论从翻译的主体性到主体间性

Research on Translation Studies from Subjectivity to Intersubjectivity

翻译的主体间性问题越来越成为翻译研究关注的热点之一。本文以主体性向主体间性转向为理论基础,以《亲历历史:希拉里回忆录》中译本为例,着重探讨在翻译的主体间性问题中,原作作者-译者-赞助人-读者等主体之间平等对话的必要性和可能性。成功的翻译应该充分实现主体间性,即通过翻译各主体之间的沟通,做到最大效度的理解、同情和思想的契合,从而走出片面强调翻译主体性带来的困境。

Recent research in translation studies has seen a greater emphasis on intersubjectivity. Based on the shift from subjectivity to intersubjectivity in philosophy, this paper has probed into the interrelationship between all subjects involving in translation by analyzing the samples taken from the Chinese version of Living History by Hilary Clinton. It proves that it is both necessary and feasible to maintain an interactive dialogue among all subjects on an equal footing, namely, all subjects including the writer, translators, sponsors and readers should try to achieve a sufficient understanding in order to be free of the plight brought by too much emphasis on the subjectivity of translation.
