“文化自觉”的翻译观与《道德经》中“有无”的翻译——以安乐哲、郝大维《道德经》英译为例
Roger Ames & Hall David’s English Translation of“You” (有) and“Wu” (无) from the Perspective of Cultural Awareness
摘要:
“有”和“无”是一对重要的哲学概念。如何理解这一对概念以及它们与“道”的关系,是解读《道德经》的关键。安乐哲和郝大维的《道德经》英译专门讨论了这一对概念,并提出了“无为”等一系列以“无”与其他名词构成的词组串,以此来强调“无”的思想在《道德经》中的重要地位,表明了译者们与西方分析哲学的分裂以及与过程哲学的贴近,且考虑了翻译的创新功能,是具有“文化自觉”意识的英译。
