文章以席慕蓉诗歌的莲荷意象为研究对象,探讨了莲荷意象作为文化意象缺省的英译策略。研究发现,依据莲荷意象的因袭性隐喻意象和创新性隐喻意象,意象自明和文外加注的翻译策略有助于目的语读者构建全新认知和诗学审美,以实现诗歌英译中文化意象缺省的跨文化传译。 The article takes the images of lotus and lotus in Xi Murong’s poems as the object of study, and explores the image of lotus and lotus as the default English translation strategy of cultural images. The research shows that the idiographic metaphorical imagery based on Lianhe’s image and the creative metaphorical imagery, self-evident imagery and extra-translational translation strategies help target readers build a brand new cognitive and poetic aesthetics in order to realize the cultural image of English translation of poetry Default cross-cultural interpretation.
