德里达《巴别塔》的翻译思想
The Translation Thought of Derrida's ＂Des Tours de Babel＂
摘要
德里达的《巴别塔》一文围绕着“巴别＂既指“变乱＂又是上帝自己的名字这个阐释困境，集中讨论了翻译过程中语言本义流失的问题。德里达认为，上帝通过“巴别＂的命名，一方面是摧毁了犹太人创建世界语言的意图；另一方面也在巴别塔的消解中迫使犹太人屈从翻译的规律。但翻译既是势在必然，又是不可能的行为。德里达引用本雅明《翻译家的任务》一文，说明翻译有似一种债务，它同接受、交流和再现都没有关系；而说到底翻译就是阐释，翻译之不可能，一如一劳永逸的阐释之不可能；翻译之必须，也一如文字非经解读无以达意的阐释之必须。但是说到底，翻译是承诺了一个不同语言彼此妥协的王国，构成一个更伟大整体的两个有机组成部分。

Concentrated on the dilemma around ＂Babel,＂ which on one hand signifies ＂confusion＂, on the other hand is the name of God himself, Derrida's ＂Des Tours des Babel＂ demonstrates the impossibility and necessity of translation. In naming and then deconstructing the tower of Babel, God destroys the Semitic ambition of establishing a universal language, and also constrains Jews to the law of translation. Inspired by Walter Benjamin's essay ＂The Task of the Translator＂, Derrida argues that translation is like a debt which could neither be representative nor reproductive. After all, it is an interpretation which promises a kingdom to the reconciliation of languages; it is the promise of adjoining, coupling, and marrying two languages like two parts of a greater whole.
