The Construction of a New Translation Ethics from the Perspective of Chinese Philosophy

As a cross-linguistic,cross-cultural,and cross-social activity,translation is affected by cultural moralities.Since the ethical standard of faithfulness has been abandoned by theories of cultural criticism and the power of translators’manipulation has been constantly exaggerated,the study of translation ethics is an effective remedy for a current dilemma in translation studies.It is a common phenomenon for some translators to erase the linguistic and cultural differences of Chinese literature by catering to target readers’reception.Social ethics is the foundation of a nation’s translation ethics,which means that thoughts from the Western world may not be suitable for the current situation in China.Learning from concepts of Chinese philosophy including harmony in diversity,seeking common ground while reserving differences,and honesty to formulate a new translation ethics will surely restrain translators’subjectivity within appropriate limits and develop world culture in more harmonious fashion.

论罗宾逊“翻译的躯体学”

翻译研究经历了由"文本独白"到"译者独白"再到目前"文化独白"的转向。译者虽然由原语文化可以自由穿透的玻璃球变成了译语文化可以自由穿越的玻璃球,但译者认知过程中的个体体验在翻译研究中依然缺席,译者依然仅仅是一个没有躯体体验的主体。美国译论家罗宾逊把翻译中既是载体又是感性存在的译者"躯体"引入翻译研究中,不仅为较为空泛、抽象的译者主体提供了实质性的基础,也为后现代语境下颠覆原文同一性的行为找到草根性的发轫点。

翻译的动态性探析

20世纪末以来,越来越多的翻译理论家和实践者不再把翻译看作是从一种语言到另一种语言的忠实转换,因为它漠视翻译的动机和社会功用。他们试图纠正传统翻译研究和实践所存在的误区。他们不仅关注翻译的内部研究,即从文本到文本的转换过程,还关注翻译的外部研究,强调对翻译进行动态研究,比如意识形态、文化、历史和权力等对翻译活动的影响,为翻译研究提供了宏观视角,将翻译研究置于更广阔的天地。本文正是围绕这一主题,从翻译在文化建构中的重大作用、翻译背后的权力因素及译者的主体性三个方面来探讨分析,希望对翻译活动做出进一步的解释。

从《离骚》英译看杨宪益早期翻译伦理观

杨宪益在翻译、外国文学研究及文化传播方面成就卓著,但其翻译思想却很少受到全面系统的研究,尤其是其早期翻译活动和翻译观受关注甚少。杨宪益早期的中国文学翻译活动以"玩译"《离骚》开端,表面看来其译文与原文存在语义信息不对称,与传统狭义上的"忠实"翻译伦理相冲突,但诗体美感的再创造又体现了强烈的译者主体性倾向。至其中后期的职业翻译人生,杨宪益的翻译指导思想逐渐向直译为主的"异化"翻译伦理观嬗变。
