记者会语境下中国文化特色用语翻译策略研究

记者会语境下中国文化特色用语翻译策略研究 文化特色用语的翻译研究前期往往集中在笔译,在口译语境,尤其是传媒口译语境下很少涉及。本书结合描述性翻译研究范式和语料库对比分析法,在“理论-策略”分析框架下,对语料库进行创新式标注,探究媒体口译语境下的中国文化特色用语的翻译策略及翻译规范,验证了“翻译策略的选择受译者主观性影响但更受制于语境”这一生态翻译学的核心论点,有助于避免翻译策略研究的主观性和随意性。

内容简介

文化特色用语的翻译研究前期往往集中在笔译,在口译语境,尤其是传媒口译语境下很少涉及。本书结合描述性翻译研究范式和语料库对比分析法,在“理论-策略”分析框架下,对语料库进行创新式标注,探究媒体口译语境下的中国文化特色用语的翻译策略及翻译规范,验证了“翻译策略的选择受译者主观性影响但更受制于语境”这一生态翻译学的核心论点,有助于避免翻译策略研究的主观性和随意性。
