摘要:

本文将“翻译是人学”命题从理论倡议推向历史论证,试图揭示其深层的儒家思想根基;进而通过对佛经翻译史“文质之辩”的重新阐释,还原仁道在中国译学传统中的历史作用;并以严复、钱锺书、辜鸿铭为关键节点,指出现代中国译学因背离仁道而陷入理性主义“复制”的困境;最后以“己所不欲,勿施于人”的普世金律为基础,尝试勾勒“新译人”的德性修养路径,为人工智能时代的译学发展提供中国方案。

关键词: 仁道, 儒家, 译学危机, 翻译是人学, 己所不欲勿施于人

Abstract:

This paper advances the proposition that “translation is a study of man” from theoretical advocacy to historical argumentation, revealing its deep roots in Ruist thought. By reinterpreting the “debate on refinement and substance” in the history of Buddhist scripture translation, it attempts to restore the historical role of Ren Dao (the Way of Humanity) in the Chinese tradition of translation studies. Taking Yan Fu, Qian Zhongshu, and Ku Hung-Ming as key nodal points, it points out that modern Chinese translation studies, by departing from the Dao, has fallen into the predicament of rationalist “copying”. Ultimately, based on the universal golden rule of “Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire”, it outlines a path for cultivating the moral character of the “new translator”, in an effort to offer a Chßinese approach to the development of translation studies in the age of artificial intelligence.

Key words: Ren Dao, Ruism, the crisis of translation studies, translation is the study of man, Do not impose on others what you yourself do not desire
