Chapter 1:Main issues of translation studies:1. Jacobson’s categories of translation:a. Intralingual;b. Interlingual;c. Intersemiotic (verbal- non-verbal).2.History of the discipline:a. From the late 18th to the 1960s – grammar-translation method (replaced by communicative approach in the 1960s and 1970s);b.The USA 1960s –translation workshop concept based on Richards’reading workshops and practical criticism approach that began in 1920s; running parallel to this approach was that of comparative literature;c.The USA 1930s-1960s/70s – contrastive analysis;d.More systematic, and mostly linguistic-oriented, approach 1950s-1960s:i.J.-P. Vinay and J. Darbelnet (French/English);ii. A. Malblanc (French/German);iii.G. Mounin (linguistic issues of translation);iv. E. Nida (based on Chomsky generative grammar).v.James S. Holmes’“The name and nature of translation studies”is considered to be the founding statement of a new discipline.vi.Hermans Manipulation Schoolvii.Vieira Brazilian cannibalist school Postcolonial theoryviii.Venuti cultural-studies-oriented analysisThe Holmes/Toury map of translation studies1:Chapter 2: Translation theory before the 20th century:Traduttore, traditore = the translator is a traitorChapter 3: Equivalence and equivalent effect:In the 1950s and 1960s the place of circular debates around literal and free translation took the new debate revolved around certain key linguistic issues, among them those of meaning and equivalence, discussed by R. Jakobson in 1959. Over the following 20 years many further attempts were made to define the nature of equivalence.Jakobson:1.Meaning: the signifier=the signal of the signified (the concept).2.There is no full equivalence between code-units of different languages.3.So, we should substitute not words, but messages.4.Only p oetry is considered ‘untranslatable’ and requires ‘creative transposition’.Nida’s ‘science of translating (subjective):1.Meaning:a.Linguistic;b.Referential (dictionary meaning);c.Emotive (connotative).2.Ways of determining meaning:a.Hierarchical structuring (animal dog, cow etc);ponential analysis (grandmother, mother, cousin etc);c.Semantic structure analysis (spirit can mean demon, angel, god, ghost, ethos, alcohol etc)meaning depending on context.3.3-stage system of translation (Chom sky’s influence: deep/surface structure of a language):SL1 (analysis) X (transfer) Y (restructuring) TL24.Equivalence:a.Formal (form and content);b.Dynamic (equivalent response of: t2 reader on t2 as t1 reader on t1) (closest naturalequivalent).5.Correspondence in meaning must have priority over correspondence in style.6.Reader-based orientation.主要理论1:对等和等效(1950s-1960s)1.代表人物(1)罗曼雅各布逊A.描写了翻译的三类型:语内翻译,语际翻译和符际翻译B.提出语际翻译指用一种语言替换另一种语言种的整个信息C.强调对等的差异性(2)尤金奈达A. 提出形式对等和动态对等B. 提出著名的读者反应理论C. 他的理论以乔姆斯基的转换生成语法为基础(3)皮特纽马克A.提出语义对等和交际对等(4)韦内科勒A.区分了对应和对等B.描写了五种对等:外延意义,隐含意义,文本规则,语用及形式对等Newmark’s semantic and communicative translation:1.Replaces Nida’s division with semantic (resembles formal equivalence) and communicative(resembles dynamic equivalence) translation.2.Nida’s division inoperant if the text is out of TL space and time.3.Dynamic equivalence: are readers ‘to be handed everything on a plate’?4.Semantic translation differs from literal in that it ‘respects context’, interp rets and explains(metaphors). Literal translation is to be the best approach in both semantic and communicative translation. If semantic translation would result in an ‘abnormal’ TT or would not secure equivalent effect in the TL, then communicative translation should win out.Tertium comparationis, an invariant against which 2 text segments can be measured to determine variation.Chapter 4: The translation shift approach:1.Vinay and Darbelnet’s taxonomy:a)Direct (=literal) translation:(1).Borrowing(2).Calque(3).literal translation (word-for-word)b).Oblique translation:(4).Transposition(5).modulation6(6)..equivalence(7).adaptationc)The 7 categories operate on 3 levels:1.the lexicon2. 2.syntactic structures3. 3.the message 9context)4. 4.word order and thematic structure5. 5.connectors [cohesive links, discourse markers, deixis (pronouns anddemonstrative pronouns) and punctuation]d)2 possibilities:1.servitude (obligatory 4 and 5)2. 2.option (non-obligatory)2.Catford’s linguis tic approach (shifts)a.Distinction between: formal correspondence (a particular ST-TT pair) and textualequivalence (a pair of lgs).b.When the 2 concepts diverge, a translation shift occurs –a departure from formalcorrespondence in the process of going from the SL to the TL. There are 2 kinds of shift:1. A level shift (sth is expressed by grammar in one lg and by lexis in another)2. A category shift:i.Structural shifts; ii.Class shifts (word category); iii.Unit/rank shifts (sentence, clause,group, word, morpheme);iv.Intra-system shifts (systems are similar, but not always corresponding).3. van Leuven-Zwart’s microlevel/macrolever translation shifts:a.The comparative model (a detailed comparison of ST and TT and classification of allthe microstructural shifts within sentences, clauses and phrases);b.The descriptive model (a macrostructural model, designed for the analysis oftranslated literature)Chapter 5: Functional theories of translation:K. Reiss’s text typesNord adds to 3 types of language function a fourth ‘phatic’ function, covering lg that establishes or maintains contact between parties involved in the communication (e.g. greetings).Holz-Manttari’s translational action model for non-literary translations with1.its roles and players:a The initiator;b b.The commissioner (contacts the translator);c.The ST producer;d.The TTproducer;e.The TT user;f.The TT receiver.2.Content:a Factual information; b.Overall communicative strategy.3.Form: a.Terminology; b.Cohesive elements.J. Vermeer’s skopos theory: knowing the purpose and the function of translation is crucial (adequacy over equivalence).Ch. Nord’s translation-oriented text analysis:1.2 kinds of translation: a.Documentary translation(a)reader knows that he’s reading a translation;(b)Instrumental translation (a reader doesn’t know that).2.3 aspects of functionalist approaches particularly useful in translator training:a)The importance of the translation commission;b)The role of ST analysis;c)The functional hierarchy of translation problemsChapter 6: Discourse and register approaches:Halliday’s