自20世纪80年代以来,翻译理论层出不穷,译学研究超越了传统的语言中心主义模式,赞助人、诗学、意识形态、权力、政治等因素不断地被纳入研究范围,跨学科趋势日益明显,译学界呈现出理论繁荣的盛景。在翻译研究实现“文化转向”后,后殖民理论观点被用来审视翻译与权力的关系问题。本文拟分层次阐述后殖民理论对翻译研究领域的影响,厘清后殖民翻译理论的主要观点,探讨其引发的问题,并预测其发展方向。 Since the 1980s, translation theory has emerged in an endless stream. Translatological studies transcend the traditional linguistic model. Factors such as patronage, poetics, ideology, power and politics are constantly being included in the study. Interdisciplinary trends are becoming increasingly evident, The translator has shown the prosperity of theory. Post-colonialist perspectives have been used to examine the relationship between translation and power after translation studies have achieved “cultural shift.” This paper will elaborate the impact of postcolonial theory on translation studies at different levels, clarify the main ideas of postcolonial translation theory, discuss the problems caused by it, and predict its development direction.
