翻译活动是一种伦理活动。“文化大革命”时期,中国的翻译伦理主要表现在“从”与“忠”两个方面,“从”是指对读者和赞助人的“依从、服从、遵从”;而“忠”则指对原文文本和原作者的“忠实”。“文化大革命”时期“从”和“忠”的翻译伦理综合反映出了翻译与政治合流的特征。译作只有坚持遵循与主流政治意识形态相吻合的翻译伦理,才能在“文化大革命”时期得以生存和发展。对“文化大革命”时期翻译伦理的研究可以使中国的翻译理论体系更加完善和系统化。 Translation is an ethical activity. During the “Cultural Revolution”, China’s translation ethics mainly manifested in two aspects: “from ” and “loyalty ”, “from ” refers to the reader and patronage of “compliance, obedience, compliance ”; And “ loyalty ”refers to the original text and the original author “ loyalty ”. The ethics of translation in the period of “Cultural Revolution” “from ” and “loyalty ” reflects the characteristics of the combination of translation and politics. Only by persisting in following the translation ethics which is consistent with the mainstream political ideology can the translation survive and develop during the “Cultural Revolution”. The study of translation ethics during the “Cultural Revolution” can make China’s translation theory system more perfect and systematic.
