改写理论视角下解读林译小说
改写理论视角下解读林译小说张洁【摘要】林纾是我国晚清时期的翻译奇才,他的作品典雅流畅,风行一时。
由于他的翻译小说中存在大量省略、增添、删节,常被翻译界指责为“不忠实”。
本文从翻译学文化操控派代表人物勒菲维尔的改写理论视角出发,结合林纾所处的特定时期的社会环境,分析了影响他翻译思想和策略的因素,探究了林纾在中国当时社会意识形态、诗学观等因素影响下对西方文学进行改写并取得成功的深层次原因。
%Lin Shu was a wizard at translation in the late Qing Dynasty and was renowned for the elegance and fluency of his translations. However, some critics often accuse his works of infidelity owing to vast omission, addition and abridgement. Based on Lefevere' s rewriting theory, the paper analyzes the factors that impacted on Lin' s translation principles and strategies, and explores the deep-seated reasons for his successful rewriting of Westem literature under the influence of contemporary social ideology and poetics.【期刊名称】《西华大学学报(哲学社会科学版)》【年(卷),期】2011(030)005【总页数】4页(P84-87)【关键词】林纾;勒菲维尔;改写理论;意识形态;诗学观【作者】张洁【作者单位】成都理工大学外国语学院,四川成都610059【正文语种】中文【中图分类】H315.9林纾(1852—1924)是中国近代文学史和翻译史上的重要人物,他究竟翻译了多少作品,至今仍无定论,郑振铎说“成书的共有一百五十六种;其中有一百三十二种是已经出版的”(郑振铎,2009),其他还有说“多达二百零六种”[1]。

That was the question that worried the British economist John Maynard Keynes when he wrote his short essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren” in 1930. Over the next century, he predicted, the economy would become so productive that people would barely need to work at all. For a while, it looked like Keynes was right. In 1930 the average working week was 47 hours in the United States. But by 1970, the number of hours Americans worked on average had fallen to slightly less than 39.B) But then something changed. Instead of continuing to decline, the duration of the working week remained stable. It has stayed at just below 40 hours for nearly five decades. So what happened? Why are people working just as much today as in 1970?C) There would be no mystery in this if Keynes had been wrong about the power of technology to increase the economy’s productivity, which he thought would lead to a standard of living “between four and eight times as high as it is today.” But Keynes got that right: Technology has made the economy massively more productive. According to Benjamin M. Friedman, an economist at Harvard, the U.S. economy is right on track to reach Keynes’s eight-fold (八倍) multiple by 2029. That is a century after the last data Keynes would have had access to.D) In a new paper, Friedman tries to figure out why that increased productivity has not translated into increased leisure time. Perhaps people just never feel materially satisfied, always wanting more money to buy the next new thing. This is a theory that appeals to many economists. “This argument is, at best, far from sufficient,” he writes. If that were the case, why did the duration of the working week decline in the first place?E) Another theory Friedman considers is that, in an era of ever fewer settings that provide effective opportunities for personal connections and relationships, people may place more value on the socializing that happens at work. There is support for this theory. Many people today consider colleagues as friends. But Friedman argues that the evidence for this theory is far from conclusive. Many workers report that they would like to spend more time with family, rather than at work. Furthermore, this theory cannot explain the change in trend in the U.S. working week in the 1970s.F) A third possibility proves more convincing for Friedman. That is: American inequality