功能对等理论视角下的《时间即生命》翻译研究

功能对等理论视角下的《时间即生命》翻译研究

功能对等理论视角下的《时间即生命》翻译研究作者:李栋来源:《科学与财富》2020年第03期摘要:中國具有深厚的历史积淀,诞生了许多优秀的文学作品。

随着中国经济发展和国际地位提升,中国在引进西方文学作品的同时也开始输出本国优秀文学作品。

张培基教授是中国著名翻译家,在中国翻译界具有重要影响,他翻译的文学作品不仅自然流畅还颇具文采,是文学翻译的经典之作。

功能对等理论是翻译研究的经典理论,在翻译史上具有重要影响。

笔者将以功能对等理论为依据对本篇译文进行研究,进而论证功能对等理论对散文翻译的指导作用。

关键词:散文翻译;《时间即生命》;功能对等理论1. 功能对等理论简介尤金·A·奈达在圣经的翻译实践中总结出了经典的翻译理论,即功能对等翻译理论。

在奈达看来,翻译是以最自然的语言在接受语中以最自然的方式重现原文中的信息,首先是意义,然后是风格。

翻译传达的信息既有表层词汇信息也有深层的文化信息。

翻译不仅是词汇意义上的对等还包括语义、风格和文体的对等(叶子南,2001)。

2. 功能对等理论视角下《时间即生命》翻译研究2.1 词性转换功能对等理论认为,翻译过程并非刻板的字面的完全对等,而是灵活的动态的转换过程(翟芳等,2017)。

英语和汉语分属于不同语系,在不同的文化背景下形成,彼此具有显著差异。

散文句式多样、语言凝练、自然流畅、富于情感,同时,散文的用词灵活考究。

在散文翻译过程中,译者对词汇的灵活转换与翻译非常重要。

原文:每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。

译文:Each click indicating the shortening of one’s life by a little bit.“寿命已经缩短了一部分”缩短是动词。

张培基教授在翻译过程中,并未将其生硬地译为be shortened by,而是考虑到英汉语言的不同特点,将其译为名词化的shortening,这种灵活的转换更符合目的语读者的表达习惯。

一位朋友偶然讲起一件事,有如一篇小小说,听者动容。

There are various ways of returning to nature, but people generally respect the last wish made by their parents towards their journey’s end. A friend of mine incidentally related to me the following occurrence which, like a little story, is very touching: 要点:1,“前人最后一次选择”译者按”父母的临终愿望“之意译为the last wish made by their parents towards their journey’s end,其中one’s journey’s end意为“临终,生命的尽头”也可译为the last wish made by their parents towards the end of their life journey2, “一位朋友偶然讲起一件事”译为 A friend of mineincidentally related to me the following occurrence,其中relate 意为“讲述”其同义词有recount,recourse, speak of,occurrence 指“发生的事情”比thing更加高端啊有木有~3,“听者动容“即”令听者动容“或”令人动容“=touching在新开发的丛林里,一条蜿蜒的小径上,一个衣着素色的女人踽踽独行,径直走向林子里的一棵树。

2)前面说过,张培基先生追求的是再现 原文的神韵,所以张先生在翻译时始终是 站在全局的高度上,透彻理解原文,增益 和删略恰倒好处,使原文潜层语意得到充 分演绎。再看两例:
例2: 这尊塑像站了几百年了,他觉得这是一种苦役。 (艾青《偶像的话》)
译文: Having stood the statue had
赏析:原文中"一朵……一朵……一朵"是一个排比结构,并列关系,而张培基 先生却把它处理为one … another … still another 这种递进结构,使译文更接 近"英式思维",更地道。此外,张先生对几个颜色词的处理也恰倒好处。"Sickly ivory-yellow slightly tinged with blood red" 中两个颜色词组搭配得珠联璧合, 这样,一朵虽然纤弱但对生命仍然执着的蔷薇花便跃然纸上。
赏析:“叶”的涵义是“落叶”,译为fallen leaf; “大约”只不过是一个口头 语,起到舒缓语气的作用,并不是真正意义上的“差不多,可能但不确定”所 以该词可以不必译出; “遥想”这个词的含义已被前文的ancient saying表 达出来了,所以翻译时也可以删略; more than enough是增益成分,准 确表达出了"人们一看见一片落叶就知道秋天已经来临了"的肯定的口气。
译文: It had been snowing all night, not a single star in sight.

赏析 :译文似乎比原文还"雅",s押头韵,night与sight押脚韵,音韵美尽显 其中,充分体现了译者的美学思想。

雨前Praying For Rainfall何其芳He Qifang| 译文摘自张培基《英译中国散文选二》中文:我怀想着故乡的雷声和雨声。

那隆隆的有力的搏击,从山谷返响到山谷,仿佛春之芽就从冻土里震动,惊醒,而怒茁出来。

细草样柔的雨丝又以温存之手抚摸它,使它簇生油绿的枝叶而开出红色的花。

这些怀想如乡愁一样萦绕得使我忧郁了。

我心里的气候也和这北方大陆一样缺少雨量,一滴温柔的泪在我枯涩的眼里,如迟疑在这阴沉的天空里的雨点,久不落下。

英文:I can never forget the thunderstorm we often had in my home town. Over there, whenever the rumble of thunder reverberated across the valley, the buds of spring would seem to sprout freely after being disturbed and roused up from their slumber in the frozen soil. Then tenderly stroked by the soft hands of fine rain, they would put forth bright green leaves and pink flowers. It makes me nostalgic and melancholy to think about the old times and my mind is as depressed as the vast expanse of North China is thirsty. A tear stands in my dull eye and, like the rain lingering in the murky sky, is slow to roll down.要点:1,“那隆隆的有力的搏击,从山谷返响到山谷,仿佛春之芽就从冻土里震动,惊醒,而怒茁出来。

