译入译出视角下文化因素翻译的再语境化
Recontextualization of Cultural Factors in Direct and Inverse Translations

再语境化研究近年来越来越强调语言使用者的地位，但对译者主体性的探讨仍显不足。《茶馆》作为老舍的经典话剧作品，有着丰富的文化内涵，其翻译中的文化因素为再语境化研究提供了独特视角。本研究从译入译出双视角出发，以《茶馆》的两个英译本为例，分析了其中文化因素翻译的再语境化。研究发现，中国译者英若诚注重戏剧表演性，采用归化策略，使译文贴近英语观众认知习惯；母语译者霍华则以文学读者为预期受众，采用异化策略，保留源文化独特性。通过对比分析，揭示了不同翻译路径下译者如何在各自语境中重构原作文化内涵，以及再语境化在文化传播中的独特挑战和意义。
Recent studies on recontextualization increasingly emphasized the role of language users, yet attention to translators’ subjectivity remained inadequate. Teahouse, a classic play by Lao She renowned for its rich cultural connotations, offers a unique perspective for examining the recontextualization of cultural elements in translation. The study adopted both direct and inverse translation perspectives to analyze the recontextualization of cultural factors in two English versions of Teahouse. The results indicate that the Chinese translator Ying Ruocheng, focuses on theatrical performativity and employs a domestication strategy to align the translation with the cognitive expectations of English-speaking audiences. In contrast, English translator John Howard-Gibbon targets literary readers and adopts a foreignization strategy that preserves the distinctiveness of the source culture. Through comparative analysis, the study shows how translators reconstruct the cultural meaning of the original work within different sociocultural contexts and explore the unique challenges and significance of recontextualization in cross-cultural communication.