means that the gains of increasing productivity are not widely shared by everyone. In other words, most Americans are too poor to work less. Unlike the other two explanations Friedman considers, this one fits chronologically (按年代). Inequality declined in America during the period following World War II, along with the duration of the working week. But since the early 1970s it has risen dramatically.G) Keynes’s prediction of a shorter working week rests on the idea that the standard of living would continue rising for everyone. But Friedman says that this is not what has happened. Although Keynes’s eight-fold figure holds up for the economy as a whole, it is not at all the case for the median (中位数的) American worker. For them, output by 2029 is likely to be around 3.5 times what it was when Keynes was writing. This is a bit below his fourto eight-fold predicted range.H) This can be seen in the median worker’s income over this time period, complete with a shift in 1973 that fits in precisely with when the working week stopped shrinking. According to Friedman, between 1947 and 1973 the average hourly wage for normal workers (those who were not in management roles) in private industries other than agriculture nearly doubled in terms of what their money could buy. But by 2013 the average hourly wagefor ordinary workers had fallen 5 percent from the 1973 level in terms of actual purchasing power. Thus, though American incomes may have gone up since 1973, the amount that American workers can actually buy with their money has gone down. For most Americans, then, the magic of increasing productivity stopped working around 1973. Thus, they had to keep working just as much in order to maintain their standard of living.I) What Keynes predicted was a very optimistic version of what economists call technological unemployment. This is the idea that less labor will be necessary because machines can do so much. In Keynes’s vision, the resulting unemployment would be distributed more or less evenly across society in the form of increased leisure. But Friedman says that, for Americans, reality is much darker. Americans now have a labor market in which millions of people—those with fewer skills and less education —are seeking whatever poorly paid work they can get. This is confirmed by a recent poll that found that, for half of hourly workers, their top concern is not that they work too much but that they work too little. This is most likely not because they like their jobs so much. Rather, we can assume it is because they need the money.J) This explanation leaves an important question. If the very rich—the workers who have reaped above-average gains from the increased productivity since Keynes’s time—can afford to work less, why do they continue to work so much? (Indeed, research has shown that the highest earners in America tend to work the most.) Friedman believes that for many top earners, work is a labor of love. They are doing work they care about and are interested in, and doing more of it is not necessarily a burden. For them, it may even be a pleasure. These top earners derive meaning from their jobs and work is an important part of how they think of themselves. And, of course, they are compensated for it at a level that makes it worth their while.K) Friedman concludes that the prosperity (繁荣) Keynes predicted is here. After all, the economy