翻译目的论的理性反思

Rational Reflections on Translation Skopos Theory

翻译目的论强调翻译行为的目的理性,翻译行为的目的决定翻译过程和翻译策略。交往行为理论认为目的理性只是交往行为的一个纬度,翻译目的论在提升译者主体性的同时,将主体间性交往行为"异化"为主客关系的工具目的行为。交往行为理论视角下翻译目的论既有合理性也有其自身无法避免的局限性。

Translation skopos theory puts forward that the purposes of translating activity decide the process of translation, i.e. the result determines the methods. Theory of communicative action thinks purposeful rationality is only one of the levels of communicative action, and translation skopos theory focuses on the subjectivity of translator while changes the communicative action between subjects into purposeful activity between subject and object. From the perspective of theory of communicative action there is rationality as well as unavoidable limitation in translation skopos theory.
