景物及空間描寫之翻譯策略

Translation Strategies for Scenery and Space Description

現代上班族生活繁忙壓力又大，開個小店成為諸多年輕人的夢想。於是，市面上出現了許多介紹店家經營的書籍，其仲介紹日本店家人文風貌的書籍更如雨後春筍般紛紛冒出。在翻譯研究中，景物描寫很少被提出討論，多數都在分析作家之作品風格。本論文希望透過市面上有關人氣書店或咖啡店及民宿的翻譯書籍的詞句表現，來了解景物描寫之翻譯策略及問題點。本論文所採用之景物描寫篇章主要有：民宿、咖啡館，書店，雜貨舖等之店家介紹。並將其分成「周遭自然風景」、「店家內部擺設」、「店家外部空間」、「店家整體氛圍」四大類型來比較，探究中日兩種語言描述景物的用詞差異，且針對描述方式來分析坊間書籍翻譯之策略及問題點。希望藉由實例分析及探討,對今後景物描寫之翻譯指導提供有效且具體的參考策略。 Modern office workers are busy and under a lot of pressure. Therefore, opening a small store and running their own business has become a dream for many young Taiwanese. As a result, many books introducing the running of small stores have appeared on the market. In particular, these books talk about how the cultural style of Japanese stores has mushroomed. In translation studies, scenery descriptions are rarely discussed. Most of these analyses look at textual style. This article uses expression analysis from published translations to understand translation strategies and their resultant problems when describing scenes in Chinese and Japanese. The landscape description chapters referred to in the article are as follows: chapters introducing guesthouses, coffee shops, bookstores, and home accessory stores. We divide the content into four major types for comparison: ＂natural scenery＂, ＂interior furnishings of stores＂, ＂outdoor space of stores＂, and ＂the overall atmosphere of stores＂. We discuss the differences in wording used when describing scenery in the Chinese and Japanese as well as use the means of description to understand the translation strategies and problems from published books. We provide an effective and specific reference for future guidance on translation strategy for scenery descriptions through analysis and the discussion of actual cases.
