한국 현대시의 중국어 번역에 대한 고찰-유자효 <추석>의 중국어 번역문을 중심으로

Abstract

This paper discussed about Chinese translation of Korean modern poetry. The research is based on the different translation versions of a Korean modern poem Chu Seok written by Yu Jahyo. Translation methods are reviewed and compared by three aspects including paradigmatic and syntagmatic relation, rhetoric and translation into ancient Chinese poetry. We found that translators always select words from semantic fields in which words are in paradigmatic relationship. Translators always use many literary expressions, which could be explained by the defamiliarization theory. We also paid attention to the rhetorics and found that to make better translations, translators used extra rhetorics which are not used in the original text including metaphor, repetition and “nianlian”. Some translators translated the modern poetry into ancient Chinese poetry’s form. It could make the translations have a rhythm and be more compact and could satisfy the readers who prefer the ancient poetry's form. But some translations are not faithful to the original text and some translators might not have enough language ability of ancient Chinese, which could be a problem.
