【个人简介】

莫冉教授为国际知名学、知名汉学家、同济大学外国语学院特聘教授、国家语言文字科研机构•同济大学中国对外话语体系研究中心的副主任、宁波大学中国文学翻译雪漠研究中心特聘研究员。他的职业生涯致力于促进中国与世界之间的相互理解，在全球舞台上讲好中国故事，并通过翻译、教育和学术研究推动中外人文交流。

他既有扎实的翻译理论功底，又有出色的翻译实践水平，多年来深耕中国文化外译研究，主持和参与各类国际翻译研讨会与文学交流活动，不遗余力地传播中国文学与文化。他是唯一一位中英意为工作语言的意籍国际会议口译员协会（AIIC）成员，也是英国皇家语言学家学会会士（FCIL）特许语言学家、世界翻译教育联盟（WITTA）常务理事及《国际翻译与全球传播学刊》执行主编。2025年7月21日，莫冉教授（Prof. Dr. Riccardo Moratto）荣获中国作家协会颁发的“中国文学之友”（Friend of Chinese Literature Award）荣誉称号，“以表彰汉学家们在翻译传播中国文学方面的辛勤付出和卓越成就”。

在翻译研究领域，莫冉教授具有深厚的专业造诣，研究架起了中国文学与全球翻译研究之间的桥梁。他发表了150多篇学术论文及40多本著作，为推动中国文化及其与世界互动的理解提供了开创性见解。他还担任上海外语教育出版社“口译研究”书系主编，以及英国劳特利奇出版社“东亚口译研究” 、“跨学科与跨文化视角下的中国文学” 和“文学、翻译与国际传播”三大系列丛书的总主编，为中国学术和文学的全球传播打造重要平台。他最新出版的中文口译研究专著《汉语口译：策略与教学方法》为学界了解翻译学科前沿发展提供了宝贵参考。该书已分别以意大利语和英语出版，目前正译成其他五种以上语言。

在翻译实践中，莫冉教授不仅曾翻译魏晋时期文学家阮籍的诗歌，更聚焦中国当代文学的国际推广，其译文准确、文字生动、表达贴切、艺术感染力强，展现其对中文以及中国文化的深刻了解。他将王国维、胡适、李敬泽、汤素兰、韩少功、苏童、李洱、小白、林白、陈浩基、阿乙、朱天文、紀蔚然等知名中国作家的作品，有力推动中国文化的传播。他还将《习近平讲故事》翻译成意大利文，得到意大利翻译界、出版界以及文化界的一致认可，增进全球读者对中国当代社会与文化的理解与欣赏。他也是唯一一位在中国出版两本以中文撰写之散文集的外籍人士：《没在怕！有话直说的勇气》《译多看不见的花》，作家李洱曾评论其汉语表达能力“足以与中国最优秀的作家相比”。

莫冉教授还是一位翻译教育者，在培养翻译与口译领域的未来人才方面发挥了关键作用。他设计并教授了结合理论与实践的专业课程，为学生应对现实挑战做好准备。他与贝加莫大学、威尼斯大学等许多意大利大学建立交流合作，并常常以“中国故事”作为报告或授课主题。值得一提的是，他曾指导学生在第八届海峡两岸口译大赛华中赛区湖南选拔赛中荣获特等奖，充分展现其致力于培养新一代口译人才，以在国际舞台上有效讲述中国故事的奉献精神。

莫冉教授对华友好，推进中意跨文化传播和交流。他曾多次接受国内外知名媒体的采访，《中国社会科学报》两次刊发其专访。在他看来，外国人要想讲好中国故事，唯有融入中国文化，亲身体验中文的无穷魅力，同时在观念上不断更新对中国的认识，在行动上紧跟时代发展步伐。他致力于推动各类中意文化合作，为中国文学、文化在意大利的传播与中意文化的交流互鉴做出了突出贡献。

Riccardo Moratto is an internationally renowned scholar and renowned sinologist, Distinguished Professor at the School of Foreign Languages at Tongji University and Vice Director of the Research Center for Chinese Discourse and Global Communication, Senior Research Fellow at the Xue Mo Center for Chinese Literature Translation (Ningbo University), former Full Professor at the Graduate Institute of Interpretation and Translation, Shanghai International Studies University. His career has been dedicated to fostering mutual understanding between China and the world, telling China’s stories on a global stage, and promoting meaningful cultural exchanges through translation, education, and scholarship.

   He has a solid foundation in translation theory and outstanding practical translation skills. Over the years, he has focused on the study of the translation of Chinese culture, hosting and participating in various international translation seminars and literary exchange activities, tirelessly promoting Chinese literature and culture. He is the only Italian member of the International Association of Conference Interpreters (AIIC), with Chinese, English, and Italian as working languages. He is also a Chartered Linguist and Fellow of the Chartered Institute of Linguists (FCIL), Executive Committee Member of the World Interpreter and Translator Training Association (WITTA), and Executive Editor of the peer-reviewed international journal Translation and Global Communication. In 2025 he was awarded the prize “Friend of Chinese Literature” by the China Writers Association.