model of language and discourse b ased on systemic functional grammar (lg=communication):Influence:House’s model of translation qu ality assessment:1.Scheme for analyzing and comparing original and translation texts:Translation: a.Overt;b.Covert.Baker’s text and pragmatic level analysis:1.Textual function2.Cohesion3.Pragmatics:a.Coherence (depends on receiver’s expectations and experience of theworld);b.Presupposition (what the speaker supposes a listener shouldknow);c.Implicature (what the speaker implies).Hatim and Mason’s semiotic level of context and discourse:Text elements:1.Stable (translated fairly literally);2.Dynamic (not).Chapter 7: Systems theories:脚注:1.What is being written about.2.Who is communicating and to whom.3.The form of communication e.g. writtenEven-Zohar’s polysystem theory: a literary work as apart of a literary system in the social, cultural, literary and historical framework. It’s important [for choosing the translation strategy] if translated literature has a primary or secondary position in given literature.Toury and descriptive translation studies (DTS):1.Situate the text within the target culture system, looking at its significance oracceptability;2. pare the ST and the TT for shifts, identifying relationships between ‘coupled pairs’of ST and TT segments, and attempting generalizations about the underlying concept of translation;3. 3.Draw implications for decision-making in future translating.Norms of translation behaviour can be reconstructed from:1.The examinations of texts;2. 2.The explicit statement made about norms by translators, publishers, reviewers and otherparticipants in the translation actNorms:1.Initial norm (general translator’s choice):a.Subjection to source culture norms adequate translation;b.Subjection to target culture norms acceptable translation.2.Preliminary norms:a.Translation policy (text selection);b.Directness of translation (ST TT; ST t2 TT).3.Operational norms (the presentation and linguistic matters of the TT):a.Matricial norms (completeness of TT);b.Textual-linguistic norms (TT linguistic material).‘Laws’ of translation:1.Of growing standardization (tending to TT common options);2.Of interference (ST options transferred to TT, negatively or positively).Chesterman’s translation norms:1.Product or expectancy norms;2. 2.Process or professional norms:a.The accountability norm (an ethical norm);b.The communication norm (a social norm);c.The‘relation’ norm (a linguistic norm).Other DTS models:1.Manipulation School (‘a continual interplay between theoretical models and practical casestudies’);mbert and van Gorp – the scheme for the comparison of the ST and TT literary systems andfor the description of relations within them:a.Preliminary data;b.Macro-level;c.Micro-level;d.Systemic context (data compared andnorms identified)Chapter 8 "Varieties of cultural studies" examines Lefevere (1992), who treats translation as "rewriting" and identifies ideological pressures on translated texts. This chapter also looks at the writing of Simon (1996) on gender in translation, and at postcolonial translation theories which stress the part that translation has played in the colonization process and the image of the colonized (cf. Bassnett and Trivedi 1999).Lefevere (1992) treats translation as "rewriting" and identifies ideological and poetological pressures on translated texts. Translation functions are controlled by the following factors:1.Professionals within the literary system;2.Patronage outside the literary system:a.The ideological component;b.The economic component;c.The status component.d.If a-c come from the same source – patronage is undifferentiated; if not – differentiated.3.The dominant poetics:a.Literary devices;b.The concept of the role of literature.Simon compares the status of translation throughout the centuries to that of women’s and presents pro-feminist methods in translation.Postcolonial translation theories:1.Spivak: ‘translationese’ eliminates the identity of politically less powerful individuals andcultures.2. 2.Spivak: compares the status of translation throughout the centuries to that of colonies.3.Power relations : trans lation as the colonizer’s device used against the colonized.4.S. Bassnett and H. Trivedi’s translational linked to transnatio nal (translation=battleground).Brazilian cannibalism: the colonizers and their lg are devoured, their life force invigorating the devourers, who transform it according to their needs.The Irish context: postcolonialism in Europe.Chapter 9: Translating the foreign:the (in)visibility of translation: A. Berman’s ‘negative analytic’ of translation that prevents the foreign coming thr ough. ‘Deforming tendencies’:1.Rationalization;2.Clarification;3.Expansion;4.Ennoblement;5.Qualitative impoverishment;6.Quantitative impoverishment;7.The destruction of rhythms;8.The destruction of underlying networks of signification;9.The destruction of linguistic patternings;10.The destruction of vernacular1 networks or their exoticization;11.The destruction of expressions and idioms;12.The effacement of the superimposition of languages.‘Positive analytic’ = literal translation.Venuti:1.The invisibility of the translator in contemporary Anglo-American culture.2. 2.Domestication (dominant in connection with the translator’s invisibility) –‘the authortowards the reader’.3. 3.Foreignization –‘the reader towards the writer’ – resistancy – minoritizing (desirable).4. 4.‘Call for action’ –‘visibility’ + ‘foreignization’.Chapter 10: Philosophical theories of translation:Steiner’s hermeneutic1 approach to translation as ‘the act of elicitation and appropriate transfer of meaning’. The parts of the hermeneutic moti on:1.Initiative trust;2. 2.Aggression (penetration);3. 3.Incorporation (embodiment);4. pensation (restitution)Ezra Pound’s energy of language: translation as a tool in the cultural struggle, and the revitalization of the past.W. Benjamin’s task of the translator: translation gives the original ‘continued life’; pure language = coexistence of SL and TL; literal rendering of the syntax.J. Derrida’s deconstruction: capturing the meaning? No stability in the signified-signifier (meaning-sign) relationship; the opposition between SL and TL.1.Letter=Judaism=justice;2.Spirit=Christianity=mercy.Chapter 11: Translation studies as an interdiscipline:M.

