本文从后殖民理论家霍米·巴巴的理论出发,分析了赛珍珠《水浒传》译本中的模拟、含混、杂合现象,探讨了赛译水浒的文化意义。译本中的动态的双重模拟所达到的杂合状态不可避免地具有含混特质,这也正是赛译遭受诟病的原因之一,然而赛译本的文化意义正体现在这含混的杂合之中。赛译水浒在模拟、含混、杂合中建立的第三空间承载了文化交流的重负。 Based on Homi Baba ’s theory of post - colonial theorist, this article analyzes the analogy, ambiguity and heterozygosity in Pearl Buck’ s The Water Margin and explores the cultural significance of the translation. It is inevitable that the hybrid state reached by the dynamic double simulation in the translation is one of the reasons why the translation was criticized. However, the cultural meaning of the translation is reflected in the vague heterozygosity. The third space created by Sims Water Margin in the simulations, ambiguities and hybrids bears the weight of cultural exchange.
