《金瓶梅》在西班牙语世界的译介与接受研究

薛禹彤（Xue Yutong），许靓（Xu Liang）

摘要：本文以明代经典小说《金瓶梅》在西班牙语世界的翻译与接受为研究对象，梳理该书从缺席到全译的历史进程，比较不同译本的翻译策略、叙述风格与文化定位，并分析媒体评论、读者反馈、学界研究和教学实践对其经典化的影响。文章基于翻译学与接受研究框架，将西语译介史划分为早期滥觞、全译出现和多元发展三个阶段，指出译者的文化适应与学术背景直接关系到译本的完整度和注释深度；两种西班牙语全译本形成了学术化与通俗化并行的格局，为目标语言读者提供了不同的阅读路径。文章认为，《金瓶梅》从“禁书”到文学经典的转变得益于权威译本、高质量注释以及包容的文化环境。其跨文化传播不仅丰富了西语世界对中国古典小说的认知，也为中国文学的经典化与世界文学对话提供了新视角。

Title: A Study of the Translation and Reception of Jin Ping Mei in the Spanish-Speaking World

Abstract: This article examines the translation and reception of the Ming-dynasty classic Jin Ping Mei in the Spanish-speaking world. It reviews the history of translations from early indirect excerpts to the simultaneous appearance of two complete translations in the 2010s, compares their strategies and paratexts, and analyzes media reviews, reader responses, and scholarly and educational receptions within the framework of translation and reception studies. The study identifies three phases: early experimentation, the arrival of complete translations, and diversified development. It argues that the combination of a faithful academic edition and a popularized rewrite enabled the novel to transition from a banned erotic book to a literary classic, enriching Spanish-language perceptions of Chinese fiction. The success of this cross-cultural transmission hinges on translators proficient in both cultures, high-quality annotations, and culturally open and supportive publishing environments. The Spanish translations of Jin Ping Mei have not only broadened the horizon of Chinese literature abroad but also contributed to the dialogue between Chinese classics and world literature.
