絲路揚帆》為例摘要福建省作為21世紀(jì)海上絲綢之路核心區(qū)，研究其城市形象宣傳片——《新時代的中國：生態(tài)福建絲路揚帆》的英譯字幕，對于促進文化交流以及福建省發(fā)展等方面起到重要作用。目前國內(nèi)外對于生態(tài)翻譯學(xué)理論的研究較少。國內(nèi)運用生態(tài)翻譯學(xué)理論研究城市形象宣傳片英譯文本的案例更是寥寥可數(shù)。本文通過了解分析原文所構(gòu)成的翻譯生態(tài)環(huán)境，著重從“三維”轉(zhuǎn)換中的語言維層面、文化維層面及交際維層面對福建省形象宣傳片英譯字幕進行研究，分析譯者對翻譯策略是否做出了適應(yīng)性選擇。在語言維層面,本文主要從詞、句、修辭手法三個方面進行研究；在文化維層面從文化負(fù)載詞和諺語兩個方面進行研究；在交際維層面從增譯和省譯兩個方面對字幕進行研究。將城市形象宣傳片的英譯置于該理論的視角下進行分析和思考，不僅擴大了生態(tài)翻譯學(xué)適用性的外延，也開創(chuàng)了城市形象宣傳片英譯研究的新范式。關(guān)鍵詞：城市形象宣傳片；生態(tài)環(huán)境；“三維”轉(zhuǎn)換；適應(yīng)性選擇Subtitle

Thetranslationismainlytoconformtotheprincipleof“multidimensionaladaptationandadaptiveselection”,thatis,toadoptappropriatetranslationmethodstorealizethe“three-dimensional”transformationofthetargettextinthelinguisticdimension,culturaldimensionandthecommunicativedimension.3.1.2AdaptiveSelectionInordertoeffectivelytransformthecross-culturalinformation,oneimportantruleistocomplywiththeprincipleofadaptiveselection.Thetranslatormakesanadaptationtoeco-environmentandselectshowtotranslate.“Sotranslationisdescribedasthecirculationoftranslator’sadaptationandtranslator’sselection”(胡庚申,2011(2):8).3.1.3Three-dimensionalTransformationTranslationisinamacro“translationaleco-environment”,thatis,anEnvironmentthatintegrateslanguages,communications,cultures,authorsandotherinterrelatedfactorsconnectswitheachother(胡庚申,2008).Inpracticaltranslation,thefocusoftranslationmainlyliesinthethreedimensionsoflinguistic,culturalandcommunicative.Theadaptiveselectiontothelinguisticdimensionespeciallycarriesoutintheadaptationoflanguageformandrhetoricstyle(胡庚申,2004).Hypotaxisandparataxisarethebasisoflinguisticdimensiontranslationstudies.Inthelinguisticdimension,Englishtranslationcanbeexploredfromthreeaspects:words,sentencesandfiguresofspeech,suchasanalyzingtheuseoffour-characterstructurewords,theconversionofpartofspeech,theadjustmentinsentencestructure,theuseofpersonificationandsoon.Inecologicaltranslation,theadaptivetransformationofculturaldimensionmeansthatthetranslatorneedstograspthetruemeaningofsourcelanguageandtargetlanguage.Whatismore,thetranslatoralsohastofocusonthedifferencesofthecultureofbothlanguagesandexpresshismeaningaccuratelysoasnottomisleadthereaders(胡庚申,2008).Intheculturaldimension,researcherscanstudythetranslationfromsomeparts,suchastheuseofculture-loadedwords,useofproverbsandsoon.“Humancommunicationequalstotranslation”(Steiner,2001:45).Theadaptiveselectiontransformationofcommunicativedimensionisthatthetranslatorpaysattentiontothebilingualcommunicativeintentionintheprocessoftranslation.Itrefersthatthetranslatorshouldchoosethepropermethodtoexpressthecommunicativeintentionoftheoriginalintranslation,soastomakethepeopleindifferentlanguageenvironmentcommunicatewell(胡庚申,2011).Inthisdimension,translationcanbeanalyzedfromtheomissionmethodandtheamplificationmethod.3.2PublicityVideoofCityImage3.2.1DefinitionThepublicityvideoofcityimagereferstothespecialvideothatpresentsthegeographicalenvironment,touristattractions,culturaltradition,historyandotherinformationofthecityinthelimitedtime(李元海,李愛平,2012).Thepublicityvideocontainsthreenecessaryelements:subtitle,pictureandsound.

Therefore,thetranslatorneedstousealimitednumberofwordsandchoosethemostconcisewaytoexpressitscoreideas.

Third,culturaldifferences.

