文学翻译作业1 倪海舟 2012110253  PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 5 如入化境 ——试用文本认知模式分析《十二楼》（节选）译文 2012MTI笔译二班 倪海舟 一、引言 这学期，我们非常幸运地请到清华大学罗选民教授讲授文学翻译课。罗教授学富东西、妙语连珠，短短几节课我们就学到不少文学翻译的知识和技巧，更重要的是，罗教授关于文本认知模式的讲解，启发我们更多关于翻译的思考。 二、文本认知模式七条标准 文本认知模式(Textual Cognitive Model)七条标准的提出，始于1981 年，Beaugrande Dressler 合著了《话语语言学导论》(Introduction to Text Linguistics) ,提出了七个标准制约话语的成构：衔接(cohesion)、连贯(coherence)、意图性(intentionality)和可接受性(acceptability)、信息度(informativity)、情景性(situationality)、互文性(interterxtuality)。这些标准的阙如，就可能导致话语交际的失败。（罗选民：话语的认知模式与翻译的文本构建，2002） 课上，罗教授为我们逐一分析了以上七条标准在文本翻译中的运用，并各举实例，从某一特定情景下的公示语，到呼吁爱护蝴蝶的环境公益广告，印象最深刻的是对霍译与杨译《红楼梦》薛宝钗《咏蟹诗》的分析与比较。 下面，我也试着分析茅国权、茅维鼎二位所翻译的李笠翁先生的《十二楼》（节选）。 二、《十二楼》（节选）及译文 原文： 十二楼·夺锦楼 (节选) 明朝正德初年，湖广武昌府江夏县有个鱼行经纪，姓钱，号小江，娶妻边氏。夫妻两口，最不和睦，一向艰于子息。到四十岁上，同胞生下二女，止差得半刻时辰。世上的人都说儿子象爷，女儿象娘，独有这两个女儿不肯蹈袭成规，另创一种面目，竟象别人家儿女抱来抚养的一般。不但面貌不同，连心性也各别。父母及丑陋、极愚蠢，女儿极标致、极聪明。长到十岁之外，就象海棠着露，菡萏经风，一日娇媚似一日。到了十四岁上，一发使人见面不得，莫说少年子弟看了无不销魂，就是六七十岁的老人家瞥面遇见，也要说几声“爱死，爱死”。资性极好，只可惜不曾读书，但能记账打算而已。至于女工针指，一见就会，不用人教。穿的是???衣布裙，戴的是铜簪锡珥，与富贵人家女人立在一处，偏要把他比并下来。旁边议论的人，都说缟布不换绮罗，铜锡不输金玉。只因他抢眼不过，就使有财有力的人家，多算多谋的子弟，都群起而图之。 译文： During the early years of the Cheng-te/Zhengde period of the Ming dynasty(1506-1521) there lived in the district of Jiangxia town Wuchang city, Huguang Province a fish jobber named Qian Xiaojiang. He and his wife were not known for their marital happiness. They quarreled frequently and bitterly because of their differences of opinion and their unwillingness to compromise. They had no children until their forties when Mrs Qian unexpectedly gave birth to twin girls. Though it is a common belief that boys resemble their father in looks, and girls their mothers, these two girls resembled neither. They were richly endowed with beauty, in sharp contrast to their parents’ homely, even repulsive, looks. After they were only 10 years old, they already became young girls as pretty as dewy-red cherry apples, even more lovely than the lotus standing in gentle breez