as a whole has grown even more brilliantly than he expected. But for most Americans, that prosperity is nowhere to be seen. And, as a result, neither are those shorter working weeks.36. Some people view socializing at the workplace as a chance to develop personal relationships.37. As ordinary American workers’ average hourly pay had decreased despite increasing productivity, they had to work just as many hours as before to keep their living standards.38. American workers’ average weekly working time has not changed for nearly half a century.39. Friedman believes inequality in the U.S. largely explains why increasing productivity has not resulted in reduced working hours. 40. Many economists assume people’s thirst for material things has prevented them from enjoying more leisure time.41. An economist’s prediction about a shorter average working week seemed to be correct for a time in the 20th century.42. In the U.S. labor market, the primary concern of people with less schooling and fewer skills is to secure any employment even if it is low-paid.43. Keynes was right in predicting that technology would make the economy much more productive.44. Many of the highest earners have a keen interest in and love for what they are doing.45. According to Keynes, there would be a shorter working week with everyone’s standard of living continuing to rise.Section CDirections:There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying?Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self-worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not.This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment.As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving youstronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authenticselves in an effort to be liked.If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliché(老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtfulthat you’ll regret it.46. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation?A) We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us.B) We can never really please other people even if we try as hard as we can.C) We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us.D) We should care about other people’s view as much as they care about our own.47. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people’s approval?A) Our desire to be loved will be fulfilled.B) Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting.C) Our identity as social beings will be affected.D) Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced.48. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of?A) Our desperate longing for interactions with others.B) Our understanding of the workings of the world.C) Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment.D) Our early childhood fear of being deserted.49. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desiredapproval?A) Enjoy a happier life.B) Exercise self-restraint.C) Receive more external validation.D) Strengthen our power of imagination.50. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A) Embrace life for ourselves and for others.B) Base our worth on others’ opinions.C) See our experiences as assets.D) Love ourselves as we are.