Abstract

After implementing of the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) for four years, the Chinese government convened the BRI Summits in Beijing in 2017 and 2019, respectively. This article will address the questions of how the summits were covered in translated news by using empirical data from news published on the Reference News, a state-owned newspaper that publishes translated news, in comparison to news carried in People’s Daily, an authoritative national newspaper in China. Situated in the framework of political discourse analysis (PDA) within critical discourse analysis (CDA) and using the method of qualitative thematic analysis, the study shows that translated news is a platform where contentious ideologies are at play and where dominant ones leave little room for the confrontational. In this process, translators are submissive actors whose work is navigated by the agenda set by the authorities in either legitimizing or representing frames in mainstream media.

运作中的政治话语分析

“一带一路”倡议实施4年后，中国政府分别于2017年和2019年在北京召开了“一带一路”峰会。本文将通过使用官方出版翻译新闻的报纸《参考消息》发表的新闻与中国权威报纸《人民日报》刊登的新闻进行比较的实证数据，来解决翻译新闻如何报道峰会的问题。本研究立足于批评话语分析(CDA)中的政治话语分析(PDA)框架，采用定性主题分析的方法，表明翻译新闻是一个有争议的意识形态发挥作用的平台，在这个平台上，占主导地位的意识形态几乎没有给对抗性留下空间。在这一过程中，译者是顺从的行动者，他们的工作被权威机构所设定的议程所引导，要么使主流媒体的框架合法化，要么代表主流媒体的框架。
