摘要：本文参考蒙娜·贝克在《翻译与冲突:叙事性阐释》一书中所用之理论框架,并借鉴叙事伦理学的观点,对五三版《牛虻》译著中的叙事建构以及由此引发的翻译伦理问题进行了深入剖析。文章析出以下几条结论:第一,译著中的翻译建构不只是删节,还包括时空建构、标示性建构等多种策略。第二,翻译建构的参与者不仅有中青社,还有在选词上煞费苦心的译者李俍民。第三,翻译建构的驱动力是时代所赋予的,以维护社会主义国家政治利益为核心的伦理诉求,但推动译著完成的还有另一种理想化的伦理诉求,即再现作品文学性,沟通中西文化。这两种伦理思想的交锋使译本呈现出不同的叙事语调,为读者开启了无限想象的空间,也给后世研究者留下了有待挖掘的领地。

Based on Mona Baker's narrative approach to translation and the ideas from narrative ethics, this paper explores the framing strategies and translation ethics in the 1953 Chinese version of The Gadfly, with three points of view listed in the conclusion: First, the framing strategies are of various kinds in the text, including not only omissions, a kind of selective appropriation of textual material, but also temporal and spatial framing and framing by labels. Second, the framing is done by Li Liangming, the translator as well as China Youth Publishing House, the sponsor. Third, the framing is motivated by an ethical claim of the times, with the maintenance od socialist ideology as its core, but there is still another ethical standard influencing the translator 's work, which is to reproduce the original text faithfully so as to make it literally value and description of western culture known to the Chinese readers. It is the two clashing ethics that brought about the 1953 version with different narrative tones and research values.
