“叙事建构”视阈下利玛窦的译介身份——以《坤舆万国全图》为例
Narrative Identity of Matteo Ricci from the Perspective of “Narrative Construction”—Taking Great Universal Geographic Map as an Example

利玛窦作为明末中西文明交流互通的第一人，利氏译著的《坤舆万国全图》第一次突破了国人“天下观”的眼界限制，创造了明末西学东渐过程中“世界意识”的思想启蒙。利玛窦在其译介活动中具有多重身份，从叙事理论的角度来看，利玛窦不再单纯地凭借其译者身份将西方科学通过翻译转换为国人可以识别的文字，而是通过多重叙事身份的建构与结合，在其译著中进行有选择的“再叙事”。为了进一步对利玛窦译介活动中所建构的不同身份进行研究，本文将以利氏《坤舆万国全图》为例，借用蒙娜·贝克(Mona Baker)的叙事建构理论对利玛窦在《坤舆万国全图》译介中的叙事身份进行解析，探究更多非文本因素对其身份建构的影响。以史为鉴，借以利玛窦叙事身份的建构总结历史经验，并在此基础上阐释叙事身份建构在当代文明交流互鉴背景下的启示。
Matteo Ricci, as the first person of Chinese and Western civilization exchange at the end of the Ming Dynasty, Matteo Ricci’s translation of Great Universal Geographic Map broke through the limitations of the “World Awareness” for the first time, and created a “World Awareness” enlightenment in the process of Western learning spreading to the East at the end of the Ming Dynasty. Matteo Ricci had multiple identities in his translation activities. From the perspective of narrative theory, Matteo Ricci no longer purely relied on his identity as a translator to convert Western science into words recognizable to the Chinese, but rather, through the construction and combination of multiple narrative identities, he carried out a selective “re-narrative” in his translations. In order to further study the different identities constructed in Matteo Ricci’s translation activities, this paper will take Matteo Ricci’s Great Universal Geographic Map as an example, and borrow Mona Baker’s theory of narrative construction to analyze Matteo Ricci’s narrative identity in his translation of Great Universal Geographic Map, and explore the influence of more non-textual factors on his identity construction. Taking history as a reference, we summarize the historical experience of Matteo Ricci’s narrative identity construction, and on the basis of this, we explain the revelation of narrative identity construction in the context of contemporary civilization exchanges and mutual understanding.
