信息论冗余视角下《小仓百人一首》中的隐喻翻译——刘德润与王禹译本的对比研究

Metaphor Translation in the Ogura Hyakunin Isshu from an Information-Theoretic Redundancy Perspective—A Comparative Study of the Translations by Liu Derun and Wang Yu

摘要: 信息论的核心概念，如信息负载、信道容量、噪音和冗余，为翻译研究提供了重要的理论启示。本文以日本古典和歌集《小仓百人一首》中的隐喻翻译为研究对象，提出信息论视角下的“冗余三维协同”翻译策略，即通过语义冗余显化隐喻逻辑、形式冗余孕育音韵节奏、篇章冗余重构原文意境。通过协调语义、形式、篇章冗余，有助于在译语载体中重构原诗的意境统一性与诗意自足性。

Abstract: Core concepts from Information Theory—such as information load, channel capacity, noise, and redundancy—offer significant theoretical insights for translation studies. Focusing on the translation of metaphors within the Japanese classical waka anthology Ogura Hyakunin Isshu, this article proposes a translation strategy termed the “three-dimensional coordination of redundancy” from an information-theoretic perspective. Specifically, semantic redundancy is used to make the logic of metaphors explicit; formal redundancy to cultivate prosodic rhythm; and discourse-level redundancy to reconstruct the artistic conception of the source text. Coordinating semantic, formal, and discourse-level redundancy helps to re-create the unity of artistic conception and the poetic self-sufficiency of the original within the target-language medium.
