语义翻译和交际翻译是翻译理论家彼得.纽马克的主要贡献,纽马克指出不同的文本类型应该用不同的方法翻译。他提出的语义翻译以原文作者为主,而交际翻译关注译语读者的反应。中国古典名著《红楼梦》的章回标题在传递信息的同时,具有鲜明的句法特征,正好对应了交际翻译和语义翻译的方法,将二者辩证结合能创造出更好的译本。 Semantic translation and communicative translation are the main contributions of translation theorist Peter Newmark, who notes that different types of text should be translated in different ways. The semantic translation proposed by him is dominated by the original author, while communicative translation focuses on the reaction of the target language readers. The headline of the famous Chinese classic “Dream of Red Mansions” has distinctive syntactic features while transmitting the message, which exactly corresponds to the method of communicative translation and semantic translation. The dialectical combination of the two can create a better translation.
