接受美学视角下译者在文学翻译中的作用

按照接受美学的观点,翻译过程中译者面临两次接受过程,第一次接受过程是译者本身与原作之间的交流,译文读者与译文的交流和对话是第二次接受活动,这只有在翻译完成之后才能实现.但是译者在翻译过程中必须考虑读者的存在,预测读者的接受水平和审美情趣.因此,在整个翻译过程中,译者的作用是明显的,他不仅充当原作的特殊读者,而且是阐释者和文学再创造者.

The Role of Translator in Literary Translation from the Perspective of Reception Aesthetics

According to Reception Theory,the translator will confront two processes of reception,one is the process of the communication between the translator and the original text and the other refers to the process of the communication between the reader and versions.The latter can be realized only after the translation has been finished.But the translator must think about the readers,and anticipate the readers' receptivity and aesthetic standards.In the whole process,the importance of translator is obvious because he not only acts as a reader of the original but also acts as the interpreter and re-creator.
