摘要：具有超民族或国际意义的作品其内在应该具有相当的"可译性",莫言小说作品在创作主题与创作技法上具有明显的世界性特征,而这些特征则构成了其作品内在的"可译性"。本文从小说作品的主题、小说结构、小说意象以及小说语言四个方面具体探讨莫言小说作品的可译性,并就小说作品主题可译性进行了译例分析。研究认为,莫言小说作品可译性在创作主题上体现在其作品展现了人类最基本、最自然的欲望和情感,具有超越时空的普遍性,小说结构上的可译性体现在其小说故事性强,情节明显,小说意象上的可译性体现在其意象意义清晰明确具有共通性,小说语言上的可译性体现在讲故事的语言特性,较少出现有深厚意义、晦涩难懂的语言表达。本文最后以英文译者葛浩文的《红高粱》和《丰乳肥臀》英译本为例详细分析了小说主题方面的可译性的英译体现,认为由于原作主题上的可译性,英译在很大程度地还原了小说表达中的人类性、自由生命以及宗教主题。
Literature works of supranational or international significance must have considerable"translatability"internally.Mo Yan’s works have obvious international characteristics in their themes and techniques of creation,which constitute the internal"translatability"of his works.This paper discusses the translatability of Mo Yan’s novels from four aspects:themes,structures,images and languages,and then analyzes the translatability of a theme through a case study.The translatability in creating themes is embodied in its most basic and natural desires and emotions of human beings,which are universally beyond time and space.The translatability of the novel structure is embodied in the well-organized story line.The translatability of the image is embodied in its clear and common reference of the images.The translatability of the language is embodied in its story-telling feature,with very few profound and obscure expressions.This paper also takes the English versions of Red Sorghum and Big Breasts and Wide Hips,translated by Howard Goldblatt,as examples of the theme translatability analysis.It is found out that due to the translatability in the theme of the original novels,the English versions greatly represent the themes of humanity,free life and religion.
