跨文化交际翻译练习
跨文化交际翻译练习Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese.1. People in Paris eat snails, but people in San Diego put poison on them. Why? People in Tabriz or Tehran sit on the floor and pray five times each day, but people in Las V egas stand up all night in front of slot machines. Why? Some people speak Tagalog, others speak English. Why? Some people paint and decorate their entire bodies, but others spend millions of dollars painting and decorating only their faces. Why? The general answer to these questions is the same. People learn to think, feel, believe, and strive for what their culture considers proper. People respond to the world through the messages they receive, but it is culture that determines, to a large extent, the form, pattern, and content of those messages. Culture also determines the content and conformation of the messages we send. This omnipresent quality of culture leads Hall to conclude that “there is not one aspect of human life that is not touched and altered by culture.” In many ways, Hall is correct: culture is everything and everywhere. And more importantly, at least for our purposes, culture and communication work in tandem. In fact , they are inseparable: it is often difficult to decide which is the voice and which the echo.2. There are six barriers to communication----anxiety, assuming similarities instead of differences, ethnocentrism, stereotypes and prejudice, nonverbal misinterpretations and language problems. Anxiety is feeling nervous, which can affect communication when you focus so much on your own feelings that you do not pay attention to what other people are telling you. If you are speaking to someone in your second language,you may worry that the other person may speak too fast or will use words you do not understand. Anxiety may also affect your ability to communicate your ideas to others. If you are in a situation where you feel very nervous, such as talking to your boss, you may find yourself saying awkward things or even making mistakes in grammar that you never do when talking with your friends.Individualism-oriented cultures hold individual interests and goals as most important while in collectivism-oriented cultures group interests and goals precede over those of the individual. Most Western countries value individualism and people strive hard to achieve individual identity in terms of possessions and achievement in their professions. Many eastern countries place high value on the collective. Sometimes individuals have to sacrifice their own interests to achieve what is good for the group.3. When studying stereotypes, prejudice, and racism, you may be struck with the role that communication can play in either spreading the beliefs or stopping their spread. Prejudice and racism are commonly viewed as being rooted in the child’s early socialization and fostered in communication with other people who are prejudiced or racist.4. Here is an important point to bear in mind. Chinese learners of English tend to assume that when it is their turn to speak, they must speak accurately, completely, fluently and without any hesitation. If they cannot do so, they begin to blush and lose confidence. In actual fact they have made a unreasonable demand on themselves. In natural conversation, it is quite common that native speakers of English make grammatical mistakes, hesitate a lot, make a false start, use words or expressions that they regret using them later. The point youshould bear in mind is that when you are engaged in spontaneous conversation (i. e. natural conversation), your goal is to get your ideas across. Do not worry about hesitation, misuse of words, too many pauses, etc. Nobody, not even a native speaker, is free from these flaws. Y ou can use those meaningless but useful syllables to gain time.。

