知识翻译学提出知识重构的差异何以为“真”的问题。对概念翻译进行阿尔都塞式的“问题构成”(problématique)分析能够为此提供一条思想史的路径。在这个框架下,史华兹与黄克武的“问题构成”分析呈现出了互补性:史华兹从宏观视角把握严复的“问题构成”,通过共同的问题关切寻溯思想谱系,呈现了跨文化交遇的历史真实。黄克武将概念视作具有历史结构的概念群,通过严复翻译的“不信”症候迂回抵达其思想的深层结构。分析表明,概念翻译的“不信”是知识重构的真实历史痕迹,对“不信”的症候阅读,能够揭示知识在跨语际迁移中被遮蔽、被凸显、被重构的复杂机制。“问题构成”分析不仅能为知识翻译学提供思想史的方法论资源,也使翻译研究与概念史、思想史的对话成为可能。

Transknowletology raises the question of how the differences generated through knowledge reconstruction can be considered “true”. This article argues that an Althusserian problématique analysis of translation of concepts offers an intellectual-historical approach to this issue. Within this framework, the problématique analyses conducted by Benjamin Schwartz and Huang Kewu exhibit a complementary dialogue. Schwartz approaches Yan Fu’s problématique from a macro perspective, tracing intellectual genealogies through shared concerns and thereby illuminating the historical realities of intercultural encounters. Huang treats concepts as historically-structured clusters and, through a symptomatic reading of the “unfaithfulness” in Yan Fu’s translations, uncovers the deeper structure of Yan’s thought. Both approaches show that “unfaithfulness” in translation is a genuine historical trace of knowledge reconstruction. Such symptomatic analysis reveals how knowledge is obscured, foregrounded, and reconfigured in cross-linguistic transfer. This framework not only enriches the methodological resources of Transknowletology but also enables dialogues between translation studies and conceptual history as well as intellectual history.
