"三化" 是由著名文学翻译家许渊冲提出的与翻译步骤有关的 “浅化”， “深化”，和 “等化” 三个概念。

Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question states in Chinese: '“三化” is proposed by the famous literary translator Xu Yuanchong and relates to translation steps, referring to the three concepts of shànhuà (浅化 - simplification), shēnhuà (深化 - deepening), and děnghuà (等化 - equivalence/standardization).' To analyze, we consider each option:
Option 1: True. This option asserts that the statement is correct. Historically, Xu Yuanchong is known for introducing and popularizing the notions of 浅化, 深化, and 等化 as principles or processes in translation studies, describing how to adapt meaning, style, and cultural elements across languages. This aligns with his well-documented discussions on translation strategies that aim to render meaning while preserving form and beauty, often framed as a triad of refinement steps. Therefore, keeping in mind Xu Yuanchong’s contributions to translation theory, this option is consistent with the described claim.
Option 2: False. This option would deny the claim that Xu Yuanchong proposed the 三化 concept related to translation steps. The potential pitfalls here include misattributing the ideas to another translator, or misunderstanding the terminology (for example, confusing浅化 with simplification in a general sense rather than as a named framework). If one were to choose this, they would be asserting an incorrect historical attribution or a misdescription of the framework, which contradicts the commonly cited attribution to Xu Yuanchong.
In evaluating the two choices, the core factual issue is attribution: does Xu Yuanchong indeed introduce a 三化 framework comprising 浅化, 深化, and 等化 for translation work? If we accept the established association between Xu Yuanchong and these three concepts as a named framework in translation studies, then the statement in the question is accurate; otherwise, it would be inaccurate. The more plausible and widely recognized interpretation supports the True assessment, while False would rely on an incorrect attribution or misinterpretation of the framework.
Note on potential nuances: some discussions about translation theory might discuss浅化, 深化, and 等化 in related but slightly different contexts or with alternative terminologies. However, given the phrasing in the question, the conventional takeaway is that this 三化 framework is indeed linked to Xu Yuanchong’s proposals in translation studies, making True the appropriate alignment with the described claim.
