The Ballad of Sad Café被誉为美国南方女作家卡森·麦卡勒斯最好的作品,出版后受到美国评论界的热烈批评,这部小说迄今有两个中译本,一为1975年金圣华所译的《小酒馆的悲歌》,一为1978年李文俊所译的《伤心咖啡馆之歌》。本文以The Ballad of Sad Café的金圣华和李文俊译本为研究对象,借鉴法国社会学家皮埃尔·布迪厄社会学理论的核心概念惯习,通过细读比较两译本,分析译者惯习对译者翻译选择的影响。笔者认为两译者受教育、职业、性别等因素的影响,形成了不同的翻译惯习,因而产出了风格相异的译本。 The Ballad of Sad Café, hailed as one of the best works by the American southern writer Carson McCullers, was enthusiastically criticized by the American critics after her publication. There are two Chinese versions of this novel so far, The translated “tales of the tavern,” a 1978 translation of “Wen Wei sad song”. This article takes The Ballad of Sad Café’s Jin Shenghua and Li Wenjun’s translation as the research object, draws lessons from the core concept habit of the French sociologist Pierre Bourdieu’s sociology theory, compares the two versions through careful reading, The Influence of Translator ’s Choice of Translation. The author thinks that the two translators are influenced by the factors such as education, occupation, gender and so on, resulting in different translation conventions, thus resulting in the translation of different styles.
