A Study of Translation Institutional Ethics

Traditional translation ethics characterized by translators’ ethics cannot provide a strong moral support to the translation practice,or guarantee the moral requirement towards translation activities in the social transformation caused by the market economy,because it does not have the power of punishment. Translation institutional ethics,however,a new form of translation ethics,integrates the translation ethic norm,translation regulations and relative laws together. As an inevitable outcome in the new era,it can escort the orderly and healthy translation activities. Its purpose is to strengthen the translators’moral consciousness,to sublimate their moral notions and to transfer from heteronomy to autonomy.

翻译伦理的本质探析———以澳门地区中医医疗机构的双语公示语为例
