文学经典的翻译是促进文学与文化交流的重要途径。佛典汉译是中印文学文化交流史上的高峰。近百年来,除《道德经》、唐诗、鲁迅之外,大部分古代、现当代汉文学经典在印度处于翻译缺失状态。中印文学传统和审美追求的差异、当代印度更关注中国的政经时事均是造成这种局面的原因。但最根本的原因在于印度国民文化过度自豪的心态,这种文化心理导致了印度文化在面对汉文学经典时的选择性失明。印度文化历史悠久,并对南亚、东南亚地区有深远影响,但过度自豪阻碍了它与其他东方国家之间正常的双向文学交流。 The translation of literary classics is an important way to promote the exchange of literature and culture. The translation of Buddhist scriptures is the peak of the history of Sino-Indian literary and cultural exchanges. In the last hundred years, most of the ancient and modern Chinese literary classics were in a state of lack of translation in India, except for the Tao Te Ching, the Tang Poetry and Lu Xun. The difference between the traditional Chinese and Indian literary traditions and the pursuit of beauty, the fact that contemporary India is more concerned about China’s political and economic events are the reasons for this situation. However, the most fundamental reason is that India’s national culture is overly proud. This cultural psychology has led to the selective blindness of Indian culture in the face of the classic Chinese literature. Indian culture has a long history and profound influence on South Asia and Southeast Asia. However, over-pride hinders its normal two-way literary exchange with other East countries.
