重识传统译论:方法与路径——再评《严复变译思想考》

Traditional Chinese Translation Theories Revisited: Methodology and Approach——A Critical Review of Studies on Yanfu's Translation Variations

继承和发展传统译论是中国译学理论建设的目标之一,本文以《严复变译思想考》从方法论角度探究重识传统译论的途径,提出细读原典文本、变通应用现代译学研究工具、对比印证译家所言所为是三大方法。而厘清思想与理论关系,重释核心术语,重构范畴体系是传统译论返本开新的重要路径。

Inheriting and developing traditional translation theories is one of the paramount objectives of Chinese translation studies. This paper explores the ways of re-recognizing traditional translation theories,such as reading the original texts intensively,applying modern translation study tools with flexibility,and comparing translators’ comments and practice. In order to clarify the relationship between thoughts and theories,reinterpreting core terminology and reconstructing the system of category is an important path for the traditional translation theory to be renewed.
