论翻译原则的评判标准

论文摘要

关于翻译原则,争论由来已久。传统的翻译原则仅仅关注原文和译文两个文本之间的关系,而忽略了社会文化因素以及译者的目的。尽管翻译原则经常为人们所讨论,关于翻译原则的评判标准的研究却很少。前人提出的翻译原则的评判标准,要么只关心译文是否在信息或者意思方面忠实于原文,要么只强调译者的主体性;二者都忽视了译者所处的社会文化语境对翻译原则的影响。林纾被公认为一位很成功的翻译家。然而,仔细研究他的译作,人们会发现他不仅仅注意到原文与译文两个文本的关系,更重视他所处时代的社会文化因素。他在译作中普遍使用漏译,增词和编译的策略。在传统翻译原则看来,这些做法是不忠实于原作。然而,事实却是,林纾的译作非常成功,对中国人产生了永不磨灭的影响。本论文以目的论为理论框架,对《黑奴吁天录》进行文本分析,试图探究翻译原则与译者所处的社会文化语境之间的关系,认为:任何翻译原则都不仅要注意原文与译文两个文本之间的关系,更要充分考虑译者生活的社会文化语境,顺应时代的要求。
