基于语料库的视觉行为动词翻译研究——以《骆驼祥子》两译本为例

基于《骆驼祥子》两译本的平行语料库，以视觉行为动词为切入点，探究视觉行为动词翻译与译者风格的关系。研究发现：1）翻译过程中两译者都倾向于将视觉行为动词进行明晰化翻译处理，尤其体现在心理层面视觉动词的翻译上；2）两译本的明晰化程度不同，施晓菁译本较葛浩文译本明晰化程度更高；3）翻译明晰化程度不仅体现出译者对源语理解的差异，也体现出译者风格的差异。

Corpus-based Study on English Translation of Chinese Visual Behavior Verbs——Taking Two English Versions of Luotuo Xiangzi as an Example

Based on the parallel corpus of two English versions of Luotuo Xiangzi, this paper focuses on translation of Chinese visual behavior verbs, and analyzes the translators’ style with regard to their translating visual behavior verbs. It is found that 1) the two translators tend to explicitly translate Chinese visual behavior verbs, especially those visual verbs of psychological cannotation. 2) But the two versions differ in degree of explicitation: Shi Xiaojing’s translation is more explicit. 3) The degree of explicitation not only reflects translators’ different understanding of the source language, but also mirrors differences in translators’ styles.
