周金波〈志願兵〉譯文探析：文化翻譯的視角

An Analysis of Chinese Translation on Shu Kin-Pa’s“Shiganhei”: From the Perspective on Cultural Translation

周金波的短篇日語小說〈志願兵〉（1941）因其內容貼近日本軍國主義動員殖民地人民的政策，被定位為「皇民文學」，戰後長期受到忌諱並忽視。解嚴後，雖有從認同問題另闢分析路徑的論述，進入二十一世紀後研究依舊稀少，議論方式也不脫於皇民/非皇民一組概念間的辯論。2002年，該中文版由周金波長子周振英譯出問世，此後的研究雖多引用該文，但研究者不約而同地對其進行修改，間接顯現中譯品質值得商榷的跡象。對此，本文浮出兩個問題意識：〈志願兵〉研究稀少、切入角度貧乏是否肇因於雙重翻譯造成的閱讀隔閡，而不盡然是內容因素。次之，針對中譯的品質問題，除了技巧的探討外，援引文化翻譯的幾個概念，重新釐清造成/覺得「翻譯不好」的判斷機制如何而生，試論牽涉其中的民族主義、現代性糾纏運作的痕跡。

As Shu Kin-Pa’s novel 'Shiganhei' (1941) depicts the Japanization of Taiwan during World War II, the work has been positioned as 'imperialist literature,' and become a taboo for a long time after the war. Although there have been discussions from the perspective on identity in the last 30 years, studies are still few. None of research papers go beyond the debate on Japanization of the work and the writer. In 2002, the Chinese version was translated by Zhou Zhenying, Shu’s eldest son. Though related studies since then mainly cited this translation, some researchers have revised it, which implies the questionable accuracy of the Chinese version. In this regard, this paper raises two questions: are the lack of research on 'Shiganhei' and the lack of perspectives due to not so much the contents as the reading gap caused by double translation? Secondly, in view of the quality of Chinese translation, in addition to the discussion of techniques, this paper also cites several concepts of cultural translation to re-clarify how one makes the judgment that considers the Chinese version a translation expecting further improvement and discusses the questions of nationalism and modernity involved.
