Abstract

Transknowletology has garnered significant academic attention in recent years as an emerging subfield in translation studies. It redefines the essence of translation as a cross-linguistic process of knowledge reproduction, transcending the limitations of traditional language-transfer paradigms. The tripartite framework of “knowledge-language-translator” and the methodological principle of “truth, goodness, and beauty” proposed by Transknowletology offer a novel analytical framework for translation research. Through empirical analysis of applied and comparative studies, it is found that successful knowledge transfer requires a balance among conceptual fidelity, cultural adaptation, and aesthetic representation, thereby establishing a dynamic equilibrium between the knowledge systems of the source and target languages. Against the backdrop of rapid advancements in AI technology, Transknowletology contributes to constructing a translation theory discourse with Chinese characteristics and provides a new analytical framework for understanding cross-cultural knowledge dissemination, holding profound significance for facilitating mutual learning among civilizations.
