互文理论产生于结构主义和后结构主义的大潮中,涉及文本的意义生成、文本的阅读和阐释。互文理论的产生对文学、语言学和翻译研究起了很大的推动作用。互文性在本质上讲应是一种文本意义间的指涉,而这种指涉关系是译者要考虑的主要因素之一。同时它也为我们考察互文连贯提供了理论依据。 Intertextual theory originated in the tide of structuralism and post-structuralism, involving the meaning of text generation, text reading and interpretation. The emergence of intertextual theory plays a great role in literature, linguistics and translation studies. Intertextuality is essentially a kind of reference between textual meanings, which is one of the main factors to be considered by translators. At the same time, it also provides a theoretical basis for our investigation of intertextuality.
