摘要
姚斯的"期待视野"理论对翻译的启示是,为了使读者接受自己的译本,译者在翻译中必须关照读者的期待视野。基于对晚清时势下读者特定期待视野的关照,林纾在将Uncle Tom’s Cabin翻译成《黑奴吁天录》时,通过陈述、删削、省略、改写等方式,淡化了原著中的宗教观念和反对奴隶制度的政治思想,强化了译本对当时中国读者忧患意识和爱国情怀的呼唤,凸显了孝道、忠义等中国传统道德观念。因此,林纾的译本激发了当时读者的积极响应,成为和读者期待视野近乎完美融合的典范之作。
Jauss＇s ＂horizon of expectations＂ reveals that translators should take readers＇ horizon of expectation into consideration in order to achieve readers＇ acceptability of their translations. Due to readers＇ particular horizon of expectations in late Qing Dynasty, when translating Uncle Tom＇ s Cabin into The Black Slave Appeals to Heaven, Lin Shu, by means of narration, abridgment, deletion and adaptation, omitted some Christian ideas and anti-slavery political views in the original version, and highlighted his readers＇ awareness of the national calamity and crisis, their patriotic spirit and the Chinese traditional morality, such as the filial piety, loyalty, etc. , in his translated version. Thus, Lin Shu＇ s translation stimulated readers＇ enthusiasm and has been successfully fused with readers＇ horizon of expectations.
