摘　　要：蒯因的翻译不确定性不是翻译的不可能性,而是翻译存在多种可能性。彻底翻译中,当下正在发生的观察性语句的翻译是能够最先得到保证的,而理论语句与观察证据之间由于存在不同程度的经验缺口,相同的观察证据并不能唯一地确定理论语句的翻译。翻译的不确定性是根深蒂固的,它不仅存在于彻底翻译中,也同样会发生在我们的母语中,借助分析假设、掌握两种语言、实指兼以询问,以及母语中的个体化装置等方式均无法从根本上消弭翻译的不确定性问题。Quine’s indeterminacy of translation does not refer to impossibility of translation;on the contrary,there are multiple possibilities for translation.In radical translation,translation of observation sentences is easily determined,but there is empirical slack at different degree between the theoretical sentences and the observation evidences,so the same observation evidence does not uniquely determine the translation of the theoretical sentence.The indeterminacy of translation is deep-rooted.It occurs not only in the radical translation,but also in our native language.With the help of analytical hypotheses,mastery of two languages,pointing with querying,and the apparatus of individuation in the native language,we still cannot fundamentally avoid the indeterminacy of translation.
