摘要
《红高粱家族》英译本由美国著名翻译家葛浩文翻译,目前是莫言在海外销量最佳的英译作品。葛浩文的译作超脱出归化异化之争,翻译手法灵活,语言流畅,可读性强,同时尽力再现原文的风格。习语含有大量的文化信息,因此习语的翻译最能体现译者的水平。该文以《红高粱家族》中习语的翻译为例,探究葛浩文习语翻译方法,为中国现代文学"走出去"提供借鉴。
The English version of Red Sorghum was translated by Howard Goldblatt, the famous American sinologist and transla-tor. At present, Red Sorghum sells best among Mo Yan’s works in the abroad. Howard Goldblatt extricates himself from the ar-gument between domestication and foreignization. With flexible and diverse methods, he,on the one hand, adapts the original text in the a readable, fluent and acceptable work for the foreign readers.On the other hand, the target text reserves the original cultural factors and style as much as possible. As idioms are full of cultural information, the quality of the translated idioms can show the translator’s skills best. This paper takes the translated idioms as examples to study Howard Goldblatt’s translating meth-ods and hopes to shed some revelation to the“going out”of Chinese modern literature.