   In the field of translation studies, Professor Moratto has deep professional expertise, and his research has built a bridge between Chinese literature and global translation studies. He has published over 100 academic articles and more than 40 books, offering groundbreaking insights that advance the understanding of Chinese culture and its interaction with the world. As the editor-in-chief of Interpreting Studies for Shanghai Foreign Language Education Press and editor-in-chief of two prestigious Routledge series (Routledge Studies in East Asian Interpreting and Routledge Interdisciplinary and Transcultural Approaches to Chinese Literature), he has created international platforms for the global dissemination of Chinese scholarship and literature. His latest publication on Chinese interpreting (Chinese Interpreting: Strategies and Teaching Methodologies) is a valuable resource for linguists and fosters deeper academic ties between China and the world. The book has already been published in Italian and English and and is currently being translated into more than five other languages.

   In translation practice, Professor Moratto focuses on the international promotion of contemporary Chinese literature. His translations are accurate, vivid, expressive, and artistically compelling, demonstrating his profound understanding of Chinese language and culture. He has translated works by renowned Chinese authors such as Wang Guowei, Hu Shi, Ruan Ji, Li Jingze, Tang Sulan, Han Shaogong, Su Tong, Li Er, Xiao Bai, Lin Bai, Chan Ho-kei, Chi Wei-jan, as well as Xi Jinping’s Stories of Xi Jinping into Italian. These works received unanimous recognition from the Italian translation, publishing, and cultural communities, enhancing global readers’ understanding and appreciation of contemporary Chinese society and culture, thus contributing to the dialogue between civilizations. Additionally, he is the only foreigner to have published two Chinese-language essay collections in China. The writer Li Er commented that his Chinese expression ability “is comparable to the best Chinese authors.”

   As an educator, Professor Moratto has played a pivotal role in cultivating future talents in translation and interpreting. He has designed and taught specialized courses that combine theory and practice, preparing students for real-world challenges. He has established exchange and cooperation with many Italian universities, including the University of Bergamo and the University of Venice, often using “Chinese stories” as the theme for his reports or lectures. Notably, he coached the winner of the special award in the Central China District (Hunan) final of the 8th Cross-Strait interpreting competition, demonstrating his dedication to nurturing a new generation of interpreters who can effectively tell China’s stories on the international stage.

   Professor Moratto is a friend of China and has actively promoted cross-cultural communication and exchange between China and Italy (as well as China and the world). He has been interviewed multiple times by renowned media outlets both domestically and internationally, and his interviews have been featured twice in China Social Sciences Today. In his view, for foreigners to tell China’s story well, they must immerse themselves in Chinese culture, personally experience the endless charm of the Chinese language, continuously update their understanding of China, and align their actions with the development of the times. He is dedicated to advancing various forms of Sino-Italian cultural cooperation and has made significant contributions to the dissemination of Chinese literature and culture in Italy. Through his scholarly achievements, translation efforts, and commitment to education, Professor Moratto has made profound contributions to strengthening cross-cultural communication and enhancing global understanding of Chinese culture and values. Professor Moratto is a hyperpolyglot and has also worked as a TV host.

代表作品评价：

1. 文铮（北京外国语大学欧洲语言文化学院教授）

文铮给予《人间词话》意译本极高评价，认为是“目前最完整、最忠实的外文译本”。文铮认为这本译着代表着“自利玛窦以来的中意文化交流传统又一次得到了完美的印证和延续”。文铮还说“利玛窦应该是第一个能用中文创作中国诗歌，并备受中国知识分子推崇的西方人。我相信，随着这部意大利文《人间词话》的问世，莫冉教授也会成为一位利玛窦式的人物。”（收入于Moratto R. Considerazioni sulla poesia ci nel mondo. 2023. Roma: Orientalia. 尤见第7-8页。）

2. 李洱（著名作家、茅盾文学奖获得者）

在我认识的汉学家当中，来自意大利的著名汉学家Professor Riccardo Moratto莫冉教授，无疑是年轻一代中的佼佼者。他是汉学家的升级版，拥有顶级配置。他的汉语表达能力，足以与中国最优秀的作家相比。我甚至认为，他的汉语水平超出了绝大多数中国作家。他在不同语际之间穿行的姿态，令我想起杜甫的名句：“穿花蛱蝶深深见，点水蜻蜓款款飞。传语风光共流传，暂时相赏莫相违。”如果说与杜诗所写的境界有什么不同，那就是他并非“暂时相赏”，而是能够深刻地体认不同语言、不同文化的差异和奇妙，并且能够准确地将它诉诸语言。也就是说，他既是穿花蛱蝶，又是花朵本身；他既是点水蜻蜓，又是清涟本身。他使我想起了莲花，濯清涟而不妖，中通外直，香远益清；他也使我想起了莲花上的蜻蜓，从小荷才露尖尖角开始，他就已经在那里了，所以所有的花语对他来说，就是亲爱的母语。对于写作者和翻译家而言，最重要的品质、最重要的能力，就是能够先行到失败中去，先行到人生的困局、世界的困境、乌托邦的溃败中去，在那里流连忘返，然后道成肉身，化为母语和另一种与母语相亲相爱的语言。而对口译者而言，这无疑是更高的要求，有如持续不断地修行。当这种能力达到极至，它便类似于本能。值得骄傲的是，莫冉完成得好极了。当莫冉把这个修行过程，把春风化雨、种子发芽并且抽穗的过程，展现在读者面前的时候，我认为他向作家、读者，尤其是文学翻译家和口译者，提供了一个可供分析、借鉴的榜样。
