论翻译中的“伪忠实”——从一则“忠实”翻译的不靠谱谈起

On False Faithfulness in Translation

衡量译作不能简单地依照所谓"忠实"原则,因为译者与作者、译者与原文本之间横亘着地域和时空的界限,以及语言和文化的障碍。翻译绝对不是一种纯语言的行为,它深深根植于语言所处的文化之中。译者应根据原语的语言、文化功能,在译入语中做到功能上等值。

In translation,the principles of absolute＂faithfulness＂cannot be taken for granted to access the target text,for there exist divisions in region,time and space and barriers in language and culture.Translation is not merely a language transfer action,but rather,it roots deeply in culture.Translators should seek the prospective equivalency in the target language according to the linguistic and cultural functions of the source language.