discourse analysis of translation

discourse analysis of translation

discourse analysis of translationDiscourse analysis of translation refers to the examination and analysis of the discourse features and strategies employed in the process of translating texts from one language to another. It involves studying the linguistic, cultural, and social aspects of both the source and target texts, as well as the translation process itself.Discourse analysis of translation focuses on how the translator's choices and decisions impact the overall meaning, style, and effectiveness of the translated text. It explores how linguistic and contextual factors shape the translation process, and how the translator navigates various challenges and constraints.Some key aspects that discourse analysis of translation may cover include:1. Textual coherence and cohesion: How the translator maintains or modifies the coherence and cohesion of the original text in the translation.2. Pragmatics and context: How the translator adapts the pragmatic andcontextual elements of the source text to the target language and culture.3. Register and style: How the translator deals with differences in register, style, and tone between the source and target texts.4. Ideology and power relations: How the translator negotiates ideological and power dynamics present in the source text and target culture.5. Intertextuality: How the translator handles intertextual references and cultural references in the translation.6. Translation strategies: How the translator employs various translation strategies, such as literal translation, adaptation, compensation, paraphrasing, or cultural substitution.By analyzing these aspects, discourse analysis of translation aims to shed light on the complex nature of translation as a communicative and cultural practice, and to understand the impact of translation choices on the target text and its reception.。

零翻译类型研究_李家春

零翻译类型研究_李家春

零翻译类型研究*李家春(黑龙江大学,哈尔滨150080;上海外国语大学,上海200083)提要:零翻译作为翻译方法之一,其内涵和外延仍不够清晰。

我们在系统调查零翻译使用现状的基础上,重新界定零翻译,并从多角度对零翻译进行分类。

我们认为,不能忽视零翻译存在的客观性、广泛性和多样性,不应一刀切地赞成或反对零翻译,应该从语篇类型、产生媒介、呈现方式等多个层面进行理性分析。

关键词:零翻译;语言政策;语篇类型;语域中图分类号:H059文献标识码:A文章编号:1000-0100(2013)03-0095-5On the Types of Zero TranslationLi Jia-chun(Heilongjiang University,Harbin150080,China;Shanghai International Studies University,Shanghai200433,China)Zero translation,as one of the translation methods,should have clear connotation and denotation.On the basis of the sys-tematic investigation of the use of zero translation,we try to redefine the concept of zero translation and make a clearer classifica-tion.We can not ignore its objectivity and diversity,and we should not be absolutely in favor of or against the zero translation.We should judge from the genre of discourse,media,ways of presentation and other perspectives.Key words:zero translation;language policy;genre;register1零翻译界定目前,零翻译的外延并不明确。

?1. 语义分析
? 语义分析(Semantic Analysis)是语言 分析的一个分支,说明处在一定语境中, 按照一定次序排列的词项之间的语义关系, 探索词项的意义。把握好原语的全部意义, 是翻译成效的关键。
? 1)首先,必须注意词的概念意义(Conceptual Meaning) 和关联意义(Associative Meaning)。
翻译的过程
一般认为,翻译过程包括两个阶段:正确理解 (Accurate Comprehension )和充分表达( Adequate Representation )。前者是后者的前提,后者是前者 的结果,两者是有机的统一,是使译文符合“忠实、 通顺”的翻译标准的必备条件。
一、理解阶段
? 理解(comprehension)可分为广义理解和狭义理解。广义 理解指对原文作者的个人、原文产生的时代背景、作品的内容 以及原文读者对该作品的反映。狭义的理解仅指对原作文本的 理解。这中理解主要包括语法分析、语义分析、语体分析和语 篇分析(grammatical analysis, semantic analysis, stylistic analysis and text analysis)。理解是翻译成功与否的先决条件 和重要步骤,务必正确可靠,杜绝谬误。

The target language should be easy and smooth for people to read. Communicate with people speaking different languages, eg. exchange ideas or culture.
Characteristics of translation
Translate what is written or what is spoken. No right to change and correct the source language. To understand the source text and to express in the target text . Should not stick to the original meaning in translate and make your translation meet the customary expressions in the target language.
Translation Studies (Translatology)
Translatology is a general term of translation studies Translation Studies is the top level of translation Elements of social science and the humanities Dealing with the systematic study of the theory The Description and the application of translation, interpreting Translation can be Normative and Descriptive