因为时间即生命。

下面是小编分享的英译散文《时间即生命》赏析,欢迎欣赏!时间即生命Time Is Life梁实秋Liang Shiqiu最令人怵目惊心的一件事,是看着钟表上的秒针一下一下的移动,每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。

再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历,每天撕下一张就是表示我们寿命又缩短了一天.因为时间即生命。

It is most startling to hear a watch or clock clicking away the seconds, each click indicating the shortening of one’s life by a little bit. Likewise, with each page torn off the wall calendar, one’s life is shortened by another day. Time, therefore, is life.要点:1,“每移动一下”此处的“移动”专指钟表指针的走动,因此译为click2,” 再看看墙上挂着的可以一张张撕下的日历”因为前文与此句意思相近的表述,所以译为likewise3,“我们寿命又缩短了一天”译为one’s life is shortened by another day,由于中西方思维上的差异,汉语多以人称做主语,代词也比较少,采用主动结构;英语多以物称做主语,多代词~此处无实际意义的“我们”多译为one.4,be shorten by意为“减少了…”在政经类翻译中也常见没有人不爱惜他的生命,但很少人珍视他时间。

如果想在有生之年做一点什么事,学一点什么学问,充实自己,帮助别人,使生命成为有意义,不虚此生,那么就不可浪费光阴。

这道理人人都懂,可是很少人真能积极不懈的善为利用他的时间。

Time Is Life
by Liang Shih-chiu
It is most startling to hear a watch or clock clicking away the seconds, each click indicating the shortening of one‟s life by a little bit. Likewise, with each page torn off the wall calendar, one‟s life is shortened by another day. Time, therefore, is life. Nevertheless, few people treasure their time as much as their life. Time must not be wasted if you want to do your bit in your remaining years or acquire some useful knowledge to improve yourself and help others, so that your life may turn out to be significant and fruitful. All that is foolproof, yet few people really strive to make the best use of their time.
Time Is Life
by Liang Shቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱh-chiu
Personally, I am also a fritterer. I don‟t play mahjong. I seldom go to the theatre or cinema—I go there maybe only once every few years. I seldom spend long hours watching TV—usually I watch TV for no more than 30 minutes at a sitting. Nor do I go visiting and gossiping from door to door. Some people asked me, “Then what do you do with most of your time?” Introspecting with remorse, I found that apart from the time earmarked from my job and unavoidable social activities, most of my time had been wasted. I should have concentrated my energies on reading whatever books I have not yet read. I should have utilized all my time in writing anything I want to write. But I‟ve failed to do so. Very much of my time has been frittered away aimlessly. As the saying goes, “One who does not work hard in youth will grieve in vain in old age.”

我国著名翻译家张培基先生的英译文《时间与生命》(原文为梁实秋所作)载于《中国翻译》1997年第3期),该译文简洁流畅、生动传神,确实是我们学习的典范。

例如,译文的第一
句便极为精彩: 最令人怵目惊心的一件事发生在EEG平台注册的时候,是看着钟表上的秒针一下一下的移动,每移动一下就是表示我们的寿命已经缩短了一部分。

It is most startling to see a watch or clock clicking away the seconds, each click meaning the shortening of one's life by a little bit. clicking away the seconds译得最为传神。

click一词不仅生动地表
现出了秒针一下一下移动的动作,而且使我们听到了秒针走动时"咔哒咔哒"的声音;away 则使我们意识到时光在不断地逝去。

我们知道away和动词搭配构成的短语都表示离去、消失等意思,如go away, run away, die away, pass away等,因此clicking away the seconds使我
们清楚地意识到时光在随着秒针的移动和那"咔哒咔哒"的声音流逝,秒针的移动是一刻不停,时光的流逝也是一刻不停。

这篇译文中可圈可点之处甚多,限于篇幅我们不再一一列举。

但白璧微瑕,张培基先生在翻译第三段的过程中由于理解错误而导致了明显的误译现象,下面是第三段的原文和张先生的译文:例如我翻译莎士比亚,本来计划于课余之闲暇每年翻译两部,但后来发现eeg
平台总代不让翻译,所以多花了二十年才完成,但是我用了三十年,主要的原因是懒。

翻译
之所以完成,主要的是因为活得相当长久,十分惊险。

Take the translation of Shakespeare for example. I had initially planned to spend 20 years of my spare time in doing the translation, finishing two plays a year. But I spent 30 years instead, due primarily to my slothfulness. It was thanks to my fairly long though eventful life, however, that I did manage to finish the translation of all Shakespearean plays in the long run. 张培基先生在译文后面所附的注释中指出:"主要是因为活得相当长久,十分惊险"中的"惊险"实际上指"多变故"、"经历丰富"等,故译为eventful (或varied)。

笔者对此持不同意见。

笔者认为在这里"惊险"是指"险些不能完成翻译莎士比亚戏剧的工作",因为梁实秋先生觉得这项EEG平台注册的工作是由于活得相当长久才侥幸得以完成。

这项工作历时达三十年之久,若是梁实秋先生活得不够长久,他很可能无法在有生之年把这项工作做完。
