摘　　要：知识产生后往往就会被翻译,通过翻译活动进而被广泛传播。知识与翻译的关系密切,二者相互渗透,在知识生产中有翻译活动,在翻译活动中有知识生产。本文以明清数学翻译为中心来讨论知识的翻译与翻译的知识,其中,知识的翻译是指数学知识的翻译实践,翻译的知识是指翻译过来的数学知识。明清两朝的数学翻译是我国系统翻译西方数学知识的两次高潮,在这两次大规模的数学翻译实践过程中,都面临着一些知识与翻译的具体问题,解决这些问题也就解决了明清数学翻译中的核心问题。本研究通过分析明清数学翻译实践中知识的翻译与翻译的知识发现,明清两朝的数学翻译逐步形成了数学知识翻译的基本理论,为我国引入了新的数学知识,从而形成了中国数学新知识体系,也为中国数学学科体系的形成奠定了坚实的基础。Knowledge,once generated,is often quickly followed by translation,which facilitates its wide dissemination.The relationship between knowledge and translation is intimate,permeating each other:translation activities are embedded in the production of knowledge and vice versa.This paper focuses on the translation of mathematical works during the Ming and Qing dynasties to discuss the translation of knowledge and the knowledge obtained through translation.Here,the translation of knowledge refers to the practical translation of mathematical knowledge,while the knowledge of translation refers to the mathematical knowledge translated.The translation of mathematical works during the Ming and Qing dynasties marked two climaxes in China's systematic translation of Western mathematical knowledge.In these two large-scale translation practices,specific problems regarding knowledge and translation were encountered.Solving these problems signifies the resolution of the fundamental issues in the translation of mathematical works during the Ming and Qing dynasties.By analyzing the translation of knowledge and the knowledge from translation in the practice of mathematical translation during these two dynasties,this study concludes that the translation of mathematical works during these two dynasties gradually formed the basic theory of translating mathematical knowledge.Furthermore,it introduced new mathematical knowledge to China,contributing to the formation of a new system of mathematical knowledge and laying a solid foundation for the development of China's mathematical discipline system.
