楚图南的外国文学译介与翻译家身份建构

The Translation of Foreign Literature by Chu Tunan and His Identity Construction as a Translator

学界对楚图南作为翻译家的重要文化身份未作深入探讨。其实,楚图南是一位具有外国文学译介实践和翻译理论的翻译家。他的翻译实践主要表现为对德国尼采哲学思想、美国惠特曼民主自由思想、俄国文学民主主义精神、古希腊人性自由观念等四类外国文学的译介,译介文本的选择和翻译行为呈现其翻译思想。从其译介活动的勾勒、译介文本选择、翻译思想等视角探讨楚图南的外国文学译介,建构其“译者之心”“智者之思”“师者之情”“学者之范”翻译家的文化身份。

Chu Tunan′s important cultural identity,as a translator,is not academically researched in depth.In fact,Chu is a translator with both the practice of foreign literary translation and the study of translation theories.His translation practice is mainly about four categories of foreign literature,including German Nietzsche′s philosophy,Whitman′s thought of democracy and freedom in the United States,democratic spirit of Russian Literature and the concepts of human freedom in ancient Greece,and his translation thought is represented according to his choices of translation texts.His cultural identity as a translator is constructed with the features of a translator,a wise man,an educator and a scholar,with the discussion of his foreign literary translation from the perspectives such as the outline of the translation activities,the choices of the translation texts and his translation thought.
