摘要

当代文本通常需要具有丰富背景知识的读者或观众。这背后的原因之一是互文性:每一篇文本在一定程度上都依赖于以前的书面、拍摄或绘画作品。通过另一种语言传递互文性意味着译者认识到典故及其功能,分析其在目标文化中的可识别性,并提供保持其语用效果的解决方案。在像动画片这样的多模式产品的情况下,译者还负责使语言渠道与非语言渠道相一致。本文着重探讨典故的翻译策略,以考察原文和译文之间的距离是否在典故幽默的传达中起着至关重要的作用。研究语料库是《辛普森一家》动画情景喜剧第五季及其三个译本的完整部分:德语、乌克兰语和俄语。根据语言幽默的一般理论(Attardo等人,2002)和典故翻译策略(Leppihalme,1992)对所选场景进行了讨论。研究结果表明,在寻找有效的翻译解决方案时,语言之间的距离不是一个关键因素,译者的能力在幽默翻译中起着重要作用。

Humor and allusions on screen
Contemporary texts often require a reader or viewer with vast background knowledge. One of the reasons behind this is intertextuality: every text is reliant, to a certain extent, on previous written, filmed, or painted artifacts. Conveying intertextuality by means of another language implies that a translator recognizes allusions and their function, analyses their recognizability in the target culture, and offers a solution that maintains their pragmatic effect. In the case of a multimodal product like an animated cartoon, the translator is also tasked with bringing the verbal channel to conformity with the non-verbal one. This article focuses on translation strategies of allusions to examine whether the distance between the original and target language plays a crucial role in conveying allusive humour. The research corpus is complete Season 5 of The Simpsons animated sitcom and its three translations: German, Ukrainian, and Russian. Selected scenes are discussed in light of the General Theory of Verbal Humour (Attardo, et al. 2002) and strategies for translating allusions (Leppihalme, 1992). The findings suggest that the distance between languages is not a key factor when searching for effective translation solutions, and that it is a translator’s competence that plays a major role in humour translation.
