Theoretical Constructions of and Reflections on Eco-translatology:An Interview with Douglas Robinson

本文记录了对著名翻译理论家罗德恪教授的专访。在访谈中,罗教授以中国哲学家孟子的"四端"思想为基础,提出了自己对生态翻译学的最新思考。此外,他还对中国文化走出去发表了自己的看法。罗教授认为,将中文作品翻译出去十分重要,但不能忽视读者接受问题。付出终将有所回报,但是有一定的时滞,翻译作品并不能马上转换成文化软实力。最后,他还对未来十年的翻译研究进行了展望,认为学界仍将关注翻译社会学转向,尤其是有关社区、法庭或网络译者之翻译活动的实证研究。
