聊斋志异文化观外文文献翻译中英文参考

外文文献翻译(含:英文原文及中文译文)文献出处:Hou Jiaying. China Today, Oct2007, V ol. 56 Issue 10, p62-66 英文原文Good fox, bad foxIn the 2,000 years of Chinese parables, the fox has always been a popular character. For the first time, they appeared before their prototypes. They were both kind and vicious. They gradually ingested people's souls by pretending to be glamorous and charming young women.In the Ming Dynasty (1368 - 1644), the famous writer Pu Songling's story about the fox was described in his famous Strange Stories. He modeled them as beautiful creatures, reflecting human loyalty, love, generosity, justice and willingness. The virtue of helping others. In the past three centuries, readers who read Pu Songling's works have already regarded these characters as "fox spirits" rather than "fox spirits".Ma Ruifang, a Chinese scholar and expert professor, devoted himself to the study of Strange Tales of Liaozhai, and served as a host to interview professors from the University of Chicago. At that time, two professors w ho studied Pu Songling’s work expressed great surprises. How did the 17th-century Chinese writer create the most famous story about foxes in the story of “Heng Niang”, the “Ghost Mother,” the “GhostStory” of the 500 most-known stories in the Chinese society that was deeply rooted in the feudal system at that time. The implicit suggestion to his wife is that they should use women's tenderness to ensure that their spouse's passion is permanent, just as lawyers rely on American newspapers and magazines in the 1980s to seek out opposite-sex friends.The ideal world for womenThe plot in “Heng Niang” is a classic love of husband, wife and mistress. Heng Niang is a kind fox and is also a human wife. She has a neighbor called Hong Daye. Hong Dayi has one wife and one wife. The wife Zhu is far more beautiful than the little one, but she is only slightly older than her grandmother. However, to the surprise of Zhu, it is her husband Hong Kong that loves her. In the same way, Heng Niang’s husband also has a small sister, who is obviously younger and more beautiful than Heng Niang, but he still loves her wife deeply. When Zhu asked Hengniang why she was like this, Hengniang told her that it was human nature to abandon old things, pursue new things, craving for something that was not available and full of mysteries. At Hengniang's suggestion, Zhu will take a lenient and generous attitude towards her husband and sister-in-law over the next month, allowing them to spend days and nights together. Heng Niang also suggested that Chu should change her appearance. In the next month, try not to dress up, wear old clothes, and keep yourself busy with housework. But on the last day ofthe month, she will put on new clothes, new shoes, design a beautiful hairstyle, and dress herself up. Just as Heng Niang had expected, the light of love returned to the eyes of Hong Daye. When he saw Zhu, and before dusk came, he would knock Zhu's door. However, Zhu still complied with Hengniang's suggestion, using fatigue as an excuse to gently but firmly rejected him. The next day, she followed the same strategy. On the third day, the sun had not yet landed, and the great cause slipped into her room and waited for darkness. That evening, the couple had spent the happiest night since their wedding. Afterwards, when the great cause asked her if he could spend the evening with her, Zhu expressed opposition and told him that he must wait another three days before allowing him to enter the house again.Zhu is pleased to tell Hengnian that she has regained her great business success. Heng Niang told Zhu to continue to use the female tricks she taught her because although Zhu is very beautiful, she lacks femininity, so her husband’s passion is being revived and can only be short-lived. Heng Niang explained that charm includes a woman's lifestyle, various behaviors, such as the way she walks, the way she speaks, and even her husband's eyes. Heng Niang instructs Zhu on all proper female habits and tells her to practise herself in front of the mirror every day. In this case, of course, Zhu eventually won back the husband's loyal love. The charisma mentioned by Heng Niang was defined by thefamous writer and poet Luo Binwang of the Tang Dynasty (618-907) as “The Charm of Fox” 1,000 years ago. He created this word and gave it its hidden meaning in a prose about Empress Wu Zetian who convicted him. In any case, the Queen should feel honored, not provoked by this allusion.Another story about fox in “Ghost Stallion” - Jiaona. This story praises the sincere friendship and love between man and fox. When a young scholar, Kong Xueyu, became seriously ill, his friend, a fox, advised him to let his sister Jiaona cure him. A young woman whose image and way of doing things is like the grace of a willow, full of tenderness and dazzling wisdom, appearing around him. Jiao Na did a surgical operation for Conson and fed an elixir of elixir into his mouth. This medicine was depleted of her life energy and carefully cultivated. When Confucius resumed consciousness, he fell in love with the gentleness, quietness, beauty, and love of this young woman. Therefore, Confucius requested Jiao Na’s brother to marry her. However, because Jiaona was too young to marry, her family made her than her big sister Song Niang instead of her. Matsugami was as beautiful and kind as Jiaona, and the couple had lived a happy and happy life.A few years later, Kong's friend, fox cousin, told him that there was a thunderstorm that would come to their home and that they would all be destroyed unless Kong Sheng could rescue them. In spite of his ownsafety, Kong Xueyi immediately responded to his request. On that stormy night, Kong Shou held a sword and guarded the entrance to the cave where the fox family lived. Suddenly, a black whirlwind circled out of the hole and Jiaona was in the center of the hurricane. Confucius used his sword to make every effort to insert the black wind. In the end, Jiaona fell to the ground and was saved. As Kong’s help to her, Kong Sheng was attacked by lightning. Afterwards, the storm slowed down and the skies returned clear. The fox family was safe, but Conson was in danger. Jiao Na sacrificed the last elixir of life that had been made with a thousand years of practice and spit it in his long-lived mouth and once again saved him. With Persian's insistence, the fox family moved to live with him. In order to avoid more disasters, the fox family lived in seclusion in a quiet courtyard. The gate of the courtyard was only open to Kong Sheng and