在一九六八年的台湾,发生了一件由翻译引发的案件——作家柏杨因漫画“大力水手”中的几句翻译而锒铛入狱。本文结合Lefevere的有关翻译理论对柏杨的翻译以及他获罪原因进行分析,并对有关翻译与意识形态关系的问题进行探讨。通过“大力水手”这一个案研究,我们可以看到,翻译虽然在特定情况下与一定历史时期的意识形态有紧密的关系,但讨论翻译与意识形态的问题,不能简单机械地套用某些翻译理论,而要尽可能多地考虑到多方面的因素,这样才可以对翻译作品及译者有公正客观的评价。
There was an incident arising from translation in Taiwan in 1968: a writer named Bo Yang was imprisoned simply because of the wording in his translation of the comic Popeye. This paper analyzes the reason of his imprisonment by applying Lefevere's translation theory and further discusses the relationship between translation and ideology. Through the analysis of the case of the “Popeye Incident”, we may see that, although translation is inseparable from certain ideology at certain historical period, we should not simply apply translation theory mechanically; instead we should take as many factors as possible into consideration and thus we may do justice to the translations as well as the translators.
