中英委婉语及其翻译方法

中英委婉语及其翻译方法

中英委婉语及其翻译方法On Chinese and English Euphemisms andTheir T ranslationI IntroductionThe word “euphemism”originates from Greek, “eu ”serves as prefix, with the meaning of “good, sounding good”, while the root “pheme” means “saying; speech”. So the whole word suggests “to speak with good words or in a pleasant manner”. According to Newman (1990.1), euphemism can be explained as “substituting an inoffensive or pleasant term for a more explicit, offensive one, thereby veneering the truth by using kind words”. For example, when talking about death, people would like to use “pass away, be no more; come to an end” rather than the blunt “death”. Based on this explanation, it will be not difficult for us to form the basic impression that euphemisms can avoid unpleasant word and create relatively positive atmosphere and glorifying sense.However, the reasonable use of euphemism is not an easy job. One has to understand something before using it correctly. And the euphemism device is more a cultural and psychological reflection in language than a more language use .In cultural field, the religion factor, legend factor, literature factor, custom factor and historical stories can all affect the precise understanding and using of euphemisms.Moreover, culture, as we all know, has its particular national features. That is to say, different countries have different culture tradition and heritage. And as language is the carrier of a nation’s culture, all the distinction in culture are reflected in thelanguage level. As the use of it has to be performed under the cultural instruction and consideration.At present, euphemism use, as one of the commonest phenomena in human language, has been deeply embedded in the language use. In the daily life and work, euphemism can lubricate and coordinate the interrelation among person to make the communication go on more smoothly. So it will not be exaggerated to emphasize euphemisms’import ance. Instead, as the improvement of social civilization, more and more euphemisms use will be adopted in language production. What’s more, the chance of communication between Chinese and foreigners is more frequent, during this process, it is quite important to know about the respective communication habits and cultural tradition in order to avoid unnecessary misunderstanding in both sides. So the authorwould like to say, it is of great value and practical instruction in cross-cultural communication to study this interesting language method-euphemism in terms of cultural intention between Chinese and English.II The Same Cultural Psychology of Euphemism Use in Chinese and English LanguageAlthough euphemism have an early origination, they hadn’t begun to appear in a wide range at a swift space until the modern times when the technology and productivity were improving constantly and the whole society and human kind were in a processing state. Just during this processing much taboo in social, psychological and language aspect has turned up constantly, which provided a good precondition for the booming of euphemism. Here, the article will further analyze the commoncultural elements in the use of euphemisms in Chinese and English from three different angles.2.1 Language T abooEither in highly civilized society or in the primitive tribes, there exist euphemisms. Either in widely used languages or in the languages of ethnic groups, there exist euphemisms. The earliest field of their uses is the addresses to the God or the ghost. Because at the early times, people’s knowledge about nature and science is lacking badly, then they had to own many mystic things to the influence of ghost or God. And they were so worshipping and horrified to this kind of super power that they began slowly to avoid mentioning then frankly and directly. Then taboo became the earliest euphemism.For example, in English-speaking countries, they are so devoted to the God that they use many other names for Jehovah, such as the Almighty, the Supreme being, Holy one the Eternal, the Maker, the Savior and the lord of lords and so on. In Chinese there are also many euphemisms due to taboo. Take the expression of death for example, the Chinese euphemisms for it includes:离去,不在了,走了,仙逝,骑鹤,涅磐,去西天,蝉蜕,崩,弃世,不戮,and so on.Of course there are many other fields where taboo is actively stimulating the use of various euphemisms. Generally speaking, both in Chinese and English, euphemisms in disease, sex, excretion, unemployment, poverty and old age are the most usual occasions to see them. Any language user should pay careful attention to the taboo culture, both home and abroad, either same or different or else, others may be badly offended while you still feel quite innocent. So it is better for language users to avoidunhappiness and go on more joyful conversation.2.2The Common Aesthetical ConceptAesthetical concept is a potential consciousness university owed by all the person in the society. Culturally speaking, it is cultivated gradually together with cult ure in people’s mind and in the wide environment of the whole society. So as long as one exists as a person in a social context, literate or illiterate, he is sure to hold some kind of most preliminary cultural concept in aesthetics.Due to communal aesthetics in the whole word, any kind of languages, Chinese or English, there must be similar euphemisms in such fields as birth, death, disease, sex, crime, professions, politics and so on. Especially on public occasions, words in terms of those fields are usually avoided to express in a frankly speaking way but in a veneering and encoring way, in order to lessen unpleasant factors and add joyful elements. Therefore, graceful and mild terms often appear in this content. Let’s read the following two groups of sentences.(a)He got venereal disease.他得过性病。