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Some people have said aging is more a slide into forgetfulness than a journey towards wisdom. However, a growing body of research suggeststhat late-in-life learning is possible. In reality, education does an aging brain good.Throughout life, people’s brains constantly renovate themselves. In the late 1960s, British brain scientist Geoffrey Raisman spied growth in damaged brain regions of rats through an electron microscope; their brains were forging new connections. This meant brains may change every time a person learns something new.Of course, that doesn’t mean the brain isn’t affected by the effects of time. Just as height usually declines over the years, so does brain volume: Humans lose about 4 percent every decade starting in their 40s. But that reduction doesn’t necessarily make people think slower; as long as we are alive and functioning, we can alter our brains with new information and experiences.In fact, scientists now suspect accumulating novel experiences, facts, and skills can keep people’s minds more flexible. New pathways can strengthen our ever-changing mental structure, even as the brain shrinks.Conventional fixes like word puzzles and brain-training apps can contribute to mental durability. Even something as simple as taking a different route to the grocery store or going somewhere new on vacation can keep the brain healthy.A desire for new life challenges can further boost brainpower. Research about aging adults who take on new enterprises shows improved function and memory as well as a reduced risk of mental disease. Openness —a characteristic defined by curiosity and a desire for knowledge—may also help folks pass brain tests. Some folks are born with thistake-in-theworld attitude, but those who aren’t as genetically gifted aren’t necessarily out of luck. While genes can encourage an interest in doing new things, a 2012 study in the journal Psychology and Aging found completing reasoning tasks like puzzles and number games can enhance that desire for novel experiences, which can, in turn, refresh the brain. That’s why brain scientist Richard Kennedy says “It’s not that old dogs can’t learn new tricks. It’s that maybe old dogs don’t realize why they should. ”51. What do some people think of aging adults?A) Their wisdom grows as time goes by.B) Their memory gradually deteriorates.C) They can benefit from late-in-life learning.D) They are likely to have mental health issues.52. What can we conclude from Geoffrey Raisman’s finding?A) Brain damage seriously hinders one’s learning.B) Brain power weakens slower than we imagine.C) Brains can refresh and improve with learning.D) Brains forge connections under new conditions.53. What is one thing that helps maintain the health of our brain even as it shrinks?A) Doing daily routines by conventional means.B) Avoiding worrying about our mental durability.C) Imitating old dogs’ way of learning new tricks.D) Approaching everyday tasks in novel ways.54. What does the author say can contribute to the improvement of brain function?A) Being curious and desiring knowledge.B) Being eager to pass brain tests at an old age.C) Rising to life’s challenges and avoiding risks.D) Boosting immunity to serious mental diseases.55. What is the finding of the 2012 study in the journal Psychology and Aging?A) Wishing to solve puzzles enhances one’s reasoning power.B) Playing number games unexpectedly stimulates one’s memory.C) Desiring new experiences can help to renovate the brain.D) Learning new tricks should not be confined to old dogs only.Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chineseinto English.

