解构还是重塑:对韦努蒂翻译理论的再思考

发布时间：2019-08-07 11:27

【摘要】：劳伦斯·韦努蒂异化翻译理论的默认语境是以英语为目标语,以其他相对弱势的语言为源语,因此存在着单向性的缺陷。本文从韦努蒂理论的这一默认语境及其单向性出发,通过重点分析韦努蒂所提倡的异化翻译在英美文化语境下对西方普世主义思潮的反拨,对英美文化重塑自我认同的促进,以及在其"翻译伦理"背后掩藏的"本土文化利益至上主义"倾向,揭示其理论真实的"文化政治议程"——即通过异化翻译在英美文化中移入其他文化的特质,从而为英美社会和民众找寻一种重塑自我认同的全新模式,并期待通过各类异化翻译作品来影响社会意义和文化意义的改良。本文认为,韦努蒂的理论归根结底落实在英美文化中,其对于英美文化的意义远大于对其他文化的意义;与其说是对英美文化霸权地位的一种解构,不如说是对英美文化自我认同的一种重塑。
[Abstract]:The default context of Laurence Wenuti's foreignization translation theory is English as the target language and other relatively weak languages as the source language, so there is a unidirectional defect. Starting from the default context of Wenuti's theory and its one-way approach, this paper focuses on the dissimilation translation advocated by Wenuti to reverse the trend of thought of western universality in the context of Anglo-American culture, the promotion of self-identity of British and American culture, and the tendency of "native cultural interest supremacy" hidden behind his "translation ethics". To reveal the true "cultural and political agenda" of its theory, that is, to transfer the characteristics of other cultures into Anglo-American culture through foreignization translation, so as to find a new model for British and American society and people to reshape their self-identity, and look forward to influencing the improvement of social and cultural meaning through all kinds of foreignized translation works. This paper holds that Wenuti's theory is implemented in Anglo-American culture in the final analysis, and its significance to Anglo-American culture is much greater than that to other cultures, and it is not so much a kind of deconstructing of Anglo-American cultural hegemony, but rather a reconstruction of Anglo-American cultural self-identity. In the final analysis, Wenuti's theory is implemented in Anglo-American culture, and its significance to Anglo-American culture is much greater than that to other cultures.