Differences between Western invitation and EasterninvitationThere is no doubt that there are many differences between Western culture and Eastern culture. It is just the differences that make the world diverse. However, this is where miscommunication, misunderstanding and even conflict may occur. Every country has its own traditional culture and cannot get rid of it. It’s hard to say which one has more advantages. They are all making contributions to the world development and harmony. That’s why we should know something of other cultures.Cultures are different from one another and invitation is no exception. Invitation is universal in all cultures. However, there are also many differences occurs in how to give an invitation and how to reply to a invitation. In western country inviting each other is a social activities, aimed at making more friends and getting help from each other when they need one day. As for them invitation is just like a tool to expand their social intercourse. In China invitation often occurs between old friends and relatives to talk about the past and brighten the chain with each other or renew friendship. Foreign custom is much more strict than Chinese custom in the matter of replying to invitations. When you receive an invitation you should answer it immediately, saying definitely whether you are able to accept it or not. Foreign custom is much more strict than Chinese custom in the matter of replying to invitations. In western countries when you receivean invitation you should answer it immediately, saying definitely whether you are able to accept it or not.Because of the differences of custom the categories of invitations are different too. In American culture there are two kinds of invitation, “genuine invitation” and “false invitation”. If one is not familiar with American culture maybe feel that Americans are not sincere and honest because he cannot tell the difference between “genuine invitation” and “false invitation”.Every culture has its own advantages and plays an important role in the world developing. We need to know something about other cultures as well as our own if we hope to achieve development and harmony in the world.Similarities and Differences between the Chinese Way and the American Way of Gift Giving and Gift Receiving Gift giving is a big part of any culture. No matter in Western countries or in Eastern countries, people all pay attention to gift giving and gift receiving. They all believe etiquette requires reciprocity and exchange of gifts can leave a deep impression on each other and renew friendship.Doubtlessly, differences also exist in gift giving and gift receiving between Chinese way and American way, due to the differences of the two cultures. First of all, as for Chinese , we often pay attention to the gift of use value but not the memorable or special value. Therefore, Chinese usuallychoose something expensive as a gift. What’s more the the more expensive the gift is , the closer the relationship between the giver and the receiver is. On the contrary, in America, they do not give a very expensive gift, instead, they choose something cheap but special as a gift. Secondly, when receiving a gift ,Chinese always open the gift after the giver has left .No matter whether he like it or not , he always say he like it very much. However, an American will not. They usually open the gift before the giver and tell the giver whether he likes it honestly. This is because in Chinese culture Chinese value modest most but in American culture they think highly of direction.With China entry the WTO and held the Olympic Games in 2008, the relationship between China and Western in politics, economy, culture will become more and more close. China will play a more important role in the world. It is undoubtedly that the etiquette will play an important role in this process. Therefore we should know more about other cultures and make our culture be knew by more people.。

