分割的权力 各异的翻译——从权力话语的视角看抗战时期的翻译活动

Partitioned Power and Varied Translation: Translation Activities During the Anti-Japanese War from the Perspective of Power Discourse

抗战时期,中国的翻译活动并未停止。而翻译在中国的不同区域,以不同的方式展开,呈现出炯然各异的形态和特点,例如在延安根据地的马列主义著作的翻译,在国统区的文学作品的翻译,沦陷区的日本文学翻译,在抗日战场上的军事翻译等。本文以这一特殊历史时期的翻译活动为研究对象,借用米歇尔.福柯的权力话语理论,分析抗战时期这些形态各异的翻译活动得以产生的原因,揭示出这些翻译活动绝非偶然,而是一定社会历史时期的必然产物,是被条块分割的权力操控之下的必然结果。

Translation activities in China have never been stopped during The Anti-Japanese War. However, they occurred in various parts of China in varied forms with distinguished features, such as the translation of Marxism-Leninism works in Yan＇ an revolutionary base, the rendition of literary works in the Kuomintang-ruled areas, the translation of Japanese litera- ture in the Enemy-occupied Area, and the military interpretation and translation on battlefields. This paper tries to explore, in the light of Michel Foucauh＇ s power discourse theory, the causes that led to the varied forms of translation activities in this particular period of Chinese history. It reaches a conclusion that these varied translation activities are not accidental e- vents, but the inevitable result from the manipulation of partitioned powers in a set time and space.
