动态等值理论的顺应论解读

Understanding Dynamic Equivalence from the Perspective of Adaptation Theory

奈达的动态等值理论曾被奉为翻译理论权威,后又被否定。本文尝试从顺应论的角度重新解读动态等值理论,重新肯定动态等值理论的价值。顺应论与动态等值有很多相同之处:两种理论的研究对象都是实际使用中的语言,且都认为语言的使用是灵活的,可以基于语境进行选择;翻译是一种交际活动,翻译的目的是满足交际的需要,在翻译过程中要考虑译语读者的接受能力,通过灵活选择译语,使译文读者获得与原文读者相同的理解和感受。

Nida＇ s dynamic equivalence theory （DET） was once regarded as an authoritative theory, but was later disproved. This pa- per attempts to unscramble DET from the perspective of adaptation theory so as to reconfirm the value of DET. The two theories have many things in common. Both make the actual use of the language as their object of study, hold that the use of language is flexible, and the language selected is based on the context. Translation as a communicative activity must satisfy the needs for communication. Therefore, by selecting the language in a dynamic manner, the translator will make sure that the original text can be so transported into the receptor language that the response of the receptor is like that of the original receptor.
