摘要

传统上,翻译《圣经》中的隐喻的方法假定隐喻是具有潜在“字面意义”的描述性文学手段。认知语言学的研究挑战了这一观点,并出现了一个新的研究领域——概念隐喻理论。概念隐喻理论对意象隐喻和概念隐喻进行了区分,意象隐喻是将目标与源进行比较来描述,而概念隐喻是将抽象或复杂的概念领域从具体的人类经验中提取出来的更具体或熟悉的概念领域来理解。本文探讨了在翻译圣经时识别概念隐喻和分析其可及性的重要性。译者在遇到不符合文化传统的概念隐喻衍生的比喻性语言时,可能会尝试将源域的映射元素转化为一系列描述性的形象隐喻。如果译者经过培训,能够识别使用比喻性语言的概念隐喻,并考虑将其明确化,那么这种意义偏差就可以得到缓解。作为一个案例研究,以以弗所书6:13-17的翻译为例,由一位译者在Paratext笔记的指导下,在传统的隐喻翻译方法的训练下(Larson 1984)完成的翻译(tpl)与鼓励在段落开头将潜在的概念隐喻“准备是穿衣服”明确化后完成的第二种翻译进行了比较。

Dressing for Spiritual Battle and Other Challenges: Translating Passages with Underlying Conceptual Metaphors
Traditionally, the approach to translating metaphor in Scripture assumed that metaphors are descriptive literary devices with an underlying “literal meaning.” Research in cognitive linguistics has challenged this idea, and a new field of study, conceptual metaphor theory, has emerged. Conceptual metaphor theory draws a distinction between image metaphors, where a target is described in comparison to a source, and conceptual metaphors, where an abstract or complex conceptual domain is actually understood in terms of a more concrete or familiar conceptual domain drawn from embodied human experience. This paper examines the importance of identifying conceptual metaphors and analyzing their accessibility when translating Scripture. Translators who encounter figurative language derived from underlying conceptual metaphors that are not culturally conventional may try to convert the mapped elements of the source domain into a series of descriptive image metaphors. This skewing of meaning could be mitigated if translators were trained to identify conceptual metaphors licensing figurative language and consider making them explicit. As a case study, a translation of Ephesian 6:13–17 in Tlacoapa Meꞌphaa (tpl) produced by a translator guided by Paratext notes and trained in the traditional approach to the translation of metaphors (Larson 1984) is compared with a second translation produced after encouragement to make the underlying conceptual metaphor PREPARATION IS GETTING DRESSED explicit at the beginning of the passage.
