《理智与情感》三个汉译本的译者风格研究——基于自建语料库的统计与分析

A Study of the Translator’s Style in the Three Chinese Versions of Sense and Sensibility Based on Statistics and Analysis of Self-Built Corpus

摘要: 本文基于自建多译本语料库，应用语料库检索软件对孙致礼、武崇汉和王纪卿&唐荫荪所译的《理智与情感》三个译本进行了对比分析，从词汇、句法和语篇三个层面对译本的语言特征进行数据统计和初步的量化分析，比较和探讨三个汉译本在风格上的异同。结果发现，受原著小说文体和创作主题的影响，三个译本的词语变化程度和词汇密度低于汉语原创文本，平均句长与汉语原创文本相近。另外，三个译本在词汇丰富度、词汇密度、平均句长，翻译策略等方面都有差异，各有特色。

Abstract: This paper adopts a corpus-based approach to compare the three Chinese Versions of Sense and Sensibility through corpus retrieval software. The language characteristics of the four translators, Wu Chonghan, Sun Zhili and Wang Jiqing, Tang Yinsun are investigated from lexical, syntactic and textual level through statistics and preliminary quantitative analysis. Thereby the similarities and differences of the three Chinese versions in style are compared and discussed. The findings suggest that influenced by the style and theme of the original novel, the vocabulary richness and lexical density of the three versions are lower than those of the original Chinese texts. And mean length of utterance of the three versions is close to the original Chinese texts. In addition, there are differences in the three versions in terms of vocabulary richness, lexical density, mean length of utterance, translation strategies and so on.
