讲座主要内容：
The strategy of foreignizing translation is to allow the target reader to experience the original somewhat “directly” in its “authentic” form. It is obvious that foreignization is not unconditionally workable, given the constraints of the target language with its different linguistic and cultural norms and conventions. For an eventual resolution of the age-old impasse of foreignization versus domestication, I propose to introduce the concept of cultural diaspora into Translation Studies, and suggest an alternative perception of translationactivity, with a proper consideration of the historical and social circumstances of reception regarding translation and foreign otherness, particularly of the rapidly changing global movements of people and information. Cultural diaspora in respect to translation entails rethinking cultural identity and moving towards a diasporic register as a remedy for insufficient connections between the source and target cultures by strategically relocating the cultural home of the target reader into a series of different spaces. The increasing deterritorialization inevitably leads to the emergence of cultural hybridization and mixing. And the creation of the multiplicity of transcultural spaces in which to engage otherness allows and enables cultural diversity to thrive and expand. Therefore, the subsequently created “replica” not only represents the salient foreign features of the source text with it most of its essential qualities but also enhance the richness and complexity of the original. As a result, an otherwise disturbingly alien experience can be avoided or reduced, and it should become possible for the target reader to share and savour thus “foreignized” translations that are refreshing, adventurous and inspiring.
