翻译模因论视角下《反脆弱：从不确定性中获益》汉译研究

A Study on the Chinese Translation of Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder from the Perspective of Translation Memetics

摘要: 本文以《反脆弱：从不确定性中获益》及其汉译本为例，在翻译模因论视角下探讨英汉翻译中的模因复制、变异与选择。研究发现，译者通过直译与音译忠实再现新概念模因，并借助语义强化、文化适配和语用调节提升译文的可接受性与传播力。结果表明，翻译不仅是信息转换的过程，更是文化模因再生产与进化的机制。

Abstract: Using Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder and its Chinese translation as a case study, this paper explores meme replication, variation, and selection in English-Chinese translation within the framework of translation memetics. The analysis shows that the translator reproduces new conceptual memes faithfully through literal translation and transliteration, while improving their acceptability and dissemination through semantic enhancement, cultural adaptation, and pragmatic adjustment. The findings suggest that translation is not merely a process of information transfer but also a mechanism for the reproduction and evolution of cultural memes.