Lecture 01  Main issues of translation studies

IntroductionTranslation studies is the new academic discipline related to the study of the theory and phenomena of translation. By its nature it is multilingual and also interdisciplinary, encompassing languages, linguistics, communication studies, philosophy and a range of types of cultural studies.“Readers” of key writings on translation:1) Andrew Chesterman’s Readings in Translation Theory (1989)2) Andre Lefevere’s Translation/History/Culture: A Sourcebook (1992)3) Rainer Schulte and John Biguener’s Theories of Translation: An Anthology of Essays fromDryden to Derrida (1992)4) Douglas Robinson’s Western Translation Theory from Herodotus to Nietzsche (1997)5) Lawrence Venuti’s The Translation Studies Reader (2000)6) 罗新璋《翻译论集》(商务印书馆,1984)7) 杨自俭和刘学云《翻译新论》(湖北教育出版社, 1994)8) 刘靖之’s《翻译论集》(香港:三联书店(香港)有限公司, 1981)9) The Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation Studies (Baker 1997)10) The Dictionary of Translation Studies (Shuttleworth and Cowie 1997)11)《中国翻译词典》(湖北教育出版社,1997)11 lectures included in this course:Lecture 1 Main issues of translation studiesLecture 2 Translation theory before the twentieth centuryLecture 3 Equivalence and equivalent effectLecture 4 The translation shift approachLecture 5 Functional theories of translationLecture 6 Discourse and register analysis approachesLecture 7 Systems theoriesLecture 8 Varieties of cultural studiesLecture 9 Translating the foreign: the (in)visibility of translationLecture 10 Philosophical theories of translationLecture 11 Translation studies as an interdisciplineThe format of each lecture:◆an introductory table clearly presenting key terms and ideas;◆the main text, describing in detail the models and issues under discussion;◆an illustrative case study, which applies and evaluates the main model of the lecture;◆suggestions for further reading;◆a brief evaluative summary of the lecture;◆a series of discussion and research points to stimulate further thought and research.Lecture 1 Main issues of translation studiesContents1.1 The concept of translation1.2 What is translation studies?1.3 A brief history of the discipline1.4 The Holmes/Toury ‘map’1.5 Developments since the 1970s1.6 Aim of this course and a guide to lectures1.1 The concept of translationTranslation:the general subject field;the product: the text that has been translatedthe process: the act of producing the translation, or translatingThe process of translation (or translating) involves the translator changing an original written text or the source text (ST) in the original verbal language or the source language(SL) into a written text or the target text (TT) in a different verbal language or the target language (TL).→‘interlingual translation’.Jakobson’s (1959) categories of translation:1. intralingual translation, or ‘rewording’: ‘an interpretation of verbal signs by means of othersigns of the same language’;2. interlingual translation, or ‘translation proper’: ‘an interpretation of verbal signs by means ofsome other language’;3. intersemiotic translation, or ‘transmutation’: ‘an interpretation of verbal signs by means of signsof non-verbal sign systems’).1.2 What is translation studies?James S. Holmes (“The Name and Nature of Translation Studies”, 1972): Translation Studies is concerned with ‘the complex of problems clustered round the phenomenon of translating and translations’ (Holmes 1988/2000: 173).Mary Snell-Hornby (Translation Studies: An Integrated Approach, 1988): ‘the demand that translation studies should be viewed as an independent discipline . . . has come from several quarters in recent years’.Snell-Hornby (1995): ‘the breathtaking development of translation studies as an independent discipline’and the ‘prolific international discussion’ on the subject.Mona Baker (The Routledge Encyclopedia of Translation, 1997): ‘exciting new discipline, perhaps the discipline of the 1990s’Two ways translation studies has become more prominent:1) A proliferation of specialized translating and interpreting courses at both undergraduate and postgraduate level.In the UK in the 1960s: the first specialized university postgraduate courses in interpreting and translating established.In the UK in the academic year 1999/2000: at least 20 postgraduate translation courses and several designated ‘Centres of Translation’.250 university-level bodies in over 60 countries offering four-year undergraduate degrees and/or postgraduate courses in translation, training professional commercial translators and interpreters. (Caminade & Pym, 1995)2) Courses focusing on the practice of literary translation:In the UK: (1) Middlesex University; (2) the University of East Anglia (Norwich) (which houses the British Centre for Literary Translation).In Europe: a network of centres where literary translation is studied, practised and promoted, including Norwich, Amsterdam (the Netherlands), Arles (France), Bratislava (Slovakia), Dublin (Ireland), Rhodes (Greece), Sineffe (Belgium), Strälen (Germany), Tarazona (Spain) and Visby (Sweden).The 1990s also saw a proliferation of conferences, books and journals on translation in many languages.Long-standing international translation studies journals:Babel (the Netherlands)Meta (Canada)Across Languages and Cultures (Hungary)Literature in Translation (UK)Perspectives: Studies in Translatology (Denmark)Target (Israel/Belgium)The Translator (UK)Parallèles (Switzerland) and Traduire (France)Cadernos de Tradução (Brazil)Rivista Internazionale di Tecnica della Traduzione (Italy)Turjuman (Morocco)The main European publishers publishing books in translation studies:John BenjaminsMultilingual MattersRodopiRoutledgeSt JeromeProfessional publications dedicated to the practice of translation in the UKThe Linguist of the Institute of LinguistsThe ITI Bulletin of the Institute for Translating and InterpretingIn Other Words, the literary-oriented publication of the Translators’ AssociationTRANSST (Israel)BET (Spain)Key themes of international translation conferences (1999–2000):• translation and training translators (Bratislava, Slovakia);• literary translation (Mons, Belgium);• research models in translation studies (UMIST, Manchester, UK);• gender and translation (Norwich, UK);• translation as/at the crossroads of culture (Lisbon, Portugal);• translation and globalization (Tangiers, Morocco);• legal translation (Geneva, Switzerland);• translation and meaning (Maastricht, the Netherlands and Lodz, Poland);• the history of translation (Leon, Spain);• transadaptation and pedagogical challenges (Turku, Finland);• translation-focused comparative literature (Pretoria, South Africa and Salvador, Brazil).From being a little-established field a relatively short time ago, translation studies has now become one of the most active and dynamic new areas of research encompassing an exciting mix of approaches.1.3 A brief history of the disciplineWritings on the subject of translating go far back in recorded history.Cicero and Horace (first century BCE) and St Jerome (fourth century CE)The Greek Septuagint BibleStudy of translation developed into an academic discipline only in the second half of the 20th century.The grammar-translation method fell into increasing disrepute with the rise of the direct method or communicative approach to English language teaching in the 1960s and 1970s.