日汉翻译中的礼貌表达

Politeness in Japanese-Chinese Translation

摘要: 礼貌表现根据文化背景的不同有所差异，并且这些差异能够通过语言形式表现出来。在翻译活动中，如何实现源语言与目标语中人物关系的对等是实现翻译功能对等的一个重要课题。本文旨在从语言表达层面讨论日汉字幕翻译中礼貌表现形式的差异，并在此基础上发现对于同样的语言行为，汉语翻译中的礼貌表现比起日语原文的更为直接且礼貌程度低。

Abstract: Treatments on politeness, which are reflected in languages, are various in communication under different culture backgrounds. How could interpersonal equivalence be achieved in translation activities? This paper analyzes the detailed language manifestations of politeness phenomena in Japanese subtitling, and discusses the difference of politeness phenomena in corresponding Chi-nese translation. As the result, even for the same speech acts, Japanese tend to be indirect or un-certain, which is clearly different from Chinese that tend to be straight and positive.
