15、本的品评文章也源源不断。然而，评论者多集中于语言层面的分析，从文化空缺或“归化、异化”上入手，但从译者及其译者主体性角度出发的研究至今仍较少见。译者的主体性在翻译史上经历了一个由朦胧到凸显的过程。20世纪70年代以来，西方翻译理论出现了“文化转向”，运用后结构主义理论对文本的意义进行阐述。译者的主体性及其在翻译过程中所起的主体性作用逐渐受到西方翻译理论界的广泛关注，我国对译者主体性的研究也在日益加深。译者主体性在国内外已得到了应有的重视。阐释学 （Hermeneutics） 是 20 世纪 60 年代后盛行于西方的哲学和文化思潮。任何翻译都由理解开始，阐释学理论正是基于对意义的理解与阐释的一门
16、学科。翻译阐释学派强调翻译和理解之间密不可分的关系，对理解的作用和方式进行不同的阐释。翻译活动也从传统的原作者“独白”和无限度的读者阐释，走向了原作者、文本译者、译文与译文读者之间的积极对话。在翻译的过程中，译者处于整个对话活动的中心位置, 扮演着读者和译文作者的双重角色。阐释学视角给翻译研究注入了新的活力，带来了新的研究视角。鉴于译者的主体地位在当今文化语境下已得到越来越多的关注，本文拟运用阐释学相关理论，重新审视和研究译者的主体性作用。本文拟以翻译阐释学理论为基础，以萨克雷的名作名利场的两个权威中文译本为语料，运用斯坦纳的“翻译的四步骤”，伽达默尔的“偏见”、“视域融合”等阐释学基本观点，
17、通过实证分析，对萨克雷的名利场的两个中文译本进行对比研究，藉以考察译者主体性在文学翻译过程中的表现。 本文共分五章。第一章对萨克雷，其名著名利场及名利场的两个权威版的中译本做简要的介绍。第二章对“译者主体性”问题和“阐释学”理论及相关的研究现状进行较为详细的介绍和说明，阐明什么是“译者主体性”、“阐释学”经历了怎样的发展行程，以及它是如何与“译者主体性”相结合的。第三章和第四章是本文的重点。这两章以名利场的两个不同中文译本为案例，以从中所选取的大量文本实例为实证，运用阐释学的核心理论对“译者主体性”进行深入和充分的讨论。其中，第三章以乔治斯坦纳的“翻译四步骤”理论为依据，对名利场的两中译本的译
18、者主体性的发挥进行对比分析与关照，即译者在经历 “信赖”、“侵入”、“吸收”和“补偿”这四个翻译步骤的过程中所体现出的译者主体性。第四章，根据伽达默尔的“视域融合”理论，从译本本身的不同特征，如译者的翻译策略、语言风格、艺术标准及文化传真度等，探讨名利场两中译本的译者主体性。第五章为结论，即：在阐释学理论的视域下，翻译过程应当理解为译者能动的阐释原文的过程，译者主体性的发挥具有其合法性和一定的局限性。传统译论中有关译者的理论很难指导译者在翻译实践中充分调动自己的主体性，而结合阐释学相关理论对译者主体性及其实际作用进行研究，则能够较好地解决这个问题。本文以阐释学理论与传统翻译理论相结合作为立论基
19、础，旨在能从阐释学角度出发，为名利场的两个权威中文译本的译者主体性的解读，提供一个较新的视角。笔者希望本文能具有一定的理论意义，并能为文学翻译研究和翻译实践提供一点儿切实可行的参考。关键词：名利场; 译者主体性; 阐释学; 翻译四步骤; 视域融合 ABSTRACTWilliam Makepeace Thackeray, one of the greatest critical realist writers of England in the 19th century, reached his peak of popularity with the publication of his mas
20、terpiece Vanity Fair. It is “his most famous work in his literary career, which can certainly stand the test of time,” claimed Yang Jiang in 1997. Among the Chinese versions of Vanity Fair, the most widely acclaimed one is translated by Yang Bi, a well-known female scholar in China, and her version,
21、 regarded as the most authoritative one, has enjoyed great popularity among the Chinese readers ever since its publication. Confronted with more challenging difficulties though, Professor Peng Changjiang from Hunan Normal University re-translated the novel a few decades later, making innovations in
22、terms of linguistic performances, rhetorical properties, and so on.As the number of the Chinese versions of Vanity Fair grows, articles commenting on different translations accordingly are coming forth endlessly. However, most of the comments and researches concerned are focused on the level of ling
23、uistic aspects, on “foreignization or domestication”，or on the basis of the cultural gap. It is still rare to see discussions and researches on comparison between the different versions from the perspective of translators functions or translators subjectivity. As we all know, the development of the
24、theory of translators subjectivity underwent various stages from being obscure to its being on the foreground of today. Since 1970s, translation theories in the western world began to take a “Cultural Turn”. There has been a tendency of applying post-structuralism to the interpretation of texts. As
25、a result, the theory of translators subjectivity and its leading role in the process of translating has aroused great concern among the translation theorists. Scholars in China have also paid increasing attention to this theory. At present translators subjectivity as a translation theory has achieve
26、d its deserving stature.Hermeneutics as a philosophical and cultural ideology was prevalent in the West in the late 1960s. Since any translation begins with the understanding, Hermeneutics is exactly such a branch of learning that is established on the basis of understanding and hermeneutical exeges
27、is and interpretation of the textual and contextual meanings of the texts in question. Hermeneutics, as viewed from the aspect of the translation theory, emphasizes that there is an inseparable relationship between translation and comprehension. It illustrates the how and the why understanding and i
28、nterpretation occurs from quite a different perspective. Thus the perception of the translating process begins to change from the writers own monologue and the targeted readers infinitive interpretation to an active dialogue between the original writer, the translator, the translation and the reader
29、. In the light of the hermeneutical view, the translator becomes the interlocutor playing the double-role as both the reader of the source language text and the writer of the target language text. Hermeneutics, to some extent, has injected new vitality into the study of translation theories from a b
30、rand new perspective.In view of the situation in which more and more emphases are placed on translators subjectivity, this thesis aims at conducting a re-investigation into the theory of translators subjectivity from the perspective of Hermeneutics. By way of applying some core concepts of Hermeneut
31、ics, such as George Steiners “Fourfold Hermeneutic Translation Motion Theory”, and Gadamers Hermeneutic theories, including his theories of “Fusion of Horizons”, “Prejudice”, “Fore-Understanding”, and through the adoption of large quantities of factual instances taken from the two authoritative Chin

Chapter On
33、e is a brief introduction to Vanity Fair，its original writer William Makepeace Thackeray, as well as to the two translators and their translations. Chapter Two serves as the theoretical frame offering a detailed study of relevant theories of translators subjectivity and Hermeneutics. It involves the
34、 histories of the two theories and how Hermeneutics is applied to the study of translators subjectivity. Chapters Three and Four function as the core part of the thesis, aiming at carrying out ample and in-depth analyses on a great wealth of examples taken from the two Chinese translation versions b
35、eing discussed from hermeneutical perspective. Chapter Three deals with the comparison between the two Chinese versions with a view to bringing forth translators subjectivity by applying George Steiners Fourfold Hermeneutic Translation Motion Theory, which explores into translators subjectivity embo

Chapter Four brings forth the presentation of translators subjectivity as displayed in the two Chinese versions from different aspects on the basis of Gada

A conclusion is drawn at the end of the thesis, that is, translation, from the perspective of Hermeneutics, should b
