摘要

在国际翻译体系中，英语被描述为扮演着“超中心”的角色。与此同时，翻译在英美文化和出版场景中被视为处于边缘地位。本文旨在重新审视这一观点。在概述了最近关于翻译图书在英语国家出版市场中的作用和意义的研究之后，本文报告了对数据库中可用记录的探索性分析，该数据库收集了自2008年以来在美国出版或发行的翻译图书的信息。分析表明，无论是从翻译作品的数量还是从不同类型的翻译作品的分布来看，翻译在美国市场上都受到了新的关注。

“Visible” at Last? Some Notes on English as a Target Language and Translated Books in the US

In the international system of translations, English has been described as playing a “hypercentral” role. At the same time, translation is seen as playing a marginal role in the Anglo-American cultural and publishing scenarios. The present paper is aimed at revisiting this idea. After an overview of recent studies that have examined the role and significance of translated titles in the publishing markets of English-speaking countries, the paper reports on an exploratory analysis of records available in a database that collects information on books in translation published or distributed in the US starting from 2008. The analysis indicates that translation is enjoying a renewed attention in the US market, in terms of both the number of translated titles and the distribution of translations across different genres.
