“文化自覺”的翻譯觀與《道德經(jīng)》中“有無”的翻譯——以安樂哲、郝大維《道德經(jīng)》英譯為例

摘要：

“有”和“無”是一對重要的哲學(xué)概念。如何理解這一對概念以及它們與“道”的關(guān)系，是解讀《道德經(jīng)》的關(guān)鍵。安樂哲和郝大維的《道德經(jīng)》英譯專門討論了這一對概念，并提出了“無為”等一系列以“無”與其他名詞構(gòu)成的詞組串，以此來強(qiáng)調(diào)“無”的思想在《道德經(jīng)》中的重要地位，表明了譯者們與西方分析哲學(xué)的分裂以及與過程哲學(xué)的貼近，且考慮了翻譯的創(chuàng)新功能，是具有“文化自覺”意識的英譯。

關(guān)鍵詞：

《道德經(jīng)》;“有”﹔“無”﹔文化自覺
