概念隐喻理论框架下的动物隐喻翻译——以《水浒传》为例

摘要

本文试图在认知语言学的概念隐喻框架中分析《水浒传》中动物隐喻的翻译。中西方的隐喻研究历史已有两千年。在传统的隐喻理论当中，隐喻只被认为是一种修辞手法，即:通过将一物说成是另一物来实现比喻。Lakoff和Johnson在《我们赖以生存的隐俞》中首次提出概念隐喻理论，认为隐喻不单存在于语言层面，也是人们思考认识世界的普遍方式。同时，他们认为，隐喻扎根于人类日常生活经验，是源域与目标域之间的映射。　　对于人类来说，动物是其最亲密的伙伴之一。它们丰富的特征以及与人类密切关系产生大量的动物隐喻。在《水浒传》中，动物隐喻在丰富其语言内容也起相当重要的作用，譬如，梁山108好汉当中，有近三分之一的好汉的绰号是动物隐喻。　　在相当长的一段时期内，翻译仅仅被当作是语言层面上的转换。受到传统语言学研究的限制，有关学者对隐喻的翻译研究也只是在修辞学层面上。从上个世纪70年代开始，翻译研究逐步朝着跨学科方向发展，而不断发展的认知语言学的研究给翻译研究带来活力。　　本文以赛珍珠和沙博理的《水浒传》英译本为案例分析材料，在概念隐喻理论框架下，对比两位译者的动物隐喻翻译，分析他们在翻译动物隐喻时的认知过程，探讨动物隐喻翻译的一般特征和规律。
