编辑出版家林语堂的编译行为研究

Lin Yutang as an Editor-cum-Translator

作为学者、作家和翻译家的林语堂为世人所瞩目,但人们往往忽视了他作为著名编辑和出版家的文化身份,而这恰恰是贯穿林语堂整个生命活动的主线。本文从林语堂的编辑出版家的文化身份出发,考察其英文著译作品中的编译现象,从编辑出版的角度解读其编译行为存在的合法性,从而揭示林语堂编译行为与编辑身份之间的关系,诠释其编译行为的内在动因与外部理据,进而阐明林语堂一系列编译作品存在的合理性与必然性。

While Lin Yutang’s identity as a scholar, writer and translator has been popularly acknowledged, his life-long occupation as an editor/publisher and how this had affected his translation have been largely neglected even by translation scholars. This paper undertakes to explore the way Lin Yutang’s professional interests in editing and translating tended to interact and integrate in the kind of adaptive translations he is known for producing.