▲Translation workshopIn the US, translation was promoted in universities in the 1960s by the translation workshop concept. The translation workshops were first established in the universities of Iowa and Princeton with the intention of introducing new translations into the target culture and for the discussion of the finer principles of the translation process and of understanding a text.▲Comparative literatureIn comparative literature, literature is studied and compared transnationally and transculturally, necessitating the reading of some literature in translation. This would later link into the growth of courses of the cultural studies type.▲Contrastive analysisContrastive analysis is the study of two languages in contrast in an attempt to identify general and specific differences between them. It developed into a systematic area of research in the USA from the 1930s onwards and came to the fore in the 1960s and 1970s. The contrastive approach heavily influenced other studies, such as Vinay and Darbe lnet’s (1958) and Catford’s (1965), which overtly stated their aim of assisting translation research. However, contrastive analysis does not incorporate sociocultural and pragmatic factors, nor the role of translation as a communicative act.Nevertheless, the continued application of a linguistic approach in general, and specific linguistic models such as generative grammar or functional grammar, has demonstrated an inherent and gut link with translation.The evolving field of translation studies can point to its own systematic models that have incorporated other linguistic models and developed them for its own purposes.The construction of the new discipline does not consider translation as primarily connected to language teaching and learning, but as the specific study of what happens in and around translating and translation.The more systematic approach to the study of translation began in the 1950s and 1960s:• Jean-Paul Vinay and Jean Darbelnet’s contrastive approach(1958): categorizing what they saw happening in the practice of translation between French and English;• Alfred Malblanc (1963) did the same for translation between French and German;• Georges Mounin(1963): examining linguistic issues of translation;• Eugene Nida (1964): incorporating elements of Chomsky’s generative grammar as a theoretical underpinning of his books.The word ‘science’ was used by Nida in Toward a Science of Translating (1964).The German equivalent, ‘Übersetzungswissenschaft’, was taken up by Wolfram Wilss, Koller and the Leipzig school (where Kade and Neubert became active).1.4 The Holmes/Toury ‘map’A seminal paper in the development of the field as a distinct discipline was James S. Holmes’s (1972) ‘The name and nature of translation studies’. Gentzler describes it as ‘generally accepted as the founding statement for the field’ (1993: 92).Figure 1.1Two objectives of the ‘pure’ areas of research:1. The description of the phenomena of translation (descriptive translation theory);2. The establishment of general principles to explain and predict such phenomena (translationtheory). (Holmes 1988b/2000: 176–81)The ‘theoretical’ branch is divided into general and partial theories:‘General’ theoretical studies: describing or accounting for every type of translation and makinggeneralizations that will be relevant for translation as a whole.‘Partial’ theoretical studies: (to be discussed below).Three possible foci of descriptive translation studies (DTS): examination of (1) the product, (2) the function and (3) the process:1. Product-oriented DTS examines existing translations, including the description or analysis ofa single ST–TT pair or a comparative analysis of several TTs of the same ST (into one or moreTLs). These smaller-scale studies can build up into a larger body of translation analysis looking at a specific period, language or text/discourse type. Larger-scale studies can be either diachronic (following development over time) or synchronic (at a single point or period in time). ‘One of the eventual goals of product-oriented DTS might possibly be a general history of translations – however ambitious such a goal might sound at this time’. (Holmes, 1988/2000: 177)2. Function-oriented DTS refers to the description of the ‘function[of translations] in therecipient sociocultural situation: it is a study of contexts r ather than texts’ (Holmes, 1988/2000: 177). Issues that may be researched include which books were translated when and where, and what influences they exerted. This area (then termed ‘socio-translation studies’, but now called cultural-studies-oriented translation) was less researched at that time, but is more popular in current work on translation studies.3. Process-oriented DTS is concerned with the psychology of translation, trying to find out whathappens in the mind of a translator, but has still not yet been systematically analyzed.The results of DTS research can be fed into the theoretical branch to evolve either a general theory of translation or partial theories of translation ‘restricted’ according to the following subdivisions:• Medium-restricted theories: subdividing according to translation by machine and humans, with further subdivisions according to whether the machine/computer is working alone or as an aid to the human translator, to whether the human translation is written or spoken and to whether spoken translation (interpreting) is consecutive or simultaneous.• Area-restricted theories:restricted to specific languages or groups of languages and/or cultures. It is closely related to work in contrastive linguistics and stylistics.• Rank-restricted theories: restricted to a specific level of the word or sentence or text.• Text-type restricted theories:related to specific discourse types or genres, such as literary, business and technical translation. Text-type approaches came to prominence with the work of Reiss and Vermeer in the 1970s.• Time-restricted: referring to theories and translations limited according to specific time frames and periods (i.e. the history of translation).• Problem-restricted theories: referring to specific problems (such as equivalence) or whether universals of translated language exist.Several different restrictions can apply at any one time. For example, the study of the translation of novels would be area restricted, text-type restricted and time restricted.The ‘applied’ branch of Holmes’s framework concerns:• translator training: teaching methods, testing techniques, curriculum design;• translation aids: such as dictionaries, grammars and information technology;•translation criticism: the evaluation of translations, including the marking of student translations and the reviews of published translations.Translation policy: the translation scholar advise on the place of translation in society, including what place, if any, it should occupy in the language teaching and learning curriculum.Figure 1.2The merit of Holmes’s divisions: they allow a clarification and a division of labour between the various areas of translation studies which, in the past, have often been confused (Toury, 1995: 9) The crucial role of Holmes’s paper: delineating the potential of translation studies.