Abstract
本論文旨在討論吳爾芙的書評翻譯，藉由翻譯引介Contemporary Writers這本完整的吳爾芙書評集，讓台灣讀者認識這位英國才女在散文、小說以外的不同面貌，再以劉宓慶教授提出的「翻譯審美再現」四大要求，檢視筆者譯文是否確實傳達原作之美。論文分為五章。第一章緒論概述研究動機與目的，以及原著作者與內容簡介，並整理吳爾芙相關作品在台灣出版現況。第二章配合論文主題，先就書評體例及發展歷史作一簡介，繼而說明吳爾芙的批評態度及書評文字風格。第三章研究方法與範例分析，引用劉宓慶為使文學翻譯審美再現獲得滿意效果所提出的四大要求，作為本論文的理論基礎，再用以檢視兩本吳爾芙論文集《普通讀者》和《論小說與小說家》的譯文，是否合乎標準。第四章接續第三章，以同一套要求檢視筆者譯文，繼而歸納出翻譯吳爾芙時容易產生的困難與障礙。第五章則為結論，先綜合評析本論文討論的譯文是否合乎筆者認定的書評翻譯標準，再從書評集的發展出發，討論台灣對於書評的不重視，是否會因相關翻譯愈來愈多而轉趨活絡。
This thesis aims at discussing translations of book reviews by Virginia Woolf. With introduction and translation of this complete collection of her book reviews, Contemporary Writers, I hope I can open another door for readers in Taiwan to appreciate Woolf’s talent in writing reviews in addition to novels and prose. Besides, I employ the basic requirements of the theory “Representation of Aesthetics in Translation” proposed by Professor Michael Liu to examine my own translation to see whether the translation has faithfully conveyed the beauty of the original lines. This thesis is divided into five chapters. Chapter one, Introduction, includes a general statement of the motivations and the purpose of this thesis, a brief introduction to the original text of Contemporary Writers and its author, and a general collection of Woolf-related works and translation in Taiwan. Chapter two, in accordance with the theme of this thesis, focuses on the introduction of the review as a genre and its history of development, followed by the description of Woolf’s critic attitude and literary style of reviews. Chapter three is Methodology and Model Analysis, in which I adopt Michael Liu’s four basic requirements from the theory of “Representation of Aesthetics in Translation” to evaluate the translations of two translated books of essays and reviews by Woolf, Novels and Novelists and The Common Reader to see if their translations has tallied with the four requirements. Chapter Four extends the evaluation of Chapter three. This Chapter focuses on evaluating and commenting on my own translations with the same requirements mentioned in the previous chapter, thus finding out the common difficulties and obstacles when translating Virginia Woolf’s works. Chapter Five is the conclusion. In this chapter, I make a general evaluation on translations discussed in the thesis to know if they have met with the standard I set for translating book reviews. Then I shift the focus on the development of book reviews in Taiwan, to see if it is possible for Taiwan to enhance its attention to book reviews with more and more translations of reviews coming out.
