Abstract


The image is an important element of classical Chinese poetry, Chinese poetry translation can not be ignored, but a poem, regardless of the length, not a single image isolated rendering, but organic combination of a few or a group of image . Poet through the imagery of the combination of art, to create a mood, to express the feelings, the poetry of life more tension, more potential aesthetic poetry. The Image Translation research stay in a single image of imagery combinations Translation few, and it has been the study of only a rule of thumb, the lack of the necessary theoretical guidance. This article aims to explain the combination of the English translation of Chinese Poetic Image process from the perspective of relevance theory to reveal the image combination into English communicative and cognitive nature, and to explore the Combination of Images in English translation strategy based on the associated theory. Relevance theory that human communication activities designed to achieve optimal relevance, that the listener want to not need to spend unnecessary cognitive effort will be able to obtain sufficient contextual effects. The combined English translation of Poetic Image as a special language communicative activities, the use of a language interpretation, the translator understanding and interpretation Combined Images in the same pursuit of optimal relevance. This paper discusses the importance of the image of the concept and the Ancient Chinese Poems Combined Images, and divided according to the relationship between a single image contrast type, mounted, radiation, analog, synesthesia, progressive and jumping seven kinds Combination of Images. Understanding of the combination of the image is a translator seek the Image of the original poem cognitive context associated with their own. Different cognitive environment, the translator and the original poem Shared natural communication in the second communication environment, the translator should first reach their own cognitive environment the original poet cognitive environment mutually manifest, so that the image of the combination of understanding, The translator must not only seek the best correlation of the single image, but also pay attention to a single image is the art combined contextual effects. The paper further explores the relevance theory proposed the concept of \This faithful to the concept of translation behavior Gert called indirect translation, this translation does not emphasize changing the cognitive environment of the target readers, the translator simply translated the original in the Readers' Cognitive context sufficient contextual effects section, and the reader to do this without spending unnecessary cognitive effort. Translation of imagery combination, indirect translation will make the original poem and some unique imagery generated by the combination of contextual effects disappear; Combination of Images in a single culture imagery, this translation may also weaken the image in contextual effects generated by the original poem. Therefore, the article that the the translator translated image combination is like a combination of the original poetic optimal relevance in Ze-wen transfer process. The translator can guide the reader to understand the the original poem communicative clues provided under the original poem Image Combination, by changing the cognitive environment of the target readers, as far as possible, kept the original poem Image Combination transit Translated. For the English translation of a single image in the image portfolio, articles, The translator should Translated keep single image in the image portfolio related to service in the reproduction of the image overall portfolio contextual effects. The ultimate goal of the translator is the image of a combination of cognitive context of the target readers the contextual effects similar to the original poem Combination of Images, and let the reader to do this without spending unnecessary cognitive effort.
