内容摘要

文化是一切人类社会共享的产物,语言则是记录文化的符号系统。文化与语言是相互影响和相互制约的关系。谚语是蕴涵丰富的民族文化的语言符号。英语谚语的汉译不仅涉及到语言的转换,还涉及到文化的转换。从本质上看,翻译是以一种语言为载体的文化转换为以另一种语言为载体的广义文化活动。谚语内容丰富,寓意深邃。谚语包含着民间的智慧,是一个民族的地理﹑历史﹑社会结构﹑社会观念和态度的生动写照。谚语揭示一个民族的生活和生活环境,具有文化特殊性。英汉两种文化体系在宗教信仰﹑饮食﹑地理环境等诸多方面存在差异,因此,英谚汉译时需充分利用汉语的表达手段,力求能再现英语谚语字面以外所特有的语言风格和丰富内涵。本文从翻译的本质﹑译者的使命﹑读者阅读的认知过程及信息时代与全球化对文化交流的影响等角度出发,对归化和异化在英语谚语汉译中的运用进行了探讨。归化和异化是两种不同的翻译策略。归化是以目的语的语言文化为归宿,努力使作者靠近读者,运用目的语读者易接受的表达方式,讲究行文流畅、自然。异化以源语言文化为归宿,尽力再现原文色彩和风格,努力使读者理解作者原意,保持原文的异国情调。英语谚语具有独特的语言特点,它渊源丰富,语言精练,往往还有多种修辞手法。这些因素决定了英语谚语翻译并非易事,译者必须要既保持原文民族特色,又忠实原文的内容和风格。在全球化的今天,国家之间的交流日益频繁。英谚汉译中归化的运用有一些局限性:用目的语文化的价值观强行归化是文化霸权主义的表现,也是民族中心主义的表现。在英语谚语汉译中采用异化翻译,既能忠实原文,又能促进不同文化间的交流并起到丰富目的语语言与文化的作用。
