内容摘要

本文旨在运用主述位理论解释汉语文言文中的无主句和省略的主语现象，同时探索用主位推进模式构建连贯语篇的方法，解决汉英翻译中无主句造成的非连贯语篇问题。通过分析汉语的无主句和省略主语的现象以及英汉语言的主位结构，文章以《捕蛇者说》的英译为例，证实以恰当的翻译方法来转换主位推进模式，可以解决文言文英译中无主句造成的非连贯语篇问题。论文认为，英汉两种语言的差异典型地体现在主位结构的不同之上。英语属于主语突出型语言，大多数英语小句的主位是由其主语充当的，这与韩礼德所定义的主位一致，因此是主语主位。而汉语属于话题突出型语言，大多数情况下汉语的话题和汉语小句的主语不一致，所以汉语属于话题主位。在两种语言的转换与翻译过程中，应该遵循语言的差异将汉语的话题主位转换成英语的主语主位，在转换过程中主要采用直译法。但是，由于汉语中存在无主句的现象，英汉语言的主位推进模式因而也不同。虽然译者可以补充汉语小句中的主语并且译为英语，但由于汉语的主语很多时候是模糊的，导致无法补充。在这种情况下译者应使用增译法在述位中为其英文句子选择合适的主语以使英语句子完整。但这会改变主位推进模式，从而破坏整个语篇的连贯性。由于主位推进模式注重主位与述位之间的关系，即句子的主位可以从小句中选择一个成分予以充当。因此，主位推进模式是译文语篇连贯的重要连接手段。由于英汉语言的差异，我们在处理原文与译文的主位推进模式时，应当采用转换翻译法以保留或重组原文主位推进模式的方法来确保译文的连贯。
