试析语用模糊在汉英翻译中的映现--英译《红楼梦》个案分析

语用模糊是文学作品,尤其是文学名著的常见现象,亦是文学翻译中的难点之一.本文试从语用模糊的角度来探究汉英翻译中的这一难题,进而分析译语在塑造人物形象和展现人物艺术魅力方面与源语的不同,从而区分出两家译文的优劣高下.为便于阐释,笔者仅以<红楼梦>第三十四回为个案研究,比较两家译文在语用模糊上是如何映现的.

On the Projection of Pragmatic Ambivalence in Chinese-English Translation--A Case Study of the English Version of Hongloumeng

Pragmatic ambivalence is a common phenomenon in the literary works, especially in the literary classics, and it is also one of the difficulties in the literary translation. This paper tries to tackle this problem from the perspective of pragmatic ambivalence, and the author points out whether the strategies that the two translators applied in their respective translation are appropriate or not concerning the image-building and the character charm. For convenience of discussion, the author only takes Chapter 34 as a case study to analyze the projection of pragmatic ambivalence in two translations.