Song Niang. Several years later, Kong Sheng and So ng Niang’s children grew up, and he became a grey-haired old man. He maintained close friendship with the fox cousin and the married Jiaona and their family.Xiao Cui is another lovely fox story. Xiaocui is a very cute and lively fox, but her appearance is a pretty young lady. One day, her mother took her to the house of a surnamed family to steal. She seemed to want to abandon her daughter. The Wang family is a local family with a face, only one child, and it is a mentally retarded person. He was neither a playmate nor a man willing to marry him, but Xiao Tsui made a goodfriend with him and married him. Although Wang Jia first liked Xiao Cui, her unruly manner aroused their resentment. They often scolded and reprimanded her, but Xiao Cui quietly accepted this treatment. When Wang Wang was framed by his political opponents, Xiao Cui used her wisdom to save the whole family in dire straits. Moreover, she also cured her husband's mental illness. However, Xiaocui knew that her parents-in-law could never accept her rebellious attitude toward the feudal system at that time. She inadvertently discovered that a young woman looked like her and secretly arranged for her to replace him at the king’s house. Before secretly leaving, Xiao Cui admitted to her husband that she was actually a fox daughter. Several decades ago, her mother escaped the thunder robbery under Wang's robe. At that time, Wang was sheltering in a temple. Although Master Wang did not realize that he had given the fox mother help, she felt grateful for the reward she had at that time. It is for this reason that she left Xiaocui in her care.Evil foxRumors are often used to describe foxes. However, such clever and beautiful creatures are often described in ambiguity and humility. There is such an example in the rumors of "tiger tigers." This is an allegory of swindlers and rogues. It means that they will bend others to boast of their powerful power. Its origin was a story about the king of the Chu state two thousand years ago. The king asked his minister: "There are rumors thatthe northern princes are afraid of the Chu Ling Yin Zhao shirt. Is that really it?" His minister answered the king's question through a parable: The king of the forest tigers eat a When it just captured the fox, the fox told it: "You can't eat me because I have God's instructions and let me be the leader of the beast. If you don't believe me, then go with me through the forest and see if There are other animals that dare to block my path." The tiger agreed. Sure enough, all the animals fled far when they were close. The tiger does not understand that animals are afraid of it, not foxes, that they dare not eat foxes.Minister Jiang Yi continued to point out that the king’s territories cover an area of 2,500 square kilometers, and the military power has reached a million people. All of them are under the command of the Shojo shirt. The northern princes are undoubtedly afraid of the zhao yi shirts, but his position is as the king’s military power's controller and supreme imperial power. Jiang Yi warned that if the king is forced, his advantage will be weakened. Then the king gradually diluted Zhao's military power.The scolded foxShe is the leading actress in the "God List" and is a typical example of the evil fox. This Ming Dynasty literary work is about the story of the demise of the Shang Dynasty and the rise of the Zhou Dynasty. Yu Wang is the last monarch of Shang Dynasty and also a notorious tyrant. In thecommon people, he levies exorbitant taxes and exorbitant taxes to build a luxury palace for himself and live a life of levity. During his reign, the 600-year-old Shang Dynasty quickly disintegrated. The warfare of the embarrassment caused the people to lose their livelihoods and make the rule of the monarchy chaotic. In the "God List", the scorpion's nephew has been described as the culprit of the demise of the Shang Dynasty.She was a fox and she became beautiful. The image of the woman was sent to the palace to envy the king and overthrow the Shang Dynasty. Her reward is immortal.The king of Yu is very careless about the national affairs. He has given everything to his uncle. Bichon discovered his true face and urged the king to get rid of her, but it was useless. Not only that, but the king also was very angry with his uncle's reckless behavior and ordered the expulsion of Began. Having realized that the threat to her was greater than that of Gan Qi, he formulated a plan to kill the enemy. She pretended to be sick, and she deluded another king with a beauty, telling him that unless she had a heart to eat, she would die. Bichon was thus killed, but the evil of self-absorbedness surpassed that of her enemies. She was addicted to the love of unborn babies, and even encouraged the king to indulge in the gorgeous life of wine. All these have accelerated the demise of the Shang dynasty.She was eventually arrested and sentenced to death, but allexecutioners who were sent to execute the order were smitten by her charms and could not execute the order. After a few skilled butchers failed to perform their duties, a magical general ended his own life with his own hands.One of the main reasons for this novel is to explain why women's charisma is often equated with the evil fox, and why calling a woman fox is often regarded as an insult.Although there are all kinds of negative foxes, fox skin has always been widely praised. The earliest written reference was in the Book of Songs 2000 years ago. It wrote: "Use fur coats to make fur coats for our young princes." Fox coats are considered the only suit for nobles.The ancient Chinese tried every means to capture the fox's skin as much as possible, but since the fox was a very vigilant and very devious animal, hunting was usually just successful in making it vigilant. Humans have never successfully domesticated or reared foxes. It is one of the few animals that have enough intelligence to deceive humans.It may be a mixture of resentment and admiration, which has caused the Chinese literary world to describe it as an alternation of good and evil. The mythical encyclopedia of Mountain and Sea Classics and Geography Editing over 2000 describes the fox as a monster that has nine tails and special eaters. Shuo Wen Jie Zi (The principle of interpretation and study of characters), the first dictionary in Chinese history, created during theEastern Han Dynasty from 100 to 121 years ago, defines the fox as "a fascinating animal being devil-ridden."中文译文好狐狸,坏狐狸在中国两千多年的寓言中, 狐狸一直是受欢迎的角色。

