运用功能主义翻译目的论赏析《水浒传》习语英译_其他

解析：“负荆请罪”是著名历史故事，廉颇背着荆杖，向蔺相如请罪。形容主动向人认错，自请责罚。杰译的“confess my fault”和沙译“apologize”都采用意译的方式，比较准确地表达了原文的意思。此处若直译，不免会给不熟悉中国历史的西方读者造成阅读障碍。

例4、石秀迳把迎儿的首饰也去了，......说道：“哥哥，这个小贱人留他做什么！一发斩草除根！”

杰译：Why should we spare this little plotter? If she remains there will always be a source from which trouble might grow.

沙译：Why leave this little tramp? Get rid of the weeds, roots and all.

解析：杰译采用意译，虽能传递原文的交际功能，但没有采用直译的沙译更为形象。沙译保留了原文的比喻，能够唤起西方读者对“斩草除根”这一成语的正确联想。

例5、皇城对他说道：“我家是金枝玉叶，有先朝书铁券在门”。

杰译：My husband told that Yin Yianxi that our family was of very high standing and that we held an iron tablet inscribed by the Emperor himself.

沙译：Your uncle Huangcheng said to him: “ Our family is of noble origin. An earlier emperor bestowed a Wrought Iron Pledge on our family that...”

解析：在中国“金”和“玉”都是珍贵的宝物，是高贵和富裕的象征。“金枝玉叶”比喻出身高贵的人。两位译者都采用了意译的方法，较好地达到了交际目的。
