敦煌文化术语翻译标准化:内涵与创新实践

Standardization of Dunhuang Culture Terminology Translation:Definition and Novel Practice Approaches

敦煌文化术语在跨语言文化实践中存在诸多问题,主要原因之一是对敦煌文化术语翻译标准化的探索不足。文章对敦煌文化术语翻译标准化进行探究,首先分析它在敦煌文化自觉、自信及自塑方面和敦煌文化话语传播方面的必要性。接着,通过探讨敦煌文化术语翻译标准化的差异性,指出它应关照的三方面问题:“兼顾术语翻译过程与结果”“尊重术语类别差异”“呼应术语翻译服务性”,并在此基础上界定其内涵。最后,提出敦煌文化术语翻译标准化的创新实践:“因类制宜”的过程标准化与“因势制宜”的结果标准化。

Numerous issues exist in the cross-language and cross-culture practice of Dunhuang culture terms,which is mainly due to the insufficient research on its translation standardization.This paper probes into the standardization of Dunhuang culture terminology translation.Firstly,we analyze the necessity in the self-consciousness,self-confidence and self-mould of Dunhuang culture as well as the dissemination of Dunhuang culture discourse.Then,by discussing its differences,we point out that it should take into consideration three aspects:coordination of processes and products of terminology translation,category distinctions of terms and service attributes of terminology translation.Finally,we put forward the novel practice approaches to its translation standardization:category-oriented process standardization and circumstance-based product standardization.
