Three-Process Analysis Method on the Translation Process of Metaphorical Clothes Images in the Graceful and Restrained Poetry
Abstract
Considering the frequent appearance of clothes and decoration in the graceful and restrained poetry, this paper studied on the image of “greenish sleeves” in Tune: Mountain Hawthorn:She never likes to cross the river far composed by Yan Jidao(1038-1110A.D.), a representative Ci poet of the graceful and restrained poetic school in the Northern Song Dynasty of China (960-1127A.D.), a monumental period in Chinese literature. This paper borrowed as theoretical support Chinese scholar Lin Xinru’s three-process analysis method, which is a daring application of Fauconnier’s Conceptual Blending Theory in the interlingual discourse of translation. According to the guiding method, this paper analyzed the translation process of the selected poem mainly from the processes of comprehending and translating since the process of revising is a recycle of the former two in actual translation. The translation selected for analysis is provided by Xu Yuanchong, an authoritative Chinese translator of classic Chinese literature. The analysis result revealed that the blending types judged from the correspondence structure can be a pragmatic reference for translators in the translating process.
