Abstract
In Slovenia, surtitles are increasingly used to facilitate access to the textual content of a play when it is performed for an international audience. The process of creating a translation in the format of surtitles is characterized by complexity and hybridity, as a translation of a theatre text, even when available, needs to be adapted for a different medium. This paper examines how English surtitles for the Slovenian play Pavla nad prepadom / Pavla above the Precipice were created by comparing four versions of the text of the performance.
在斯洛文尼亚,越来越多地使用字幕,以便在为国际观众演出时方便获取剧本的文本内容。以字幕形式创作翻译的过程具有复杂性和杂交性的特点,因为戏剧文本的翻译,即使是可用的,也需要针对不同的媒介进行改编。本文通过比较四个版本的表演文本,研究了斯洛文尼亚戏剧《悬崖上的帕夫拉》(Pavla nad prepadom / Pavla above the cliff)的英文字幕是如何创作的。
