摘要
德国传教士郭实猎1833年向西方译介的《香山故事》是他翻译的第一部中国叙事文学作品。韩南认为郭氏所译为《香山宝卷》,但他并未言明考证过程和翻译底本。笔者通过对郭氏译文的细读和比照,确定其翻译底本与同治杭州慧空经房《香山宝卷》相符,并以此为本对他的宝卷翻译特点及影响进行评述。郭实猎的传教士身份、中文水平及其对中国文学、文化传统认知不足等因素使其宝卷译文充斥着删节与误读,制约了他随后的中国叙事文学译介。
The Story of the Fragrant Hill,translated by the German missionary Karl Gützlaff in 1833,was the first narrative Chinese literary work he translated.Patrick Hanan claimed that the translation was of Xiangshan Baojuan without providing any evidence or detailed information concerning the source text.Through a close reading and comparison of the target text,we confirm that the source text of Karl Gützlaff’s translation is consistent with the“Fragrant Mountain Treasure Scrolls”printed by Hangzhou Huikong Sutra Store in the Tongzhi period.We also comment on the characteristics and influence of his translation.Due to his status as a missionary,his Chinese language level and his lack of understanding of Chinese literature and cultural tradition,Karl Gützlaff’s translation of the scroll was full of omissions and misinterpretations,which restricted his subsequent translation of Chinese narrative literature.
