人工智能在事实性知识处理上的卓越能力,要求知识翻译学重新审视“真知”内涵、彰显人类译者的独特价值。本文以王阳明心学为理论资源,在知识翻译学“事实之真”的基础上,首次提出并系统阐释“心性之真”概念,构建“真知”的二维理论框架。“事实之真”确保知识加工的事实准确性,是翻译的基础维度;“心性之真”强调译者通过“致良知”工夫实现文化意象的精神转化与诗意重构,是翻译的升华维度。二者并非两个独立的“真”,而是“真”的客观与主体向度,是基础与超越、工具与价值、技术与人文的辩证统一,在译者“致良知”的实践中达成本体性融合。通过对《人生·江湖》一诗中核心文化意象的AI翻译局限与人类译者心性转化的对比分析,揭示了AI可高效传递“事实之真”,但唯有具备心性体认的人类译者方能触及“契于良知”的翻译境界。读者接受验证进一步证实“心性之真”路径在心性共鸣、负面规避与最高认可三方面的独特价值。本文为知识翻译学在AI时代的人文转向提供了理论支点,也为中国文化对外传播的深度实践开辟了心性路径。

Artificial intelligence’s remarkable capabilities in processing factual knowledge prompt Transknowletology to re-examine the connotation of “true knowledge” and highlight the unique value of human translators. Drawing on Wang Yangming’s philosophy of mind, this paper builds upon the “factual truth” in Transknowletology to propose and systematically interpret the concept of “mind-nature truth,” thereby constructing a two-dimensional theoretical framework of “true knowledge.” “Factual truth” ensures the factual accuracy of knowledge processing, serving as the foundational dimension of translation. “Mind-nature truth”, emphasizing the translator’s spiritual transformation and poetic reconstruction of cultural images through the practice of zhì liángzhī (extending innate moral knowledge), represents the transcendent dimension. Instead of two separate truths, they are the objective and subjective dimensions of truth, forming a dialectical unity of foundation and transcendence, instrument and value, technology and humanity, and achieving ontological integration in the translator’s practice of “extending innate moral knowledge”. Through a comparative analysis of AI’s limitations and the human translator’s mind-nature transformation in rendering core cultural images in the poem Life in Jianghu, this paper reveals that while AI can efficiently convey “factual truth”, only human translators with mind-nature understanding can attain the translational realm of “consonance with innate moral knowledge”. Reader reception validation further confirms the distinctive value of the “mind-nature truth” pathway in three aspects: mind-nature resonance, avoidance of negative connotations, and highest recognition. This paper provides a theoretical pivot for the humanistic turn of Transknowletology in the AI era and offers a mind-nature pathway for the in-depth practice of disseminating Chinese culture abroad.
