创刊于1932年中西学传播汇集之地上海的 《现代》 杂志(Les Contemporains,1932~1935)一直以来都被视为20世纪30年代西方现代主义汉译的大本营。该杂志的翻译活动对世界现代文学在中国的译介和传播中发挥了积极的作用。以媒介为视角对《现代》的翻译活动进行研究,能更进一步发掘其在文学史、翻译史之外的价值,为新时期国内期刊出版的现代化发展提供参考。文章以《现代》杂志的翻译活动为研究对象,通过考察其翻译动机、翻译过程及翻译活动的组织形式,研究该杂志在20世纪30年代特殊的媒介语境下开创世界现代文艺信息阅读及传播空间,构建现代传媒认知的主体模式。该模式是期刊翻译团体现代媒介意识的觉醒和应用,在形塑国人对传媒手段及工具的现代性认知上作出了重要的贡献。

Founded in 1932 in Shanghai, a hub for the dissemination of both Chinese and Western learning, the magazine Les Contemporains(1932—1935) has long been regarded as the stronghold for the translation of Western modernism into Chinese in the 1930s. The translation practices of this magazine have played a positive role in the introduction and dissemination of world modern literature in China. Studying it from the perspective of media can further uncover its value beyond literary and translation history, providing a model for the modern development of domestic periodical publishing in the new era. The article takes the translation practices of the magazine as its research object. By examining its translation motives, translation process, and the organizational forms of its translation practices, the study explores how the magazine created a space for the reading and dissemination of world modern literary and artistic information and constructed a mainstream model of modern media consciousness under the unique media context of the 1930s. This model represents the awakening and application of modern media consciousness by periodical translation groups, making an important contribution to shaping the modern perception of media means and tools among the Chinese people.
