“信达雅”理论视域下的AI翻译及译后编辑探究——以文学翻译为例

A Study of AI Translation and Post-Editing from the Perspective of the “Faithfulness, Expressiveness, and Elegance” Theory—Taking Literary Translation as an Example

摘要: 在当今这个日新月异的信息化时代，AI翻译于语言服务行业中展现出蓬勃的发展潜力。但AI翻译的质量仍与人工翻译相差甚远。其中，文学翻译的质量较低，译文可读性有待提高。因此，译后编辑成为译者日常工作中不可或缺的一环。文章将以严复的“信达雅”翻译原则为标准，对机器翻译在文学翻译领域的英译进行分析，并进行译后编辑。

Abstract: In today’s rapidly evolving information age, artificial intelligence (AI) translation has demonstrated vigorous development potential in the language services industry. However, the quality of AI translation still falls significantly short of that of human translation. In particular, the quality of literary translation by AI is relatively poor, with its readability needing improvement. Therefore, post-editing has become an essential part of translators’ daily work. The paper will analyze English translations produced by machine translation in the field of literary translation based on Yan Fu’s translation criteria of “faithfulness, expressiveness, and elegance”, and then conduct post-editing.
