Abstract

Abstract The idea of keywords was introduced in Raymond Williams’ seminal Keywords. A Vocabulary of Culture and Society (1976), and has since had a profound influence on research in multiple fields. This article explores what the idea of keywords might contribute to the study of interlinear translations from Arabic into Javanese. The interlinear translation, which presents an Arabic text with a word-for-word Javanese translation appearing between its lines, is a space where languages, beliefs, and entire histories encounter one another on the page. Taking as my example the 1864 interlinear Babad Maulud (a Javanese translation of the Arabic Maulid Syaraf al-Anām , recited on the Prophet Muhammad’s birthday), I suggest that despite the Javanese translator’s overall literal translation strategy which attempted to duplicate the original, he or she decided to add “Javanese keywords” at particular points in the translation, with such exceptions revealing contemporary Javanese understandings of social etiquette, identity and genealogy.

翻译中增加:爪哇伊斯兰文本研究关键词
关键词的概念是在雷蒙德·威廉姆斯的《关键字》一书中提出的。《文化与社会词汇》(1976)一书,此后对多个领域的研究产生了深远的影响。本文探讨了关键词的概念可能有助于从阿拉伯语到爪哇语的行间翻译研究。行间翻译是一篇阿拉伯语文本,字里行间出现了一字不差的爪哇语翻译,是一个语言、信仰和整个历史在页面上相遇的空间。以1864年的Babad Maulud(阿拉伯语Maulid Syaraf al-Anām的爪哇语翻译,在先知穆罕默德的生日上背诵)为例,我认为尽管爪哇译者的整体字面翻译策略试图复制原文,但他或她决定在翻译的特定点添加“爪哇关键词”,这些例外揭示了当代爪哇人对社会礼仪,身份和家谱的理解。
