摘要:

基于知识翻译学理论,通过文本对比、理论阐释与史料挖掘,探究任博克《庄子》自我重译中的知识重构路径与动因,旨在揭示自我重译作为跨文化知识生产的动态机制。研究发现:第一,知识重构呈现三重联动转型,知识生成从“注疏倚重”转向“译者主导”,知识框架从“碎片选译”升级为“全景整合”,知识阐释从“静态对应”演进为“动态生长”,三重转型共同构成从“策展式翻译”到“阐释式翻译”的范式跃迁;第二,知识重构的双重动因,教学实践驱动的“使用反馈”与学术共同体赋能的“对话修正”,揭示了跨文化知识生产的“实践—认知”互动机制。研究表明:自我重译是译者基于认知演进与语境适配,对源文本知识进行解构与重构的循环再生产过程;任博克个案所揭示的“知识动态生长”范式,为中国哲学典籍的跨文化传播提供了“译者作为知识生产者”的理论启示,同时也对知识翻译学的“译者主体性”命题进行了深化与拓展。

Abstract:

Based on Transknowletology, this paper explores the knowledge reconstruction paths and motivations in Brook Ziporyn’s self-retranslation of Zhuangzi via textual comparison, theoretical interpretation and historical research, aiming to uncover the dynamic mechanism of self-retranslation as cross-cultural knowledge production. The study reveals a triple interactive transformation in knowledge reconstruction: knowledge generation shifts from commentary reliance to translator dominance, the framework upgrades from fragmented selection to holistic integration, and interpretation evolves from static correspondence to dynamic growth, forming a paradigm leap from curatorial translation to interpretive translation. The dual motivations for knowledge reconstruction are the usage feedback driven by teaching practice and the dialogic revision empowered by the academic community, which reveals the “practice-cognition” interactive mechanism of cross-cultural knowledge production. Self-retranslation is a circular reproduction of deconstructing and reconstructing source-text knowledge with cognitive and contextual adaptation. Ziporyn’s dynamic knowledge growth paradigm enlightens the cross-cultural communication of Chinese philosophical classics with the translator as knowledge producer, and enriches the translator subjectivity in Transknowletology.

Key words: Transknowletology, self-retranslation, knowledge reconstruction, cross-cultural knowledge production, Brook Ziporyn, Zhuangzi
