《大唐狄公案·黑狐狸》人物形象概念隐喻研究

A Study on Conceptual Metaphors in Character Portrayals in Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee: Poets and Murderer

摘要: 本文以高罗佩《大唐狄公案·黑狐狸》陈来元、胡明译本为研究对象，探究归化翻译策略下的隐喻翻译方法对小说人物形象再现效度的影响。研究发现，译者以归化翻译为核心，通过灵活转化隐喻意象、重新搭建隐喻映射路径，有效传递了原文隐喻的核心内涵，较好还原了小说中的唐代人物群像，实现了人物形象的精准再现。概念隐喻是《黑狐狸》塑造人物形象的关键手段，其翻译精准度直接影响人物形象的再现效果。小说在隐喻翻译中采用意译法与换喻法，既提升了译文的可读性，也保留了原文的文学审美价值，同时为中国传统公案小说的隐喻翻译与跨文化传播提供了有益参考。

Abstract: Taking the translation of Robert van Gulik’s Celebrated Cases of Judge Dee: The Black Fox by Chen Laiyuan and Hu Ming as the research object, this paper focuses on exploring the impact of metaphor translation methods on the reproduction validity of character portrayls in the novel. The study finds that with domestication translation as the core, the translators effectively convey the core connotation of the original metaphors by flexibly transforming metaphorical images and reconstructing metaphorical mapping paths, thus well restoring the group portraits of Tang Dynasty characters in the novel and achieving an accurate reproduction of character portrayals. Conceptual metaphor is a key means to shape character images in Poets and Murderer, and the accuracy of its translation directly affects the effect of character image reproduction. The adoption of free translation and metonymy in the metaphor translation of the novel is appropriate, which not only improves the readability of the translation, but also preserves the literary aesthetic value of the original text. Meanwhile, it provides a useful reference for the metaphor translation and cross-cultural communication of traditional Chinese gong’an novels.
