基于语料库的《文心雕龙·神思》英译本对比研究：兼以布迪厄场域理论视角解析

A Corpus-Based Comparative Study of English Versions of Wenxin Diaolong-Shensi: An Analysis from Bourdieu’s Field Theory

摘要: 基于对施友忠与杨国斌《文心雕龙·神思》英译本的对比研究，本文结合语料库语言学定量分析与布迪厄的场域理论定性阐释，揭示两译本在翻译策略及语言特征上的差异及其深层社会动因。语料库分析表明，杨译本词汇丰富度更高，信息密度更大；句式更简洁，可读性显著优于施译本；情感倾向上，施译本因文化直译呈现微弱主观性。布迪厄的场域理论解析指出，施译本通过术语规范化与文化直译维护源语权威；杨译本则服从全球化传播场域的效能逻辑，采用归化策略提升受众接受度。研究表明，译本差异本质是翻译场域规则从学术本位向传播效能历史迁移的结果。

Abstract: Based on a comparative study of Guobin Yang’s and Vincent Yu-Chung Shih’s English translations of Wenxin Diaolong-Shensi, this paper employs quantitative corpus linguistic analysis and qualitative interpretation grounded in Bourdieu’s Field Theory to reveal differences in translation strategies, linguistic features, and underlying social motivations. Corpus analysis indicates that Yang’s translation exhibits higher lexical richness and greater information density, with syntactic structures more concise, resulting in significantly better readability compared to Shih’s version. Shih’s translation displays marginal subjectivity in emotional tendency due to cultural literalism. Bourdieu’s Field Theory analysis demonstrates that Shih’s translation maintains source-language authority through terminological standardization and cultural literalism. While Yang’s translation adheres to the logic of efficacy within the global communication field, adopting domestication strategies to enhance audience receptivity. The study concludes that the divergences reflect a historical shift in translating field’s governing principles—from scholastic orientation to communicative efficacy.
