“质的准则”是英国语言哲学家格赖斯在语用学会话原则中提出的四个准则之一。它对翻译实践的启发体现在能够帮助译者决定怎样对待原文。究其实质,原文展示的内容是作者与潜在读者的对话。为了再现其内容,译者的翻译准则不可避免地会最大限度利用语境并与作者沟通。另外,准确把握原文语言所述的知识,也是译者获取质的一个重要因素。这意味着译者过多地假定读者的知识会造成他们理解上的困难。由此可见,翻译理论对于质的准则概念与语用学的内涵有相似之处,但它们分别有自己独特的准则。以《金色笔记》为语料的译文研究,旨在说明支配翻译行为的规则取决于原作品及作者而非译者。换言之,译者侵入文本的主观性越强,质的损失就越大。 “Quality Criteria ” is one of the four criteria proposed by the English philosopher Grice in his pragmatic discourse principle. Its inspiration for translation practice is to help the translator decide what to do with the original text. The substance of the text, the original display content is the dialogue between the author and potential readers. In order to reproduce its content, the translator’s translation guidelines will inevitably maximize the use of context and communication with the author. In addition, accurately grasping the knowledge in the original language is also an important factor for translators to acquire quality. This means that the translator’s excessive assumption that the reader’s knowledge will cause them to understand the difficulties. This shows that translation theory has similarities to the conceptions of qualitative principles and pragmatics, but each has its own unique criterion. A translation study based on “Golden Notes” aims to show that the rules that dominate translation depend on the original work and the author rather than the translator. In other words, the more subjectivity the translator intrusions into the text, the greater the loss of quality.
