摘要(Abstract):
长期以来,西方国家垄断着跨语际实践中的命名权和定义权,导致中国核心文化符号面临系统性表征危机。在人工智能(AI)技术深刻重塑翻译的背景下,AI语料库霸权加剧了西方的语义殖民,形成了对中国知识体系的隐性再编码。破解这一困局需构建“术语标准化-算法纠偏-政策协同”的三维机制。本文突破“归化/异化”的二元对立,在符号学和承认政治理论框架下,提出“翻译即文化主权博弈”的核心命题,旨在为中国打破“被言说”的困境、维护文化主权、构建自主知识体系提供理论依据和实践路径。研究表明,中国译者正从西方语义框架的被动接受者转变为积极的意义重构者,通过符号重构和术语博弈行使文化主权。
Western powers' long-standing monopoly over naming and defining has exposed core Chinese cultural symbols to a systemic crisis of representation in cross-lingual communication. Against the backdrop of AI-driven transformation of translation, the hegemony of AI corpora intensifies Western semantic coloniality, imposing a hidden re-encoding of China's knowledge system. To break this impasse, a three-dimensional mechanism integrating terminology standardization, algorithmic correction and policy coordination must be established. This article, moving beyond the dichotomy of domestication and foreignization, draws on semiotics and the politics of recognition to advance the core proposition that “translation is a contestation of cultural sovereignty.” It is aimed to provide theoretical foundations and practical pathways for China to break free from the predicament of being discursively framed, safeguard its cultural sovereignty, and develop an autonomous knowledge system. The study reveals that Chinese translators are shifting from passive recipients to active meaning reconstructors, thereby exercising cultural sovereignty through symbolic reconstruction and terminological contestation.
