To the investigation of the translation problems of the children's picture books from the perspective of functional translation of Christiane Nord - at the example of the works of Helme Heine

[[abstract]]兒童繪本，又稱兒童圖畫書，台灣坊間常見之兒童繪本極大比例是由外文譯為中文之翻譯文本，因此市場上充斥著由不同語言翻譯為中文之兒童繪本。這些繪本之原文常是國外文學榜上赫赫有名之著作，然而這些譯本有否經過縝密的校稿與嚴格的把關？譯者在翻譯過程中是忠實地呈現原文內容，或是因為出版社或委託者的目的而有所更改？外國語文與中文之間必定存在著些許不同的語言與文化差異，譯者如何處理原文訊息為本論文主要探討的要點之一。 本論文採用德國作家兼畫家─赫姆‧海恩（Helme Heine）之作品，透過功能理論學派克里絲汀‧諾德（Christiane Nord）所提之「功能加忠誠理論」、「翻譯的功能類型」與「翻譯問題分類」，探究圖畫書之德語原文與中文譯本間，譯者的翻譯行為是否符合該理論所訴之忠誠，譯文與原文之間的功能與效果是否相同或相似。此外，在翻譯過程中不可避免地會遇到文化因素之翻譯問題，筆者亦藉由文化翻譯的概念，以補諾德翻譯理論之不足，探討在翻譯過程中，當面臨源語文化特有的習俗、慣例與概念時，譯者除了採用歸化翻譯方式之外，是否有可能透過異化翻譯策略，讓目的語讀者透過翻譯文本學習到不同的新知識，拓展視野。[[abstract]]Children’s picture books in Taiwan are mostly the Chinese transla-tion of famous foreign children literature This thesis focuses on the Chinese translation of children literature In other words this re-search investigates the translation problems of children’s books This thesis looks into the Chinese translation of Helme Heine who is a famous German writer and painter from the perspective of Christiane Nord Nord’s theory is concerned with translation func-tions translation typology and faithfulness (Funktionsgerechtigkeit + Loyalität) which are employed to examine whether the function of the source text is similar to that of the target text In addition this research also adapts the concepts of foreignization and domestica-tion to explore how the translator deals with cultural differences in the translatio
