翻译——帝国统治的共谋

Translation——the Conspiracy of Empire

与传统的翻译研究不同,后殖民主义的翻译研究重视语言之间的不平等地位,认为翻译不是一种单纯的个人行为,翻译的过程受到双方语言政治文化等诸多因素的影响。全文从后殖民的角度探讨翻译的产生和发展与帝国的需要、政治权力斗争之间的关系,从而揭示翻译在帝国统治下所扮演的角色。

Different from traditional translation studies, postcolonial translation studies attach importance to the unequal position of different languages, and hold that translation process is not an individual activity, which is greatly influenced by many factors such as politics and culture etc. In the perspective of post-colonialism, the author tends to explore the relation between translation and empire, and to figure out the role translation has played in political power struggles.