‘Translation policy’ would nowadays far more likely be related to the ideology that determines translation than was the case in Holmes’s description.The restrictions of Holmes’s divisions:1) A discourse-type and a text-type restriction2) Inclusion of interpreting as a sub-category of human translation3) Omission of any mention of the individuality of the style, decision-making processes andworking practices of human translators involved in the translation process (Pym, 1998: 4) 1.5 Developments since the 1970sThe surge in translation studies since the 1970s has seen different areas of Holmes’s map come to the fore.◆Contrastive analysis has fallen by the wayside.◆The linguistic-oriented ‘science’ of translation has continued strongly in Germany, but theconcept of equivalence associated with it has declined.◆Germany has seen the rise of theories centred around text types (Reiss) and text purpose (theskopos theory of Reiss and Vermeer).◆The Hallidayan influence of discourse analysis and systemic functional grammar has beenprominent over the past decades, especially in Australia and the UK, and has been applied to translation in works by Bell (1991), Baker (1992) and Hatim and Mason (1990, 1997).◆The descriptive approach (originating in comparative literature and Russian Formalism) rose inthe late 1970s and the 1980s.◆In Tel Aviv, Itamar Even-Zohar and Gideon Toury have pursued the idea of the literarypolysystem in which different literatures and genres, including translated and non-translated works, compete for dominance.◆The polysystemists have worked with a Belgium-based group (including José Lambert and thelate André Lefevere), and with the UK-based scholars Susan Bassnett and Theo Hermans.◆The Manipulation of Literature: Studies in Literary Translation (Hermans, 1985) gave rise tothe name of the ‘Manipulation School’ and held sway for much of the following decade.◆The 1990s saw the incorporation of new schools and concepts:●Canadian-based translation and gender research led by Sherry Simon;●The Brazilian cannibalist school promoted by Else Vieira;●Postcolonial translation theory, with the prominent figures of the Bengali scholarsTejaswini Niranjana and Gayatri Spivak;●In the USA, the cultural-studies-oriented analysis of Lawrence Venuti, who champions thecause of the translator.1.6 Aim of this course and a guide to LecturesLecture 2 describes some of the major issues discussed in writings about translation up to the middle of the 20th century. This huge range of over two thousand years, beginning with Cicero in the first century BC, focuses on the ‘literal vs. free’ translation debate. It aims to initiate discussion on some of the key issues.Lecture 3deals with the concepts of meaning, equivalence and ‘equivalent effect’, encompassing Nida’s generative-influenced model of translation transfer and his concepts of formal equivalence and dynamic equivalence. Newmark’s categories of semantic translation and communicative translation are also discussed, as is Koller’s analysis of equivalence.Lecture 4 details attempts that have been made to provide a taxonomy of the linguistic changes or ‘shifts’ which occur in translation. The main model described here is Vinay and Darbelnet’s classic taxonomy, but reference is also made to Catford’s linguistic model and van Leuven-Zwart’s translation shift approach from the 1980s.Lecture 5 covers Reiss and Vermeer’s text-type and skopos theory of the 1970s and 1980s and Nord’s text-linguistic approach. Translation is analyzed according to text type and function in the TL culture, and concepts of text analysis –such as word order, information structure and thematic progression – are employed.Lecture 6 considers House’s register analysis model and the development of discourse-oriented approaches in the 1990s by Baker and Hatim and Mason, who make use of Hallidayan linguistics to examine translation as communication within a sociocultural context.Lecture 7 investigates systems theories and the field of target-oriented ‘descriptive’ translation studies, following Even-Zohar, Toury and the work of the Manipulation School.Lecture 8 examines varieties of cultural studies approaches in translation studies. These start with Lefevere’s work of the 1980s and early 1990s and move on to more recent developments in gender studies and translation (in Canada) and to postcolonial translation theories (in India, Brazil and Ireland).Lecture 9 follows Berman and Venuti in examining the foreign element in translation and the ‘invisibility’ of the translator. The idea is explored that the practice of translation, especially in the English-speaking world, is considered to be a derivative and second-rate activity, and that the prevailing method of translation is ‘naturalizing’. The role of literary translators and publishers is also described.Lecture 10 investigates a selection of philosophical issues of language and translation, ranging from Steiner’s ‘hermeneutic motion’, Pound’s use of archaisms, Walter Benjamin’s ‘pure’ language, and Derrida and the deconstruction movement.Lecture 11sets out an interdisciplinary approach to translation studies. It discusses Snell-Hornby’s‘integrated approach’and looks at recent studies that have combined linguistic andcultural analysis. The future of translation studies and the role of modern technologies, including the internet, are also discussed.SummaryTranslation studies is a relatively new academic research area that has expanded explosively in recent years. While translation was formerly studied as a language-learning methodology or as part of comparative literature, translation ‘workshops’ and contrastive linguistics courses, th e new discipline owes much to the work of James S. Holmes, whose ‘The name and nature of translation studies’ proposed both a name and a structure for the field. The interrelated branches of theoretical, descriptive and applied translation studies have structured much recent research and have assisted in bridging the gulf that had grown between the theory and practice of translation.Discussion and research points1. How is the practice of translation (and interpreting) structured in China? How many universities offer first degrees in the subject? How many postgraduate courses are there? How do they differ? Isa postgraduate qualification a prerequisite for working as a professional translator?2. Find out how research-based translation studies fits into the university system in China. How many universities offer ‘translation studies’ (or similar) courses? In what ways do they differ from or resemble each other? In which university departments are they housed? What do you conclude is the status of translation studies in China?3. What specific research in translation studies is being carried out in China? How do you find out? Is the work being carried out by isolated researchers or by larger and coordinated groups? How, if at all, would it fit in with Holmes’s‘map’ of translation studies?4. Trace the history of translation and translation studies in China. Has the focus been mainly on the theory or on the practice of translation? Why do you think this is so?Key textsHolmes, J. S.

