Translation Discourse Analysis and Hermeneutics

本项目的目的是研究（1）传统的以意义对等为基础的翻译理论，其主要倡导者是尤金奈达和乔治穆宁;（2）詹姆斯霍姆斯和吉迪恩图里的翻译研究，他们试图将传统的翻译理论转变为系统的、跨学科的研究，（3）后结构主义的翻译理论，它通过引用译语的元语言来动摇和解构原文的意义;（4）犹太的卡巴拉解释学，它从神学的角度审视翻译理论。通过对翻译理论这四个方面的研究，笔者得出结论：翻译研究在20世纪70年代以后彻底改变了翻译理论的研究方法，将成为一门最有前途的跨学科学科，包括语言学、比较文学、文化研究、哲学、历史和神学。

The purpose of this project, Translation Discourse Analysis and Hermeneutics, is to research into (1) the conventional translation theory based on the equivalence of meaning, the main proponents of which were Eugene Nida and George Mounin, (2) the translation studies by James Holmes and Gideon Toury, who tried to change the conventional translation theory into the systematic, interdisciplinary study, (3) the translation theory of the post-structuralism, which destabilized and deconstructed the meanings of source texts by way of referring to the meta-language of target texts, (4) the Jewish Kabbalistic hermeneutics, which examined the theological aspect of translation theory. By studying these four aspects of translation theory, I have concluded that the translation studies, as they completely changed the methodology after 1970s, would be developed as one of the most promising interdisciplinary disciplines, including linguistics, comparative literature, cultural studies, philosophy, history, and theology.
