Abstract
Most studies of inter-subjectivity are about the translators' subjectivity, which pay less attention to the subjectivity of writers and readers. Some papers center on binary dialogue among translation subjects, and place one subject in the center. Based on Davidson's triangulation model, the paper provides a clearer ternary dialogue for intersubjectivity. Davidson adopts "triangulation" to express the person-person-world interaction in the language communication. Translation, as the cross-cultural communication involving many subjects, is the result of the triangulation among the subjects. Triangulation in translation should be: a writer, a source text and a translator; a translator, a target text and ...
