奥古斯丁翻译思想溯源

Study on the Development of Augustine’s Translation Thoughts

在西方早期译论探讨中,古罗马神学家圣?奥古斯丁被认为是“字对字”翻译的推崇者。但是,这种固化的概念也意味着对奥古斯丁思想初衷的忽略和对其思想背后的历史语境、学术基础的失察。受翻译发生学的启发,本文将探究奥古斯丁“字对字”翻译思想背后的宗教信仰渊源和学术基础渊源,并探究奥古斯丁对后世语言学科的影响。

According to discussions on the early western translation thoughts, Augustine, the great theologist of ancient Rome was regarded as one of the supporters for “word for word” translation. However, such rigid assumption does not take the historical context and academic foundation of Augustine’s translation thoughts into consideration. Inspired by genetic translatology, this paper focuses on the historical and academic context of Augustine’s translation thoughts and attempts to shed some light on Augustine’s influence on the development of linguistics.
