摘要
"wilderness"既是美国生态思想的一个关键词,也是美国生态批评的重要概念。国内生态文学研究普遍使用“荒野”这个译法,该译法可能源于杰克·伦敦小说的中文译本《荒野的呼唤》。但是,“荒野”的含义根植于中国传统农业文明、实用理性、人文情怀与正统意识,"wilderness"的观念根植于西方蛮族狩猎文化、宗教信仰、海洋文化与边缘意识,二者差异显著。因此,在尊重历史的基础上,因地制宜采用各种译法翻译"wilderness",体现后者复杂的内涵,并符合中美文化传统在生态观念与审美意识方面的深刻差异,是更好的选择。
“Wilderness”is both a key word in American ecological thought and an important concept of American ecocriticism.In the Chinese eco-literature study,“wilderness”is widely translated into“荒野”in Chinese,which may be derived from the Chinese translation of Jack London’s novel The Call of the Wild.However,the meaning of“荒野”is rooted in traditional farming civilization of China,practical rationality,humanistic feelings and orthodox consciousness whereas the concept of“wilderness”is rooted in the savage hunting culture of the West,religious beliefs,marine culture and marginal consciousness.Significant differences exist between them.Therefore,“wilderness”,while following the historical realities,had better be translated in various terms to suit local conditions,embodying its complex connotations as well as conforming to the profound differences in ecological concepts and aesthetic consciousness of Chinese and American cultural traditions.
