This article examines the translation of Sinophone literary titles into Vietnamese from the perspectives of paratext, title function, and translation norms. Based on a corpus of 293 pairs of original Chinese titles and Vietnamese titles, including 253 unique source titles and 33 clusters with actual translation variants, the study proposes a multi-layered coding framework to analyze translation methods, local techniques, macro-strategies, target purposes, dominant equivalence, operational norms, and preliminary evaluation. The findings show that literal translation, Sino-Vietnamese rendering, and sense-for-sense translation are the three prominent modes; meanwhile, techniques such as retitling, addition, and omission, although less frequent, play an important role in restructuring the reception frame of the work. The article argues that the translation of literary titles should not be reduced to a linear transfer of meaning, but should instead be regarded as an act of paratextual renaming, in which equivalence, purpose, norms, and reception effects jointly participate in the formation of the work’s name in the target culture.
本文從副文本理論、標題功能理論和翻譯規範理論出發，檢視華語文學標題 譯入越南語的方式。研究以293組漢語原題與越南語譯題為語料，其中包括253個獨立 原題和33組具有實際譯名變體的標題。文章提出一個多層編碼框架，用於分析翻譯方 法、局部技巧、宏觀策略、目的、等值類型、運作規範和初步評估。研究發現，直 譯、漢越音化和意譯是最主要的方法；而改題、增詞和省略雖然數量較少，卻對目標 語讀者的接受框架產生較大影響。本文認為，文學標題翻譯不能簡單視為字詞轉換， 而應理解為一種副文本再命名行為。在這過程中，等值、目的、規範與接受效果共同 決定作品在目標文化中的命名方式。
