译者行为批评视域下文化负载词汉译行为研究——以李继宏译《追风筝的人》为例

Research on the Chinese Translation Practice of Culture-Loaded Terms within the Framework of Translator Behavior Criticism—Taking Li Jihong’s Translation of The Kite Runner as an Example

摘要: 本文依据译者行为批评理论中的“求真–务实”连续统评价模式，以《追风筝的人》中文译本为研究对象，探究译者在翻译不同文化负载词时选取的翻译策略、相应的译者行为及其动因。研究发现：(1) 译者采用多元化的翻译策略，如直译、意译、归化、异化，总体而言在归化与异化之间寻求平衡，体现了对源语文化和目标语文化的深入理解；(2) 译者的翻译在合理度较高的水平上偏向务实，强调对中国读者理解需求的关注。(3) 译者在处理文化负载词时表现出明显的主体性，其翻译行为受到译者个人经历、翻译目的及目标读者期待等多重因素影响。本研究对于深入译者行为及其影响研究、提升文学翻译质量具有重要意义。

Abstract: Referring to the “Truth-seeking Utility-attaining” Continuum Evaluation Mode in the Translator Behavior Criticism theory by Professor Zhou Lingshun, this paper selects the Chinese translation of The Kite Runner as the research subject. It aims to investigate the translation strategies, relevant translator behavior, and the underlying motivations for translating diverse culture-loaded terms. The study found that: (1) the translator adopts diversified translation strategies, such as domestication and foreignization, with a balance between foreignization and domestication, which has a better effect on cross-cultural communication. (2) The translation is oriented towards “Utility-attaining”, laying stress on the comprehension needs of Chinese readers. (3) Translator shows obvious subjectivity in dealing with culture-loaded terms, and the translation behavior is influenced by multiple factors such as translator’s personal experience, translation purpose and expectations of target readers. This study is of great significance to the in-depth study of translators’ behavior and its influence, and to the improvement of the quality of literary translation.
