试论文学翻译中的译者心理偏差

The Psychological Deviation Involved in Translation

翻译所涉及的心理活动是错综复杂的,它既包含有意识的,也牵涉无意识隐性的。就有意识方面而言,译者往往会受到外部因素(出版商、原作者、译文读者)的影响和内部因素(如翻译注意力)的制约;但从潜意识上看,这种影响和制约作用则显得较模糊。本文从文学翻译角度探讨了译者潜意识因素对于译文忠实性所造成的负面影响,并进而探讨了译者在译文表达上某些偏差成因。

Translation involves complicated psychological activities, both conscious and sub-conscious. As regards the former, a translator is very often under the influences and the restraints of the external factors (the publisher, the original author, the TL-reader, etc.) and the internal factors (translators?individual interests, experiences etc.); however, for sub-consciousness, these influences and restraints play a vague role in translation process. This paper, from the perspective of literary translation, explores the negative effects of translators?sub-conscious factors on the faithfulness of the translated text, and further explores some deep reasons of translators?biased errors made in translation.
