节奏是文学作品中很重要的衔接手段,如果这种节奏的创作技巧没能翻译出来,不仅有损文学文本的主题意义,还会影响文学语言的美学效果。相比诗歌的节奏讨论,翻译界对小说节奏的往往显得不太热情。本文选取曼斯菲尔德的短篇小说《理想之家》为例,对原文和三个译本进行赏析和比较,探讨小说节奏在作品中作用,以及其在翻译中的处理,以希望小说的节奏能在译界的讨论中,译者的笔触下保存下来。 Rhythm is a very important means of convergence in literary works. If this rhythm’s creative skills can not be translated, it not only detracts from the main meaning of literary text but also affects the aesthetic effect of literary language. Compared with the discussion of the rhythm of poetry, the translation community often appears less enthusiastic about the rhythm of the novel. Taking Mansfield’s short story Ideal House as an example, this essay comprehends and compares the original text and the three versions, explores the role of novels in their works and their handling in translation, Translation of the discussion, the translator’s pen saved.
