【摘要】：《论语》是儒家思想的精华典籍之一,其蕴含了儒家思想的精髓,具有重要的研究价值。孔子思想,以"仁"和"礼"等为代表,流传至今。"礼"是孔子哲学思想的核心之一。孔子认为"礼"是治国的之本,"仁"是"礼"的精神内容,二者相结合,"援仁入礼,以仁充礼",希望用道德和礼教建立起理想国家。所以,"礼"在《论语》的英译过程中是一个重要概念。本论文从伽达默尔哲学阐释学为理论视角,探讨《论语》中"礼"一词英译本中所产生的不同以及原因。伽达默尔认为,翻译是一种理解与阐释的过程,能使译者对于文本产生理解。翻译同时也具有普遍性、历史性和创造性的特点。任何人在解释的过程中都带有自身生活经验和知识文化传统,这些不同经验使阐释者具有了不同的"前见"和"视域"。不同的"前见"和"视域"使他们对原作的理解与阐释也大相径庭。在《论语》众多译本中,作者选取了早期传教士理雅各和晚清学者辜鸿铭译本为例。理雅各是他是第一位系统研究、翻译中国古代经典的学者。辜鸿铭则是华人翻译《论语》的嚆矢。二人对于中国文化,尤其是儒学都有着深刻独到的见解。作者从"礼"字的起源开始探究,分析二者的译文,着重研究二位译者对于"礼"所给出的不同译法。作者也会深入分析两位译者的身份和经历在翻译中所起的决定作用,从而探究典籍英译中所应采取的策略。经过对比,理雅各和辜鸿铭在翻译《论语》的目的上有所不同,二者的学识经历的不同视域也导致了对"礼"翻译产生偏差。辜鸿铭多采用意译,理雅各多采用直译。二者都尽量做到了尊重原文,采用了最适合自己视域的翻译方法,从而将"最接近"的译文给读者。二人对"礼"的不同的视域也体现出二人在个人经历和宗教信仰等方面的差异。
[Abstract]:Analects of Confucius is one of the quintessence of Confucian thought, which contains the essence of Confucianism and has important research value. Confucius thought, with "benevolence" and "ceremony" as the representative, spread to this day. Ritual is one of the core of Confucius' philosophy. Confucius believed that "propriety" was the foundation of governing the country, and "benevolence" was the spiritual content of "propriety". Therefore, Li is an important concept in the process of translating Analects into English. From the perspective of Gadamer's philosophical hermeneutics, this thesis explores the differences and causes of the English translation of the word "Li" in Analects of Confucius. Gadamer believes that translation is a process of understanding and interpretation, which enables the translator to understand the text. Translation also has the characteristics of universality, history and creativity. In the process of interpretation, anyone has his own life experience and cultural tradition of knowledge, which makes the interpreter have different "previous views" and "horizons". Their understanding and interpretation of the original works are different from each other. Among the many versions of Analects of Confucius, the author takes the early missionary James and the late Qing scholar Gu Hongming as examples. He was the first scholar to study and translate the ancient Chinese classics. Gu Hongming is the key to the translation of the Analects of Confucius. Both of them have profound and original views on Chinese culture, especially Confucianism. The author probes into the origin of the word "Li", analyzes the translation of the two characters, and focuses on the two translators' different translation methods of "Li". The author also makes a thorough analysis of the decisive role played by the translator's identity and experience in translation, so as to explore the strategies to be adopted in the translation of classical books. By contrast, the purposes of James and Gu Hongming in translating the Analects of Confucius are different, and the different horizons of their learning experience also lead to the deviation of the translation of Li. Gu Hongming often uses free translation, and Richard uses literal translation. Both try their best to respect the original text and adopt the most suitable translation method to give the closest translation to the readers. The two people's different view of "ritual" also reflects their differences in personal experience and religious belief.