文化翻译策略的多样性与多译本互补研究以《红楼梦》与《聊斋志异》英译本为例一、本文概述《文化翻译策略的多样性与多译本互补研究以《红楼梦》与《聊斋志异》英译本为例》这篇文章旨在探讨文化翻译策略的多样性及其在多个译本中的互补性。

以中国古典名著《红楼梦》和《聊斋志异》的英译本为例,本文将分析不同翻译家在处理文化元素时所采用的翻译策略,以及这些策略如何在不同的译本中相互补充,共同呈现出原著的丰富内涵和文化特色。

文章首先将对文化翻译策略的相关理论进行梳理和阐述,包括直译、意译、音译等常见策略,以及它们在处理文化元素时的优缺点。

随后,文章将选取《红楼梦》和《聊斋志异》的多个英译本作为研究对象,对比分析不同翻译家在处理文化元素时所采用的策略及其背后的原因。

在此基础上,文章将探讨多个译本之间的互补性,分析不同译本在呈现原著文化特色方面的优势和不足,并探讨如何通过多译本的比较和借鉴,提高文化翻译的质量和效果。

通过对《红楼梦》和《聊斋志异》英译本的研究,本文旨在揭示文化翻译策略的多样性及其在多译本中的互补性,为今后的文化翻译实践提供有益的参考和启示。

本文也期望能够推动文化翻译研究的深入发展,为跨文化交流和文化传播做出积极的贡献。

二、文化翻译策略概述文化翻译,作为跨语言、跨文化的交流活动,其复杂性在于如何处理源语中的文化信息,使之在目标语中得以恰当、准确的再现。

在这一过程中,翻译策略的选择显得尤为重要。

翻译策略并非一成不变,而是根据文本类型、读者群体、翻译目的等多种因素灵活调整。

在文化翻译中,常见的策略包括直译、意译、音译、增译、减译等。

直译策略强调保留源语中的文化特色,尽可能字对字、句对句地翻译,以传达原文的异域风情。

这种策略有助于目标语读者了解源语文化的独特性,但也可能因为文化差异导致理解困难。

意译策略则更注重目标语读者的接受度,对原文进行适当调整,使之更符合目标语的表达习惯,但可能损失部分源语文化信息。

音译策略主要用于处理那些无法直译或意译的文化专有名词,如人名、地名等。
