文化意识与译者中间物本质——也论鲁迅“宁信而不顺”的翻译原则

Cultural Consciousness and Translator's In-Betweenness——An Analysis of Lu Xun's Translation Idea "To Be Faithful at the Cost of Fluency"

鲁迅的"宁信而不顺"的翻译主张不仅仅是其翻译原则,更是其文化意识的一个表现。具体而言,是其文化自省意识的产物,及其拿来主义文化策略的体现。其中所蕴含的对译者中间物本质的理解源于他的中间物意识,深刻地揭示了翻译活动中译者的主体性价值。

Lu Xun＇s translation idea ＂to be faithful at the cost of fluency＂ has caused much debate in translation studies. Actually this idea is the product of Lu Xun＇s cultural consciousness. Namely, it comes from Lu Xun＇s reflection and criticism of Chinese culture, and presents his strategic principles for cultural selection. Implied in it is Lu Xun＇s understanding of translator＇s ＂in-betweenness＂ originating from his ＂inbetween＂ consciousness, which illustrates the subjective value of the translator in the process of translation.
