《骆驼祥子》是中国现代著名作家老舍先生的代表作,在中国现代文学史上具有重要位置。以翻译传播理论作为研究的理论框架,选取老舍长篇小说《骆驼祥子》中文化负载词和两个英译本中对应的负载词为研究数据,分析源语文化的特色、源语和目的语的文化差异、译者的编码—解码过程、翻译策略和传播效果。两个英文译本分别是美国译者伊万•金(Evan King)的Rickshaw Boy 和中国译者施晓菁的Camel Xiangzi。目前在学术界,人们普遍认为,金译作以归化策略为主,而施译本偏向于异化翻译策略。可以看出,施的异化翻译策略实现了物质文化负载词和生态文化负载词的等效传播,有助于外国读者了解中国人的思维方式、价值观念、审美取向、风俗民情等,对传播中华传统文化、增强国家文化软实力有重要意义。

Abstract:
Camel Xiangzi is the representative work of the famous modern Chinese writer Lao She, which boosts of its important position in the history of modern Chinese literature. Taking Communication Theory as the theoretical framework of the study, it selects the Culture-loaded Elements from the source language text and the corresponding ones in the target language texts of Lao She's novel Camel Xiangzi as the research data. It then analyzes the characteristics of the source language, the cultural differences between the source language and the target language, the translator's encoding and decoding process, translation strategy and communication effect. The two versions are Rickshaw Boy translated by Evan King and Camel Xiangzi by Shi Xiaojing respectively. It is generally acknowledged that Shi Xiaojing mainly chose foreignization strategy whereas Evan King adopted domestication mostly in their translation versions respectively. It can be seen that the foreignization translation strategy achieves the equivalent transmission effect in terms of material culture-loaded words and ecological culture-loaded words, which is helpful for foreign readers to understand Chinese people’s way of thinking, values, aesthetic orientation as well as traditional customs and is of great significance to the dissemination of traditional Chinese culture and the enhancement of national cultural soft power.
