모파상 단편의 한국어 이종 번역 연구 - 김소월과 최재서의 번역을 중심으로-

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is a comparison between the two Korean translations from a French short story, L'odyssée d'une fille written by Guy de Maupassant. This paper marks out the five major features distinguishing Kim Sowol's translation from Choi Jaeseo's translation:First, Kim's translation(1923) is thought of as the direct translation from the original French text, while Choi's translation(1934) as the indirect translation from an English translation of the French text. Second, Kim's translation(1923) shows somewhat different aspects from the current Korean orthography, for the translation appeared before the Unification Rule of Korean Orthography in 1933. On the contrary Choi's translation(1934) shows following the 1933 Orthographic system. Third, the two Korean translations differ in the matter of translation stylistics as suggested by Vinay and Darbelnet's study: the ratio of direct translation(word-toword)to indirect translation(transposition, modulation) in Kim's translation(1923) is 114 : 80, while the ratio in Choi's(1934) is 172 : 22. Fourth, in the matter of cultural vocabulary, Kim's translation(1923) tends to domesticate foreign cultural words, whereas Choi's(1934) translation tends to foreignize them. Fifth, Kim's translation(1923) conveys a lot of Korean indigenous words including onomatopoetic and mimetic ones, and Choi's translation(1934) already introduces the translationese expressions directly translated from English text.
