《新青年》与现代翻译话语的构建

New Youth and the Construction of Modern Translation Discourse

《新青年》杂志的名著翻译工作在从晚清到"五四"中国翻译的演变过程中处于承前启后的地位。在新的社会文化语境下,为了对民众进行思想启蒙,《新青年》开始自觉地改变晚清翻译模式,实现了中国翻译从传统向现代的转型。从三个方面论述了《新青年》对中国现代翻译话语的构建:在翻译语言上从文言文转变为白话文,大力推动了白话文运动;在翻译选材上确立了名著意识,提倡翻译名家名著,提升了译作的档次;在翻译标准上改变了晚清不忠实原著的翻译风尚,重构了"信"的原则,倡导直译的翻译方法。
