摘要
空间隐喻属于概念隐喻,普遍存在于各种语言文化中。阿来的小说《尘埃落定》以汉藏融合地缘文化为背景,作品中的空间隐喻承载权力、身份、宗教等特殊意蕴。本文将《尘埃落定》中的空间隐喻分成上—下、远—近、里—外三个维度,分别以POWER IS HEIGHT、RELATION IS DISTANCE和HEAD IS A CONTAINER为例,探讨空间隐喻英译过程中文体变化对于认知效果的影响。空间隐喻的翻译涉及感受主体认知体验的传递,增加空间方位词与提高视觉形象性是增强空间隐喻表征含义的重要途径。
Spatial metaphors,as conceptual metaphors,are ubiquitous in all languages and cultures.Alai’s novelRed Poppies(《尘埃落定》)is geographically situated in a region where Han and Tibetan cultures merge together.Positioning itself against such a background,this paper analyses the spatial metaphors inRed Poppiesas divided in three dimensions,i.e.the up-down,near-far,and in-out dimensions.Taking POWER IS HEIGHT,RELATION IS DISTANCE,and HEAD IS A CONTAINER as examples,the paper explores the influence of stylistic changes on the cognitive effects of spatial metaphors in English translation.The translation of spatial metaphors involves the transmission of the cognitive experience of readers.Increasing spatial expressions and improving the visual iconicity are critical ways to enhance the representational meaning conveyed through spatial metaphors.
