习语翻译的归化和异化

论文摘要

本论文研究的主要目的是分析翻译中的归化和异化策略哪一个更适合习语的翻译。翻译中应该采用归化还是异化策略一直是国内外翻译界争论的焦点,尽管很多学者从不同的角度提出许多观点,但是一直都没有一个可以被广泛接受的观点。在西方翻译界,奈达主张归化的翻译策略,而韦努蒂主张异化的翻译策略。在中国,钱钟书推崇归化,而鲁迅先生则更看重异化。20世纪之前,归化策略占主导地位;而自从21世纪以来,无论是在翻译实践还是翻译理论上,异化策略都显示出优势。这种异化趋势是文化全球化的结果,它将会保证世界文化的多样性。本论文通过分析文化负载词——习语的特点,提出了习语翻译应以异化策略为主,归化策略为辅的论点。习语翻译中的异化目的在于最大限度地传递源语中地异质和文化特色。所以在文化翻译中,应该主要运用异化的翻译策略来保存习语的异域文化色彩。本论文的价值在于,通过分析习语的翻译策略,促进跨文化交流,提升文化全球化的速度,抵制种族(民族)中心主义。本论文运用对比的方法归纳和分析了归化和异化的概念,倡导人,以及这两种策略在国内外的冲突;并通过收集的资料,运用分析法具体讨论了习语的翻译方法。
