本文展示了大屠杀幸存者和作家HG阿德勒（1910-88）的作品对围绕翻译（广泛理解）与大屠杀苦难经历之间关系的问题所作的独特贡献。虽然大屠杀事件对语言交流经验的能力提出了新的挑战，但在阿德勒的文学和哲学作品中，挑战更应该是确保所有语言都植根于道德框架。阿德勒反对将语言扭曲成种族灭绝的工具。本文认为，阿德勒笔下的幸存者主角们并没有努力将难以形容的苦难经历翻译成文学德语，而是为他们的文学语言找到了一个听众群体。本文进一步阐述了阿德勒的人本主义翻译理论，揭示了阿德勒小说中交流与翻译之间的关系，并论证了Eine Reise（1962）中相互见证的行为在多大程度上失败了。本文既分析了小说中语言间翻译的语际行为，又测试了在讨论大屠杀文学时经常使用的隐喻性翻译。
This article demonstrates the unique contribution that the works of the Holocaust survivor and writer HG Adler (1910–88) make to the questions surrounding the relation of translation, broadly understood, to the experience of suffering in the Holocaust. Although a new challenge to the power of language to communicate experience was posed by the events of the Holocaust, in Adler's literary and philosophical work the challenge is rather to ensure that all language remains rooted in an ethical framework. Adler resists the distortion of language into an instrumental tool for genocide. This article argues that Adler's survivor-protagonists do not struggle to translate the ineffable experience of suffering into literary German, but rather, to find a community of listeners for their literary language. It further describes Adler's humanist theory of translation, showing how this sheds light on the relationship between communication and translation in Adler's novels, and demonstrates the extent to which the reciprocal act of bearing witness in Eine Reise (1962) fails. The article both analyses the interlingual act of translating between languages in the novel, and tests the more metaphorical sense of translation frequently used in discussing the literature of the Holocaust.
