DumplingsDumplings are one of the Chinese people’s favorite traditional dishes. According to an ancient Chinese legend, dumplings were first made by the medical saint—Zhang Zhongjing. There are three steps involved in making dumplings: 1) make dumpling wrappers out of dumpling flour; 2) prepare the dumpling stuffing; 3) make dumplings and boil them. With thin and elastic dough skin, freshen and tender stuffing, delicious taste, and unique shapes, dumplings are worth eating hundreds of times. There’s an old saying that claims, “Nothing could be more delicious than dumplings.” During the Spring Festival and other holidays or when treating relatives and friends, Chinese people like to follow the auspicious custom of eating dumplings. To Chinese people who show high reverence for family love, having dumplings at the moment the old year is replaced by the new is an essential part of bidding farewell to the old and ushering in the New Year.针灸针灸是中医学的重要组成部分。
中国传统文化词条英译

中国传统文化词条英译The Translation of Chinese Traditional Cultural Terms Chinese traditional culture is rich and profound, encompassing various aspects of life, such as philosophy, literature, art, and customs. In this article, we will delve into some of the key terms in Chinese traditional culture and provide their English translations. Through vivid descriptions and engaging narratives, we hope to bring these cultural elements to life and make readers feel as if they are experiencing them firsthand.1. Yin and Yang: Yin and Yang are two opposing but complementary forces that exist in all things. Yin represents the feminine, passive, and dark aspects, while Yang symbolizes the masculine, active, and bright aspects. The concept of Yin and Yang is fundamental to Chinese philosophy and is used to explain the interplay and harmony of opposites.2. Confucianism: Confucianism is a philosophical and ethical system developed by Confucius, an influential Chinese scholar and philosopher. It emphasizes the importance of moral values, social harmony, and thecultivation of virtues such as filial piety, loyalty, and benevolence. Confucianism has greatly influenced Chinese society and continues to shape Chinese culture.3. Taoism: Taoism is a philosophical and religious tradition that originated in ancient China. It focuses on living in harmony with the Tao, which can be translated as "the Way" or "the Path." Taoism encourages individuals to embrace simplicity, spontaneity, and naturalness in order to achieve inner peace and spiritual enlightenment.4. Calligraphy: Calligraphy is considered one of the highest forms of artistic expression in Chinese culture. It involves the skilled and graceful writing of Chinese characters using a brush and ink. Calligraphy is not only a means of communication but also a reflection of one's personality and inner state. It embodies the beauty of rhythm, balance, and harmony.5. Tea Ceremony: The tea ceremony is a traditional ritual for preparing and serving tea in China. It embodies the principles of tranquility, harmony, and respect. The host carefully prepares and presents the tea, while the guests appreciate its aroma, taste, and aesthetics. The teaceremony is not only a way to enjoy tea but also a spiritual practice that cultivates mindfulness and appreciation of nature.6. Silk Road: The Silk Road was an ancient network of trade routes that connected China with the rest of the world. It played a crucial role in facilitating cultural exchange, economic development, and the spread of ideas and technologies between East and West. The Silk Road was named after the valuable silk that was traded along the route, but it also facilitated the exchange of goods such as spices, ceramics, and precious metals.In conclusion, Chinese traditional culture is a treasure trove of wisdom, beauty, and profound insights into human existence. By providing English translations of key cultural terms and presenting them in a lively and engaging manner, we hope to bridge the cultural gap and foster a deeper understanding and appreciation of Chinese traditional culture. Through the power of words, we aim to evoke emotions and transport readers into the world of Chinese traditions.。

汉英谦辞文化差异及三种汉语谦辞的英译策略

哈尔滨职业技术学院学报20l3年第5期J our nal of H ar b i n V ocat i ona l&T!!!!!!!!璺!!!!g!1l l汉英谦辞文化差异及三种汉语谦辞的英译策略蔡智彬(漳州职业技术学院,福建漳州363000)摘要:语言是文化的载体,而谦词又是语言中的重要组成部分,因而反映在文化差异上也具有较强的代表性。
在跨文化交际过程中,影响交流顺畅的一个重要因素就是中西谦辞文化差异。
本文论述了影响汉英谦辞差异的五种中西文化差异以及三种汉语谦词的英译策略,以期有利于中西交际和文化交流。
关键词:谦辞;文化差异;英译策略中图分类号:G712文献标识码:A文章编号:1008—8970一(2013)05—011l—02二战以来,“地球变得越来越小了”:各国政要频繁穿梭于国际舞台;跨国公司环球开花结果;学者、科学家、专家屡屡出现于国际学术论坛;联合国维和部队奔命于世界军事冲突热点地区等等。
跨文化交际如潮如涌,蔚为壮观。
在跨文化交际过程中存在着西方人喜用赞辞(即恭维话),中国人喜用谦辞(即自谦的话)的文化现象,111而影响中西方交流顺畅的一个重要因素就是中西谦辞文化的差异。
一、影响汉英谦辞文化差异的因素中西方由于历史、传统、宗教、价值观念、社会组织、风俗习惯、社会所处的发展阶段和社会制度等因素,各自形成了风格迥异的文化,其差异不可避免地影响着人们的跨文化交际121。
(一)思维方式的差异对英美人的称赞语,缺乏跨文化交际知识的中国人往往要自谦一番,这是英美人始料不及的,并经常使他们陷于十分尴尬的境地。
有个很好的比喻:中国人强调一种“您行,我差远了”的“水落石出”式的交往态度,既要抬高对方,又要贬抑自己;而西方人强调一种“您行,我也不差”的“水涨船高”式的交往态度,既尊重对方,又抱有自信。
[31英美人比较直爽,从不掩饰自己的自信心和荣誉感,运用语言注重准确性。
他们认为,应该直接了当地表达自己的意见,不应含糊。
