文学翻译需要文学理论

文学翻译作为翻译的一个类型,在质量标准上有其特殊性,而译者对于源语文本的理解和目的语文本的创造使文学翻译的全过程被置于文学理论的制约之中.基于文学翻译的固有特性,以及文学翻译过程中译者与文本的关系及其创造性作用,文学翻译同样需要文学理论.

Literary Translation Needs Literary Theory

As a category of translation,literary translation has its own particularities in quality level.The translator's comprehension taking the source language text as its base and his creation taking the target language text as its base bring the whole course of literary translation under the restriction of literary theory.As determined by the inherent characteristic of literary translation,by the relation between the translator and the text during translation and by the function of creativity,literary translation needs literary theory just the same.
