Abstract

In this study, we suggest that Copying Theory suggested by Pym could be effective in translating games. Languages used in games are based on English because of the history of games mainly developed in America. When people are playing games, people pursue effective communication. Because of this, they transform translated words into simple forms or original foreign languages to communicate each other for effective communication, The usage of English in game translation and communication support the idea that Copying strategy could be effective in translating games.

본 연구는 Pym이 제시한 모방 이론(Copying Theory)이 게임을 번역하는 데에 효과적인 전략임을 제시하고자 한다. 게임에서 사용되는 언어는 대부분이 영어인데 이는 게임이 주로 미국을 중심으로 발전되어 왔기 때문이다. 사람들은 게임을 하며 효율적인 의사소통을 추구하며 때문에 그들은 번역된 단어들을 간단하게 축약시키거나 원어를 그대로 발음되는 대로 사용하며 이는 의사소통에 있어서 효과적인 전략으로 작동하고 있다. 이러한 양상을 통해 게임을 번역하는 데에 있어서 외래어를 그대로 사용하는 것이 번역가의 선택 가능한 효과적인 전략 중 하나임을 알 수 있다.
