跨语境的他述:论《浮生六记》英译者格雷厄姆·桑德斯的阐释学翻译观

Cross-contextual Narrative:On Graham Sanders’Hermeneutic Translation Theory in Translating Six Records of A Life Adrift

理解即翻译,而真正的理解是做出符合原作内涵和外延的创造性的新阐释。从乔治·斯坦纳的阐释学翻译观出发,对加拿大学者格雷厄姆·桑德斯英译中国古典文学《浮生六记》的“阐释运作”过程进行分析,发现桑德斯在翻译过程中遵循着信任、侵入、吸收和补偿的阐释学翻译观,最大限度地再现了原作的内涵和外延意义。

Understanding is translation,and the real understanding is to make creative explanations that conform to the connotation and denotation of the original work.Based on George Steiner’s hermeneutic translation theory,this paper makes an analysis on the process of“hermeneutic operation”of Canadian scholar Graham Sanders in translating Chinese classical literary work Six Records of A Life Adrift into English,finding that Sanders follows the hermeneutic translation theory,namely,trust,aggression,incorporation and reciprocity in his process of translation,and thus maximizing the connotation and denotation of the original work.
