内容提要：
当下我们所处的全球化时代，在协商国家与文化空间的过程中，要求对距离进行重新定义。世界在日益缩小，时空距离也随之产生变化，但在文化翻译的语境里，更为深刻的变化是形式、认知、情感和理解等诸方面的距离。局部细节变得愈加不容忽视，虽看似微不足道，但因直接关乎跨文化阅读体验，可对译作的接受产生决定性的影响。为了适应条件和环境的变化，翻译游离于不同的距离之间，在充满动态的空间里复制或制造文化意义。距离也是由差异引致，既是不可译的缘由，也是克服不可译的手段。本讲座试图在认知和实践的层面上，探求距离在翻译过程中是如何运作的。距离和位移息息相关，作者和原作读者的距离与译作读者的距离在性质上可能迥然不同。距离常由错位引致，故易产生疏离感，需要加以调整。本讲座对不同性质的距离进行梳理和归类，以期对进一步研究翻译的性质和问题，提出一些有益的见解。
