日中翻譯對照研究──以斷捨離之書籍的翻譯問題為例

A Comparative Study of Translation Between Japanese and Chinese: Examples of Book Translations on Decluttering

生活日益富裕，人們對物品的看法與處理方式也和過去大相逕庭，不再隨意囤積物品。不管是日本還是台灣，紛紛出版了相當多談論斷捨離的書籍，由專家達人教導大家如何動手整理家中形形色色的物品。而其中又以日譯中的作品為多。然而儘管此類日譯中的書籍相當常見，卻極少被討論到翻譯之相關問題。本研究藉由書中對整理步驟、收納技巧、心情點滴等之陳述進行剖析，將其分為「難譯詞」、「收納指示表現」、「整理整頓之擬聲擬態詞」，以及「心情感受」四大類型，檢視在斷捨離之相關書籍中，中日文在表達形式上的差異，並探討譯者在翻譯過程中以何種策略來解決問題。本研究同時希望藉由多本市售書籍之實例分析及探討，對今後有關物品整理整頓描寫之翻譯指導提供有效且具體的參考策略，對日後翻譯教學有所助益。 As society is becoming more prosperous, people view and deal with goods in a very different way to the past; they no longer hoard items at will. In both Japan and Taiwan, there have been many books published about decluttering with experts teaching people how to organize everything in the home. Of these, there are many works in Chinese translated from Japanese. However, although these translations from Japanese into Chinese are quite common, the problems surrounding translations have rarely been discussed. The present study analyzes descriptions of decluttering steps, storage techniques, and emotions in these books, classifying them into four categories: ＂hard to translate text,＂＂storage performance,＂＂onomatopoeia,＂and ＂hard to translate text.＂The aim is to examine the differences in the forms of expression between Chinese and Japanese in books related to decluttering, and to discuss what strategies translators use to solve problems during the translation process. The present study will carry out an analysis and discussion based on commercially available books, providing an effective and specific reference strategy for the translation of text on organizing and decluttering; this will contribute to the future teaching of translation.
