An in-depth analysis was conducted on Professor Yuan Honggeng's article "A Brief Account of the Great Meaning", which comprehensively explores the interpretation and translation of literary texts. The article not only reviews the author's new work, but also explores the expression and understanding of meaning in literary translation from multiple perspectives.
Deeply explored the complexity of expressing and understanding literary meaning. Yuan Honggeng pointed out in the article that despite various theories and hypotheses, understanding language and writing is still challenging. He quoted Tao Yuanming's viewpoint that there is a "true meaning" in the text, which contrasts with the postmodern view that certain concepts cannot be expressed. The nihilistic stance of postmodernism is partly based on Derrida's deconstructivist theory, which emphasizes the differences in linguistic symbols and ignores Saussure's views on the relationship between signifier and signified. Saussure believed that the meaning of linguistic symbols comes from the conventional combination between signifier and signified.
In depth exploration of the role of implicit/dual narrative processes in literary works, particularly how this narrative technique can enrich and expand the concept of 'subtle but profound meaning'. The author points out that traditional narrative analysis often only focuses on the development of the plot, while ignoring the implicit processes that run parallel to the plot. These implicit processes can express thematic meanings that are different from the development of the plot, thereby increasing the semantic density and depth of expression of the text. By analyzing Kate Chopin's "A Pair of Stockings," the author demonstrates how to identify three parallel narrative processes of feminism, consumerism, and naturalism within the same paragraph. These processes conflict with each other but complement each other, collectively forming the "big idea" of the text. This analysis not only reveals the multi-level connotations of the text, but also emphasizes the subjectivity and selectivity of readers in the interpretation process. The author further points out that the emergence of 'subtle words convey great meaning' depends on the interaction between different narrative processes within the text, as well as the reader's attention and interpretation of these processes. This viewpoint challenges traditional text interpretation methods and provides new perspectives and theoretical support for literary criticism and translation practice.
By analyzing the translation examples in Mansfield's "Psychology" and Edgar Allan Poe's "The Leaking Heart," this paper explores the handling of implicit/dual narrative processes in translation. The original text presents the development of the plot through the inner activities and external behaviors of the male and female protagonists, while constructing implicit processes such as the protagonist's unrequited love. When translating, the translator needs to pay attention to the selection of key vocabulary in the original text to convey a dual narrative process. For example, when translating "Psychology", I tried to be as close to the original text as possible through literal translation, while "Micro Words and Big Meanings" attempted to improve, but did not fully consider the transmission of implicit processes. In the translation of 'The Leaking Heart', translators need to pay attention to the ambiguity of the word 'villages' to preserve the implicit process of self condemnation. In addition, the chapter also discusses how to balance plot development and implicit processes in translation, as well as how to use translation choices to give the translated text the potential to express a dual narrative process.
Critics both domestically and internationally often focus on the deeper meaning of the plot, neglecting the implicit/dual narrative process. Literary interpretation and translation are limited by previous understanding and need to break free from constraints to achieve a more comprehensive understanding. As a theoretical proposer, the author explores how to break through pre understanding and convey neglected narratives in translation. At the same time, the author thanks Professor Yuan Honggeng for his attention and the opportunity provided by the editorial departments of "Micro Words and Big Meanings" and "English Literature Research" to further elaborate on relevant theories.
