浅析导致译文与原文之间差异的因素——以本雅明与后殖民主义翻译理论为指导

Research on the Aspects that Influence the Differences Between Translation and the Original Text——Based on the Translation Theory of Benjamin and Post-Colonialism

该文基于本雅明的翻译理论及后殖民主义翻译理论,大致讨论了导致译文与原文之间存在差异的两大主要因素,并分别从文化层面及译者方面入手,佐以例子来解释和支撑笔者的论点,并得出文化差异及译者对原文的理解与阐释是导致译文与原文之间存在差异的两大重要原因。最后,笔者提出了进一步的问题讨论,如果译文能够在最大程度上与原文保持一致,那么会造成什么样的后续影响?文化霸权主义或许会被考虑在内,而殖民国家与被殖民国家之间的联系也会重新被讨论和定义。进一步来讲,对被殖民国家而言,文化主权的缺失也是需要探讨和研究的重要层面。
