文化翻译：理论与实践（讲义） 左 飚 翻译是跨文化交际活动，译者是文化中介人。 Translation is intercultural communication and the translator is a cultural mediator. 1、翻译是中介人 The Translator as a Mediator - The translator is a bilingual mediating agent between monolingual communication participants in two different language communities. George Steiner (1975) 译者是两个不同语言群体的单语交际者之间的双语中介人。 The translator is first and foremost a mediator between two parties for whom mutual communication might otherwise be problematic.

Shuttleworth Cowie 2004 文化翻译是指任何不仅对语言成分而且对文化成分进行敏锐处理的翻译。这种敏锐处理表现为以明白易懂的译文向译入语读者介绍源语文化，或者在译入语中找到在某种程度上文化“对等”的成分。 Cultural translation refers to any translatio