Becauseofthetimelimitationofpublicityvideo,thetranslatorshouldbefamiliarwiththedifferentculturalenvironmentofthesourcelanguageandthetargetlanguage,andconvertthemappropriatelytohelptheaudienceunderstandthecontentofthepublicityvideothroughsubtitlesinashorttime.3.2.3ResearchTargetThemainpurposeofsubtitletranslationofpublicityvideoofcityimageistopublicizeinformationaboutthecitytothetargetaudienceaccurately,soastomaximizeitspublicityandcommunicationfunction(王甜麗,2012).Ideologywouldinfluencethereception,acceptanceorrejectionofliterarytexts(Munday,2001).Whatismore,Newmark,aBritishtranslationscholar,saysthetextofthepublicityvideoofcityimageisclassifiedasarallyingtext(黃書君,2016).

Therefore,thispaperadoptsEco-translatologytostudythepublicityvideoofcityimage.Inadditiontoaccuratelygraspingthecityimageandorientation,theauthorshouldhaveathoroughunderstandingofthecultureoftheenvironmentofsourcelanguageandtheenvironmentoftargetlanguage,comparethetwoculturesandmodifytheoriginaltextaccordingtotheprincipleofadaptiveselectioninthreedimensions,sothatthetargetaudiencecangetsimilarreadingeffectwiththesourceaudienceandachievethepurposeofprovidinginformationandpromotingcommunication.4.The“Three-dimensional”TransformationofthePublicityVideoofFujianProvinceThesubtitleofthepublicityvideoofcityimageofFujianProvincehasitsuniquelinguisticandenvironmentcharacteristics.

ThispaperiscombinedwiththesubtitletranslationofthepublicityvideoofcityimageofFujianProvince--ChinaintheNewEra:Eco-friendlyFujian,GatewayfortheMaritimeSilkRoad.Theauthormainlyanalyzesthetranslator’sadaptationinexternalpublicitytranslationfromthreeperspectivesoflanguage,cultureandcommunication.4.1TheAdaptiveSelectionofLinguisticDimensionTheadaptiveselectionandtransformationoflinguisticdimensionreferstotheadaptiveselectionandtransformationoflanguagecontentandform,whichmainlyincludesgrammar,syntax,sentencepatterns(田靜,2019).

HypotaxisandparataxisarethebasiclinguisticfeaturesdeterminedbytheculturaldifferencesbetweenChineseandEnglish,whicharethebasisoflinguisticdimensiontranslationstudies.Inthefollowingpart,thispaperaimstostudytheEnglishsubtitlesofpublicityvideoofFujianimagefromthreeaspects:words,sentencesandfiguresofspeech.4.1.1TheAdaptiveSelectionofWordsandPhrasesDuetodifferentcultures,ChineseandEnglishdifferfromeachother.Therefore,translatorsshouldpayspecialattentiontoitwhilestudyingthesubtitletranslationofpublicityvideo.Next,thispaperaimstostudysubtitlewordsfromtwoaspects:theuseoffour-characterstructurewordsandtheconversionofpartofspeech.4.1.1.1TheUseofFour-characterStructureWordsBecauseoftheemphasisonparataxisinChinese,mostofthesubtitlesofpublicityvideoofChinesecityimagetakenoticeofthetidinessofsentencepatternsandtheuseoffour-characterstructurewords.

InmanypartsofthepublicityvideoofFujianProvince,four-characterstructurewordsareusedtodescribethelocalsituationofFujianProvince.Somefour-characterstructurewordsrelatedtopeople’slivelihoodandcurrentpoliticsintheoriginalsubtitlesmaycausemisunderstandingiftheyaretranslatedliterally.Therefore,thetranslationshouldbebasedontheiractualmeaning.ThereforethetranslatorshouldadapttotheenvironmentoftheoriginallanguageandconformtothehypotaxisofEnglishtochoosethesuitableexpressionforthetargetlanguagesuchasusingpassivesentencepatternstoexpressthetruemeaningoforiginalsubtitles.Exampleone:建檔立卡、造福工程、產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展，“精準(zhǔn)扶貧”的經(jīng)驗是福建對世界減貧事業(yè)做出的重要貢獻。Translation:Thepracticeof“targetedpovertyalleviation”byidentifyingpovertyhouseholds,developingrelocationprojectsandfosteringsuitableindustriesisanimportantcontributionthatFujianhasmadetopovertyreductionintheworld.TheaboveChinesesubtitleusesanumberoffour-characterwordsthatcontainChinesecharacteristicsaboutpeople’slivelihoodandcurrentpolitics.Theliteraltranslationofsuchfour-characterstructurewordsisquitedifferentfromtheoriginalmeaning.

Therefore,thetranslatordoesnotuseliteraltranslation.Theauthortranslated“精準(zhǔn)扶貧”into“targetedpovertyalleviation”whichusedtheleastnumberofwords.“建檔立卡”issimplifiedaccordingtothepoorfamiliesitserves,whichistranslatedas“identifyingpovertyhouseholds”.

