译者的“非隐形”及其自我建构机制

Translators' Non-invisibility and Its Self-construction Mechanism

翻译促进文化发展,推动社会进步。但作为翻译活动主体的译者却长期被忽视,甚至被视为"隐形者"。翻译研究的文化转向使译者地位得到一定提高,开启了学界对译者主体性全方位、多层次的研讨。译者的"非隐形"与译者的"隐形"相对立。"非隐形",即译者在翻译过程中主体意识的发挥,它贯穿翻译活动的准备、翻译过程本身和反思阶段。译者"非隐形"可通过提高双语敏感度、构筑文化先结构、增强环境适应性等途径建构。此文探讨译者"非隐形"及其自我建构机制,以期推动对译者主体地位的深入探索,并增强译者在翻译活动中的主体意识。

Translation promotes cultural development and social progress. As the main body of translation activities,translators have been neglected or even considered as"invisible"for a long time. The"cultural turn"in translation studies has improved the status of translators and opened up academic research on translators' subjectivity in an all-round and multi-level manner. The translators' "noninvisibility"is opposite to the translators' "invisibility",that means,translators' subjective awareness in the process of translation. It permeates the stages of preparation,translation and reflection in translation activities. The translators' "non-invisibility"can be constructed by improving the sensitivity of bilingualism,constructing cultural schema and cognitive model,and enhancing environmental adaptability. This paper analyzes the"translators' non-invisibility"and its self-construction mechanism,in order to promote the further exploration of translator subjectivity study.
