中国近现代西方经济文献汉译策略研究

On the E-C Translation Strategy of Economic Literature in Modern China

经济文献是见证国家经济发展的重要记录。本研究通过回顾中国近现代清末(1840～1894),清末民初(1894～1919)和中华民国(1919～1949)这三个时期不同的社会文化语境,着重分析各个阶段最具代表性的经济文献译介和译家活动,客观、全面地展示不同时期西方经济文献汉译活动的情况。此外,通过对《富国策》、《原富》和《资本论》等代表性经济学译著的文献调查和文本分析,发现特殊时代下的译者求助于各种手段,普遍采用删减、省译、文言意译、夹译夹议、添加按语等"归化"翻译策略,以期达到振兴中华之目的。