Accordingtothemostpressingdemandforhousing,“造福工程”istranslatedinto“developingrelocationprojects”.

And“產(chǎn)業(yè)發(fā)展”meanstodeveloptheindustrywhichconformstotherealityofFujian,soitwastranslatedinto“fosteringsuitableindustries”.Theabovetranslationsofthefour-characterwordsnotonlyaccuratelyrealizetheconversionbetweenthesourcelanguageandthetargetlanguage,butalsobetteradaptitswordingandexpressiontothetargetlanguageenvironment,makingthetargetlanguagereaderseasytounderstand.Exampletwo:向海而生，福建是中華海洋文明的發(fā)源地。Translation：ThrivingandprosperingbytheseamadeFujiantheoriginofChinesemaritimecivilization.Inthetranslationofthisexample,thetranslatorcombinestheactualsituation,whichisconducivetodeliveringaccurateinformationtoreaders.Firstofall,accordingtoitsregularusage,theword“生”intheoriginaltextiseasilymisunderstoodas“l(fā)iving”or“existing”.Butthetranslatorcombineswiththelasthalfsentence--“福建省是中華海洋文明的發(fā)源地”.Headaptstotheenvironmentofsourcelanguage,understandstheculturalbackgroundandseizesthe“文明的發(fā)源地”,soastoaccuratelygraspthemeaningof“生”intheChinesesubtitlesshouldbe“prosperity”.Thefirstconditionofadaptiveconversionoflanguagedimensionistodeliverthemeaningaccurately.

Thetranslatoradaptstotheoriginallanguageenvironment,accuratelyexpressestheactualmeaningof“生”.Whatismore,thetranslatorchoosesthetranslationmethodwhichisclosetotheexpressionhabitofthetargetlanguage,conformstotheaudience’sthinkingmode,generatesresonance,andhelpsthemtounderstandthesubtitle.Thetranslatorhasmadeadaptiveselectioninlinguisticdimension.4.1.1.2TheConversionofPartofSpeechThedualattributesoftheessenceoftranslationaretheabsolutenessoftransformationandtherelativityofequivalence(許鈞,穆雷,2009).Inadditiontotheuseoffour-characterwords,translatorscanalsouseconversionofpartofspeechtoachieveadaptivetranslationoflanguageform.Somekindsofwordsshouldbereplacedbyotherwordsofdifferentpartsofspeech,suchasreplacingverbswithnouns.Examplethree:改革開放40年，福建經(jīng)濟總量從60多億上升到3.58萬億，福建躋身中國經(jīng)濟綜合競爭力優(yōu)勢省份行列。Translation:Throughreformandopening-upoverthepast40years,Fujianhaswitnessedanincreaseofeconomicaggregatefromabout6billionYuanto3.58trillionYuanrankingamongthetoptierofthemosteconomicallycompetitiveprovincesinChina.Intranslation,ifthetranslatorblindlypursuestheconsistencyoflanguageform,itmayleadtoredundancy.

Itisnotonlyinconflictwiththespatiallimitationofsubtitletranslationofpublicityvideo,butalsohinderstheaudiencefromunderstanding.

Therefore,intheprocessoftranslation,itisnecessarytoadaptintothelanguageformofthetargetlanguage.

Thetranslatorhasfullyfollowedthisconversionprincipleandusespart-of-speechconversionstrategy.

Therearetwoverbsintheoriginaltext.Oneis“上升”andtheotheroneis“躋身”.Thetranslatoradaptstotheeco-environmentoforiginaltext,andaccuratelyunderstandsthesetwowordsas“increase”and“rank”.Whatismore,thetranslationconformstothelanguagehabitofthetargetlanguagetoturnthetwoverbsintonounsandprepositionalphrases,andaddsaverb“witnessed”toguidethenounsandprepositionalphrases.

Thetranslatornotonlyadaptstotheenvironmentoforiginalsubtitletochoosetheproperwords,butalsomakesselectionbymeansofpart-of-speechconversion,whichconformstotheexpressionhabitsofEnglish.Suchtranslationbetterexpressestheconnotationoftheoriginaltextwhilemaintainingtheconcisestructureofthesentence.4.1.2TheAdaptiveSelectionofSentencesDifferencesinlogicalthinkingbetweenEnglishandChineseleadtodifferencesinthewaythetwolanguagesareexpressed,thatis,thediscrepanciesinidiomaticwordorderandsentencestructure.Therefore,inordertoadapttotheexpressionhabitsofEnglishandenhancethecomprehensionofEnglishsubtitles,thetranslatorshouldobeytheruleofadaptivese
