《楚辞》是中华文化的精粹。本文运用框架理论的知识对《楚辞》的意象翻译进行分析研究。20世纪30年代,“框架”概念诞生是基于心理学家对记忆语言学研究所得。最先把此概念引进语言学的是美国语言学家C.J.Fillmore(1975)。框架适于表征特定的、频繁出现的情景知识和信仰,是一种描写认知语境的方法,这种认知语境是人根据经验建立的概念与概念之间的相对固定的关联模式。 “Chu” is the essence of Chinese culture. This article uses the knowledge of frame theory to analyze the image translation of “Chu Ci”. The birth of the concept of “framework” in the 1930s was based on the psychologists’ study of memory linguistics. The first to introduce this concept to linguistics was the American linguist C.J.Fillmore (1975). The framework is suitable for representing specific and frequent episodic knowledge and beliefs. It is a way of describing the cognitive context, which is a relatively fixed relation between concepts and concepts established by experience.
