论译者译事中的关系和地位:新翻译权力论视角下的阐释

A Study of Translator's Relationship with Other Involved Parties and His(Her)Status in Translation from the Perspective of New Theory of Translation Power

本文从新翻译权力论视角审视译者与其他涉译方的关系及其在翻译中的地位,探讨了译者与其他涉译方的四种关系,即主导与被主导的关系、互有主导的关系、对抗的关系和服从-命令的关系;指出了译者的三种地位,即(1)从文本选择到译作出版全程主导者的地位;(2)从文本选择到译作出版过程中部分阶段主导者的地位;(3)在遣词造句方面有低限度的主导者地位。本文认为,这样的研究有助于我们更全面清楚地认识译者与其他涉译方的关系以及其在翻译中的真正地位、译者在跨文化交流中发挥的作用等方面的问题。

Making a study of translator’s relationship with other involved parties and his(her)status in translation from the perspective of new theory of translation power,this paper discusses four kinds of the relationship,which are the relationship dominated by translator,the relationship dominated by translator and other involved parties(or subjects of translation power)in different stages of the translation process,the relationship of opposition and the relationship of order-giver and order-taker,and concludes that there are three kinds of status for a translator,which are the status as a dominator in the process of selection of texts to be translated to the publication of translated texts,the status as a dominator in a certain stage in the process of translation and the status of an operator who has limited power in the linguistic operation.It is believed that the study can help us have a more thorough and clearer understanding of the relationship and the translator’s real status,the role that he or she plays in cross-cultural communication and other issues related with translator’s status.
