进行了探讨，指出《任务》一文中的某些独特见解确实蕴含着解构主义翻译思想的萌芽。黄海容（2007）从本雅明的语言观出发，介绍了本雅明有关翻译的终极目的、翻译的方法、可译性和不可译性和翻译与批评的使命等观点，并从中分析其世界观和文学批评观。值得一提的是，周晔（2011）结合本雅明翻译实践阐述了本雅明翻译思想的形成过程和构成其翻译思想的核心概念，力图阐明其翻译思想与其整体思想之间的内在关联。保罗·德曼（2003）尝试从德语原文所用词语的多义性阐发本雅明翻译思想中的解构主义特质；而雅克·德里达（2003）则以专有名词Babel翻译的不可能性来说明本雅明翻译思想中有关翻译的必要性及其终极不可能性问题。他不完全是对《任务》进行阐释，也在论述自己的解构主义翻译思想。

英文摘要An Allegorical Re-interpretation of Benjamin’s Conception of Translation
by Gao Qian & Zhong Shouman (Hangzhou Normal University, Zhejiang, China) p. 12
Abstract: Since allegory is the concept on which Walter Bejamin’s philosophy and literary theories center, an allegorical interpretation of his thoughts on translation promises to shed new light on what he regards as the nature of real languages, the nature of translation, and the translator’s task. Adopting such an approach to a re-reading of Benjamin, this article concludes that for him, translation is a process of turning original texts into allegories and should be imbued with a socially critical spirit.
Key words: allegorization; pure language; word-for-word translation; social criticism
Naming, Over-naming, and Pure Language: Reading/Translating《读画》 (“The Reading of a Painting”)
By Zhu Chunshen (City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong, China) p. 18
Abstract: This article rethinks Walter Benjamin’s conception of“pure language”in reference to his (1916) essay on language, naming, and over-naming. A discussion of what these Benjaminian notions imply directs attention to translation’s paradoxical move simultaneously to enable communication between the two modes of cognition it deals with and to block such communication because of the inherent impurity of human languages. By at once facilitating and hindering communication, translation re-channels signification into the target system and opens up in the reader a new collage of memories. As such, a literarily translated text is by definition independent of the source text when it is viewed as the latter’s afterlife, and hence should be taken for a work of art in its own right. Instead of taking its general readers back to the source text’s domain through the subject content it transfers, such a translation would, and indeed should, draw their attention to its own textuality, i.e., its unique ways of saying as achieved in its response to, and incorporation of, those of the source text. In this sense, every translation represents a tiny step towards“linguistic complementation”in Benjamin’s words. For an illustration of this line of thought, a critical examination of the English translation of an artistic essay by Liang Shih-ch’iu, namely《读画》( “The Reading of a Painting”) is offered.Key words: Walter Benjamin; naming; pure language; literary translation; Liang Shih-ch’iu
Occidentalism and the Translation in 18th- and 19th-century China
Jiang Xiaohua (Macao Polytechnic Institute, Macao, China) p.32Abstract: The term Occidentalism has two salient implications: a) the biases that the non-Westerners hold against the Western world; and b) a kind of ideology coming from the Western world or the non-Western world, which has two sides opposite to each other, one “pro-Western” and the other “anti-Western.” This paper examines both the “anti-Western” and the “pro-Western” mode of Occidentalism in China’s translations during the 18th and the 19th century. It argues that the “anti-Western” Occidentalism in China’s translations originated from China’s traditional cultural prominence and the Chinese sense of superiority as a thousands-year-old superpower, while the “pro-Western” Occidentalism came into being as a result of China’s embrace of the Western cultural model. A similar manifestation of Occidentalism can also be detected in translations conducted in other oriental countries, such as India and Japan.Key words:Occidentalism; uglifying; beautifying; the West; translation
The Translator’s Aphasia and the Missing Link in Translation Teaching
by Xu Lina (College of Foreign Languages, Qingdao University, Shandong, China) p.52
Abstract: The concept of “translational aphasia” draws our attention to the fact that many of the translator’s language problems bear a strong similarity to the clinical symptoms of aphasic patients. Adopting a semantic approach to the study
s aphasia results from a cognitive of the errors and language disorders in translation, this article argues that the translator’
deficit or cognitive blindness induced by unawareness of internal information processing, and that paying a close attention to the problem of translational aphasia would point us to a missing link in translation teaching, mendable only through a systematic introduction of semantic knowledge to students of translation.
Key words: translational aphasia; cognitive blindness; semantic knowledge; translation teaching
