Abstract

The problem of translation confronts every English, or French-language reader of Geschlecht III, from its title page on, by way of Derrida’s decision not to translate the German noun Geschlecht. In this paper, I explore the stakes of Derrida’s refusal to translate, by situating it within the context of the 1984–5 seminar, ‘Philosophical Nationality and Nationalism’, from which the text of Geschlecht III was taken. I show that the question of translation is already at the heart of that seminar, which concerns the place of the idiom in philosophy, and why approaching the difficulty posed by the untranslatability of a term like Geschlecht might be the very objective of Derrida’s reading of Heidegger on Trakl.
德里达《概论三》中翻译的空谈
翻译的问题困扰着每一个读《Geschlecht III》的英语或法语读者,从它的扉页开始,德里达决定不翻译德语名词Geschlecht。在本文中,我探讨了德里达拒绝翻译的利害关系,通过将其置于1984-5年研讨会的背景下,“哲学民族与民族主义”,《Geschlecht III》的文本就是从这个研讨会中获得的。我指出,翻译的问题已经是研讨会的核心,它涉及到习语在哲学中的地位,以及为什么解决像《Geschlecht》这样的术语的不可译性所带来的困难,可能是德里达阅读海德格尔《论特拉克》的真正目标。
