Abstract


Since translated by the writer to translate their own work, their creative subject and translate the main the same, is a special form of translation. Although academia many scholars person operation pen the academic translation published in foreign journals, but the type of self-translation and this research literature since translated quite different: the former generally have a fixed pattern and requirements, comparative mechanical; since the latter requires the translator minimum wear and tear to accurately convey the original implication and spirit. Literature since the translator has a deep and thorough understanding of their own original translation, he would consciously take effective elastic translation expression casual, free and easy, full of changes, and played with a great deal of subjectivity. Translation Studies since the 1970s after the \Chinese and foreign scholars discuss in depth from a different perspective at all levels of the subjectivity of the translator. Which hermeneutics disciplines as a unison significance of understanding and interpretation, translation studies and even translators' subjectivity brought a new perspective. Gadamer hermeneutics core view \specific process, these theories are laid the foundation for the study of literary translation subjectivity. Set of writers translator since the translator in a special position, more initiative and creativity in translation than his translator, often for the world immortal translated. But so far, at home and abroad since the translation of research focuses on case studies, often from a particular perspective to examine a specific self-translated writers translated, while little attention from the subjectivity of the translator. Therefore, this paper, according to Steiner's interpretation of the operation of the four-step - trust, intrusive, absorption, and compensation, combined with Gadamer \to explore, to gradually reveal Xiao Qian subjectivity play in the process of self-translation and constraints. First of all, as a self-translator, Xiao Qian own original trust is sufficient, because of his wisdom, experience, and crystallization of the art works are full of a certain value. Second, due to differences in culture, religion, language, Xiao Qian versed in the target language prejudices of the reader in understanding are intrusive, deliberately misreading try digestion estrangement, and positive cultural filtering to achieve translation sight and asked readers depending on the threshold of the perfect fusion. At the same time as a bilingual, bicultural media, he will actively adopt various translation strategies and means to absorb the content and form of the original, sought to reproduce the original to appreciate its beauty. Three steps above interpretation inevitably bring to the absence of the original text, since the translator Xiao Qian also must compensate in order to achieve language, cultural transplant. Xiao Qian since the translation works, the author explores the subjectivity play in the process of self-translation, Xiao Qian and its constraints, so as to arrive to the literature since Translator enjoy more space and freedom of interpretation, and their means of self-translation correction supplement, enhance and even improve the original text, its subjectivity and creativity has been maximized. Translation of the translation phenomenon since the liberation of the translator thinking, make them aware of the literary translation should have more than one mode, you should try a variety of different translation, toward a dynamic description of the translation theory and standards from the static normative sex. At the same time, it is also for literary translation \translation studies and practice toward a dynamic, harmonious balance.
