On peter newmark’s translation typology

Abstract

纽马克的翻译类型学以布勒的语言功能 理论为基础,并明显受到赖斯的影响。本文从纽马克的《一种翻译途径》、《翻译途径》及《翻译教程》等著作入手,分析了纽马克的翻译类型学,并将其与赖斯的 模式进行比较。研究表明,纽马克的翻译类型学对赖斯的模式作了一定的调整;在翻译策略上,前者更灵活,相对也复杂得多;在文学翻译方法上,纽马克比赖斯更 为详尽。 This paper investigates Peter Newmark’s translation typology through the analysis of several of his important works, namely, “An Approach to translation”, “Approaches to Translation” and “A Textbook of Translation”. Peter Newmark’s translation typology, though based on Karl Bühler’s language function, is obviously influenced by Reiss; their similarities and differences are also explored in this paper. The study indicates that Newmark’s translation typology is, to a certain degree, an amendment of Reiss’s model; the former is more flexible and complex in terms of translation strategies and more detailed in terms of literary translation methods.
