生态翻译学视角下《一句顶一万句》文化负载词的英译研究——以葛浩文和林丽君译本为例

A Study on the English Translation of Culturally Loaded Words in Someone To Talk To from the Perspective of Eco-Translatology: A Case Study of Howard Goldblatt and Sylvia Li-chun Lin’s Translation

Culturally loaded words carry rich regional and ethnic characteristics, making their English translation crucial to the global dissemination of Chinese culture. Liu Zhenyun’s Someone To Talk To, set in Yanjin County, vividly portrays rural customs and local life, providing abundant linguistic and cultural materials for translation studies. This paper takes Howard Goldblatt and Sylvia Li-chun Lin’s English version as the object of study and, drawing on Eco-translatology, adopts a case analysis approach to examine the translators’ adaptive choices within the three-dimensional transformation framework. By analyzing representative examples, the study explores the strengths and limitations of the translation strategies applied to culturally loaded words. The findings aim to offer new perspectives and insights into the English translation of culture-specific expressions and contribute to the broader discussion on the cross-cultural communication of Chinese literature.

文化负载词承载着浓厚的地域特色与民族文化，研究其英译对传播中国文化具有重要意义。刘震云的《一句顶一万句》以延津县为背景，生动再现了农村的风土人情与乡土文化，书中大量文化负载词为翻译研究提供了宝贵素材。本文以葛浩文、林丽君合译本为对象，基于生态翻译学理论，采用案例分析法，探讨译者在三维转换中的适应性选择，剖析文化负载词英译策略的优势与不足，旨在为文化负载词的翻译实践提供新视角与新思路。
