信、达、雅与中庸之道

True,Smooth,Tasteful"and the Golden Mean

严复提出“信达雅”翻译理论的目的是为其翻译找根据 ,寻基础 ,是为了让国人更容易接受他的译文。鲁迅坚持“忠实”、“通顺”的翻译标准 ,大呼“拿来主义” ,其目的在于把外来思想和表达方式“据为己有” ,使之成为中国文化的一部分。实质上 ,鲁迅的翻译理论承接了严复的翻译思想 ,他们二人的翻译观点始终由“和”

Yan Fu puts forward his'true,smooth and tasteful'translation theory in order to find classic basis and reliance for his translation and make his translation more acceptable. Lu Xun presents his'true and smooth'translation criterions and calls for'take-it-as-it-is'.His purpose is to accept and own foreign ideas and foreign expressions and to turn them into Chinese culture eventually.In fact,Lu Xun follows Yan Fu in that their seemingly different translation thoughts are linked together by the same golden mean of the confucian doctrine
