乔治·斯坦纳解释运作理论视角下汉英法律翻译中译者的主体性

rformed on languages: a process of substituting a text in onelanguage for text in another” (63). And translator as the operator of translation haslong been regarded as a subordinate role or even an invisible one during thetranslation activities. John Dryden described the translator as the portrait painterwhose duty is to make his portrait resemble the original, and so is the translator (ascited in Tan Zaixi, 2000: 39). In his point of view, a translator’s task is to repeatexactly what the author has said instead of explaining what the author means.Lawrence Venuti (1992) also remarks: “the translator is thus subordinate to the author[ … ].The translator's authorship is never given full legal recognition ” (126).“Translation continues to be an invisible practice, everywhere around us, inescapablypresent, but rarely acknowledged, almost never figured into discussions of thetranslations we all inevitably read”(Venuti,1992: 10). In this rather long period ofhistory in the west, translator as the subject and operator of translation activities wasneglected in the translation study.

2.2 Recognition of the Translator’s Subjectivity in Legal Translation
Study on translator’s subjectivity has draw many translation scholars’ attentionin recent years and their researches have largely contributed to the development oftranslation study. However, studies on the translator’s subjectivity are still in the earlystage, more efforts are expected to be made both in theory and practice. We shouldacknowledge that studies on translator’s subjectivity are partial and scattered, notsystematic and comprehensive. Besides, most studies on the translator’s subjectivityare only limited to the literary translation, rarely observed in pragmatic translation,especially in legal translation. According to the statistics obtained from CNKI, journalarticles and theses related to the translator’s subjectivity have amounted to more than8000 pieces up to now. Only less than 50 papers or articles are themed by translator’ssubjectivity in legal translation. The statistics show that studies on the translator’ssubjectivity in legal translation still have a lot of room and necessity. There are somescholars who have studied the translator’s subjectivity in legal translation. Huang Wei(2002) explored the translator’s creativity in legal translation in his paper On theCreativity of Legal Translators. Creativity as a key aspect of translator’s subjectivityis rarely discussed in legal translation.
