韦努蒂的foreignization与鲁迅的“保存洋气”不是一回事

韦努蒂的foreignization翻译策略意义为"洋化"、"外域化"被译成"异化",汉语译名名不副实;作为翻译策略的英语foreignization(汉语"洋化"、"外域化")也名不副实。鲁迅提出"归化"和"保持洋气"两个翻译策略名副其实。"归化"翻译是把外文"归化"为本国文;"保持洋气"是将本国文中没有的、而洋文有的意义和风格即洋气,保持在"归化"译文的基础上,如将believe in God不译成"皈依佛门"而译成"信奉上帝"是保持意义上的洋气,把"I"ll wait until he comes."译成"我将等待直到他来"是保持风格上的洋气。韦努蒂的foreignization被误译成"异化"(正确译名是"洋化")被当作翻译术语违背学理。翻译是把洋文转化成本族语言是"归化","洋化"是要是使译文洋化。要使译文洋化,就最好保持洋文不变,可是保持洋文不变等于没有翻译,也没有使本族语洋化,所以foreignization("洋化")不是翻译。把kill two birds with one stone翻译成"一石二鸟"而不译成"一箭双雕"是"保持洋气",不是洋化。翻译界不应该用foreignization("异化",正确译名是"洋化")淹没鲁迅的"保持洋气"。
