翻译语境的关联理论视阈

The Context in Translation from the Perspective of Relevance Theory

基于Sperber和Wilson的关联理论框架,Gutt把翻译定义为语言交际是明示——推理行为,翻译是一种涉及大脑机制的交际行为,是一种寻求最佳关联的认知——推理活动。因此,译者应准确推测作者原意,推理读者的认知语境,采用最佳的翻译方法,给出最佳的关联译文。

Based on Sperber and Wilson＇s Relevance Theory,Gutt defined translation as a language communication being ostensive-inferential behavior.Translation is a kind of brain mechanisms involved in the communicative act,which is cognitive search for optimal relevance-reasoning activities.Therefore,the translator should accurately speculate authors＇ intention,reason readers＇ cognitive context and achieve the best communicative effect.
