在本文，我要指出，在高達美的詮釋學裡，一個正確的詮釋，不能與文本完全相異，也不能與文本完全相同，而是要與文本互相統一，構成一個意義整體。本文首先說明文本的結構，指出文本是關於事理（die Sache）的，並且是說明事理的意義。接著，我以高達美詮釋學的兩個觀念－－「全然貫通」（totale Vermittlung）和「充實的時間」（erfuelte Zeit），來說明文本與詮釋的關係，這是說，詮釋完全貫通到文本所說的事理意義中，並且充實了它，於是，詮釋與文本互相統一，構成一個更豐富的意義整體。最後，我指出文本與詮釋統一的兩個基本原則：奠基於事理和融貫性。對於後者，我指出它有三個性格：連貫性，包容性和深度性。

In this paper I shall argue that on Gadamer's hermeneutics a correct interpretation could not be entirely different from the text, nor can it be completely the same with the text. Rather, a correct interpretation is in unity with the text in character so as to form a meaningful totality. In the first section, I indicate that a text essentially intends to reveal the meaning of the subject matter it deals with. Section Two is devoted to an analysis of the relationship between an interpretation and the text in terms of Gadamer's two concepts, i.e., total mediation (totale Vermittlung) and fulfilled time (erfuelte Zeit). I shall then draw a conclusion that an interpretation is totally mediated into, and enriches, the meaning of the subject matter with which the text is concerned. That is what I mean by saying that an interpretation is in unity with the text. Finally, I propose that the unification of the text and an interpretation is based on two principles, namely, the subject matter and coherence. I shall further specify three characteristics of the principle of coherence: correlation, comprehensiveness and penetration.