A Brief Analysis of Subtitle Translation Based on

A Brief Analysis of Subtitle Translation Based on

US-China Foreign Language, April 2019, Vol. 17, No. 4, 177-182 doi:10.17265/1539-8080/2019.04.005A Brief Analysis of Subtitle Translation Based on theIntercultural Perspective—A Case Study of Kung Fu PandaLIU Xin, XIONG ShuhuiUniversity of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, ChinaFilms and television programs are playing an irreplaceable role in serving as the carrier of culture. With the risingof China’s national strength, language and culture have changed in some ways in the process of external exchange,which in turn gives an impetus to the international popularity of Chinese culture. In the case of movie Kung FuPanda, the thesis mainly focuses on the movie subtitling with related to the Chinese characteristics as well as theEnglish translations that deal with the Chinese culture. Through the comparative analysis of the three versions, thispaper compares the subtitle translation between Chinese and English from a cross-cultural perspective, so as tofurther demonstrate the influence of Chinese culture on English films.Keywords: intercultural communication, Kung Fu Panda, subtitle translationIntroductionIn the recent years, the popularity of Chinese culture and the release of so many foreign films with plenty of Chinese elements have rendered Chinese culture more and more important. In this thesis, I will try to analyzeand compare three different translated versions of subtitles of the movie Kung Fu Panda with the purpose ofdiscussing different methods of translating China English and demonstrating the influence of Chinese cultureon the film subtitle.Chinese Elements in Hollywood MoviesChinese characters began to appear in American films in the end of 19th century. We can only see the poverty, ignorance, and numbness of these characters. Since the Cold War, American directors prefer to laughat China through the details of the film. However, Chinese elements are becoming more and more active andattractive. Nowadays, many of Hollywood’s biggest films are incorporating a greater number of Chineseelements into them. The following is a list of these elements.The Chinese CharactersMore and more Chinese actors and actresses achieved international stardom and exerted greater influence on the international stage. In addition to the common supporting roles, Chinese actors and actresses have moreopportunities to be the leading roles than before.LIU Xin, Master, College of Foreign Languages, University of Shanghai for Science and Technology, Shanghai, China.XIONG Shuhui, Ph.D., English Department of College of Foreign Languages, University of Shanghai for Science andTechnology, Shanghai, China.All Rights Reserved.A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF SUBTITLE TRANSLATION178 Symbols of ChinaKung fu and panda seem to be two typical elements related to China; this also shows that in the film. In Ice Age 2, the squirrel sounds much like Li Xiaolong’s screams in his film. The iconic pose of Keanu Reeves is bent backwards in The Matrix , a classic of kung fu master Huang Feihong in real life.The Subtitle Translation of Kung Fu PandaKung Fu Panda is a masterpiece of Hollywood which mixes lots of Chinese cultural elements to Chinese cultural images. In the following parts, the examples of translation from three versions: DVD, FRTVS (风软字幕组), TEL (TEL 字幕组), will be analyzed in detail.The Brief Review of the MovieThe story of Kung Fu Panda is set in the Valley of Peace, a martial arts master-studded place of ancient China. Panda Po has always dreamed of becoming a “Kung Fu Emperor” since childhood. One day, word comes that the aged Mater Shifu would select Dragon Warrior at the Jade Palace. Po is accidentally involved in this martial arts competition held among the Furious Five and unexpectedly selected as the Dragon Warrior responsible for defeating escaped prisoner snow leopard Tarou and saving the Valley of Peace.Culture-Loaded WordsAs Kung Fu Panda sets in ancient China, there are lots of expressions heavily loaded with the Chinese culture. These elements should be rendered in a way that makes the Chinese audience feel at ease. This film reflects the Chinese social and cultural life, so its dialogue often contains the words with Chinese characteristics.Culture-loaded words are words with unique national cultural connotations as well as social cultural significance based on original meaning or conceptual meaning. Culture-loaded words require translators to precisely convey semantic information in original language, and simultaneously maintain original cultural features to the uttermost. During translation process, translators have to consider multiple factors such as original language features, translation objective, and target reader features and find best translation techniques as far as possible. Targeted at relatively great discrepancy in English cultural translation, there are four translation strategies in culture-loaded word translation.(1) Foreignization: maintaining connotations of original language culture by literal translation method or transliteration method.(2) Domestication: realizing functional equivalence by free translation method or replacing inaccessible or ambiguous culture words.(3) Integration: illustrating original language and maintaining cultural connotations of original language for the convenience of audiences.