《赫兹列散文精选》的文化互文性研究

A Study on Cultural Intertextuality in Selected Essays of William Hazlitt

摘要: 研究以互文性理论为框架，以潘文国翻译的《赫兹列散文精选》为研究对象，探讨了英文原作与汉语译本之间的文化互文关系。文章从“作者”“读者”和“批评家”三个角度，分别对应互文性表现的“改写”“完成”和“阐释”，以《人生众相录》为例，从哲学思想与精神文化层面剖析了散文在跨文化语境下的意义重构。研究认为，翻译并非单纯的语言转换，而是一个动态的、多层次的文化对话与再创造过程，潘文国的译本通过与中国文化语境的互文互动，使赫兹列的思想获得了新的表达与意义。

Abstract: This paper takes intertextuality theory as its theoretical framework and focuses on Pan Wenguo’s Chinese translation of Selected Essays of William Hazlitt, exploring the cultural intertextual relationship between the English original and the Chinese translation. From the perspectives of the “author”, the “reader”, and the “critic”, the study examines three forms of intertextuality: “rewriting”, “completion”, and “interpretation”. Using Characteristics as a case study, the thesis analyzes the reconstruction of meaning in the essay within a cross-cultural context from the perspectives of philosophical thought and spiritual culture. The study argues that translation is not merely a process of linguistic transformation, but rather a dynamic and multi-layered process of cultural dialogue and recreation. Through intertextual interaction with the Chinese cultural context, Pan Wenguo’s translation enables William Hazlitt’s ideas to acquire new forms of expression and significance.
