中国古装剧中的皇家用语泰语翻译研究——以《长安诺》为例
Thai Translation of Royal Word in Chinese Costume Dramas—A Case Study of “The Promise of Chang’an”

近年来，中国古装剧在泰国受到广泛关注，跨文化翻译面临诸多挑战。通过分析《长安诺》的泰语字幕翻译，探讨皇家用语在跨文化字幕翻译中的处理方法，尤其是如何在保留语言准确性的同时，适应字幕翻译的简洁性需求。采用文本分析和比较研究法，分析《长安诺》中的皇家用语，并比较原文与泰语翻译的差异。结果显示，译者在某些情况下严格遵循泰国皇家用语规则，而在其他情况下灵活处理以适应字幕的限制。基于此，提出简化长句、准确使用等级用语、尽量使用皇家用语及建立术语表的建议，以提高字幕的可读性和观赏性，同时尽可能忠实传达原作情感与意图。
In recent years, Chinese costume dramas have captivated audiences in Thailand, presenting a complex puzzle for cross-cultural translation. This meticulously conducted study, which analyzes the Thai subtitles of “The Promise of Chang’an”, offers a comprehensive exploration of the handling of royal words in cross-cultural subtitle translation. The focus is on maintaining linguistic accuracy while meeting the conciseness requirements of subtitles. Through rigorous textual analysis and comparative study methods, we dissect the royal word in “The Promise of Chang’an” and compare it with the Thai translation. The results reveal a nuanced approach: translators adhere to Thai royal word rules in some cases while flexibly adapting to the constraints of subtitles in others. These findings, arrived at through a thorough research process, lead to recommendations that can simplify long sentences, accurately use hierarchical language, maximize royal words, and establish a glossary of terms. These recommendations can significantly enhance subtitle readability and viewer engagement while faithfully conveying the original text’s emotions and intentions.
