话语标记语“然后”及其英译形式的语用功能探析
The Pragmatic Functions of Discourse Marker “Ranhou” and Its English Translation Form

话语标记语“然后”具有丰富的英译形式，“then”“and then”和“and”是其主要的三种。本文通过实例分析了话语标记“然后”及其英译形式在话语中的人际功能和语篇功能。经考察，它们都具备提示互动、标示情态和填补语流空白的人际功能，在语篇上都具备信息短缺、询问信息功能以及转换、接续、拉回话题、接续、转接、移交话轮的话语组织功能。但相比之下，“然后”的语用功能更加丰富，且在表现相同语用功能时，“then”“and then”和“and”在使用频次上有所差异。其中，“然后”与“then”和“and”在语用功能上的对应关系比“然后”与“and then”更为紧密。通过本研究，希望对英汉翻译、二语习得等方面提供借鉴作用。
