直译与意译之争背后的理论问题——从本质主义哲学转向介入主义哲学对译学的影响

Theories Behind the Controversy Between Metaphrase and Paraphrase:Influence of Transformation from Essentialism to Interventionism upon Translation Studies

本文通过分析直译与意译之争背后所蕴涵的形式与内容的关系,考察了本质主义哲学转向介入主义哲学对翻译研究的深刻影响,发现传统上重视原文内容而轻视形式的译学观念是本质主义哲学的思想产物,而在介入主义哲学转向之后,形式与内容的关系上出现了向形式方面的回转,因此,关注形式的直译法应当成为主要的方法。

With an analysis on the relationship between form and content revealed by the controversy between metaphrase and paraphrase, the author argues that the shift from essentialism to interventionism in philosophy has an impact on translation stud- ies. This paper holds that the traditional priority of content over form of the original in translation is the product of essentialism. With the rise of interventionism, form takes the precedence, and accordingly the metaphrase should be preferred to paraphrase.
