无论是“古—今”还是“中—外”的学术译介,无疑都是转型中国的核心工程之一。然而,在这一过程中,因概念套用所必然带来的含义遮蔽、混淆等问题,却尚未引起足够的重视。以“封建”一词的古今及中外对译问题为例,一方面,尽管它在古今汉语语境中具有明显不同的意蕴,应当区分语境分别使用相应的含义,但是《宪法》所使用的含义却是上升至法律层面的规范含义;另一方面,尽管“封建”一词至少用于三种语义,而英文单词“feudalism”则有其西方文化背景,往往有其特定的含义,并且这种特定含义与当前汉语语境中的任何一个“封建”都无法形成较为严谨的对应关系。然而,当前通行做法却是几乎不作说明地将两词互译。严肃的学术译介态度必须回到术语或概念背后的文化指涉、社会生活层面上。 Whether it is “ancient - present” or “medium - foreign” academic translation, is undoubtedly one of the transformation of China’s core project. However, in this process, issues such as obscuring and confusing the concepts that are inevitable due to the concept application have not yet received sufficient attention. Take the ancient and modern translation of the term “feudal” as an example to the issue of translating between Chinese and foreign countries. On the one hand, although it has obviously different meanings in ancient and modern Chinese contexts, it is necessary to distinguish contexts from corresponding meanings respectively. However, The meaning of use is up to the normative meaning of the legal level; on the other hand, although the term “feudal” is used for at least three semantics, the English word “feudalism” has its own western cultural background and often has its own Specific meaning, and this specific meaning and any one of the current Chinese context “feudal ” can not form a more rigorous correspondence. However, the current practice is to translate the two words almost without explanation. Serious academic translation of the attitude must be back to the terminology or concept of cultural reference, the level of social life.
