【摘要】 本文旨在深入研究接受过程在翻译中的影响,探讨译者创造性对译文读者的作用。姚斯和伊索尔提出的接受美学,给文学评论界带来了一场革命,并最终使文学评论的中心实现了由作品向读者的转变。接受美学理论在翻译研究中的应用引起了研究者对译者与译文读者接受过程的关注。而马萧提出的翻译中面临的两次接受活动,为本文提供了理论依据。在关注这两次接受活动中的不同之处中,本文并得出结论:由于其作为跨文化交际中“中间人”的责任所在,译者需实现的接受过程要远比译文读者复杂。在文中,作者描述了译者接受过程与译文读者接受过程中的异同,并证实了翻译过程中译者适当再创造的必要性,从而明确了译者的基本责任—传播文明且创造可读性译文。众所周知,直译或意译和异化或归化一直是翻译研究与翻译实践中学者们争论的焦点之一。由于这些指导原则或只强调原文特征保存或只强调原文意义传达,在实际翻译过程中都很难达到令人满意的效果,因而本文均未给予支持;本文提出了一个新的原则,即译文读者的接受,要求译者在译文的可读性与文化传递性之间求得平衡。
【Abstract】 This essay attempts to further the studies of reception processes in translation studies and to prove the necessity of creation by translators.Aesthetics of Reception, presented by Hans Robert Jauss and Wolfgang Iser, causes a revolution in literary criticism and consequently shifts the focus of literary criticism from text to readers. Also application of the theory into translation studies brings to our attention the reception processes by translators and target language readers respectively. Ma Xiao in China figures out two stages of reception, i.e. translators’reception and target language readers’reception, and regards them as similar.This essay starts with the discussion of differences in reception processes between translators and target language readers, and concludes that the former, required by their responsibility as intermediary in cross-cultural communications, need to fulfill much more complicated reception processes as compared with the latter. In the essay, the author detects the differences in the reception processes between translators and target language readers, then asserts to the necessity of creation by translators in translation, and centers on translators’primary responsibility—to bridge different cultures and to produce acceptable translated versions.As we know, Literal translation or liberal translation and alienation or domestication has long been the focus of disputation in both translation theory and translation practice. Since these principles concentrate either on the preservation of the originality in source texts or simply on the conveyance of meaning from source texts to target texts, none of them are discussed in this essay. Instead, this essay presents a new guideline for translation: the acceptance of target language readers, requiring the translators’efforts in seeking a balance between comprehensibility and foreignness of translated versions.
