林语堂一生著译不辍,在“对外国人讲中国文化”方面做出过重大贡献。研究通过审视和梳理林语堂公开发表的译论,以及著译作品副文本中的译论话语,结合翻译实例提炼出三个主要译介思想特色:“忠实、通顺、美”三位一体的和谐思想、“使读者有动于中”的共情思想、中西文化交流互鉴的会通思想。这些特色彰显了林语堂对外译介思想的整体观、他者观以及对话观,可以为当下中国文化“走出去”提供思想源泉、策略参考价值和文化自信理念。
Lin Yutang devoted his entire life to writing and translating, and has made outstanding contributions to
"telling foreigners about Chinese culture". By examining and combing Lin Yutang's translation thought and related
discourse on translation in the paratexts of his works, three main features of his translation thought can be extracted
from his translation practice, namely, the view of harmony by adhering to "faithfulness, smoothness and beauty", the
view of empathy by "striking a chord with readers" and the view of integration by promoting the exchanges and mutual understanding between Chinese and Western cultures. These features highlight the holistic, other-oriented, and
dialogical nature of Lin Yutang's translation thoughts, thereby providing a source of ideas, strategic reference value,
and cultural confidence for the current Chinese Culture Going Out.
