言语行为理论视域下《蛙》语气词英译研究
A Study on the English Translation of Modal Particles in Frog from the Perspective of Speech Act Theory
摘要: 言语行为理论是语用学的一个重要理论。翻译本身就是一个语用概念，因为翻译不仅是简单的语言转换，还要重视原文的语用意义。在言语行为理论的指导下，译者不能只考虑原文的言内之意，还要根据语境、源语文化背景等把握其言外之意，并在译文中将其意图，而不仅是意义恰当的传达出来。本文基于该理论，通过对莫言小说《蛙》及葛浩文的英译本中语气词“啊”、“吧”和“吗”的翻译实例分析，探究葛浩文在处理这些语气词时所采用的翻译策略，进而分析葛浩文是否在此做到了语用的等效。
Abstract: The theory of speech act is an important theory in pragmatics. Translation itself is a pragmatic concept, because translation is not just a simple linguistic transformation, but also pays attention to the pragmatic meaning of the original text. Under the guidance of the theory of speech act, the translator should not only consider the literal meaning of the original text, but also grasp its implied meaning according to the context and the cultural background of the source language, and convey its intention, rather than just the meaning, properly in the translation. Based on this theory, this article explores the translation strategies adopted by Howard Goldblatt in dealing with modal particles such as “a”, “ba” and “ma” in Mo Yan’s novel Frog and its English translation through analyzing the translation examples. Then it analyzes whether Howard Goldblatt achieves pragmatic equivalence in this respect.
