Abstract
For the young protagonists of his 1962 novel A Clockwork Orange written in the English language, Anthony Burgess invented a timeless slang called Nadsat, which is mainly based on the Russian language, thus challenging the translators with the task of preserving the linguistic creativity and atemporality employed in the novel. This must also be complemented by the easiness with which the slang is apprehended due to its embeddedness in the context. These factors render the translation process into any language exigent and give translators a plethora of opportunities to showcase their creativity. Considering the different approaches that the translators into various languages used to translate and reinvent the invented slang, the aim of this paper is to test the importance of the context for the comprehension of different translations of Nadsat on the example of the sole Croatian translation and two Russian translations which use diametrically opposite approaches to the translation of the slang. That is, the objective is to see how well native speakers of Croatian and Russian comprehend the translation of the novel’s invented slang in isolation and in context, as well as to some extent compare the level of their comprehensibility.
Abstract (russian)
Самый известный роман Энтони Бёрджесса «Заводной апельсин» (1962 г.), выделяется своим специфическим языком, который до сих пор вызывает интерес исследователей, не только литературоведов, но и лингвистов. Язык романа, написанного на английском языке, отличается тем, что Бёрджесс в нем для персонажей-подростков, создал совсем новый молодежный сленг – надсат, основой для которого использовал именно русский язык, но не только русский, так как на него повлияли и между прочим сленг кокни, английский язык Шекспира и елизаветинцев и малайский язык. Тот факт, что сленг основан на русском языке сделал перевод на русский еще сложнее, но это не помешало ряду переводчиков постараться перевести сленг. Для данной работы выбраны два перевода 1991-ого года, демонстрирующих совсем разные подходы к переводу надсата. Речь идет о переводе Владимира Бошняка; основой его сленга является русский язык, но сленг написан латиницей и иногда добавляются английские суффиксы; и о переводе Евгения Синельщикова, чей сленг основан на английском языке и написан кириллицей. Данная работа занимается понятием сленга, созданного в этих двух переводах и в единственном хорватском переводе Марка Фанчовича (1999), в котором для основы надсата сохранен русский язык. Цель настоящей работы – определить, насколько хорошо носители русского и хорватского языков понимают переводы придуманных слов сначала в изоляции, а потом в контексте, т.е. с помощью короткого отрывка с самого начала романа, а целью также является сравнение степени понимания хорватского и русских переводов.
