5、 a purposeful intercultural communicative acting between individuals instead of something that is done to a text by a translator. Having been trained as an interpreter by Katharina Reiss, Vermeer took up general linguistics, then translation studies and also desired to break with linguistic translat

6、ion theory by proposing a new translation theory. Skopostheorie is explained in detail in the book A Framework for a General Translation Theory co-authored by Vermeer and Reiss in 1984.Part 3 The new theory Skopos theory What is skopos ? Skopos is the Greek word for aim or purpose and was introduced

7、 into translation theory in the 1970s by Hans J. Vermeer as a technical term for the purpose of a translation and of the action of translating .Skopos theorytranslation is a kind of action that has a purpose. The focal points of this theory lie in three aspects: substance of translation, participant

8、s of the process of translation and principles of functional concept of translation. It introduced the idea that a translation should always be conducted to fulfil the purpose of theTT（target text） in the TTs situation. The prime principle determining any translation process is the purpose (Skopos)

9、of the overall translational action.大王有令,有破刺客長空者,賞千金,封千戶侯。By order of His Majesty, he who kills Sky will receive gold and land.這句臺詞中,千金,千戶侯都含有文化信息,若全部保留文化信息,其譯文應(yīng)該是:By order of His Majesty, he who kills Sky will be awarded one thousand tales of gold and be dubbed marquis (爵候，世襲貴族）with a possession of

10、 one thousand households將千金譯為gold,而不是one thousand tales of gold,將萬戶侯譯為land而不是marquis with a possession of one thousand households,顯然是刪減了其中的文化信息,但基本意卻都在,絲毫不影響觀眾對故事的理解。這樣簡單易懂的字幕就能使觀眾更充分的欣賞畫面、色彩和精彩的武打場面。There is no such thing as time travel. 你穿越劇看多了吧。原意是“穿越這種事根本就不存在啊?！薄按┰絼　痹趪鴥?nèi)觀眾中是比較流行的劇種，譯者直接用“穿越劇”來指代“

12、的目的。但通?！澳康摹笔侵缸g文的交際目的。即翻譯過程的發(fā)起者，決定譯文的交際目的，發(fā)起者出于某一特殊需要，在理想狀況下，他會給出需要譯文的原因，譯文接受者、使用譯文的環(huán)境、譯文應(yīng)具有的功能以及與原因有關(guān)的細(xì)節(jié)等。所有這些構(gòu)成了“翻譯要求”。 舉例舉例 We care to provide service above and beyond the call of duty.-ups 一問：殷勤有加，風(fēng)雨不改（UPS快遞） 若直譯這則廣告，應(yīng)是“我們愿意提供高于或者超出責(zé)任感的服務(wù)”。雖然譯文在語義和詞義上都屬于忠誠對等翻譯，但四字結(jié)構(gòu)“殷勤有加，風(fēng)雨不改”更能向目的與消費(fèi)者傳達(dá)該公司的服務(wù)精神，

13、達(dá)到意義上的忠誠，是廣告在目標(biāo)文化的誘惑功能得以最大程度地實(shí)現(xiàn)。Coherence 連貫準(zhǔn)則Coherence （Intratextual Coherence） : a translation should be acceptable in a sense that it is coherent with the receivers situation, being part of the receivers situation.連貫準(zhǔn)則是指譯文必須考慮接受者的背景知識和實(shí)際情況， 最大限度地做到語義連貫， 以便譯文接受者能夠理解其義符合譯入語的表達(dá)習(xí)慣。The target text mus

17、影。Relationships between the three rules It seems that Vermeer prescribes the hierarchical rule in line with action theory and literary reception theory: the Skopos is the boss, intratextual coherence the second and fidelity the lowest; the last two rules are subordinated to the Skopos of the transla

The criteria for the decisions are provided by the skopos, i.e. the concrete purpose and aims in a concrete translation commission. 目的論提供給翻譯界一個更為合理，科

Where there is a way, there is a toyota.車到山前必有路,有路就有豐田車 Apple thinks different. 蘋果電腦,不同凡“想”。(蘋果電腦) Advantage 3 Skopos theory has helped to bring the target text into focus. As a text, a translation is not primarily determined by a source text, but by its own skopos.

21、This axiom provides a theoretical argument for describing translations in terms of original text production and against describing them in the more traditional terms of EQUIVALENCE with another text in another language ( Jakobsen 1993:156). 它把翻譯的定義拓寬了，使得翻譯變成了一種語言和文化的雙轉(zhuǎn)換活動,創(chuàng)新了翻譯理論。For exampleIs life

22、worth living?It depends upon the liver!生命值得活下去嗎？那得看你怎么個活法。（ 那 得 看 你 是 否 心 滿 意足。） Advantage 4 Translators have come to be viewed as target-text authors and have been released from the limitations and restrictions imposed by a narrowly defined concept of loyalty to the source text alone. 目的論提升了譯者的地位。譯

Criticism of skopos theory The emphasis on translat

24、ion purpose has also been the source of many of the objections to its use. Some objections concern the definition of translation and the relationship between source text and target text. Some come mainly from linguistically oriented approaches to translation that focus on bottom-up aspects of text production and reception. Objection 1 It neglected the source text too much, especially in terms of the STs