英语中的委婉语

英语中的委婉语

英语中的委婉语(总8页)--本页仅作为文档封面,使用时请直接删除即可----内页可以根据需求调整合适字体及大小--英语中的委婉语委婉来自希腊语,eu 是好的意思,phemism 是speech (言语)的意思,整个字面的意思是word of good omen (吉祥)或好的说法。

一般认为,凡是表示禁忌或敏感事物的含蓄、迂回或动听的语言,均属委婉语。

由此可知,委婉语不仅是人们交际的需要,更是言语交际中维系人们社会关系和人际关系的重要手段。

随着社会的进步,人类文明的发展,委婉语始终伴随着整个社会的言语交际过程,且表现出极强的言语交际功能。

由于委婉语在英语中应用比较广泛,所以了解委婉语的交际功能对于我们学好英语、进行有效的跨文化交际有很大帮助。

本文从社会语言学的角度,试图通过具体的语言实例,探究在特定的语言环境下英语委婉语的交际功能。

一、委婉语的“避讳”功能语言禁忌起源于古希腊,古罗马时期人们对神的敬畏。

在人类文明的早期,科学尚不发达,人们对一些自然现象还不能认识和解释,对人的自身也认识不足,常常因感某种神秘力量而内心深怀恐惧,在口头语言表达上为一种不愿言、不敢言,久而久之就成为一种语言的禁忌,但因相互交流的需要,有时又不得不表达出此种意思,于是人们逐渐学会了用避讳的话委婉地表达;委婉语也因而产生,并被广泛应用。

这样,避讳禁忌、消除恐惧便成了委婉语的第一功能。

例如Satan 被称为the good man,the great fellow ,Devil 被称为the Big D 及Lord of the Flies. 人们对“死亡”的恐惧必然导致大量有关“死亡”的委婉语的产生。

讲英语国家的人们和许多其他民族的人民一样,忌讳直接说“死”(to die)字,创造了很多表达“死”的意思的委婉语。

例如,人们常用“去了”(to pass away),“离别了”(to depart),“离开了我们”(to leave us),“睡着了”(to go to sleep),“去天国”(to go to heaven),“心脏停止了跳动”(one’s heart has stopped beating),等词来代替说某人“死了”(to die),因为“死”太神秘、太痛苦、太让人恐怖了。

英汉两种语言中的委婉语

英汉两种语言中的委婉语

英汉两种语言中的委婉语
委婉语是指当人们要谈论生活中那些惹人不快、让人尴尬、招人厌恶和令人恐惧的事物时所用的词和短语。

英汉两种语言有的委婉语是相同的,比如“死亡”,汉语用“过世了”,英语说“pass away”;“上厕所”,汉语用“去洗手间”,英语说“go to the washroom”。

但是,不同的用法也很多,不能硬译。

比如,“他有经济问题”,意为“He is corrupted.”或“He has accepted the bribery.”不能硬译为“He has the problem of economy.”。

对于“老”,中国人尊老,对年纪大的人尊称“老人家”,而西方人对“老”总有一种恐惧,于是避免说“老”也成了委婉语。

比如,“老人家,麻烦你让一下!”如果译成“Trouble you, old man! Let me pass!”就是典型的中式英语了。

这种情况在英语中一般就表达为“Excuse me, sir!”所以,我们应该多了解英汉两种语言中的委婉语,才能更好地准确表达意思。

英语中委婉语气的表达法(记录图表)

英语中委婉语气的表达法(记录图表)

英语中委婉语气的表达法在每一个民族的语言里,或多或少有些关于更礼貌更客气的表达方法,也就是委婉语气表达(overtone of politeness)。

西方人的委婉更是出了名的,英语学习者经过长期的英语学习和研究不难发现英语中有许多婉转口气的表达法,它使听话者觉得说话者更有涵养或更容易接受其内容,也使自己显得更有教养。

