翻译标准研究新视角:“善译”伦理阐释

New Perspective of Translation Criteria Study:An Ethical Explanation of“Shan Yi”

翻译标准是翻译理论的核心问题之一,传统研究聚焦其规范性,但这并非其全部属性,翻译标准也有描述性的一面。从伦理视角考查翻译标准,正是规范与描写相结合的一种尝试。中国传统哲学思想中,"善"既有对本体的规范属性,也含主体的描述属性,正与翻译标准的伦理属性对应。本文借马建忠之"善译"说,以"善"之伦理思想观为中心,探讨翻译标准问题,从"本体"、"主体"、和"客体"三个维度探讨了"善译"翻译标准之伦理关系。

Translation Criteria is a key issue in translation theories.Traditional research focused on the prescriptive element of criteria.However,criteria shows its descriptive side.Discussing the issue from ethics perspective is an attempt to combine its prescriptivity and descriptivity.Ma Jianzhong put forward the idea of“Shan Yi”in the late Qing dynasty.In traditional Chinese philosophical thoughts,“Shan”reveals both the ontological prescriptive nature of the being and the descriptive nature of the subject,corresponding to the ethical nature of translation criteria.This article adopts the traditional concept of goodness to address the ethics of“Shan Yi”in translation criteria.And its ethical relations are also revealed from three dimensions,i.e.the ontological,subjective and objective sides.
