文本、主体与翻译

Text, Subject and Translation

翻译活动不仅是双语间的一种形式转换，更重要的它是一种思想和文化的交流。对翻译的客体／文本进 行语言学、符号学上客观、充分的描述和阐释是必要的，因为语言确实是用于人类交际的一种符号系统， 但是．我们也应当看到翻译活动自始至终必须要通过译者主体意识的作用才能得以完成。本文试图从哲 学和文化学的角度．研究译者主体意识对翻译活动的影响，提出译学研究应当把科学方法与人文精神有 机结合起来．才能给人予更深刻的启迪。

Translation is not just a transfer of codes between two languages, but more importantly, it is an exchange of ideas and culture. It is necessary to give full and adequate linguistic and semiotic descriptions and explanations of the object of translation, i. e., text, for language is truly 'an arbitrary, oral system of signs used for human communication'. However, we should also notice that translation involves, from the very beginning to the end, the translator's subjective reactions to the text. The paper attempts to probe, from the philosophical and cultural perspectives, into the impact of the translator's subjective inclination upon the translation activities, and expresses the view that translation studies should incorporate scientific methods with humanistic spirit. Only in this way can they offer us insights.
