Abstract:

As an important function of translated text, annotation can not only make up for the cultural gaps between the authors and readers, but it can also reflect the translators’ strategies and their views on the readers. In this paper, eleven Chinese versions of Macbeth from different time periods have been selected, and the annotations within them have been classified. Typical annotations have then been selected for analysis with the aim of revealing the translators’ views on translation and readers. The results have revealed the translators’ strategies and view on readers behind the annotation of translation. The article also recommends that academic circles attend more to the paratext of the Chinese translations in the study of Shakespeare’s plays.

Keywords: Macbeth; annotation; paratext; translators’ strategy; translators’ view on readers; translation strategy

摘要:

作为翻译文本的重要内容,注释不仅可以弥补读者的文化缺省,还能够折射出译者的翻译策略及其读者观,是译作的重要组成部分。本文选取《麦克白》在不同时期的11个汉译本(包含1个导读本),对各译本的注释进行统计分类,并就典型注释进行对比分析。研究发现,《麦克白》不同译本的注释不仅是读者了解异域文化的重要窗口,还是译者翻译观和读者观的重要载体;从中可以看出不同译者的隐形和显形以及特定读者群体的感受与反应,揭示译本注释背后隐含的译者观和读者观。最后,希望本文可以引起学术界对莎士比亚戏剧汉译副文本研究这一领域的重视。
