《掌中》是新加坡著名掌中木偶剧团“十指帮”的代表作之一，以其独特的跨媒介、跨领域、创新融合传统与现代木偶戏的特点而闻名。《掌中》呈现了两条故事线：一条描绘了从1920年代至近代中国社会的木偶剧团领导的生活；另一条则讲述了孙悟空在《西游记》情境里的冒险。这两条故事线交织在一起，展示了剧团领导和孙悟空以坚定不移的态度守护剧团和家园的故事。 掌中木偶戏在新加坡具有悠久而丰富的历史，在文化传承中一直扮演着非常重要的角色。2011年，十指帮借助《掌中》向大众介绍了掌中木偶戏的发展史，推广了木偶文化，并取得了巨大成功。本研究运用本土化翻译概念和奈达的功能对等理论，对《掌中》的剧本和网络资源翻译及其使用策略进行分析。本文将就翻译实例，指出其中出现的翻译问题，探讨翻译如何在跨文化传播中成为语言和文化交流的桥梁，对木偶戏在新加坡的传承产生影响，以及在传承和推广传统艺术方面所具有的作用及面临的挑战。 "Turn By Turn We Turn" stands as a flagship production of the renowned Singaporean hand puppetry ensemble, "The Finger Players", celebrated for its pioneering blend of traditional and contemporary puppetry across various media and disciplines. The play intricately weaves two narratives: one delving into the life of a hand puppet troupe leader in China from the 1920s to present-day, while the other follows the exploits of Sun Wukong within the iconic "Journey to the West". These storylines converge, illustrating the unwavering dedication of both the troupe leader and Sun Wukong in safeguarding their troupe and home. Hand puppetry holds a venerable and esteemed position in Singapore's cultural heritage, with a legacy deeply rooted in its societal fabric. In 2011, "The Finger Players" introduced the historical backdrop of hand puppetry to the public through "Turn By Turn We Turn", championing puppetry culture and attaining significant acclaim. By employing the principles of localized translation and Eugene A. Nida's theory of functional equivalence, this study conducts an in-depth analysis of the translation process for the script and digital resources of the play. It identifies translation challenges and discrepancies, explores how translation can serve as a conduit for linguistic and cultural exchange in cross-cultural communication, and discusses its impact on the cultural inheritance of puppet shows in Singapore, as well as the roles and hurdles faced in the preservation and promotion of traditional arts.
