语言生态视域下广西壮族民歌英译探讨

摘要

Language is like a life. It has its own environment to live in. At present,the environment of Zhuang Language is not so good as in the past. Zhuang's folk songs are Zhuang ethnic group's poetic lan-guage,and they have rich meanings and they are essence of Zhuang language. They show the culture and idioms of Zhuang's ethnic group. Translating Zhuang's folk songs into English under the principles of fi-delity,foreignization and singability is a good way to keep Zhuang's folk songs'unique characteristics, which include simple and meaningful language,full of Zhuang's culture and singability. In these ways, Zhuang language and its culture can be spread widely and its ecology can be protected better.%语言犹如生命体，有其生存、发展的生态环境。目前壮语的生态环境并不乐观。壮族民歌是壮族诗化的语言，是壮语言的浓缩，具有丰富的内涵，充分体现了壮族的文化与习俗，将其翻译成英语时主要遵循忠实性原则、陌生化原则及可唱性原则，以更好地保留原歌语言简洁凝练、文化内涵丰富及入口可唱的特色，从而更好地将壮语言及其文化对外传播，促进壮语及其所处的文化与生态环境的良好发展。
