Bu çalışmada, F. Scott Fitzgerald’ın The Great Gatsby adlı romanının Can Yücel tarafından Türkçe’ye çevirisi -Muhteşem Gatsby - genelde Yorumlayıcı Kuram, özelde ise Jean Delisle’nin çeviri prosedürleri (Genişletme ve Ekonomi) ışığında incelenmiştir. Romanın çevirisinde çevirmen, orijinal metinde kullanılan sözcük ve ifadelerden sıyrılarak mesajın ‘anlamını’ bilişsel olarak kavradıktan sonra kaynak metni hedef kültürün söylemi çerçevesinde yeniden biçimlendirmeye dayalı bir strateji uygulamıştır. Can Yücel sadece dilsel düzeyde eşdeğerleri bulmaya yönelik bir çeviri tarzı benimsemek yerine, sahip olduğu dil içi ve dil dışı bilgi birikimini kaynak metinde verilen mesajın altında yatan ‘açık’ ve ‘kapalı’ anlamı ortaya çıkarmak için kullanmış ve daha sonra bu duyguyu hedef dilin söylemiyle yeniden oluşturmuştur. Bu strateji, kaynak metindeki ifadelere karşılık olarak erek dilde bire bir sözcük ve kelime öbekleri bulmaya çalışmak yerine, çeviride metinsel ve bağlamsal anlamda eşdeğerlikler kurmaya dayanır. Bu düşünceler ışığında, makalede, Yorumlayıcı Kuramın temel ilkelerini yansıtan özellikler taşıdığı görülen Can Yücel çevirisinde kullanılan stratejileri ortaya koymak amacıyla erek metinden seçilen örnekler incelenmiştir. Bu çerçevede, Delisle’nin çeviri prosedürlerinin erek metne uygulanması suretiyle yapılan analizler, söz konusu prosedürler ile çevirmen tarafından uygulanan stratejilerin örtüştüğünü göstermiştir.

This study is concerned with an analysis of Can Yücel’s translation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s novel The Great Gatsby into Turkish -Muhteşem Gatsby- in the light of the Interpretive Theory at large and Jean Delisle’s translation procedures (Expansion and Economy) in particular. In his rendering of the novel, the translator adopted a strategy based on conceptualizing the ‘sense’ behind the source-text message through the process of deverbalization, and then reformulating that message by using a language that sounds quite familiar to the target reader. Instead of establishing equivalences merely at linguistic level, the translator used his linguistic and extra-linguistic knowledge to extract the explicit and implicit sense behind the source-text message, and then re-expressing that sense through the discourse of the receptor culture. This is a strategy intended to achieve textual and contextual equivalences rather than finding out correspondences at lexical and phrasal level. Based on these considerations, in this article, exemplary extracts selected from the target text were analyzed with a view to showing that the strategies employed in the rendering of the novel involve features that reflect the basic tenets of the Interpretive Theory. Within this framework, an attempt was made to illustrate that these strategies lend themselves well to the application of Delisle’s translation procedures, yielding results that confirm their relevance to the analysis of Can Yücel’s translation of the novel.
