鉴于先前的一些研究的局限性，本文引入了西方格式塔心理学的“图形-背景”理论，从“图形背景”理论视角研究仿拟翻译的问题。更重要的是，本文尝试性提出了基于图形背景理论的仿词翻译标准，并且希望通过本文的分析，能对仿拟修辞的翻译研究提供新的视角。
