縱觀二十世紀香港文學的外譯研究，著名詩人兼學者梁秉鈞（也斯，1948-2013）佔 有重要位置。他不僅從翻譯自身的文學作品思考文化跨越的問題，更從日常生活和歷史 處境反思薩依德 (Edward W. Said, 1935-2003)「東方學」式的文化批判。九十年代以降， 德國漢學家顧彬 (Wolfgang Kubin) 及法國漢學家居里安 (Annie Curien) 著手翻譯也斯的 創作，並研究其文化批評的觀點，由此構成一段多重定位的跨文化對話。本文將探討以 下問題：一、兩位學者如何從歐洲文化中心的位置以及德、法兩地固有的文學傳統，理 解和詮釋也斯的文學及文化觀點；二、他們如何通過也斯的創作重構香港文學以及它在 中國現代文學版圖之中的位置；三、他們怎樣通過帝國主義文化的「雙重」他者──歐 洲和中國大陸的邊緣位置，思考世界文學的可能性。

When studying the translation of twentieth-century Hong Kong literature, we cannot help but turn our attention to Leung Ping-kwan 梁秉鈞 (Ye Si 也斯, 1948- 2013), a renowned Hong Kong poet and scholar. Ye Si reinvestigated the transgression of cultural boundaries through translating his own literary works. Based on his daily life experiences and fully aware of the historical context, he also re-examined the cultural criticism that developed from Edward W. Said’s (1935-2003) theory of Orientalism. Since the 1990s, two Sinologists from the center of European cultures, Wolfgang Kubin of Germany and Annie Curien of France, have started translating Ye Si’s literary works and investigating his cultural perspectives, eventually developing an intercultural dialogue with him. This paper explores how Kubin and Curien, by making reference to their own German and French literary traditions, understand and interpret Ye Si’s literary and cultural perspectives. It further studies how they reconstruct Hong Kong literature and remap it in the frame of modern Chinese literature. Finally, this paper investigates how they re-examine the possibility of the concept of “world literature” by making reference to the literature of Hong Kong, a literature sprung from a city that is marginalized by both the European continent and Mainland China.
