论关联理论对翻译的语用阐释

On the Pragmatic Interpretation of Translation in the Perspective of Relevance Theory

语用学中的关联理论可以为跨语言、跨文化的翻译研究提供科学的语用学分析方法。关联理论认为人类语言交际是一个通过寻找关联进行明示——推理的过程,翻译活动是一项涉及原作者-译者-译文读者的双重交际。关联理论从认知的角度出发,对交际做了新的诠释,合理地解释了翻译过程和翻译策略。

Relevance theory,a powerful theory in pragmatics,provides a pragmatic perspective for translation studies,communication across language and culture.Relevance theory holds that language communication of human beings is an ostensive-inferential process of searching for relevance and that translation involves a dual process of communication between the source text（ST） writer,the translator and the target text（TT） readers.Based on the cognitive point of view,the relevance theory brings forth a new understanding of the communication process and gives a reasonable account of the translation process and the translation strategies involved.
