中国诗歌术语英译的“中国英语”现象及翻译策略研究——基于协调翻译理论与许渊冲《古今诗歌一百首》译本的考察

The Phenomenon of “China English” in English Translation of Chinese Poetic Terminology and Translation Strategies—An Investigation Based on the Accommodative Translation Theory and Xu Yuanchong’s A Hundred Ancient and Modern Chinese Poems

摘要: 本研究以著名翻译家许渊冲的译著《古今诗歌一百首》为语料，旨在探讨中国诗歌术语英译中的“中国英语”现象。研究结合了高健的“协调翻译理论”，将1800个术语案例分为音译、直译、意译三种策略进行分析。研究认为，单一翻译策略在处理文化独特性强的诗歌术语时易导致文化信息损耗。协调翻译理论通过动态平衡源语文化内涵与译语可接受性(如“音译 + 注释”策略)能有效解决此问题。基于此，论文提出了一个“术语翻译三元协调模型”(音译保真、直译存形、意译传神)，意在为中国诗歌外译的标准化提供理论与实践参考，助力中华文化“走出去”。

Abstract: This study investigates the manifestation of “China English” in the translation of classical Chinese poetic terminology, utilizing Xu Yuanchong’s A Hundred Ancient and Modern Chinese Poems as its corpus. Employing Gao Jian’s Coordination-based Translation Theory, the research categorizes and analyzes 1800 terminology cases through three strategic frameworks: transliteration, literal translation, and free translation. Findings reveal that mono-strategic approaches risk significant cultural information loss when handling culturally distinctive poetic terms. The Coordination-based Translation Theory effectively mitigates this by dynamically balancing source-culture connotations with target-language acceptability, exemplified in hybrid strategies such as “transliteration + annotation.” Building on these insights, the study proposes a Tripartite Coordinated Model for Terminology Translation—preserving authenticity through sound-based translation, retaining form via literal translation, and conveying spirit via sense-based translation. This model aims to standardize the translation of Chinese poetry while providing theoretical and practical guidance for promoting international dissemination of Chinese culture.
