- Appropriateness Theory - 易扬帆 殷美达
I need more students here. You can write papers criticizing existing theories here and suggest what needs to be improved to develop a new theory! This is cutting edge research here! I expect the best students to participate and we may try to submit the papers to real academic journals!
我在文章中所举出来的例子会涉及一些人们约定俗成的道德规范，所以我认为您的这个理论是不是表达的是不仅仅只是考虑源文本和目标文本的内容传达，更多的还会去考虑两个文本背后所需要遵循的伦理道德的意思。 可以检查译文可能会不遵循两个entities或者communities之间的伦理道德的关系，最后违背了appropriate theory。 当然我相信人工智能长期来说也会学习道德。 我觉得为了解释appropriateness theory最容易的是用一些已经存在的理论，选择一些例子让读者理解为什么这些理论都有限。 有可能skopos达到了十分，但是翻译还是不对或者不理想。但是用appropriateness theory可以指路怎么提高这个翻译例子的质量。 如果你能找到一些例子，用传统的翻译理论打不到最理想的结果，那我们可以发展自己的Appropriateness Theory想出来一个办法，怎么把这种例子也能翻译的好。 意思就是我们去寻找一些如今还存在着问题亟待解决的译本，然后尝试着用appropriateness theory去解决，而不仅仅只是局限于伦理道德这一个方面。 发展出我们自己的appropriateness theory去提高译文的质量？ 当然appropriateness theory大家都可以做贡献，最后只有一种appropriateness theory，包括你们所提到的解决方法。 所以这个appropriateness theory是一个规模比较大的，它能够修理现在存在翻译理论的一些缺点。 为了找合适的具体的使用例子当然也需要完全懂传统的理论，也要理解它们的限制和缺点。 翻译者一般不按照理论翻译。只是咱们学者用理论。我们只要找一个例子我们觉得翻译的不太好。然后我们看一下按照哪一种传统的理论这个翻译应该还是好的，也没有办法提高质量。比如按照skopos是好的，因为在墓地读者达到跟在原来读者相同的作用。（比如一个假的新闻关于俄国女孩子anna在德国被难民抢劫的在俄国引起反德国的感情，翻译成德文以后在德国也引起从俄国移民到德国的俄国人少数民族的感情。按照appropriateness theory，假的新闻更笨不要翻译成其他语言，引起感情的后果是已经融入德国文化的俄国人开始意识到自己是俄国人，然后他们说他们在德国被压迫并请俄国跟德国打战争。这种例子在美国选举方面也有，在新馆疫情媒体报道方面也有）。然后我们想一想怎么还是可以提高质量（当然这个例子比较敏感，可以加两个词“假的”就提高了质量，但是也会有一些不那么敏感的例子，可以用另外一种方式提高质量）。找到了以后我们就按照这个发展Appropriateness Theory。

Abstract
We are living in a time when globalization is developing rapidly, where translation serves as an indispensable medium for communication and cooperation between countries and regions. Various translation theories and techniques sprang up to meet the needs of exchanges of different kinds, and conflicts arose as to what type of translation theory and technique should be adopted. However, there is always invisible power influencing the choice of translation strategies and guiding the process of translating, which is ideology. This article will present the relations between translation and ideology, a few cases of how ideology affected translation and its consequences, as well as appropriateness theory which could help ease the tension and to some extent reduce the influence of ideology to translation so as to preserve the value and meaning of translation.
Key Words
ideology, appropriateness, translating,communication and cooperation
Introduction
We have done a pretty good job in introducing and translating foreign works, especially English ones into Chinese. The past decades have seen tremendous influence of English books, songs,films etc on our society and daily life. We embrace their ideas and lifestyles from which we benefit a lot. Yet our achievements and efforts in promoting Chinese culture, books, songs and movies are far from enough. Cooperation and communication are based on mutual understanding. In order to achieve that and contribute to the peaceful development of the world, we shall not only embrace other cultures, but should help others know about Chinese culture and ideas. And Translation plays a significant part in this respect. However, more than a hundred years ago, when British army forced open China's door with advanced weapons, translation activities, under the influence of different ideologies, are biased and serve for the purpose of safeguarding the interests of nations and rulers. The foreign translation of Chinese works then has shaped western people's views on China and Chinese people for over a century. With the development of globalization and the increasing amount of cooperation, China seems to be paid more attention to and be known by more and more countries. However, there are still some deep-rooted prejudices and stereotypes against China, which hinders the smooth communication and cooperation between China and other countries. Translation, when manipulated by ideology, shall lose its value and significance. This article will summarize the relation between translation and ideology, analyze the influence and consequences of translation under the manipulation of ideology through a few cases, and put forward the principle of appropriateness to reduce such influence and preserve the value of translation. On the one hand, we shall not blindly accept others' ideologies, but take the essence and discard the dregs in line with the actual situation of our country. At the same time, we should try our best to spread our essence so that people from different countries shall have a better understanding of China and Chinese people, realize that China has been a peace-loving nation and we respect different cultures for thousands of years, and such shall never be taken as a threat but a friend who strives to work with others to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
