合作翻译的存在与表现--以《浮生六记》三译本为例

The presence and practice of co-translation——A case study of three English versions of Fu Sheng Liu Ji

译者间的"合作翻译"是相对于独立翻译而言的一个术语,指两位及两位以上的译者合作将一个国家及其文化的若干相关内容对外翻译成目的语,向目的语国家进行的一项传播活动,如杨宪益与戴乃迭、理雅各与王韬的合译活动。本文首先回顾与分析合译存在的历史事实,从而肯定合译存在的合理性及必要性。在此基础上,笔者以《浮生六记》三个英译本为例,探讨合译与独译的异同,以此强调合译在理论与实践中所具有的双重探索意义。

Co-translation is a term,which is different from independent translation.It refers to a cooperative,collaborative,or joint rendering of a text into a foreign language by two or more translators,such as the co-translation activities of Yang Hsien-yi and Gladys Yang,and James Legge and Wang Tao.This paper first reviews and analyzes the presence of co-translation to confirm the rationality and necessity of its presence.It then delves into the similarities and differences between co-translation and independent translation with a case study of three English versions of Fu Sheng Liu Ji in order to underline the theoretical and practical values of the co-translation.
