多模态翻译理论视角下的元素传递——以《红高粱》葛浩文译本为例
Element Transfer from the Perspective of Multimodal Translation Theory—Taking Howard Goldblatt’s Translation of Red Sorghum as an Example

本文以多模态翻译理论的视角对《红高粱》葛浩文译本中的视觉、听觉等模态元素的传递展开探讨。通过分析葛译文中对原作模态元素的准确表达和传递，归纳总结其使用的翻译策略，旨在提出如何在跨文化交际中表达和传递模态元素。该书中出现大量的模态元素，这些元素生动形象地展示了中国特色文化。但是，在翻译过程中，由于中外文化差异性，如何准确传递这些模态元素是译者需要面对的挑战，葛浩文译本中对这些模态元素采用了异化的译法，准确地传递了原文的模态元素。归纳和总结其翻译策略有望对多模态翻译理论视角下的翻译实践活动提供帮助，可以更好地帮助中国文化走出去，更好地讲好中国故事。
This paper discusses the transmission of visual, auditory and other modal elements in Howard Goldblatt’s translation of Red Sorghum from the perspective of multimodal translation theory. By analyzing the accurate expression and transmission of the modal elements of the original work in Howard Goldblatt’s translation, the translation strategies he used are summarized, aiming to propose how to express and transmit modal elements in cross-cultural communication. There are a large number of modal elements in Red Sorghum, which vividly show the unique Chinese culture. However, in the translation process, due to the differences between Chinese and foreign cultures, how to accurately transmit these modal elements is a challenge that the translator needs to face. Howard Goldblatt’s translation of these modal elements is very accurate and exquisite. Summarizing his translation strategies is expected to provide help for translation practice activities from the perspective of multimodal translation theory, which can better help Chinese culture go global and better tell Chinese stories.
