接受美学与语料库视角下儿童文学翻译的译者风格对比研究——以《柳林风声》两个中译本为例
A Comparative Study on Translator Styles in Children’s Literature Translation from the Perspective of Reception Aesthetics and Corpus—A Case Study of Two Chinese Versions of “The Wind in the Willows”
摘要: 针对我国儿童文学翻译理论与实践发展不平衡的现状，本文以接受美学为理论视角、以语料库为研究方法，对英国作家肯尼斯·格雷厄姆经典儿童文学《柳林风声》的任溶溶、杨静远两个汉译本所体现的译者风格进行对比。研究自建小型平行语料库，借助ICTCLAS、WordSmith 8.0与AntConc 3.5.8等工具，从词汇、句法两个层面量化考察两位译者的风格差异，并从篇章衔接角度加以定性分析，并借助期待视野、视域融合与召唤结构三个概念分析译者风格对儿童文学译作接受的影响。研究发现：丰富的词汇量与“儿”化称谓能有效拉近文本与小读者的距离，短句表达更契合儿童的阅读期待，合取连词则有助于填补逻辑空白、辅助儿童理解。本研究是一次将语料库方法与接受美学相结合的初步尝试，以期为儿童文学翻译的量化研究提供一种可操作的思路，并对提升译作的准确性、可读性与接受度具有一定的参考意义。
Abstract: Aimed at the imbalance between theory and practice in Chinese children’s literature translation, this paper compares the translator styles of Ren Rongrong and Yang Jingyuan in their Chinese translations of Kenneth Grahame's classic children's literature “The Wind in the Willows”, from the perspective of reception aesthetics and with the corpus-based approach. A small parallel corpus was built for this study. Quantitative tools (ICTCLAS, WordSmith 8.0 and AntConc 3.5.8) are used to examine stylistic differences at the lexical and syntactic levels, while the concepts of horizon of expectation, fusion of horizons and appeal structure are applied to analyze how translator style affects reception, combined with a qualitative analysis from the perspective of textual cohesion. The findings show that rich vocabulary and “-er” terms of address narrow the distance between the text and child readers, shorter sentences better meet children’s reading expectations, and coordinative conjunctions help fill logical gaps, thereby facilitating children's comprehension. The study represents a preliminary attempt to combine corpus methods with reception aesthetics. It aims to provide an operable approach for quantitative research in children's literature translation, which holds certain reference value for improving the accuracy, readability, and acceptability of translated works.
