翻译研究 : 规定、描写、伦理

Abstract

本文首先澄清规定、描写与伦理几个概念的关系,并通过回顾翻译伦理研究,着重分析贝尔曼、韦努蒂、切斯特曼的伦理观点。指出传统的规定性理论说的是文本关系,而翻译伦理讨论的是人际关系。在后现代的背景下,文化间的不平等使"翻译伦理"越显重要。 The importance of ethical issues in translation has caught the attention of translation scholars in recent years, and there is a growing awareness thattranslation ethics cannot be simply reduced to or equated with the traditional concept of faithfulness or fidelity. This paper tries to clarify some confused concepts about prescription (as opposed to description) and ethics in this field. It also undertakes to examine the ethical models proposed by Andrew Chesterman in relation to the ethical issues raised by Antoine Berman and Lawrence Venuti. The one point we try to make is that ethical values of equality and respect warrant more attention from translation scholars inthe current post-modern context.
