摘要
本研究以互文性理论为框架，以香港大埔宏福苑火灾系列政府双语新闻公报为语料，从中英应急文本在术语策略、句法结构、情感表达、叙事逻辑和权威构建等方面差异角度，分析翻译中互文性理论如何助力翻译策略的选择。研究表明，应急翻译是对源文本进行的一种既能保证在目标语境中可理解，又能保证与源语境战略性互文的翻译实践。译者必须在目标语文化的互文网络中，为源语信息寻找功能对等的表达方式，但又需要保持对源官方文本在叙事逻辑和权威构建上的高度忠诚。因为应急语言是官方话语，翻译肩负信息转达和立场定位的双重功能。将中国式行政权威叙事逻辑移植到英语的话语体系中，是对目标语的战略性互文“背离”，也是构建语言自信、文化自信的必要路径。本研究为理解应急翻译提供了深刻的理论视角，并为相关实践与培训提供了策略性启示。

Abstract
This study adopts the framework of intertextuality theory to analyze the bilingual government bulletins issued during the Hong Kong Tai Po Wang Fuk Court fire. By examining the differences between Chinese and English emergency texts in terms of terminology, syntactic structure, emotional expression, narrative logic, and authority construction, the research explores how intertextuality informs the selection of translation strategies. The findings reveal that emergency translation must ensure comprehensibility within the target context while maintaining strategic intertextual ties with the source context. Translators are tasked with finding functionally equivalent expressions within the target culture, while preserving high fidelity to the narrative logic and authority construction of the source text. As emergency language constitutes institutional discourse, translation serves the dual function of information relay and stance positioning. Transplanting the logic of Chinese administrative authority into an English discourse system constitutes a strategic intertextual “deviation” from target-language norms, yet it is also a necessary pathway toward building discourse and culture confidence. This study offers a robust theoretical lens for emergency translation and provides strategic implications for related practice and training.
