摘　　要：本研究基于眼动追踪、屏幕记录、回溯报告和访谈等方法的多元互证,探究译者在不同翻译方向中自动化加工和控制加工的认知过程和译文质量的差异。研究发现:1)译者在译入方向中的自动化加工能力更强,能为阅读和修改任务配置更多的认知资源;在译出方向中的控制加工强度更大,认知资源配置更多,且主要用于译语转换。2)译入的自动化加工和控制加工质量均高于译出,具体表现在译者对不同层次的源语单位(单词、短语、从句、句子)加工结果的可接受度高于译出,且在语言、概念、修辞层面加工结果的可接受度也远高于译出。探究不同方向的译文产出过程有助于揭示翻译活动背后的认知机制,加深对翻译本质的理解。This study attempts to explore the differences in cognitive process and translation quality between automated processing and controlled processing in two translation directions by triangulating eye-tracking,screen recording,retrospective protocols,and interviews.The results show that:1)Translators were more capable of automated processing in L1 translation and allocated more cognitive resources to reading and revising.They tended to have more controlled processing in L2 translation and allocated more cognitive resources to transferring.2)The quality of L1 translation was higher than that of L2 translation.Specifically,the acceptability of L1 translation in the automatic processing at the levels of words,phrases,clauses,and sentences was higher than that of L2 translation.The acceptability of L1 translation in controlled processing on the linguistic,conceptual,and rhetorical levels was also much higher than that of L2 translation.This study explores the cognitive mechanisms underlying translation,providing deeper insight into the translation process.
