国民政府军委外事局曾招考、选调了数千译员服务世界反法西斯战争中国战区。本研究通过检索1941~1945年中国国民党机关报刊登的该局译员招考启事和相关报道,梳理了译员履职条件和薪酬待遇情况两大历时变化最为显著的要素,刻画了外事局塑造的译者形象,并结合译者自传、回忆录考察了译者自塑形象。研究发现,译者自我评价的艰辛形象与外事局塑造的光鲜形象存在较大差异。本文有望为译者形象研究提供新思路并充实抗战时期翻译研究。

During the World Anti-Fascist War in the China Theater, the Foreign Affairs Bureau of the Military Commission of the Kuomintang Government played a crucial role by recruiting thousands of translators/interpreters, who made significant contributions to the victory in the War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. The study focuses on the recruitment notices and related reports published in the Central Daily News from 1941 to 1945, aiming to shed light on the two most significant elements of the translators’/interpreters’ qualifications and remuneration over time. By examining these historical materials, the study uncovers sharp contrasts between the images portrayed by the Bureau in the newspaper and those self-narrated in the autobiographies and memoirs of the translators/interpreters. This paper seeks to offer fresh insights and approaches to the images of translators and interpreters during wartime.
