摘要: 中国古代公案小说在文学样式上与西方侦探小说相类,却有着不同的叙事模式。本文梳理“公案小说”概念的由来及定义,概述“三公案”被译成欧洲语言及域外出版的大致情况,从中国古代公案小说与西方侦探小说叙事视角差异入手,重点考察荷兰汉学家高罗佩《狄公案》英译本对原作叙事视角的调整及其对中国古代公案小说的创造性改写,认为叙事模式西方化是推动公案小说“走出去”的有效翻译策略。

Abstract: Chinese gong’an stories,a genre similar  to Western detective stories,have  their distinctive narrative mode.This paper aims to discuss effective strategies of translating them for Western readers in the light of narrative mode.It begins with an examination of the origin and defnitions of the Chinese notion “gong’an xiaoshuo” and a brief overview of published European-language translations of classical Chinese detective stories.In the light of the basic differences in narrative point-of-view between Chinese gong’an stories and Western detective stories,we examine how Dutch sinologist Robert Van Gulik skillfully adapted and rewrote the original narrative mode to conform to that of Western detective stories.It is concluded that the Westernization of narrative mode in the translation process can help Chinese gong’an fction “walk toward the world”.

Keywords: Chinese gong’an fction; Western detective fction; narrative mode; translation and rewriting; Robert Van Gulik
