| 摘要 | Archaeological interpretation is arguably, at its core, an act of cultural translation: a tri-modal semiotic, contextual, and diachronic decoding of material remains that recasts ancient lifeworlds for present-day audiences. As a preliminary attempt to test this argument, this article applies a tri-modal model of cultural translation – semiotic decoding, contextual negotiation, and diachronic transformation – by analyzing across three case sites: Göbekli Tepe (ritual symbolism that resists direct gloss), Angkor Wat (architectural hybridity forged in a cultural third space), and the Dead Sea Scrolls (textual-material entanglement). Comparative analysis exposes patterned ‘interpretive resistance’ and curator bias, showing that what cannot be cleanly translated often drives deeper insight rather than failure. The study demonstrates how archaeology, as a form of cultural translation, negotiates meaning across millennia through iterative re-contextualization, and how these negotiations inform modern identity formation and historical consciousness. The outcome is a diachronic, Translation-Studies-inflected model that sharpens archaeological hermeneutics while extending translation theory beyond language into lived material worlds. |
