Delabastita的双关语翻译理论在英汉翻译中的应用 : The application of Delabastita’s theory of pun translation to English-Chinese translation

本文以多個例子證明，Delabastita的雙關語翻譯理論雖然源自西方，但應用于描述英漢翻譯現象時，尤其能夠揭示譯者的翻譯觀，同時也可用來指導英漢翻譯實踐。目前，中西譯論交流不足，主要原因不在于翻譯理論的語言特殊性，而在于其文化特殊性。

This article tries to prove that, when applied to English-Chinese translation, Dirk Delabastita’s theory of pun translation is especially powerful in revealing the underlying concept of translation and may also serve as a guide to translators. It concludes that the lack of communication between China and the West in Translation Studies is due more to the culture- than the language-specificity of translation theory.
