文章翻译学的名与实

Name and Nature of Compositional Translatology

文章翻译学植根于中国传统的文章学,以做文章的态度对待翻译,强调为人先于为译,不区分文学与非文学翻译,主张一切翻译都要在完整传达意义的基础上进行文字加工。这一理论首先可用于中国典籍的外译,也可施之于美文中译和一般翻译。

Based on compositology of traditional China,compositional translatology proposes a compositional attitude towards translation,emphasizes on translator’s sincerity before he starts his work.It does not distinguish literal from non-literal translation and holds that all translation needs a careful post process of text to suit the compositional requirement of target language.The theory may be applied to the translation of Chinese classics into other languages,and other kinds of translations as well.
