译者主体性视角下《狂人日记》英译本的“意会”与“言传”
“Understanding” and “Expressing” in English Translations of Diary of a Madman from the Perspective of the Translator’s Subjectivity

《狂人日记》作为鲁迅先生的代表性小说，在中国现代文学史上有着举足轻重的地位。因此，本文从译者主体性角度，对《狂人日记》两个英译本的翻译进行对比研究，分别从词汇选择、语言风格、文化内涵三个方面考察译者对“意会”与“言传”的策略。结果表明，在词汇选择层面，莱尔用词比杨戴译本更加贴近生活；在语言风格层面，杨戴译本力求简洁、传意，莱尔更加注重译文的连贯与衔接，语言更为生动形象；在文化内涵层面，杨戴选择用简单的表达，保留原文的含蓄表达，莱尔则更加注重文化内涵的解释与刻画，表达更为详实。由此可见，译文的差异性与译者的主体性息息相关。
Diary of a Madman, one of Xun Lu’s representative novels, plays an important role in the history of modern Chinese literature. Therefore, this paper makes a comparative study of the two English translations of Diary of a Madman from the perspective of the translator’s subjectivity, and examines the translators’ strategies of “understanding” and “expressing” from three aspects: vocabulary choice, language style and the expression of cultural connotation. The results show that in terms of vocabulary choice, Lyell prefers using more life-oriented words than Xianyi Yang and Gladys Yang. Also, in the aspect of language style, Xianyi Yang and Gladys Yang translate the novel in a more concise way, while Lyell pays more attention to the cohesion of contexts to enhance the vividness of the translation. Meanwhile, in the expression of the profound cultural connotations, Xianyi Yang and Gladys Yang’s translation chooses to use simple expressions to remain the implied expression of the original novel, while Lyell uses more detailed explanation and description. It can be seen that the differences in translations are closely related to the subjectivity of translators.
