摘要
本文首先从人类多中心起源说对解构主义深信不疑的<圣经>巴别塔故事进行解构,然后从信息学角度,认为语言符号的主要功能是交际,而交际过程中人是发送和接收信息的主体,符号只是载体,接着又指出原文文本是历史的产物,解读语言符号的信息需要把文本置于特定的历史框架中对其进行共时研究.文章最后提醒人们解构主义者鼓吹译本需要不断更新的主张是不切实际的,并揭露了原文依赖译文而存活的荒谬性.
The paper first uses the multi-origin theory of humanity to deconstruct the story of Babel as told in the Bible which deconstructionists have never in a moment doubted; then from the viewpoint of information science expounds that language signs which are merely carriers of message are mainly used for communication in which human senders and receivers are decisive factors; after that points out that source language texts (SLT) are historical products and the deciphering of any symbols in them depends on the synchronization of the whole text in the framework of a particular historical period. In conclusion, it reminds us of the impracticability of the deconstructionist advocate that the same SLT should be retranslated again and again and at the same time exposes the absurdity of the allegation that survival of a text depends on its being repeatedly translated.
