| Popis: | One of the most frequent debates regarding translation processes is the extent to which a translation can provide the original values of the translated language. If a usual linguistic utterance is not difficult to be translated into another in other language, the same is not true for phraseologies, especially idioms and proverbs. Based on equivalences between Japanese and Portuguese proverbs, this text seeks to answer questions like these: 1. Is “translation” and equivalences between proverbs from different languages possible? 2. Do all proverbs have the same difficulty in being translated or in finding an equivalence in another language? 3. What are the dimensions in which the greatest difficulties for a translation appear? 4. Why does sakura (cherry blossoms) represent the ideal of beauty and also the ideal for Man? 5. The most recent studies of genetics show that cultural and genetic differences are interrelated. Do the differences between Japanese and Portuguese proverbs allow us to see this? 翻訳におけるいくつもの過程に関して、最も頻繁に提起される問題の １つは、翻訳がどの程度まで、翻訳された言語の元来の価値を示すこと ができるのかである。通常の１つの言語の発話を他の言語に翻訳するこ とは困難ではないとしても、同様のことが用語法、とりわけ慣用表現や 格言において当てはまるとは限らない。日本語とポルトガル語の格言に おける等価の観点から、本稿は以下の問いに答えようとするものである。 １．異なる言語の格言における「翻訳」と等価は可能か？ ２．あらゆる格言は翻訳あるいは他の言語に等価を見ようとする際、同 じ難しさを示すのか。 ３．翻訳にとっての最大の難しさは、どのような局面に現れるのか。 |
