张爱玲是中国颇具传奇色彩的女作家,在中国现代文学史上占有重要的一席之地。她无论是在创作和翻译时都十分重视读者的感受。本文从期待视野的文学期待视野入手,分析张爱玲如何在自译Stale Mates时采用增译和改译的方法。一、读者期待视野期待视野是姚斯(Jauss)基本理论中十分重要的概念。姚斯并不是把“期待”与“视野”两个词复合使用的第一人。艺术史家E.H冈布里奇曾把期待视野定义为一种“思维定向,记录过分感受性的偏离与变异。”[1] Eileen Chang, a legendary Chinese writer, occupies an important place in the history of Chinese modern literature. She places great emphasis on readers’ feelings both in her writing and in her translation. This essay begins with looking forward to the horizon of literature expectation, and analyzes how Eileen Chang adopts the method of adding and translating when translating Stale Mates. First, the reader expectations Horizons Expectations Horizons is a very important concept in Jauss’s basic theory. Yao Si is not the first person who combined “expectation” with “vision”. The art historian E. H Gonbridge once defined the horizon of expectation as a “thought orientation, recording deviations and variations in sensuality.” [1]
