这一讨论密切地反映了多米尼克·斯卡丰（Dominique Scarfone）的呼吁，即将精神分析视为一种建立在伦理基础上的实践，并依靠这一前提来绘制一种基本的共同点，这种共同点在精神分析的大部分历史中都没有得到体现。在斯卡丰所关注的三点中，我最关注的是第三点——以翻译概念为模型的精神分析——因为我发现他的建议很有启发性，而且有望实现他为论文设定的目标。在此背景下，在本雅明（Walter Benjamin）和列维纳斯（Emmanuel Levinas）提出的观点的帮助下，在斯卡丰提出的基础上，我认为，作为精神分析学家，能把我们团结在一起的愿景，确实依赖于一种关注他人话语的伦理，它的意义，以及它对可沟通性的基本而复杂的努力。更具体地说，我们需要认识到，语言可以隐藏我们说出来的需要。我们说的话掩盖了我们的脆弱和羞耻。当我们试图回忆时，我们所说的语言被个人和历史力量所扭曲，使我们忘记了自己。因此，我认为精神分析译者的任务是揭示和重新定义那些分散的、编码的碎片；帮助我们恢复讲故事的能力；认识到这一点比什么都重要，我们想告诉他们。
This discussion reflects closely on Dominique Scarfone’s call to consider psychoanalysis as a practice founded on ethics, and to rely on this premise in charting a fundamental common ground such that has eluded psychoanalysis for most of its history. Out of the three points Scarfone centers on, I dedicate most attention to the third—psychoanalysis as modeled on the notion of translation—because I find his suggestion inspiring, and promising toward the goals he sets for his paper. Building on the basis Scarfone offers in this context with the help of ideas developed by Walter Benjamin and Emmanuel Levinas, I suggest that the vision that can pull us together as psychoanalysts indeed relies on an ethics of attending to the other’s speech, its meaning as well as its fundamental yet complicated striving for comunicability. More specifically, we need to recognize that words can hide our need to say them. That what we say obscures our vulnerability and shame. That when we try to recall, the language we speak is distorted by the personal and historical forces collaborating to make us forget ourselves. I argue that the task of the psychoanalytic translator is therefore to uncover and resignify the scattered, coded fragments; to help us restore our ability to tell our stories; and to recognize that more than everything, we want to tell them.
