摘要

在语言历史领域,人们并不是最近才发现,在莎士比亚的时代,称呼代词thou和you并不是随意使用的。如果说话者确实可以在两种形式之间做出选择,那么这种选择绝不是随机的、特殊的或武断的,而总是由言语行为的社会、关系或态度背景决定的。尽管如此,所有20世纪罗马尼亚语对《罗密欧与朱丽叶》(以及其他莎士比亚戏剧)的翻译——从哈拉拉姆·莱卡相当松散的翻译(1907年)到Ștefan-Octavian伊西夫的翻译,再到维吉尔·特奥多雷斯库更精炼的版本(分别是1940年和1984年)——似乎都忽略了两种形式之间联想意义的差异,而这对于正确评估人物之间的关系有时是必不可少的。这部剧的最新罗马尼亚语译本,我们已经联合提交,准备在第三个千年莎士比亚计划中出版(威廉·莎士比亚)。Opere XIII, 2018)承认两个代词所携带的各种联想意义的重要性,并努力将这些意义恢复到文本中,尽管并非没有困难,因为原始形式相当严格,即抑扬格五音步,通常有严格的押韵方案。因此,专注于著名的“共享十四行诗”作为一个代词交替的最相关的实例,我们讨论了你你在早期现代英语的使用,正在评估是多少迷失在20世纪的翻译,来展示我们自己的翻译恢复的联想意义两种代词的形式,最后举例说明如何设法克服翻译困难引起的韵律和风格要求文本。

Of “You” and “Thou,” Lips and Pilgrims in the Translation of Romeo and Juliet’s “Shared Sonnet”: A Hands-On Perspective
Abstract It is not a recent discovery in the field of language history that the address pronouns thou and you were not, in Shakespeare’s time, used indiscriminately. If the speaker did have a choice between the two forms, that choice was by no means random, idiosyncratic or arbitrary, but always dictated by the social, relational or attitudinal context of a speech act. Nonetheless, all 20th-century Romanian translations of Romeo and Juliet (and of other Shakespearean plays) – from Haralamb Leca’s rather loose rendering (1907) to Ștefan-Octavian Iosif’s and to Virgil Teodorescu’s more refined versions (1940 and 1984, respectively) – seem to ignore the difference in associative meaning between the two forms, which is sometimes essential for a correct assessment of the relationships between characters. The latest Romanian translation of the play, which we have jointly submitted for publication within the Shakespeare for the Third Millennium project (William Shakespeare. Opere XIII, 2018) acknowledges the importance of the various associative meanings that the two pronouns carry and strives to restore these meanings to the text, though not without difficulty, given the rather restrictive form of the original, i.e. iambic pentameters, often with strict rhyme schemes. Thus, focusing on the well-known “shared sonnet” as one of the most relevant instances of pronoun alternation in the play, our paper discusses the uses of you and thou in Early Modern English and sets out to assess how much is lost in 20th-century translations, to show how our own translation restores the associative meanings of the two pronominal forms and finally to exemplify how we managed to overcome translation difficulties entailed by the metrical and stylistic demands of the text.

期刊介绍: Founded in 1999, American, British and Canadian Studies, the journal of the Academic Anglophone Society of Romania, is currently published by Lucian Blaga University of Sibiu. Re-launched in refashioned, biannual format, American, British and Canadian Studies is an international, peer-reviewed journal that sets out to explore disciplinary developments in Anglophone Studies in the changing environment forged by the intersections of culture, technology and electronic information. Our primary goal is to bring together in productive dialogue scholars conducting advanced research in the theoretical humanities. As well as offering innovative approaches to influential crosscurrents in contemporary thinking, the journal seeks to contribute fresh angles to the academic subject of English and promote shape-changing research across conventional boundaries. By virtue of its dynamic and varied profile and of the intercultural dialogue that it caters for, ABC Studies aims to fill a gap in the Romanian academic arena, and function as the first publication to approach Anglophone studies in a multi-disciplinary perspective. Within the proposed range of diversity, our major scope is to provide close examinations and lucid analyses of the role and future of the academic institutions at the cutting edge of high-tech. With this end in view, we especially invite contributions in the fields of Comparative Literary and Cultural Studies, Postcolonial Theory, Area Studies, Cultural Anthropology, Language and Linguistics, Multimedia and Digital Arts, Translation Studies and related subjects. With its wide subject range, American, British and Canadian Studies aims to become one of the academic community’s premium scholarly resources.
