内容摘要

在斯柏伯和威尔逊的关联理论的基础框架内,格特将关联理论应用于翻译研究中,探讨了翻译研究中颇具争议又引人注目的重要问题。本文就试图用关联翻译理论来描述翻译过程中译者对法律术语的处理,以来解释法律术语翻译不一致的现象。根据格特运用关联理论分析翻译过程取得的成果,法律术语翻译是一个双明示推理的动态过程,译者的翻译过程就是寻找最佳关联的过程。译者在法律术语刺激下,其大脑中的各种认知语境也被调动起来,完成推理一明示的过程,选择目的语完成翻译。最佳关联点不同,明示给受众的结果就存在不同。在翻译过程中,不确定的因素导致了术语不同翻译的产生。本文概述了目前法律术语翻译采取的不同策略,分析了法律术语翻译的一些知名学者的风格与特色,阐述了关联理论的研究内涵及其与法律术语翻译研究的关系,回答了同一法律术语为什么会有不同译文这一问题：法律术语多义性是产生不同翻译一个因素；不同的法律文化也是造成法律术语翻译不一致性的另一原因；译者的法律知识、译者的双语能力也影响着最终的翻译结果；译者对受众的认知语境评估也影响着最终的译文产出。本文列举了合同法的两种不同译文,并运用分析得出的语境、法律文化、语言能力、法律知识、法律术语多义性以及译者对译文受众的评估等影响因素来解释两个译本对同一术语的不同翻译,并得出在确定特定的法律文本时,对法律概念的不同理解是产生不同译文的最重要的因素。本文通过把同一法律文本中的同一术语的不同翻译进行比较,得出一个关联理论下的术语翻译比较机制,给法律术语的翻译研究提供了一个全新的视角,有利于研究者摆脱以往过分依赖个人实践经验的归纳与总结,从而提供了一个客观、稳固的研究思维,这对法律翻译者的培训也有一定的启发意义。
