自动化时代翻译价值重构:技术与人力如何共生共进

A technology-oriented mapping of the language and translation industry: Analysing stakeholder values and their potential implication for translation pedagogy

  • 基于29位从业者访谈,分析技术与人力价值在流程中的互动机制
  • 效率成标配,但人类价值转为专家判断、责任担当等隐性能力
  • 适应力成关键桥梁,译者需持续调整技能与身份以应对变革

本文探讨在日益自动化的语言与翻译行业中,价值如何被构建与协商。基于LT-LiDER项目中对29位行业利益相关者的访谈数据,研究分析了不同职业角色中人类价值、技术价值、效率与适应力的表达方式。以Chesterman的翻译伦理框架为分析工具,发现效率导向的技术价值与服务伦理已成自动化生产环境中的基本要求,速度、可扩展性和交付能力成为核心评估标准。与此同时,人类价值并未消失,而是被重新定位,主要体现为专业知识、监督职责、问责机制以及嵌入技术流程中的情境判断。核心发现是适应力作为连接人与技术的中介价值,被建构为核心职业要求,反映出译者需持续调整技能、角色与身份以应对不断变化的工具与组织需求。论文主张,自动化重塑而非取代翻译价值,形成技术效率与人类沟通工作相互依赖的新格局。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This paper examines how value is constructed and negotiated in today's increasingly automated language and translation industry. Drawing on interview data from twenty-nine industry stakeholders collected within the LT-LiDER project, the study analyses how human value, technological value, efficiency, and adaptability are articulated across different professional roles. Using Chesterman's framework of translation ethics and associated values as an analytical lens, the paper shows that efficiency-oriented technological values aligned with the ethics of service have become baseline expectations in automated production environments, where speed, scalability, and deliverability dominate evaluation criteria. At the same time, human value is not displaced but repositioned, emerging primarily through expertise, oversight, accountability, and contextual judgment embedded within technology-mediated workflows. A central finding is the prominence of adaptability as a mediating value linking human and technological domains. Adaptability is constructed as a core professional requirement, reflecting expectations that translators continuously adjust their skills, roles, and identities in response to evolving tools and organisational demands. The paper argues that automation reshapes rather than replaces translation value, creating an interdependent configuration in which technological efficiency enables human communicative work.