那么如何讲有礼貌的英语呢?下面就用一些例子对此做一些阐述。

1 有关请求和命令的婉转说法这一类言语行为在不同程度上具有冒犯性,因此需要用礼貌的话把它淡化和缓解。

试比较:●Pass the water.(不礼貌)●Pass the water, please.(使对方容易接受。

)●Would you pass the water?(试探受话人是否乐意)●Could your possibly pass the water?(询问受话人是否有做某事的可能性,很客气)●I would be extremely grateful if your would pass the water.(假设语气陈述句,很有礼貌)●I wonder if you would be good enough to pass the water.(假设语气,很委婉)受话人如何给对方答复,现分肯定回答和否定回答来研究。

肯定回答:按礼貌程度由低到高排列。

●O.K.●(Yes,) certainly.●Yes, by all means.●Of course. I'll be only too pleased to.否定回答:当你被别人邀请参加聚会或其他等等活动而你因有事不能参加;或者人家有事相求你又确实帮不了,请求得不到满足,回答使发话人不悦,这时你不妨试试下面这些软否定:No, I'm afraid I can't; Well, I'd love to, but actually, I'm afraid I can't at present because...; I wish I could, but...; I'd love to, but...; I'd be glad to, but...; I'm afraid not, ...; It's very kind of you to say, but ...; I'd like to ..., but ...,etc. 让我们用一些对话做为例子:●A: We plan to go to the beach after class, want to come?B: I'd love to, but Pro. Jones wants to speak with me.●A: It never fails, It's raining hard outside and I'm stuck without an umbrella.B: I'd like to let you have mine, but I have to go out soon.●A: Will you go to the movies with me tonight?B: I'd love to, but I've caught a cold.●A: Could you possibly do me a favor?B: Sure, What is it?A: I've got a problem. I have to fix my table and I don't have a hammer. Could I possiblyborrow yours?B: I'm sorry. I'm afraid I don't have one.A: Oh .Do you know anybody who does?B: Yes. You should call Charlie. I'm sure he'll be happy to lend you his.A: Thank you. I'll call him right away.●A: It's such a fine day, shall we go to the park for a walk?B: I'd like to join you, but I find it chilly to walk outside in spite of the sun.2 劝告的婉转法试比较下面句子(按从直截了当到较有礼貌的含蓄的劝告表达法排列)●You ought to type this paper.(有强加于人的意向)●You really should slow down at your office.●You'd better tell him the truth.●I'd advise you to take a vacation.●You should take your parents' advice, they know what's best for you.●If I were you , I'd buy another car without hesitation.(含蓄地达到劝告目的)3 建议的表达法试比较:●I suggest you go for some advice.(不够礼貌,用于熟悉的人)●I would suggest starting the work at once.(较委婉)●You can read the novel now if you like.(给人选择余地,较客气)●You could/might have a look at the novel.(客气)●Why not call me next weekend?(有礼貌的建议)●Why don't you find a decent job?(同5))●Can /may/Could/might I suggest that...?(使受话人容易接受)●It would be better if you copy that again.(假设条件句,容易使人接受)●I wonder if I might make the suggestion that...(用在正式场合,比如外交家的审慎的辞令风格)4 如何利用某些时态婉转地表达自己种种想法从上面所举例子,我们不难发现英语中有些时态其实并不表示真正的时态,而是与英语中的委婉语气密不可分的,例如:4.1 某些实意动词(want, wonder, think, hope等)的过去时、现在进行时、过去进行时表现在时比直接用现在时态更婉转,如:●A: Did you want me?B: Yes, I wondered if you could give me some help.●It's time you had a holiday.●I wish you lived closer to us.●If only you lent your book to me.●I'm hoping you'll give us some advice.●I'm wondering if I may have a word with you.●I was wondering /wondered if you'd like to come out with me one evening.●I was hoping / hoped you could send me some books.上面所举例子实际上都可以用一般现在时来代替,但是就不如用一般过去时;现在进行时或过去进行时委婉。
