生态翻译学视角下的文物说明牌翻译——以辽宁大连旅顺博物馆为例

On Translation of Cultural Relics Signs from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology—Taking Lvshun Museum as an Example

摘要: 文物翻译作为跨文化交流的重要桥梁，在讲好中国故事中发挥着重要作用，高质量的文物翻译不仅能提高外国游客的参观体验，还有助于增强他们对中国历史文化的了解。由于文物的命名蕴含了不同的文化内涵，且文物说明牌受空间字符限制，又加大了其翻译难度。博物馆文物说明牌的翻译在国内已有一定的研究基础，且对于各省的文化地域针对性强。然而，辽宁省内有关于博物馆文物翻译的研究却比较少。因此，本文以辽宁大连旅顺博物馆为例，收集了其对应文物说明牌的英译文共90个，以生态翻译学视角，从语言、文化、交际三个维度对这些语料进行分类研究，分析了如何灵活运用翻译策略更好地传达和阐释文物内涵、更好地在文化交流中发挥作用。

Abstract: Cultural relic translation, an important bridge of cross-cultural communication, plays an important role in telling Chinese stories well. High-quality cultural relic translation can not only improve the visiting experience of foreign tourists, but also help enhance their understanding of Chinese history and culture. Given that the names of cultural relics contain different cultural connotations and the restriction of character on the explanatory signs, it is more difficult to translate them. There has been a certain research foundation in China on the translation of museum cultural relics explanatory signs and strong pertinence to the cultural regions of each province. However, there are few researches on the translation of museum relics in Liaoning Province. Therefore, taking Lvshun Museum in Dalian, Liaoning Province as an example, this paper compiles a total of 90 English translations of the corresponding cultural relics explanatory signs. From the perspective of ecological translatology, the writer categorizes these corpus from the dimensions of language, culture, and communication, and analyzes how to flexibly apply translation strategies to better convey and interpret the cultural significance of artifacts, and to effectively facilitate cultural exchange.
