汉语被动句英译探究——以《骆驼祥子》葛浩文英译本为例
A Study on the English Translation of Chinese Passive Sentences—A Case Study on Rickshaw Boy by Goldblatt

被动结构在英、汉语中普遍存在，其翻译是一大重难点。英汉语言所属语系及滋养其成长的社会文化环境不同，其句式结构、语法特征等各方面均存在大大小小的差异，在翻译汉语被动结构时，汉语思维惯性地将其和英语被动句型对应起来，常常发生偏误。选取《骆驼祥子》葛浩文译本为例，阐明了在翻译中正确理解及传译被动句的重要性；同时，通过对英汉被动结构的比较与分析，归纳出不同类型汉语被动句英译采取的翻译策略，以期为提高文学作品的翻译质量提供借鉴。
Passive constructions are commonly found in both English and Chinese languages, and their translation poses a major challenge. English and Chinese belong to different language families and have been nurtured by different socio-cultural environments. As a result, there are various differences in sentence structures, grammar features, and other aspects. When translating Chinese passive constructions, there is a tendency to correspond them with English passive sentence patterns, often resulting in errors. Taking Goldblatt’s translation of Rickshaw Boy as an example, this study clarifies the importance of correctly understanding and translating passive sentences in translation. Moreover, through a comparison and analysis of passive structures in English and Chinese, it summarizes the translation strategies adopted for different types of Chinese passive sentences in the hope of providing guidance for improving the translation quality of literary works.
