英译学术论文摘要【十六】

在中国的学术评价机制中，有一种约定俗成的惯例，那就是在考量学术成果时只认可原创作品，“翻译不算成果”成了学术评价惯例。其实，优秀的翻译，是一种再创造。翻译工作也是一项原创性很强的活动，好的译作融入了译者在该领域内的研究成果，体现了其专业素养。因此，重要名著及学术理论著作的翻译，应当作为学术成果，尤其在人文领域这种必要性更加凸显。一个好的翻译家，其价值绝不亚于一个作家，因为翻译可能比写作更困难，应该给予翻译家同样的荣誉、同样的尊重。

按：二十余年来，业余翻译或校对哲学、社会科学等人文学术期刊和师友论文摘要。至今已经译校不少篇什。它们或长或短，或深奥艰涩，或浅显易懂，却都是经过一番努力，数度推敲，几经润色定稿的。不过，最初几年的译校系手写，故均已散佚。1996年换笔改用电脑后虽然数次更换机器，多次重装或升级系统，其中也有散佚，但绝大多数仍保存于硬盘。今特选择自认为比较忠实原文者，分批转帖，名之为《英译学术论文摘要》，以期方家哂正。下面是其十六。——啮书轩主人启。

英译学术论文摘要【十六】

原文 

一、鲁迅早年对科学僭越的“时代病”之预感

鲁迅在上个世纪初写有《文化偏至论》《科学史教篇》等文，怀疑科学、物质文明无节制的极大发展，可能会构成对人生的一种“威胁”，他提醒如果片面地追求科学和物质文化，可能带来负面的影响和潜在的危害。鲁迅早年对科技偏至“时代病”的感悟和思考，对当今也还有尖锐的警示性。

二、论《废都》《白鹿原》性叙述中的性别政治

1990年代以来活跃在性叙述行列中的作家，除了钟情于都市生活的青年作家，还有贾平凹、陈忠实等执着于乡土写作的中年作家。贾平凹为那些深陷在消费文化“废都”里、而且被消费文化“废掉”了政治话语权力的精英知识分子或者说男性文化英雄量身打造了一个性神话；陈忠实在“白鹿原”上为践行传统儒家文化的仁人君子建造了一座性道德丰碑。与1960-1980年代出生的青年作家相比，性在1950年代作家笔下牵连着更多的历史与现实，绝不仅仅是单纯谋取快感的消费品，而是历史与文化的多重象喻。不过，他们的作品也沾染了消费文化时代的性狂欢印记，其笔下的性叙述也透露着男权文化的性别政治。

I.                   Presentiment of the ‘Era Disease’ of the Arrogation of Science

of Lu Xun in His Early Years

鲁迅早年对科学僭越的“时代病”之预感

At the beginning of the 20th century, Lu Xun wrote “Talking about Cultural Deviation” and “On History of Science” and other essays, suspecting that the overwhelming development of science and material culture without any temperance may become a ‘threaten’ to human lives. He cautioned that negative effects and potential harms might be brought about if science and material culture were one-sidedly pursued. His perception and thinking on the ‘era disease’ of deviation of science still remain a kind of poignant warning to us today.

II.                Gender Politics in the Sex Narrative

of  An Abandoned City and The White Deer Plain

论《废都》《白鹿原》性叙述中的性别政治

Among the ranks of writers active in sexual narrative since 1990’s, middle-aged writers who hold on to local literature as Jia Pingwa, Chen Zhongshi and others are to be found in addition to the young writers who hang onto urban life. Jia has tailored a so-called sex myth for the elite intellectuals of political discourse power or the heroes of patriarchal culture who are obsessed with the “abandoned city” of consumer culture and are “abandoned” by this culture while Chen has built a monument of sexual morality on his “White Deer Plain” for men of noble character who practice traditional Confucian culture. Compared with the young writers born from the 1960’s through the 1980’s, sex in the works of writers during the 1950’s involves more history and reality. That is to say, their works are a multiple image of history and culture instead of merely consumer goods for the sake of pleasure. However, their works are left with the mark of sex orgy of the consumer age of culture, and the sex narrative of theirs discloses the gender politics of patriarchal culture.
