用提示词引导大模型翻译非洲诗歌,发现其文化专有项翻译效果不佳。

Prompt-oriented Output of Culture-Specific Items in Translated African Poetry by Large Language Model: An Initial Multi-layered Tabular Review

  • 通过三类提示词测试大模型对非洲诗歌的文化项翻译能力。
  • 大模型在54个文化项中重复输出41项,远高于人类译者(33项)。
  • 结果揭示大模型在跨文化翻译中存在一致性问题,适合研究者参考。

本文研究Chat Generative PreTrained Transformer Pro在三种结构化提示下对三部非洲诗集的翻译表现。第一种提示较宽泛,第二种聚焦诗歌结构,第三种强调文化特异性。为此构建四张对比表格:第一张展示三类提示下的文化项产出;第二张依据Aixela框架对文化项进行专有名词与通用表达分类;第三张汇总人类译者、自定义翻译引擎与大模型的输出结果;第四张总结大模型在文化导向提示下的策略。相比先前研究中的人类译本与自定义引擎,本研究发现,在英语到法语的非洲诗歌翻译中,使用文化导向提示并未显著提升大模型的文化项表现。在54个文化项中,人类译者重复输出33项,自定义引擎输出38项,而大模型重复输出41项。未翻译的文化项显示大模型在处理非洲诗歌文化项时存在不一致问题。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper examines the output of cultural items generated by Chat Generative PreTrained Transformer Pro in response to three structured prompts to translate three anthologies of African poetry. The first prompt was broad, the second focused on poetic structure, and the third prompt emphasized cultural specificity. To support this analysis, four comparative tables were created. The first table presents the results of the cultural items produced after the three prompts, the second categorizes these outputs based on Aixela framework of Proper nouns and Common expressions, the third table summarizes the cultural items generated by human translators, a custom translation engine, and a Large Language Model. The final table outlines the strategies employed by Chat Generative PreTrained Transformer Pro following the culture specific prompt. Compared to the outputs of cultural items from reference human translation and the custom translation engine in prior studies the findings indicate that the culture oriented prompts used with Chat Generative PreTrained Transformer Pro did not yield significant enhancements of cultural items during the translation of African poetry from English to French. Among the fifty four cultural items, the human translation produced thirty three cultural items in repetition, the custom translation engine generated Thirty eight cultural items in repetition while Chat Generative PreTrained Transformer Pro produced forty one cultural items in repetition. The untranslated cultural items revealed inconsistencies in Large language models approach to translating cultural items in African poetry from English to French.
