多模态话语分析视角下《流浪地球２》字幕英译研究

A Study on Subtitle Translation of The Wandering Earth Ⅱ from the Perspective of Multimodal Discourse Analysis

摘要

基于张德禄提出的多模态话语分析综合理论框架,以《流浪地球２》为研究对象,结合其中的文字、声音和图像符号,采用定性和定量的研究方法,从文化、语境、内容和媒体四个层面考察译者如何综合运用多种符号传达电影语篇的整体意义,以期为国产电影走向世界提供指导.研究表明:在文化层面,译者主要采用直译或意译的方法;在语境层面,译者一般采用直译或意译的方法,如有必要,辅之以增译的技巧;在内容层面,译者强调语言的人际意义和概念意义,大多采用直译的方法,辅之以分译或增译的技巧.此外,文字、声音和图像之间主要存在互补关系中的协调或突出关系;在媒体层面,译者和电影制作人都较好地结合了语言媒体和非语言媒体这两种形式.

Abstract

Based on a synthetic theoretical framework for multimodal discourse analysis proposed by Zhang Delu, with The Wandering Earth Ⅱ as the research object, this article combines this film’s symbols, namely the language, sound, and image, and adopts qualitative and quantitative research methods to investigate how translators synthesize various symbols to convey the overall meaning of the film’s discourse at four levels: the level of context of culture, the level of context of situation, the semantic level, and the level of media, thereby guiding domestic films to go global. The study shows that: at the level of context of culture, translators mainly utilize literal or free translation methods; at the level of context of situation, translators generally adopt literal or free translation, supplemented by the technique of addition if necessary; at the semantic level, translators emphasize the interpersonal and ideational meanings of language, and mostly use literal translation, supplemented by techniques such as division or addition. Besides, there is chiefly coordination or highlighting relationships in the complementary relationship among language, sound, and image; at the level of media, both translators and filmmakers have integrated two media forms, namely language media and non-language media well.
