前景化理论视域下埃兹拉．庞德对中国古诗的译介研究－以“Song of the Bowmen of Shu”为例
A Study on Ezra Pound's Translation of Chinese Classical Poetries in the Light of Foregrounding Theory - Illustrated with Examples from the Translation of 'Song of the Bowmen of Shu'
摘要
庞德的中国译诗为中国古诗走进英语世界开启了一扇大门，对他的翻译思想及翻译策略研究对今后中国古诗英译有一定的借鉴意义。本文基于前景化理论，通过对比分析《采薇》及其庞德译文，描述了两者语音、词汇和句法的前景化异同，分析了差异的原因。研究发现：1）译文译出了源文本的精髓。2）译文的文体风格与现代派诗歌相契合。3）因汉英语言规约的不同，译文需调整并使用符合目的语语言规约的语言前景化与源文本相对应。4）译文体现了庞德对中国古诗的认知与识解。

Ezra Pound's translation paved a way for Chinese classical poetries' entry into the western world. It is meaningful to study his translation theory as well as his translation strategy for they can guide the translation of Chinese classical poetry in the future. In the light of foregrounding theory, this paper describes the similarities and differences of linguistic features of the original and translated texts via a contrastive analysis of "Song of the Bowmen of Shu" and its English translation, especially the features of phonology, lexis and syntax. The study found that first, the translation catches the most important features of the original text. Second, the style of English translation is consistent with modernist poetry. Third, due to the different language rules of English and Chinese, the foregrounding features should be adjusted to the rules of target language when translating. Last, the translation shows Pound's cognitive understanding of Chinese poetry.
