(王芳芳,2012）The Comparison and Analysis of Word Translation in Gone with the WindAn brief introduction to the Author and the Work 3.1.1 An brief introduction to the Author Margret Mitchell was a famous American writer.She was born

27、in Atlanta,USA.She has become a journalist in 1922.later she began to write the novel Gone with the Wind in 1926.It was after ten years that the novel has awarded the Pulitzer Prize in 1937.In 1949,Margret Mitchell has died of car accident.Gone with the Wind is the only literature of her.It has not

28、only become the literary classic,but also become famous among the American literary community.Since its publish,it has constantly being translated into various language .It has been popular till today. The Background Information of Gone with the Wind The southern states of American before the Civil

29、War is called the old south or the Confederacy,while the central government is called the Federation government.Known for its planation economy and slavery,the old south has its irreplaceable significance in the American history as a marking of a particular historical period.The reason of American C

30、ivil War ,as most Chinese are taught,is that the south wanted to secede from the United States of America.The fact is,by the 1950s,merchants constituted the majority of the northern states and capitalism took on a dominating majority ,and slavery still reined the society.Almost all the northern stat

31、es were against slavery and the southern states insisted on it.Thus there was a conflict of interest between the north and south.The states of the country at that time enjoyed quite a high degree of autonomy from the central government.Thus when the conflict becomes so fierce,the southern states cla

32、imed independence from the Federation.The Civil Wat broke out and the South lost.The United states of America,united in a way it had never been before the war,strode on the way to mature capitalism as well as the strongest power of the world.Gone with the Wind tells a story about the life of people

33、in the old South before,during and after the Civil War. 3.1.3 An Introduction to the Content of Gone with the Wind Scarlett was an outing and beautiful girl.She enjoys the admiration of almost all the boys in her town,except may be only one ,Ashley Wilkes.Yet he is the only one she wants to marry.Sh

34、e told Ashley Wilkes that she loves him but is refused by Ashley ,who says he has been engaged with her cousin Melaine Hamilton.Their conversation is over-heard by Rhett Butler,a man who enjoys no ones welcome in the South because he once turned down a girls asking of marriage.Rhett appreciates Scar

35、letts braveness and frankness of love.But Scarlett didnt have an good impression on him at all.To a certain extent,Scarlett hated him.Scarlett got so angry about Ashley and Melaines engagement that she married Melaines younger brother Charles as revenge to Ashley.Soon the Civil War has broke out and

36、 every young man in the town,including Charles went to the war in the place of Confederation.Later,news came that Charles died in the war.Therefore,Scarlett became a 17-year-old widow.As the war became fierce,mang of Scarletts childhood friends died in the battlefield, and the South has lost the war

37、. Rhett didnt go to the war.Instead,he did gunrunning and earned a big fortune.He visited Scarlett from time to time.She gradually changes her attitude toward Rhett,and she became more honest in expressing her true thoughts.She became brave in action. During the whole period of the war,Scarlett has

38、experienced several biggest blows in her life.Her mother has died in the war and her father got neurotic.Scarlett was forced to face the cruel reality of the war and undertaken the responsibility to support the whole family.The war has turned a spoiled missy into a strong-minded and practical women.

39、Later Scarlett married her sisters lover for money to support the family.Then her husband died in fight.Later she agreed to marry again for the sake of money.They lived happily,but Scarlett thought of Ashley.The rumors about her and Ashley has spreaded in the town.Rhett got angry and left home with

40、their daughter.After Rhett came back home,Scarlett went to tell him that she was pregnant but Rhett didnt listen to her and satirized her.In rage,Scarlett fallen down the stairs and lost the baby.Rhett felt deep regression and he thought that Scarlett must never wanted to see him again.Since then,th

41、ey lived separately.After a short while,Scarlett and Rhetts daughter died accidentally when ride a pony.Rhett broke down and got drunk all day.Scarlett left their house,too.It was Melanies extremity that joined them together again.At the last moment,the demise of Melanie made Scarlett understood tha

42、t she didnt love Ashley.It has always been Rhett that she loves.She just didnt realize it before.She rushed to tell Rhett about het love.However,Rhett was exhausted by her after all these years. He left her for good.At the end of novel,Scarlett sat at the stairs of her house,saying out the lines so

43、famous around the world afterwords:“I will think of it all tomorrow,at Tara.I can stand it then.Tomorrow,I will think of some way to get him back.After all,tomorrow is another day.”(Margret Mitchell,2006)3.2 The Significance of Vividness in Translation of Person Name Literary translation is an impor

