考古纪录片字幕“薄译”策略探析——以《古蜀秘境：三星堆迷踪》为例

A Study on the “Thin Translation” Strategy of Archaeological Documentary Subtitles—A Case Study of Ancient Shu: The Mystery of Sanxingdui

摘要: 考古纪录片字幕具有术语密集、信息堆叠、口语冗余等文本特性，而这与字幕媒介的时空限制之间存在根本冲突，传统依赖副文本的“厚译”模式在翻译时难以适用。本文以《古蜀秘境：三星堆迷踪》前三回中英字幕为语料，基于深度翻译理论谱系，探讨“薄译”作为隐性深度翻译轻量化变体的适用性。研究聚焦于专业术语的结构化定名与信息筛选、高密度信息通过句式简化与逻辑显化的整合，以及口语表达借助句式重组与多模态协同的优化，系统阐释了薄译策略在保留核心文化内涵前提下实现轻量化传播的实操路径，希望能为之后的考古纪录片字幕翻译提供一定参考。

Abstract: Archaeological documentary subtitles are characterized by intensive terminology, stacked information and redundant colloquial expressions, which creates a fundamental conflict with the temporal and spatial constraints of the subtitle medium. The traditional thick translation model relying on paratexts is hardly applicable in such translation practices. Taking the Chinese-English subtitles of the first three episodes of Ancient Shu: The Mystery of Sanxingdui as the research corpus, this paper explores the applicability of thin translation as a lightweight variant of implicit thick translation based on the theoretical pedigree of thick translation. Centering on the standardized designation and information screening of professional terms, the integration of high-density information through sentence simplification and logical clarification, as well as the optimization of colloquial expression via sentence restructuring and multimodal collaboration, this paper systematically illustrates the practical approaches of thin translation to realize lightweight communication while retaining core cultural connotations. It aims to provide references for the subtitle translation of subsequent archaeological documentaries.
