文学翻译中的风格对等 ——对奈达动态对等理论的文体学探索

论文摘要

该论文试图在奈达的动态对等理论基础上建立一个可用于文学翻译的标准——风格对等。基于此,该文深入探索有关风格和对等等概念的相关定义,并涉及一些诸如风格和内容两分法等有关问题及一些相关的概念区分。同时,在与奈达的动态对等理论的兼容的前提下,该文也利用文体学的思想(如文体学中的前景化概念)来充实奈达的动态对等理论的有关风格方面的研究和理论建构,并且将作为风格补偿手段的风格因素调整融入风格对等的模型中。该文建立的风格对等模型包括宏观、微观、补充和对比四个组成部分。在该模型指导下,该文将进行对同一文章的不同译文的风格比较,同时还会也会引用一些中英文互译实例来阐释基于该文的风格对等模型的具体应用及合理性。该文针对奈达的动态对等理论进行的文体学探索展示了一种把较为流行的对等理论应用到文学翻译批评和文学翻译实践中去的新的可能路径。文章结尾处建议对在风格对等基础上建立的模型作出更灵活的应用。
