理论对翻译学习者有用吗？——问题解决视角下的探讨

摘要/Abstract

摘要： 翻译理论与翻译实践之间的关系是翻译学界一直以来不断讨论的话题。当前学界普遍认为翻译理论能够指导翻译实践,但对于这种指导如何具体发挥作用的探讨仍显不足。本文基于对翻译理论本质认识的纯化与泛化倾向梳理,从问题解决的视角出发,阐释翻译理论对于翻译问题解决过程中五类子活动的指导作用;结合对于学习者的案例分析,指出对于翻译理论的学习能够作用于学习者的翻译问题解决过程,令其在各项子活动中呈现出不同程度的变化与发展。本文揭示了翻译理论对于学习者翻译问题解决过程的可能影响,期望能为翻译理论与实践二者关系的探讨带来新视角,引发更多思考与讨论。
