从二十世纪六七十年代开始,翻译理论发展成为了跨越多种学科的复合式的理论研究,其中六十年代德国出现的功能派把目光放在了翻译的目的和译文的功能上。德国学者卡塔琳娜.赖斯和其学生维米尔提出的功能目的论(SkoposTheory)是功能派的代表理论。本文试从功能目的论的观点对《红楼梦》的两个译本——中国翻译家杨宪益及夫人戴乃迭的译文和英国著名汉学家霍克斯的译文,进行对比并分析两种译本语言的相异之处。 Since the 1960s and 1970s, the development of translation theory has become a complex theoretical study spanning many disciplines. In the 1960s, functional groups in Germany focused on the purpose of translation and the function of translation. The SkoposTheory proposed by the German scholar Katharina Rice and his student Vermeer is the functionalist theory of representation. This essay attempts to compare and analyze the two translated versions of A Dream of Red Mansions - the translators of the Chinese translator Yang Hsien-yi and his wife Diane and the famous British sinologist Hawkes from the perspective of functionalism. Differences.
