剖析森鸥外译《即兴诗人》的“超过原作”现象

森鸥外译《即兴诗人》被誉为是＂超过原作＂的翻译。本研究通过与日本大畑末吉和中国刘季星两位译者的《即兴诗人》译本进行比较,找出了森鸥外的三大翻译策略,并通过实例,论证三大策略在森鸥外翻译中的作用及意义,指出＂超过原作＂翻译从表面上看是翻译策略的问题,根本上还是翻译观的问题,森鸥外对小说翻译应注重＂艺术性＂、＂趣味性＂的态度是其译作独树一帜的根本原因,他艺术性地、创造性地再现原作体现了一种在特定文化语境下的＂创意翻译＂。

No Need for Modesty Here: Enhancing Japan's Public (Intellectual) Diplomacy

Japan is well known as a highly literate nation and ranks high in the actual as well as relative number of books published annually. A significant number of these books include translations of foreign works as well. However, Japanese works translated into foreign languages, especially English, are far less common. While interest in Japan is high, this does not mean Japan has influence. This article argues that Japan's failure to see more of its writers' works, some of which are world class or cutting-edge, published abroad limits not only its public diplomacy and soft power appeal, but also prevents Japan from making a greater contribution internationally. In order to improve this situation, this article introduces a detailed recommendation for a translation/publishing project in which important works of universal importance written by Japanese authors would be identified, translated, and published rapidly to contribute to the intellectual debate on a wide range of subjects in all fields.
