On the Inter―subjectivity in Translation Viewed From “Distance” in Triangulation Model 　　Abstract 　　Davidson constructs the triangulation model to express the person-person-world interaction in the language communication. This paper discusses the inter-subjectivity among translation subjects based on Davidson’s triangulation model. No translation can be appropriately generated without inter-subjectivity activities. The triangulation model provides a three-dimensional perspective for discussing the interactions among a writer， a source text， a translator， a target text and a target reader. 　　Davidson introduces “distance” and “width” to solve the ambiguity of the cause concept， and this paper focuses on “distance” and creates translation subjects’ triangulation. The paper explores how to achieve the best translation through adjusting the distance to approach the optimized triangle by analyzing the translation practice of Jane Austen’s Emma and aims at guiding the practices using triangulation model. 　　Key words： Translation； Triangulation； Inter-subjectivity； Distance 　　ZHAO Yushan， ZHU Hongjing （2013）.On the Inter-subjectivity in Translation： Viewed From “Distance” in Triangulation Model.

Of these inter-subjective studies， most of them are inclined to state the evolvement of inter-subjectivity， or describe the inter-subjectivity from philological， structural linguistic or deconstructive perspective. This paper goes beyond previous studies and applies Davidson’s Triangulation model of communication by language to inter-subjectivity. It not only broadens and deepens inter-subjectivity， but also guides the disci
