An Eco-translatological Perspective to Folklore Translation: A Case Study of Huozhe Translated by Michael Berry_英语论文

摘要

《活着》是现代中国先锋文学作家余华具有代表性的长篇小说。小说在记叙在中国社会变革的时代背景下，主人公“福贵”一家坎坷命运的同时，处处显现浓浓的中国民俗文化。本文旨在从胡庚申的生态翻译学理论视角，以白睿文所译的英文版《活着》作为研究个案,探讨译者对作品中特色的中国民俗文化所做的翻译处理，阐明生态翻译学理论下三维转换翻译法对于民俗文化的选择和适应，证明新兴的生态翻译学理论对民俗文化翻译的适用性和指导意义。