(4) Deletion: reducing inference of subtitle on acoustic image by directly deleting culture words hard to translate and unassociated with textual coherence.Proper names. The names of characters in the films should be as rendered in a Chinese way to make the Chinese audiences feel cordial as possible, written in a way as if they were originally written in Chinese.The following table lists three versions of subtitle translation:All Rights Reserved.A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF SUBTITLE TRANSLATION 179Table 1Four Versions of the Name TranslationNames of roles Literal translation DVD FRTVS TELPo 波阿宝阿波阿宝Monkey 猴子金猴猴子金猴Crane 鹤仙鹤仙鹤仙鹤Viper 毒蛇灵蛇毒蛇灵蛇Tigress 母老虎娇虎老虎娇虎Mantis 螳螂螳螂螳螂螳螂Tai Lung 太郎大龙/黑豹太郎泰狼大龙Zeng 曾小善飞鸽小善The Furious Five 暴怒的五人盖世五侠无畏五侠威猛五侠The Dragon Warrior 龙战士神龙大侠神龙武士神龙大侠Whispering Warriors 低语武士昵喃武士低语武士之瓮昵喃武士Tenshu Army 藤树军队天守大军天书军天守大军Master Flying Rhino 飞行犀牛师傅飞犀牛大侠飞行犀牛大师飞天犀牛大师Jade Palace 玉石殿翡翠宫翡翠宫翡翠宫Example 1Po and ZengFrom Table 1, it can be seen that literal translation may be rigid, making the roles lose their lively character and attraction.In DVD version, the main character Po’s name is translated to “宝” instead of transliteration of “波”. The origin of “Po” can be explained by the film creators through the transliteration of Chinese word “宝” as “Po”,because the word “宝” itself in Chinese is a popular word which was given the meaning of “hold something orsomebody in high esteem”. The addition of “阿” conforms to the way Chinese people name their children,usually with two characters.Example 2Master Oogway & ShifuThe tortoise is generally regarded as a symbol of longevity and representative of wisdom in Chinese traditional culture. Because of its longevity, it can experience the life progress that many other creatures cannotundergo. In Kung Fu Panda, a venerable master is a tortoise; he is Po’s Shifu and called “Master Oogway”which is translated into “乌龟大师”. He is also the represent of reigns supreme and the incarnate of wisdom.Using the Pinyin transliteration words “乌龟大师” directly, obvious, this word is very strange to foreignaudience, but just due to this strange pronunciation and spelling form that can arouse the curiosity of audienceand experience the mysterious state of master. Why not called this role “Master Tortoise”? Because tortoise is aslow, ugly, and common animal in western cultural image, the use of the strange Chinese transliteration wordcan add to make that image more mysterious and exotic.Another Chinese transliteration words is “Master Shifu”. “Master Shifu” reflects the cultural images which indicate “teacher’s dignity” totally by the pronunciation. The word “Shifu” directly used in the film shows theprofound influence of Chinese culture to the world culture. It can even be predicted that in the future, Shifu willbecome a member of the English vocabulary.Example 3The Furious FiveAll Rights Reserved.A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF SUBTITLE TRANSLATION180 “Furious” always is marked by extreme and violent energy, which gives people a power of justice. If literal translated the word into Chinese: “暴怒的”, it may lose its grandeur. But if translated it into “威猛”, “无畏”, and “盖世”, then a brave and justice image stands vividly on the paper.“侠” is a character very familiar to the Chinese audience and it is often used to refer to heroes. The two translations demonstrate the superior kung fu skills and their strong sense of justice.Example 4The Dragon Warrior“Dragon” has always been a controversial image in the eyes of scholars, because “Dragon” in the western cultural image is nothing but an evil creature which has huge wings and powerful force. In Kung Fu Panda , Panda Po was selected by Master Oogway as the “Dragon Warrior” which was a very noble and righteous title in everyone’s eyes. The use of “Dragon” in the film has been completely sinicized, due to that fact that it absorbed and advocated Chinese elements actively. So the word “Dragon” can be regarded as the Chinese English.Example 5The Jade Palace“Jade” means “玉” in Chinese. But translating “The Jade Palace” into “玉宫” may be a little stiff. Since the film is set in ancient China, the rendering to “翡翠” fits in the style of the grand palace and makes audiences to be charmed by the quaintness of the picture.Terms related to kung fu. China is famous for its profound culture of kung fu all over the world. There are many fight scenes and kung fu terms in this film. A large number of kung fu words are used and they should be translated back to Chinese by using special kung fu terms that are often used in Chinese Wuxia filmsand series.Table 2Other Kung Fu-Related ExpressionsNames of kung fuDVD FRTVS TEL The Dragon Scroll神龙秘笈 神龙手卷 神龙秘籍 Feet of Fury佛山无影脚 佛山无影脚 愤怒之脚 The Invisible Trident of Destiny隐形天命三叉戟 隐形命运网 隐形天命三叉戟 The Wuxi Finger Hold无极拈花指 弹指神功 无须铁指扣 Wings of Justice 正义之翼正义之翼 正义之翼Example 6The Dragon ScrollThese two versions all show the tradition that Chinese people are very worshiping the dragon and kung fu myths. The addition of “神” and “秘” make the translation not only a four-character expression in conformity with the way of expression in Chinese but also is closer to Wuxia.Example 7Feet of FuryIf literal translated “Feet of Fury” to “愤怒之脚”, it would be displayed too straightforwardly. The translator uses the commonly-used term of kung fu in Chinese, “佛山无影脚”, which is straight to the point and easy for the Chinese audience to gasps the point.All Rights Reserved.A BRIEF ANALYSIS OF SUBTITLE TRANSLATION 181Example 8The Wuxi Finger HoldAlthough these three versions all reflect the skill of Wuxia, but “无极拈花指” not only can show the power of fingers completely, but also is romantic and rich in poetry.Linguistic ElementsApart from numerous adoptions of typical Chinese English represented by transliterated words, there are also considerable expressions carried with Taoist culture in the film. Though the cultural images of Taoismwhich has influenced China for thousands of years seem vague here, they are well organized into a systematicalstructure. In this film, Oogway is delineated as the incarnation of the sage with paramount power. Though tacitand silent, he always says classical sentences worthy of pondering. In another word, his words are filled withthe connotations and doctrines of Chinese Taoism such as “passive inaction” and “following the divine Tao”.As a result, these words and expressions can be studied as Chinese English.Example 9“One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.”A: 予欲避之,反促遇之。
