摘要
This paper aims to explore the translating theory with the terms in the Dao De Jing such as Dao,De,Being,Non‐being,Yin,Yang,Integrated,Harmony,Form,Spirit,Qi,Emptiness,Tranquility,Inspiration,Sitting Down,and Forgetting.The translating process is to deconstruct Dao in the SL(source language)and the TL(target language).Numerous translation approaches or techniques all can hug their counterparts in the Daoism,revealing the underlying position of the first Chinese philosophy,whose ontology is Dao,following the way of nature,the self‐way.The great Dao is of abstract metaphysical theory,and the I‐being is the self experience and conscientiousness of translators,both of which invite open‐mindedness,selflessness,balance,and ongoing initiative.Being and non‐being are antitheses.Being comes from non‐being,whose revelation is being,De.SL is of being,the translating of which is non‐being.Non‐action proclaims that one’s conduct shall be natural,spontaneous,and balanced.The translating process reflects the harmonies of Yin and Yang in the two versions.Qi,a force or a momentum in the two texts,the flowing thoughts,undergoes with infinitesimal of purposed involvement but effortless job.Your translating product attributes to your nature,and your self‐cultivation of the two languages.
