偽譯與後殖民敘事：《臺灣漫遊錄》及其英譯本分析

Abstract

2020 年小說《臺灣漫遊錄》表面上是一部當代中文譯本，聲稱原文是二十世紀日本作家青山千鶴子所寫的台灣旅行記。然於出版後發現，該書實為台灣作家楊双子之原創小說，使其構成所謂「偽譯」（pseudotranslation）——即以翻譯之姿呈現，但實際上並不存在對應原文文本之作品。本論文採取跨領域研究取徑，結合後殖民翻譯研究與旅行書寫理論，探討楊双子如何透過偽譯策略寫出臺灣的殖民歷史。本論文並透過副文本（paratext）分析，探究作者如何藉由多重且交織的女性視角，挑戰傳統的歷史敘事，重構殖民多元性的社會與文化。此外，本論文進一步分析2024年出版的英譯本 Taiwan Travelogue，探討譯者金翎如何將文本中複雜的文化與歷史元素傳遞給英語讀者。金翎採用高度異化（foreignization）的翻譯策略。透過該策略，能保留原文的特殊。並且譯者在副文本中的貢獻，彰顯了「譯者的能見度」。分析並對比《臺灣漫遊錄》及其英譯本時，本論文指出，後殖民語境下的翻譯有兩種功能：本論文指出，後殖民語境下的翻譯是一把雙面刃：它既可能複製殖民社會中不對稱的權力關係，也可能透過保存文化差異與邊緣歷史，對這類權力結構展開抵抗。最後，本論文期盼為臺灣文學研究開拓新視角，並探討「高度異化」的翻譯策略如何影響臺灣文學在國際場域中的傳播與接受。

The 2020 novel《臺灣漫遊錄》, by Taiwanese writer Yang Shuang-zi (楊双子), presents as a new Mandarin translation of a twentieth-century Japanese travelogue by Aoyama Chizuko, who travelled around Taiwan during the Japanese colonial period. After publication, the book was revealed to be an original novel by Yang, making the text a pseudotranslation—a supposed translation for which no source text actually exists. This thesis adopts a an interdisciplinary approach that draws on theories of postcolonial translation and travel writing to examine how Yang Shuang-zi uses pseudotranslation to reimagine and reframe Taiwan’s colonial history. This thesis uses a paratextual analysis to explore how Yang unsettles dominant historical narratives and reconstructs colonial experience through multiple, intersecting female perspectives. Further examination of the 2024 English translation, Taiwan Travelogue, translated by Lin King (金翎) explores how the translator mediates cultural and historical elements for an Anglophone audience. King employs extensive foreignization strategies that preserve cultural specificity and foreground the translator’s role. By examining the original Mandarin novel and its English translation, this thesis looks at how translation in postcolonial contexts can both reinforce and resist asymmetrical power relations present in colonial and postcolonial societies. It also seeks to contribute to scholarship on Taiwanese literature and provide insight into how translations of these works are circulated and accepted abroad.
