汉学家涉医文学翻译对中医药文化海外传播启示

Enlightenment from Sinologist's Translation of Medicine-Related Literature for Overseas Dissemination of Traditional Chinese Medicine Culture

以《红楼梦》为代表的涉医文学作品是中医文化海外传播的重要体裁之一。译者在翻译过程中居于核心地位,是不同文化的调停者。大卫·霍克斯的多重文化身份使其更关注异质文化在西方语境中的意义建构,但也会影响文化传真。对于中医文化海外传播而言,译者多元文化身份的融合或多元文化背景的译者协作有助于更开放包容地调和涉医文本在翻译过程中异域化和本土化的对立,创生出适于跨文化传播的“杂合”文本,提升中医药文化海外输出效能。

The medicine-related literature represented by The Story of the Stone is one of the important genres for the overseas dissemination of traditional Chinese medicine(TCM)culture.In the process of translation,the translator occupies a central position and is a mediator of different cultures.The multiple cultural identities of David Hawks make him more concerned with the construction of the meaning of heterogeneous culture in Western contexts,which might influence the facsimile of culture.For the overseas dissemination of TCM culture,the integration of translators multicultural identities or the collaboration of translators from multicultural backgrounds can contribute to a reconciliation between foreignization and domestication in the translation process of medicine-related text more openly and inclusively,and create a“hybrid”text suitable for intercultural communication,enhancing the influence of TCM cultural exports.
