My profound gratitude first goes to Associate Prof. Yuan Bing, my supervisor, for her constant guidance and encouragement in the process of my writing. During the past several months, I have been under dual pressure of taking part in the postgraduate entrance examination and writing the graduation thesis. It is Associate Prof. Yuan Bing that helped me to keep a balance between them. Since the English version of Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out is not easy to buy, Associate Prof. Yuan Bing has lent me her book to solve my problem.
I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the teachers who have ever taught me during my college years. Through the four-year study, I have laid a solid foundation for my further English study. Therefore, I have found my edge and interest in translation which is the direction I am striving for.
Last, I am also grateful to my classmates and roommates for their encouragement and support.
Abstract
With the acceleration of globalization and the rapid development of Chinese economy, while seeking the prosperity and strength of nation, China is also pursuing for the influence of culture. After Mo Yan won the Nobel Prize of Literature, there appears a wave of spreading Chinese culture to the world. Before trying to achieve this goal, translators need to have a good overview of the translation methods used by Howard Goldblatt, translator of Mo Yan’s literary works.
Along with the change of times, people’s view of translation is different. At the very first, translators are always neglected by people, but now more and more importance are attached on them. Professor Xie Tianzhen has introduced the concept of creative treason from France into China, which emphasizes the function of translators during the translation process. The focus of this paper is not to discuss whether creative treason is good or not, but to provide a new possibility for translators by analyzing Howard Goldblatt’s version of Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out and Lang Tuteng.
The paper falls into six parts. The first part serves as an introduction. The second part introduces the concept of creative treason and omission and the time background. The third part explodes the examples of omission in creative treason in Life and Death Are Wearing Me Out. The fourth part probes into the examples of omission in creative treason in Lang Tuteng. The fifth part states the effect and influence of creative treason from the perspective of time background. The sixth part functions as a conclusion.
Key Words: creative treason, omission, cultural exchange
摘要随着全球化进程的加速和中国经济的迅速发展，中国在寻求经济强盛的同时也开始寻求文化上的强大。在莫言获得了诺贝尔文学奖之后，中国掀起了一股推动中国文化走出去的热潮。想要帮助中国文化走出去，让世界了解更多的中国文化，就需要了解莫言作品的译者葛浩文先生的翻译方法。
随着时代的变化，人们在翻译上的一些观念也在发生变化。一开始，译者是整个翻译过程中是不受重视的，但是现在译者的主体性被逐渐重视，谢天振教授从法国引入了创造性叛逆这个概念，强调了译者在翻译过程中起到的作用。本论文并非讨论创造性叛逆这个观点的好与不好，而是旨在通过分析葛浩文在《生死疲劳》和《狼图腾》这两本书中体现出创造性叛逆中的省译的例子，来为译者提供一种翻译时的思路和可能性。
本篇毕业论文共分为751部分。第一部分是介绍。第二部分介绍了创造性叛逆和省译这两个概念和时代背景。第三部分分析了《生死疲劳》这本书中体现的创造性叛逆中的省译。第四部分分析了《狼图腾》这本书中体现的创造性叛逆中的省译。第五部分从大背景下阐述了创造性叛逆带来的效果和影响。第751部分是总结。 论创造性叛逆中的省译以葛浩文的《生死疲劳》和《狼图腾》译本为例 :http://www.751com.cn/yingyu/lunwen_28995.html
