知识翻译学经历了从“知识如何翻译”到“翻译如何生产知识”的深化之后,需要回答人的位置何在的问题。建构“译—知—人—行”的思想框架,阐释“以知释译”“译以致知”“译以成人”“真知成就真人”与“知行合一”内涵,既是回答翻译究竟为了谁的问题关键,也是实现知识翻译学“人学转向”的题中之义。这不仅系统表达了“知识是物学,翻译是人学”的命题,更在面对知识间性的当代境遇中,展现出知识翻译学促进知识平等与文明互鉴的理论张力。

Following its evolution from the question of “how to translate knowledge” to that of “how translation produces knowledge”, Transknowletology now urgently needs to address the question of where the human stands. Constructing the theoretical framework of “Translation-Knowledge-Human-Action” and elucidating the connotations of “understanding translation through knowledge”, “translation for the sake of knowledge”, “translation for humanization”, “true knowledge achieves true humanity”, and “the unity of knowledge and action” is not only key to answering for whom translation ultimately exists, but is also integral to affecting a humanistic turn in Transknowletology itself. This endeavor systematically articulates the proposition of “Knowledge as Materialism and Translation as Humanism”. Moreover, in confronting the contemporary condition of inter-knowledgeness, it demonstrates the theoretical tension of Transknowletology in fostering epistemic equality and mutual learning among civilizations.