High-context cultures are the exact opposite. Communication tends to be imprecise and as much attention is paid to the person delivering the message as to the message itself. In high-context cultures---most of Latin America, Asia, the Middle East and Africa---personal encounters are essential before business can begin.高语境文化是完全相反的。
沟通往往是不精确的，对提供消息的人比对消息本身关注的更多。
高语境文化中---大多数拉丁美洲，亚洲，中东和非洲---个人遭遇实在业务开始之前必不可少的。
These people need as much ancillary information as possible. They pay more attention to physical surroundings, how a business colleague is dressed or coiffured---the general ambiance of the negotiations---than individuals from low-context countries. Body language, facial gestures and voice inflection are important methods of communication. The physical surroundings for a meeting or a business meal are just as important as the substance of the discussion.这些人需要尽可能多的辅助信息。

新编跨文化交际英语教程期末翻译题Unit2.4.5.6中英对照
UNIT 2文化有时候被称为我们的心智程序，我们“头脑的软件”。
Culture is sometimes referred to as our mental programming, our “software of the mind. ”但是，我们可以进一步引申这个用电脑所做的类比，把文化看作是支持运行的操作环境。
But we can take that computer analogy further and say that culture is the operating environment that enables software programs to run.文化就像电脑使用的 DOS 或者Unix 或者“视窗”（Windows）等操作系统一样，使我们能在各种各样的实际应用中处理信息。
Culture is like DOS or Unix or Windows:it is what enables us to process information in various specific application.用“视窗”这个比喻来描述文化似乎也很有吸引力。
The metaphor of windows seems to be very appealing to descr ibe culture:文化就是我们心灵的视窗，透过它我们审视生活的方方面面。
culture is a mental set of windows through which all of life is viewed.一个社会中不同个体的视窗是不大一样的，但都有着一些重要的共同特征。
It varies from individual to individual within a society, but it shares important characteristics with menbers of a so ciety.文化就好像是鱼畅游于其中的水一般，人们想当然地把文化看成是客观存在的事实，因而很少去研究它。
跨文化交际课文翻译
关于跨文化交流，跨文化市场才是第一的真正的首要的范本。
考虑到古罗马帝国的市民，他们是第一个诞生商店的地球文明。
商人们通过在商店的上面树立旗帜来展示他们商品货物的图片来解决跨文化市场的困扰。
这种做法不仅能为罗马帝国中未受过教育的市民服务还能帮助罗马商人们获得被他们用武力征服的殖民地的商业信息。
回顾过去，我们会发现两千多年前的亚里士多德曾明确说过：“有效劝服基本的信念仍可以把他应用到今天的买卖商品上然而在古代的雅典可能会引起一场大的争论”。
很明显的可以看出，交流是现代市场的根基。
毋庸置疑，全球化市场的时代已经到来。
每年超过4万件的商品货物进入国际市场，其中超过一半是来自美国。
这里面85%的商品都不合格。
通往国际化市场成功的道路是建立在失败的市场垃圾碎片和广泛的广告活动之上的。
他们中的大多数之所以会失败，是因为跨文化交流被曲解了。
在跨文化市场里，如果你想把低劣的语言举止降低到最小，那么就不假定任何事情。
几乎我们都听说过关于美国通用汽车公司，他们尽力想把他们的雪佛兰牌汽车销往拉美国家。
但是雪佛兰在说西班牙语的拉美国家按字面意思是不能行走。
当公司发现汽车买不出去的原因时，他们就把车重新命名，然后销往这些国家。
福特汽车公司，美国又一个汽车界的领头羊，也有类似的问题。
他们的pinto牌汽车在当地也没有达到预期的销售，原因时他们的汽车其意思在当地为男性生殖器。
最终福特公司把所有的名牌汽车重新命名为co rcel，其意思为骏马。
伊莱克斯，一个日用电器制造者，其在英国获得了很大的成功。
不幸的是，他们的广告招牌的意思在美国和英国大不相同。
在美国，suck的意思是多虱子的。
英国的牙膏生产商在法国制造出来了一种牙膏叫c ue。
跨文化交际 英语案例分析翻译
Case 1The shipping agent is serving the customers in the way that is considered efficient in Venezuelan culture. To the Canadian, however, this is unfocused activity that is not nearly as efficient as it would be—particularly from her point of view–if the agent simply dealt exclusively with her scheduled appointment. In Canada, businesspeople typically write appointments and activities into the day’s agenda every day. They then work sequentially through the agenda until they have completed each task or the day is over. In other words, Canadians prefer to do one thing at a time, while the South Americans, including Venezuelans, tend to do a few things simultaneously.船舶代理人接待客户的这种方式在委内瑞拉的文化中被认为是有效的方式。
对于加拿大人来说,然而,这种不集中竭力的活动也不像它看来的那样有效,特别是依她来看，如果受托人专一的处理她原方案安排。
在加拿大,商人通常每天都会把约会和活动写到第二天的议事日程上，然后他们通过议程连续工作,直到他们完成每一项任务或一天结束了。

原文：
If movie trailers supposed to cause a reaction, the preview for “United 93”more than succeeds .Featuring no famous actors, it begins with image of a beautiful morning and passengers boarding an airplane .It take you a minute to realize what the movie’s even about .That’s when a plane hits the World Trade Center .The effect is visceral .When the trailer played before “Inside Man”last week at a Hollywood theater, audience member began calling out, “Too soon !” In New York City , the response was even more dramatic .The Loews theater in Manhattan took the rare step of pulling the trailer from its screens after several complaints .
