本文对译创理论的源起、发展、内涵特点以及现实意义等方面进行了理论层面的探讨。笔者发现，译创的多重性主要体现在“译”、“创”、“媒”以及“合”四个方面。译创是一种翻译和创作并存的写作方式，是译创者从/到另一种语言里表达自身文化的双向创造性实践，从而实现文化杂合。此外，作为一种文化杂合的有效手段，译创对全球化时代的翻译研究和文化研究都具有很重要的现实意义。

This paper examines the origin, evolution, implications and significance of transcreation. It argues that the manifold meanings of transcreation include translation, creation, negotiation and cultural hybridity. Transcreation is a form of writing that combines translation with creation. It is a bidirectional creative process, in which the transcreator presents his/her own culture in (or from) another language to achieve cultural hybridity. Furthermore, as an efficient means of cultural hybridity, transcreation is significant to translation studies and cultural studies in the globalized era.
