对等是翻译领域中长期争论的问题,也是翻译中的难点,因为在某些情况下,对等是不可能完全实现的。本文通过与Nida的功能对等理论和Newmark的等同效果理论的对比,着重讨论了Leo Hickey的言后效果对等理论与对等翻译原则在翻译实践中的应用。言后效果对等理论与对等翻译原则贯穿于翻译的全过程中,能动地指导着翻译实践。 Equivalence is a long-standing issue in the field of translation, and is also a difficult point in translation because in some cases it is impossible to achieve full equivalence. By contrasting with Nida’s functional equivalence theory and Newmark’s equivalent theory of effect, this thesis focuses on Leo Hickey’s post-verbal equivalence theory and its application in translation practice. The theory of post-praxis equivalence and the principle of reciprocal translation run through the whole process of translation and can guide the translation practice.
