譯本愛爾蘭：傅利耦的《翻譯》

Translating Ireland: Brian Friel's Translations

本文結合國族主義、後殖民論述以及翻譯理論，探索傅利藕的《翻譯》。首先檢視愛爾蘭建國後修正族群記憶的過程，以勾勒《翻譯》的文化背景；再由翻譯在愛爾蘭國族文學中的定位切入，探索本作品如何透過情節、語言、主體建構、史實運用等面向「翻譯」愛爾蘭：最後再以創傷敘事與翻譯理論的角度，重新省思傅利藕譯本愛爾蘭的意義。

Adopting nationalism in conjunction with postcolonial discourse and translation theories, this paper explores the politics of Brian Friel's Translations. It begins with an inspection of the revision of national memory in post-independence Ireland in order to construct the cultural milieu of Friel's play, and proceeds to analyze the way Friel 'translates' Ireland through plot, language, identity construct and the use of historical facts in response to the general impulse for translation characteristic of Irish national literature. Finally, it reconfigures the significance of Friel's translation of Ireland from the perspectives of the narrative of trauma and translation theories.
