Abstract


Literature is to shape the image of a language reflects the art of social life. Literature can not be separated from the image. The so-called image, referred to herein is reading the image in the reader's mind or intention. Chinese and English two cultural commonalities and huge differences led to the complexity of the similarities and differences of these two languages ??in the image and sense. In literary translation, the the the primitive image can be appropriate to the conversion directly affect the entire translation effect. The four basic measures: image retention image of literary translation, image replacement image add image omitted. In recent years, many scholars have published articles about translation image conversion, such as: music Jinsheng (1998), Ray Jane Yung (2001), Three Friends, Li Jing (2003), Ben Ng (2004). The authors found that the purpose of the translation image processing method, the existing articles are merely display them as a means of image conversion level. So far, for the theory of these methods still lacks in-depth study and description, there is blindly engaged in the practice of translation, mishandling phenomenon. In this paper, starting from the literary works of the nature and characteristics of the conversion of the importance of image in the discourse of literary translation, and summarized four basic ways to convert the image from Adaptation Theory, teleological and cultural Vacancy in the height of the theory of the four basic ways to re- discussion of the basic principles of literary translation image conversion, and further study their adaptability in literary translation. The authors suggest that research on this subject is not only a fact, value, and to deepen our understanding of the nature of translation. Puliu people \In this paper, the analysis of its English translation of image processing examples, further confirms this paper, image reproduction, image replacement image to increase image omitted four image conversion adaptability of the basic methods of translation practice. In short, literary translation, the translator to convert the image should be accurate understanding the alleged meaning and pragmatic meaning of the image of the word based on, and fully consider the original context and translation context, the purpose of the translation, and asked readers acceptance in image reproduction, image replacement image increase image omitted four methods to make a choice. Image of reservation applies to the following two situations: when the same image in the same language primitive culture and the target language culture with meaning and can evoke the same association, the direct translation of the image of the primitive; When an image of primitive culture-specific in order to preserve the primitive culture of color and cultural exchanges and the image of the primitive transplanted to the culture of the target language. The image adds divided into the following two cases: although the primitive image connotative meaning embodied unknown. Need to add instructions in the target language accurately express the connotation; need for expression, or rather, appropriate for the target language, distinctive, more acceptable to the target language readers, primitive image can also add the image . When the image of the primitive cause different associations in the context of the target language, another target language readers familiar image of the primitive image has the same pragmatic meaning, with the familiar image of the target language readers instead of the primitive image, in order to create a new unified form and content. When the primitive image of both can not be reproduced in the target language, adding too cumbersome and make the translation target language, there is no alternative to the image of it, the only way to discard them only with a concise and powerful language interpreters primitive semantics , as much as possible to reduce the difference between the target language primitives effect of their readers. If the translator can be a proper use of these methods, to deeply understand and grasp the guiding theory, literary translation, translation quality will be greatly improved.
