言语行为理论与翻译

奥斯汀的言语行为理论贯穿于翻译的全过程,能动地指导着翻译实践。在翻译过程中,译者关注的焦点始终应是原作意图和译文读者。翻译不能仅仅停留在译文与原文在语言表层意义上的相等,而要使二者真正达到语用或功能上的对等。

Speech Act Theory and Translation

The Speech Act theory by J.L.Austin is applicable in the whole process of translating and may be utilized to guide translation practice in a very effective way. While translating,the translator should always focus his or her attention on the real intention of the original author and the recipients of the target text. The translator should not merely seek the equivalence of surface structure. Instead she(he) has to try every means to achieve pragmatic or functional equivalence between the ST and the TT.
