本文讨论了新批评代表人物和在翻译理论与实践中都有建树的理查兹的著作。《孟子论心智》(1932)是他在清华大学任客座教授时的产物,在这本书中,理查兹探讨了与他的多重定义之理论及语言的多重意义相关的翻译问题。他后期的著述则与他在哈佛大学从事普通教育相关,那时他所关注的是古希腊文化的主要文本,即荷马的《伊利亚特》和柏拉图的《理想国》。他用简单的英文对这两部著述的翻译意在使普通读者能读懂。最后,作者论证道,理查兹后期作为一位诗人还改编了圣经的约伯书,从而形成了他通过戏剧表演来达到一种文化中介的实践。 This article discusses the work of new critics and Richards, who has both contributed to translation theory and practice. Mencius’s Mind (1932) was the product of a visiting professor at Tsinghua University in which Richards explored translation issues related to his multiple definitions of theory and the multiple meanings of language. His later writings were related to his general education at Harvard, when he focused on the main texts of ancient Greek culture, Homer’s Iliad and Plato’s Dreamland. His translations in both English and English are intended to be read by ordinary readers. Finally, the author argues that Richards later adapted the Bible Book of Job as a poet, thus forming his practice of achieving a cultural intermediation through theatrical performance.
