主位推进模式下夏济安汉译散文研究
Xia Ji’an’s Chinese Translation of Essays: The Perspective of Thematic Progression
摘要: 经典译著值得译者学习借鉴，其翻译策略和方法也需反复琢磨。本文以夏济安译《美国名家散文选读》为研究对象，基于主位推进理论，探讨散文中有关环境描写的汉译策略和方法。基于对环境描写的基本定义，此次研究得以筛选出相关数据，并运用韩礼德的主述位理论及五类主位推进模式，对比分析具体的语言数据，并有如下发现：夏济安在翻译散文中的环境描写类文本时，主要采取归化的策略，通常采用实体物质或行为充当话题主位，其译文的主位推进模式在一定程度上遵循原文。本文从主位推进理论出发，分析比较环境描写的翻译，总结得出夏济安汉译散文的策略和方法，具有一定借鉴意义，启发相关文学类文本的翻译实践，以期促进中西方语言文化交流。
Abstract: The translation of classics is worth studying in detail: the translation strategy and skills may be applied widely. This thesis takes “A Collection of American Essays” edited and translated by Xia Ji’an as the research object. All the samples that are related to environment description are selected on the basis of the basic definition. A thematic and comparative analysis is conducted according to the Theme and Rheme theory proposed by Michael Halliday and the five basic Thematic Progression patterns concluded from previous scholarship. It is observed that Xia Ji’an mainly adopts the strategy of domestication and takes concrete objects or behavior as the topical theme, and the Thematic Progression patterns in the target text align with the source text to a great extent. Based on the Thematic Progression theory, this thesis compares the environment description in the source text and that in the target text, and summarizes the translation strategy and skills applied by Xia Ji’an. It guides the translation of related texts.
