功能对等理论注重利用自然恰当的译语再现源语的风格和意义,力求译语读者与源语读者能获得相似或相同的阅读感受。在翻译中国经典文学作品时,译者应确保源语和译语在内容、风格、情感和形式等方面的对等,使译本读者能从中理解中国文学的意蕴。基于功能对等理论,本文从词语对等,句子对等和语篇对等三个层面分析鉴赏杨宪益英译的《阿Q正传》。 The theory of functional equivalence pays attention to the reproduction of the style and meaning of the source language by using natural and proper translations so that the target reader and the source reader can obtain similar or identical reading experience. When translating Chinese classics, the translator should make sure that the source language and the target language are equal in terms of content, style, emotion and form so that the readers of the translated version can understand the meaning of Chinese literature. Based on the theory of functional equivalence, this essay analyzes Appreciation of the True Story of Ah Q by Yang Xiangyi from the perspective of equivalence of words, sentence equivalence and discourse equivalence.
