譯者的能動性：以台灣譯者劉維人、林蔚昀與尉遲秀為例

Abstract

數十年來，聚焦譯者主體性的學術研究逐漸增加，譯者的能見度也日益提升。然而，當譯者不再是徹底隱形的角色，是否就能提高自身在供應鏈中的地位，並且在世界上發揮影響力？為了考察譯者能如何根據自身意志與價值觀來採取行動、創造變革，本文爬梳譯者能動性、行動主義與副文本理論的相關研究，並採訪台灣譯者劉維人、林蔚昀和尉遲秀，探討他們如何透過翻譯工作與相關活動來改革社會、教育與翻譯產業。本文運用翻譯學與社會學觀點形塑訪談與分析結果，謹盼研究成果能讓譯者在思考職涯時有更多依據，並引發關於「譯者能動性」的進一步研究。

Over the past few decades, an increasing number of studies have delved into the subjectivity of translators, elevating their visibility and role. However, this enhanced recognition does not necessarily guarantee a higher status in the supply chain or a greater ability to effect change. To explore how translators can maximize their impact, this thesis draws on the research on translators’ agency and activism along with the paratext theory. Most importantly, this thesis conducts interviews with three Taiwanese translators––Liu Weijen, Wei-Yun Lin, and Waits Xiu ––who have leveraged their careers to improve society, education, and the translation industry. Through the lens of translation and sociological studies, this thesis analyzes the data from first-hand interviews, translations, and relevant activities, uncovering how the professional journeys of these translators demonstrate agency and activism. It is hoped that the findings will spark further research on this topic and inspire translators to incorporate the insights gained into their own career paths.
