认知识解理论下《黄帝内经》的英译研究

Study of English Translation in Huangdi Neijing under the Cognitive Construal Theory

摘要: 翻译是认知过程的一部分，识解作为认知翻译学中的重要范畴，探讨人们在相同情境下产生不同语言表达的原因。本文旨在通过认知识解视角探讨中医典籍中的英译问题，以《黄帝内经》为例分析了当前中医英译存在的背景与挑战，突出了认知识解在跨文化翻译中的重要性。本文目的是通过深入分析《黄帝内经》，探索其在英语语境下的最佳表达方式。文章运用了文本分析与比较研究，结合认知识解理论，对英译材料进行了深入解读与对比分析。翻译存在差异的深层原因在于译者的认知机制与识解方式各不相同：译者的专业背景塑造了其独特的分析视角与切入点。在描述与叙述中，他们通过有选择地突出不同侧面，不仅展示了对细节处理的差异，也体现了在详略安排上的个性化选择。

Abstract: Translation is part of cognitive process, and cognitive construal theory, as an important category in cognitive translation, explores the reasons why people produce different linguistic expressions in the same context. The purpose of this paper is to explore the English translation in Chinese medicine classics through cognitive construal theory, analyze the background and challenges that exist in the current translation by taking Huangdi Neijing as an example, and highlight the importance of construal theory in cross-cultural translation. The purpose of this article is to explore the best way to express terms in the English context by analyzing them in depth in Huangdi Neijing. The article employs textual analysis and comparative study, combined with the theory of the cognitive construal theory, to provide an in-depth interpretation and comparative analysis of the English translated material. The deep-seated reason for the differences in translation lies in different cognitive mechanisms and ways of knowing and interpreting of the translators: The translator’s professional background informs their unique analytical perspective and approach. In their descriptions and narratives, by selectively emphasizing different aspects, they not only demonstrate differences in detail handling but also reflect personalized choices about what to elaborate on and what to omit.