44、tant part in translation field.In recent years,people has made many criteria about it.Such as YanFu proposed “elegant ”,FuLei proposed “vivid”.All of these standards have a common point that the literary translation should vividly express the aim of the original text.The theory of vividness is a kin

45、d of representative theory of literary translation.It was put forward by FuLei.He pointed out that whether the translation is successful or not ,it has been based on the vivid express but not just the alike words.In general,vividness refers to the inner essence of objective things.It doubles the hei

46、ght of essence that lies in the nature of objective things .It reveals the unique temperative of things.In China,there is an old saying:“people as the name implies”.Because name will be associated with ones whole life,name is very important.Generally speaking,when we translate person names,we usuall

47、y adopt the method of domestication,foreignization,free translation etc. Different translators applied different methods.A contrast of the two translations of DaiKan and ChenLiangting in the name translation is shown in the following table:Margret Mitchell DaiKan in 2003 ChenLiangting in 1990Melanie

48、 Hamilton 媚兰.汉密尔顿 枚兰妮.汉密尔顿 Ellen 爱伦 埃伦Mammy 黑嬷嬷 黑妈妈 Both DaiKan and ChenLiangtings translation of persons name using the method of foreinization.However,it is totally different.In ChenLiangtings version,he translated Scarlett into “斯佳丽”.As long as readers have a first sight at it,a beautiful image o

49、f Scarlett has been fleshed out.The chinese letter“丽”can vividly show the external image of Scarlett.This also conforms to the chinese tradition of naming.In China,when people giving a females name,they pursuit that womens name should be feminine.The word “丽”can convey the tradition very well.In add

50、ition,as we know,the protagonist Scarlett is charming and beautiful,so it is ChenLiangtings translation can achieve the effect of vividness.For Rhett,a man who is cynical and down-to-earth person.His way encountered opposition from the people.He was seen as an unethical and a person without much com

51、passion about his country.He is only a man of speculation.Based on this view,DaiKans translation of德doesnt cut the original text intention.While in ChenLiangtings version,he translated it into瑞特 is much better,because it avoid the problem.Ashley is a weak man who is at the mercy of fate.The word“爱”“

52、唉”are homophones.The word 爱let readers thinks of Scarletts crazy love for him.The word 唉is full of something of pity and conveys his weakness.It also conveys the tragedy in the character of his composition.It was reasonable for ChenLiangting to translated Melanie Hamilton into 兰which stands for the

53、orchid.Since ancient times,the chinese has regard the women who has good quantities as the orchids.And most of this kind of women is a representative of the graceful virtuous.In the novel,Melanie happens to be a women like this.(文军，高晓鹰，2003）While DaiKan translated it into 媚，the word make readers hav

54、e a feeling of something of turbulent in her character.For Scarletts mother Ellen,we can see in the novel that Ellen is a gentle women.Scarlett always getting power from her.In that case,DaiKans version of 爱伦make readers feel the gentle personality of her mother.While Chens version of 埃伦 has somethi

55、ng of masculine.On the translation of the black nanny Mammy,DaiKans translation is totally different from the ChenLiangtings.DaiKan translated it into 黑嬷嬷，it reads more cordial and conveys the difference of status.However,in Chens version,it is 黑妈妈 which sounds like kind but without indicating the s

56、tatus difference.ming has been an important part in translation of literary work.The name reflects the characterscharacteristics.It is endowed with profound cultural connotations.Regardless of domestication or foreignization etc.Translation should not be limited to the method but should be vividly r

57、eflect the intention of the original text.3.3 Language Diachronic in the Translation of Place Name Margret Mitchell FuDonghua in 1940 Chen in 1989 Li in 2006Georgia 爵吉亚 佐治亚 佐治亚州Tara 陶乐垦殖场 塔拉庄园 塔拉农场Atlanta 饿狼陀 亚特兰大 亚特兰大 Generally speaking,when we translate the place name,we should according to dictio

58、nary transliteration terms which have been established.Otherwise it would make readers confuse and can not understand the true place.（恩愚，2004）It labeled as 佐治亚in the dictionary.It is very clear in the dictionary that Georgia is a state in southeastern of United States. And Atlanta is the capital of

59、Georgia.In general,the standardization of place names translation should be accordance with the transliteration,for the same name according to the established principles.(廖七一，2005）In ChenLiangtings version,he translated Atlanta into 亚特兰大，Georgia into 佐治亚，and Tara into 塔拉庄园 with the principle.Obvious

60、ly,we can see from the three version that FuDonghuas translation has the characteristics of the times of last century 40s.He translated almost all the place name in a naturalized wayso that everyone can read it.Thua it greatly reduce the obstacles of understanding of the target language readers.In t
