本文分析了翻译时叙事空间会发生什么。其主要目标是展示我们如何通过叙事学和比较翻译分析的双重视角来加深对空间的理解。我将引用法国加勒比作家帕特里克·夏莫瓦索（Patrick Chamoiseau）创作的虚构宇宙来说明这一点。特别是，示例将取自《Chronique des sept Misères》（2002 [1986]）、《Texaco》（2003 [1992]）以及这些小说的英语和荷兰语翻译。在介绍性的第一部分之后，本文基于三层空间方法提出了分析中使用的叙事框架：读者构建的空间、文本呈现以及文本本身的话语空间。第三部分采用相同的三重结构，通过对原文和翻译文本的比较，对夏莫瓦索的文本进行分析。在第四节中，分析的结果将面对夏莫瓦索自己的翻译观点。分析表明，空间不仅是通过叙事和文体程序创造的，而且是在话语层面上创造的，即文本为自身创造的说话空间，迈格诺（Maingueneau，1993：123）将其称为“场景学”。它还展示了从翻译研究中获得的见解如何帮助叙述学家意识到这种相互作用，以及考虑到建构空间、文本表现和发音空间的彻底的叙述学分析如何可以帮助翻译学者更好地评估译者选择的影响。
This article analyzes what happens to the space of a narrative when it is translated. Its main goal is to demonstrate how we can deepen our understanding of space by seeing it through the twin lenses of narratology and comparative translation analysis. I will refer to the fictional universe created by the French Caribbean author Patrick Chamoiseau to illustrate this point. In particular, examples will be taken from Chronique des sept misères (2002 [1986]), from Texaco (2003 [1992]), and from the English and Dutch translations of these novels. After an introductory first section, the article sets out the narratological framework used in the analysis, based on a three-layered approach to space: the space constructed by the reader, its textual rendering, and the discursive space of the text itself. Adopting the same threefold structure, the third section offers an analysis of Chamoiseau’s texts, through a comparison of original and translated texts. In Section 4, the results of the analysis will be confronted with Chamoiseau’s own view on translation. The analysis shows how space is not only created by narratological and stylistic procedures, but also on the level of discourse, in the space the text creates for itself to speak from, which Maingueneau (1993: 123) has termed ‘scenography’. It also demonstrates how insights gained from translation studies can help narratologists to become aware of this interaction, and how a thorough narratological analysis that takes into account constructed space, its textual manifestation, and the space of enunciation, may help translation scholars better evaluate the impact of the translator’s choices.
