摘要
法国释意理论诞生于上个世纪六十年代,从对职业口译的观察到提出与当时占主导地位的结构主义语言学理论相悖的问题,再到实证和跨学科研究,其基本理论在受到业界认可的同时,也引发了诸多质疑。有人对其科学性表示怀疑,提出"释意理论是理论吗?"还有人批评释意理论犯了认识论、方法论和术语错误,甚至有人说,释意理论已寿终正寝,本文拟就释意理论创始人之一M·勒代雷教授2005年5月刚发表的"为翻译的释意理论辩护与论证"一文为基础,对争议的核心问题进行介绍和分析。
Born in the 1960s on the basis of direct observations of professional interpreters＇ practices, the interpretive theory of translation has had a bumpy course of development. On one hand, with the fruitful empirical and interdisciplinary researches it has inspired, the theory has established itself as a notable conceptual tool in translation studies. On the other hand, in part because it refused to jump on the bandwagon of the dominant structuralist linguistics in the beginning, it has never been far from controversies. The validity of its basic assumptions has been questioned. Its claims of scientific or theoretical status have been received with skepticism. It has been taken to task for allegedly committing all kinds of epistemological, methodological and terminological ＂crrors.＂ Its demise as a theory has been pronounced. To find out whether these criticisms are indeed warranted, this article turns to one of the founders of the theory, Professor M. Lederer, using her 2005 article ＂In Defense and Justification of the Interpretative Theory of Translation＂ as the springboard for offering an analytical account of the core issues it has provoked.
