韩礼德(M.A.K.Halliday)等创建的系统功能语言理论被应用于翻译研究已有四十多年的历史。基于该理论的翻译质量评估模式的实证研究尚不充分。本文拟从该翻译质量评估模式,并结合莱斯(Reiss)的语篇类型学理论,对廖美珍教授的译作《在亚当之前》(英文原作为Refore Adam)进行翻译质量评估,以期扩充和丰富该翻译质量评估模式的实证研究,并为翻译质量研究提供一个实用客观的研究方法。 Systems functional language theory, such as M.A.K.Halliday, has been applied to translation studies for more than four decades. The empirical research on the translation quality assessment model based on this theory is not sufficient. This thesis intends to assess the translation quality of Professor Liao Meizhen’s translation of “Before Adam” (Revert Adam in English) in the light of the translation quality assessment model and Reiss’s discourse typology theory in order to expand and enrich the translation quality The empirical study of translation quality assessment model and a practical and objective research method for translation quality research.
