摘要
本文以功能语境理论为参照,对比分析了《中庸》原文第一章及其两个英译本——理雅各译本和辜鸿铭译本,以期探究两个英译本的翻译特色及语境要素的作用机制。研究发现:辜译较忠实地传达了原文的主旨内涵,而理译则较多地保留了原文的形式内容。本文还从情景语境的角度对两个英译本的特色进行了解读,并结合文化语境对译者的翻译策略进行了阐释。由此我们认为译文是文化语境、社会体认、个人认知、情景语境及上下文语境等要素共同作用的结果。此外,该模式还从翻译实证的角度对功能语境理论进行了一定的补充和扩展。
Based on the context theory of Functional Linguistics, the paper explores the two English versions of Zhongyong by James Legge and Ku Hungming with an attempt to discuss the features of the two versions and the working mechanism of the contextual elements. It is found that Ku＇ s version is more faithful to the original meaning while Legge＇ s maintains more of the textual construction of the original. We further interprets the features of the two translations from the perspective of situational and cultural context and concludes that the translation is the result of the interactional act of various contextual factors proposed in our model such as cultural context, social experience, personal cognition, situational context and co-text. Besides the study further expands and develops the context theory of Functional Linguistics from the empirical perspective.