译文：
如果电影预告片能够引起一种反应，那么《93号航班》的试映不仅仅是成功了。
（trailer译为预告片,suppose to译为应该做，能够做，cause译为引起，preview译为试映.n. more than 译为不仅仅.而且第一句为虚拟语气）这部电影没有著名的演员出演，他只是开始于在一个美丽的早晨乘客登机的画面。
（feature译为由…主演,featuring no famous actors为状语从句,我译时将其主语译出来了,而面主语用“它”来代替了.登记用“board an airplane”）你只需要花费一分钟就会明白这部电影实际上讲的是什么（这句话有一个句型：it takes sb. Some
time to do sth.做某事花费某人多少时间.我觉得even可以译为实际上,此处为副词）那就是当一架飞机撞上世贸中心时，那种效果是震撼心灵的。
（此处将两句话译成了一句话.这用了合译法.visceral译为震撼心灵的）上周，当这部预告片在一家好莱坞电影院放映《局外人》之前播放时，许多观众开始大声喊叫：“太早了！”（这句话中每个单词都不难,但是要译通顺，还是有些难度的。
首先把时间状语last week翻译出来，接下来译时间状语从句。
在状语从句中，要把地点状语at a Hollywood theater译在主语the trailer后，再译before “Inside Man”,最后译动词played.而主句的翻译就相对简单了。
其中call out译为“大声喊叫”。
）在纽约市，观众对这部预告片的反应甚至更激烈。
（这句话使用乐增译法，如果直接说反应更激烈，会可能不着头脑。
所以我加上了观众对这部片的反应。
其中dramatic adj.本义为戏剧的；引人注目的；激动人心的。
而在这段中，显然感情是很充沛的，而且与反应搭配，译为激烈的更为合适。
）曼哈顿的洛斯影院在多次抱怨后，把这部预告片下架了，这是很罕见的做法。
（pull the trailer from its screens并没有直译，采用了转译法。
而take the rare step 没有在原句位置上翻译，而是单出来译成一句话放在最后，这用到了分译法和词序整理。
）
原文译文：
如果说电影预告片旨在引起反应的话，那么《93号航班》的
预告片则超过了这个目的。
没有什么大牌明星参演，该片以乘客在一个美丽的早晨登机的画面开始。
你需要看一会儿等看到一架飞机撞上世贸中心时，你才会明白该片讲述的是什么故事。
预告片去的震撼人心的效果。
上周，该预告片在好莱坞一座电影院放映《局内人》之前播放时，有观众开始大叫“拍的太早了！”纽约市的反应更为激烈，曼哈顿的罗尔斯剧院在观众的几次抱怨之后干脆把该预告片撤掉了，而这是极其少有的做法。
“United 93 ” is the first feature film to deal explicitly with the events of September 11,2001，and is center to ignite an emotional debate .Is it too soon ?Should the film have been made at all ?More to the point ,will anyone want to see it ?Other 9/11 project are on the way as the fifth anniversary of the attacks approaches ,most notably Oliver Stone’s “World Trade Center ”.But as the forerunner “United 93” will take most of the heat ,whether it deserves it or not .
译文：
《93号航班》是第一部明确讲述2001年9.11时间的故事片，它必然会引起激烈的争论。
（feature film 译为故事片，剧情片explicitly adv. 明确地ignite 点燃）他拍的太早了么？这部电影跟本就不应该被拍摄么？（这一句原句是肯定形式，并没有出现否定词，但是在翻译时，把它的正义反说效果会更
好，这采用了正说反译的方法。
）更关键的是，任何一个人都愿意看么？（此处more to the point 译为更关键的是。
）在9.11袭击事件五周年来临之际，其他关于9.11时间的作品也正在进行中，最显著的是由奥利弗·斯通导演的《世贸中心》。
（on the way实际意思是在路上，此处译为正在进行中；anniversary n. 周年纪念日notably adv.显著地；尤其）但是《93号航班》作为第一个，会受到很激烈的讨论，无论他是否应该如此。
（as译为作为；forerunner先驱者，先驱；take most of the heat表面意思是会很火热，但基于这篇文章对这部电影的评价，译成会受到很激烈的讨论；whether…or not译为无论是否；deserve v.应得）
原文译文：
《93号航班》是第一步明确以2001年发生的“9.11”事件为题材的故事片，势必会引起人们的激烈讨论。
这部片子是不是拍的太早了？是不是跟本就不应该进行拍摄呢？更关键的是，这部片子会有人看吗？随着9.11事件五周年纪念日的来临，相关题材的其他电影也正在筹备之中，其中较为典型的有奥利弗·斯通导演的《世贸中心》；但既然《93号航班》打了头阵，则必然会成为众矢之的，不管这种待遇是否合理。
