关联理论认为语言的交际过程是最佳关联实现的过程,即听者不用花费不必要的努力便可以得到足够的语境效果。关联理论下的翻译,同样追求最佳关联。《论语》在中国优秀传统文化的交流与传播中扮演着重要的角色。本文从关联理论出发,以《论语》的第四章为例,分析如何更好的翻译过程中实现最佳关联。 Relevance theory holds that the communicative process of language is the process of optimal relational realization, that is, the listener can get enough contextual effect without spending unnecessary efforts. Translation under the Relevance Theory also pursues the best correlation. The Analects play an important role in the exchange and dissemination of China’s excellent traditional culture. Based on the theory of relevance, this paper takes the fourth chapter of The Analects as an example to analyze how to achieve the best correlation in the process of better translation.