CET-4阅读理解文章题材及体裁分析
阅读材料的题材分析 根据考试⼤纲的规定,四级阅读⽂章应当体现题材⼴泛的特点,但所涉及的背景知识应能为学⽣所理解。
纵观1997~ 2002年全真阅读试题,在出现的近60篇短⽂中,涉及⼈⽂类题材的(包括⽂化、历史、教育、⽂学、风俗习惯、⾳乐等)共计 30篇,占总数的50%;社科类题材的(如社会学、⼼理学、经济学等)约占25%,其余为科普类短⽂。
上述统计表明,尽管阅读⽂章题材⼴泛,但从学科划分的⼤类分析,⼜表现为相对集中的特征,即学⽣较为熟悉的⼈⽂类、社科类题材约占总数的3/4,⽽涉及⼀定科学常识、学⽣较为陌⽣的科普题材(如⾃然科学、⽣命科学)只约占总数的1/4。
由此可见,四级阅读篇章基本为常见题材,应在学⽣的掌握范围之内。
但应注意最近⼏年科普类阅读⽂章有所增加。
就体裁⽽⾔,虽然⼤纲规定了阅读短⽂体裁应体现多样化,但从历年全真题来看,体裁为议论⽂和说明⽂的短⽂占到将近90%,描写⽂也有⼀定的数量。
综上所述,四级全真考题题材与体裁分布特征明显。
在题材难度不⼤的情况下,考⽣可以集中精⼒探讨⼀下英语议论⽂和说明⽂的⽂体特征和论证⼿法,以培养正确的阅读和解题思路。
阅读材料的体裁分析 ⼀篇好的阅读短⽂应当⾃成⼀体(self-contained),其中的观点和论据都应与主题或中⼼思想密切相关,即所谓形式上的衔接性与内容上的连贯性。
⽆论是议论⽂还是说明⽂,都有⼀个贯穿全⽂的主线:引论-本论-结论。
读者如果在阅读过程中始终把握这⼀主线,并且围绕主线判断细节与事实,那么⽆论什么样的提问,都可迎刃⽽解。
1.议论⽂的结构特征及论证⽅法 议论⽂的⽬的是"说服",即作者⼒图使读者同意并⽀持其观点,或驳斥某⼀观点。
⼀篇好的议论⽂必须具备以下基本的结构特征:(1)有⼀个有争议的观点;(2)有充⾜的证据;(3)逻辑性强。
掌握以上三个特征,读者在阅读某篇短⽂时⾃会有⼀个明确的判断并采取相应的对策。

从《蝇王》看威廉戈尔丁的原罪思想
2018年14期总第402期ENGLISH ON CAMPUS从《蝇王》看威廉戈尔丁的原罪思想文/蔡好雨 张璐 李燕俐【摘要】为了引起人们对人性的反思,通过对《蝇王》中情节、人物性格以及对原罪起源的分析,揭示作者威廉戈尔丁对原罪的理解和个人观点,以达到反思人性、追求文明进步的目的。
从《圣经》的原罪观出发,介绍了戈尔丁独特的人性观,即没有人可以避免与生俱来的原罪,但现代文明使人实现自我救赎。
分析讨论小说中的原罪主题,讨论人类互相残杀的根源,反思人性与生俱来的缺陷,并呼吁现代文明对人性的救赎。

一、威廉戈尔丁的原罪观威廉·戈尔丁的几乎所有作品都揭示了人类背叛神的结局。
威廉·戈尔丁认为,人的原罪是归因于对神灵的背叛,这将不可避免地导致人类最终的死亡和堕落。
戈尔丁对人性的的哲学观点植根于如二战以及美苏争霸等历史事件。
1.原罪起源。
原罪思想是以《圣经》中亚当和夏娃的故事为基础的,尽管圣经从不使用“原罪”这个词。
对这是一个系统的解释,是由北非神学家奥古斯丁提出的。
传统认为,亚当夏娃偷吃禁果,因此产生了罪,这种罪恶将世代遗传给后人。
这个说法在《圣经》中是有根据的。
虽然人类的状况(痛苦、死亡和普遍的罪恶倾向)是在《创世纪》前几章亚当的堕落故事所描述的,但希伯来圣经并没有描写原罪会遗传给整个人类。
奥古斯丁在《基督的恩典和人类的原罪》一书中指出罪源于人的自由意志的滥用。
奥古斯丁认为,原罪触发了人类更加具体的罪行,并以基因传播的形式传播。

夜莺与玫瑰橡树的象征意义
夜莺与玫瑰橡树的象征意义【篇一:夜莺与玫瑰橡树的象征意义】《夜莺与玫中的象征意义◎黄俐刘永志 (成都理工大学外国语学院,四川成都 610059) 摘要:夜莺的声音音域宽广,婉转动听;玫瑰芬芳馥郁,象征着坚贞不渝的爱情。
然而,奥斯卡王尔德的童话《夜莺与玫瑰》却感人肺腑,催人泪下。
本文旨在对该作品中夜莺、玫瑰、学生、教授女儿以及其他角色的象征意义作具体分析。
关键词:夜莺;玫瑰;王尔德;唯美主义项目基金:本文获得国家社会科学基金一般项目英国文学在晚清中国的传播和影响(项目编号: 13bzw106)的资助;本文获得成都理工大学优秀创新团队培育计划资助。
奥斯卡王尔德一生所写童话不多,仅有九篇,却篇篇经典,流传千古。
他的童话与格林童话、安徒生童话有所不同,似乎不是写给小孩儿看的,而是写给成年人看的。
几乎每一篇王尔德的童话里,都涉及死亡,都有一颗破碎的心,《夜莺与玫瑰》也不例外。
该作品创作于 19 世纪晚期,在 20 世纪初期经由周作人的推介,胡愈之、穆木天、林徽因、巴金等人的翻译而传入中国,传播了悲剧审美意识观与唯美主义思潮。
林徽因则因此译作被视为当时新女性参与翻译活动的典范,现今很多出版社出版的王尔德童话里的《夜莺与玫瑰》仍然采纳的是林徽因译本。
本文旨在对《夜莺与玫瑰》中主要角色的象征意义作详细分析。
一、夜莺的象征意义关于夜莺的传说和诗篇有很多。
如夜莺因怕蛇,夜晚要靠着玫瑰花刺以保持清醒,由于疼痛而哀歌;夜莺会在月圆的午夜时分飞上最高的玫瑰枝,大声歌唱,借玫瑰刺用自己心中的血将玫瑰染红而死;在古希腊神话中,底比斯国王泽托斯的妻子埃冬失手杀死了自己的亲生女儿埃苔露丝,埃冬死后化作一只夜莺,夜夜悲鸣,以表达自己对女儿的愧疚与哀思;奥维德在《变形记》中也提到受到忒瑞俄斯玷污,满腹冤屈的菲罗墨拉在众神祗的庇佑下化身为一只夜莺;在济慈的名诗《夜莺颂》中,夜莺虽引领着诗人走向美好永恒的极乐世界,但终究曲终人散,回到悲苦的现实生活;无论是锡德尼的《夜莺》,还是布里奇斯的《夜莺》,传递的都是虚无缥缈的乌托邦和哀怨的现实世界?? ?? 总的来说,西方人眼中的夜莺与中国文化中杜鹃的形象比较相近,都带有悲情的成分。
功能对等理论视角下的The Distracted Preacher汉译探究
- 215 -校园英语 / 翻译探究功能对等理论视角下的The Distracted Preacher汉译探究成都理工大学外国语学院/仇平平【摘要】本文简要介绍了奈达及其功能对等理论,结合笔者的翻译实践着重从词汇和句法两个层面介绍了在英语短篇小说汉译实践过程中为实现英汉两种语言的功能对等而采取的翻译策略及技巧,为更多译者在翻译实践中正确理解和运用这一理论提供借鉴。
【关键词】The Distracted Preacher 奈达 功能对等一、奈达及其功能对等理论概述尤金•奈达(Eugene A. Nida ,1914-2011),是公认的现代翻译理论的奠基人,他在 1964 年出版了《翻译科学初探》,在书中提出了“形式对等”(formal equivalence)和“动态对等”(dynamic equivalence)的概念。
简单地讲,功能对等就是要让译文和原文在语言的功能上对等,而不是在语言的形式上对应。
译文应在功能上与原作对等,并且他把判断对等与否的大权交给了读者的心理反应,也就是说决定是否对等的是读者。
在奈达看来,翻译就是要在接受语中以最自然的方式重现原文中的信息,首先是重现意义,然后是风格。
要让原文和译文对等,就必须使译文自然,要达到这个目标就必须摆脱原文语言结构对译者的束缚。
译文在译文读者心中的反应是否和原文在原文读者心中的心理反应相似才是奈达所关注的。
二、功能对等理论在本篇小说英译汉实践中的应用在进行小说翻译时,应确保译文不仅能准确传达原文的内容而且要能再现原著的社会背景、人物关系及艺术意境等。
功能对等强调的是语言之间、文化之间能通过寻找翻译共同语,以恰当的方式重新组织信息的形式和语义结构而进行交际。
下文将以哈代的小说The Distracted Preacher 汉译为例,在功能对等理论的指导下,从词汇层面和句法层面对小说翻译过程中实现功能对等的方法进行探讨。
1.词汇层面的功能对等。
