安乐哲和罗思文《论语》英译本得失探析

A Study of“Gain”and“Loss”in The Analects of Confucius:A Philosophical Translation

美国汉学家安乐哲和罗思文合作翻译的《论语》题名为《论语的哲学诠释》(The Analects of Confucius:A Philosophical Translation),该英译本以哲学视角阐释了孔子和儒家思想,通过副文本、翻译建构等策略试图保留《论语》的异质文化特点,体现孔子思想的哲学特点,使西方读者更清晰地认识孔子乃至儒家的思想,与此前《论语》译本有很大不同。本文通过分析安、罗《论语》译本的“得”与“失”,旨在深入了解两位译者的哲学思想和翻译立场,从中汲取中国典籍对外译介的宝贵启示。
