试论翻译研究中的等值理论

在众多的翻译理论中,翻译等值理论是颇有争议但又极具生命力的理论。值得关注的是,由于不同语言之间客观存在的巨大差异,翻译中的完全等值只是一种理想,但等值理论在使翻译信息的量化方面较其他翻译标准有更大的优势,因而在当今仍是翻译理论的核心。

A Reflection upon the Translation Equivalence

The establishment of any academic discipline requires the systematic theory and theoretical criteria of its own. The same is true of the translation studies. Amid the different translation theories stands out the translation equivalence that is debatable but animated. It is worthwhile to notice that, while full equivalence is not in existence because of the gaps of different languages, translation equivalence has greater advantages over other translation criteria in information quantification. Nevertheless. the translation equivalence is and will still be the core of translation theory.
