论罗宾逊的“翻译身体学”理论

Douglas Robinson's Somatic View on Translation

道格拉斯·罗宾逊是活跃在译界的一位重要翻译理论研究者,他在其著作《译者登场》中提出了"翻译身体学"这一理论,揭示在翻译过程中普遍存在的身体反应,并将其进一步划分为"个人身体学"和"意识形态身体学"两个方面。罗宾逊的"翻译身体学"理论使翻译成为了一个由身体主宰的动态过程,有力地说明了翻译是译者从事的一种创造性活动。

Douglas Robinson is one of the most active and prominent translation theorists in the field of translation studies. In his famous work ＂The Translator＇s Turn＂, he puts forward a ＂somatic view＂ on translation which illustrates that body＇s reactions prevalently exist in translation process.Moreover, Robinson divides his ＂somatic view＂ into two main parts： ＂idiosomatic view＂ and ＂ideosomatic view＂.His ＂somatic view＂ on translation criticizes the unfair limitations and judgments about translators and provides powerful theoretic evidence for creative translation and translator＇s creativity.
