摘要
熊式一是20世纪上半叶我国在国际上与林语堂齐名的双语作家,也是第一位让京剧走向英美舞台的戏剧翻译家。本文以熊译《王宝川》和《西厢记》两个接受效果截然相反的文本为考察对象,分析探究译品成败及其背后的历史文化和翻译策略成因,从而为中国文化走出去,特别是中国戏曲英译,提供借鉴和思考。研究发现,无论是译者动机与策略选择的主观层面,还是他者观照与社会环境的客观层面,译本都必须契合本土文化的主流价值观和审美情趣,才能达到受众知之、好之、乐之的效果。
Shih-I Hsuing is a bilingual writer as renowned as Lin Yutang in the first half of the twentieth century,and he is also the first drama translator helping Peking Opera go abroad and go on the English and American stages.Taking HSIUNG’s translations of two Chinese Operas,Lady Precious Stream and The Romance of the Western Chamber,with opposite reception as examples,this paper analyzes the success and failure of his translations as well as the historical and cultural motivation behind,thus providing reference for Chinese culture,especially the English translation of Chinese opera,to go global and to be accepted by the foreigners.It is found that the success and failure of the two translations is inevitable,whether at the subjective level of the translator’s motivation and strategic choice,or at the objective level of the Other’s reflections and social environment.The translation must conform to the mainstream values and aesthetic taste of the local culture in order to achieve the effect of knowing,liking and enjoying by the audience.
