关联理论强调语境效果和推理努力,认为话语的理解是一种示意——推理过程,它对文化翻译有着强大的解释能力。译者在翻译过程中,要充分考虑目的语读者的认知语境,恰当处理其中的文化差异,找到最佳文化关联,从而达到最佳交际效果。 Relevance theory emphasizes the effects of context and reasoning, and holds that the understanding of discourse is a schematic-reasoning process, which has strong explanatory power on cultural translation. In the process of translating, the translator should give full consideration to the cognitive context of the target language readers, properly deal with the cultural differences and find the best cultural connections to achieve the best communicative effect.
