英语中六个中国特色的音译词

英语中六个中国特色的音译词

英语中六个中国特色的音译词近日有中国媒体为“《牛津英语词典》可能收录‘土豪’(Tuhao)等中文词”这类新闻自得:“中国贡献的英语单词,正不知不觉、越来越多地融入了国际生活的方方面面……从深层次看……反映了中国正在融入全球化进程。

”现在像“Guanxi”、“Chengguan”这种“中国特色”的中文音译词语经常出现英文读物中。

这些词源于中国没错,却不见得可以自豪。

“Guanxi”:被收入牛津词典的最出名中文音译词.被收入牛津词典的中文音译词,最出名的就是“Guanxi”。

《牛津英语词典》对此的释义是:“源于中国普通话,字面上理解和‘联系’是一个意思,特指在中国有助于商业活动和其他交易的社交网络系统、有影响力的人际关系。

”2013年美国《大西洋月刊》的一篇文章《摩根大通在中国:为何‘照常营业’越来越难》对“Guanxi”这个字在英语语境中的含义做了更明白的解读:“每个去中国的外国人到中国后不久,都会学到一个神奇的单词:‘Guanxi’。

这是这个13亿人的国家中必要的东西。

有了‘Guanxi’,就能意味着得到一份工作、进入不错的学校、或帮助新企业避免不必要的政府关注。

‘拉拉’‘Guanxi’,就能快速而不费事地解决棘手的问题。

”Chengguan”:源于媒体对“中国市政准警察力量”的报道.Chengguan”这一单词,源于英文媒体报道中国城管时无法找到对应的英文单词,只能音译。

2013年7月《大西洋月刊》介绍中国“城管”制度的文章题目便是《见过“Chengguan”:中国受憎恨的、暴虐的地方警察》,其中对“Chengguan”的介绍是:“作为在中国最被广泛厌恶的市政警察,从常规警察部门中分离出来的‘Chengguan’负责管理城市生活中最卑下的一部分……虽然每个社会都有警察滥用暴力,但‘Chengguan’的残暴是中国独有的。

”2013年8月《华尔街日报》以《中国城市准警察的定时炸弹》一文来介绍“城管”制度:“‘Chengguan’是中国城市政府组织、雇佣的辅助性准警察力量,负责管理各种市政问题。

中华思想文化术语----20个中英文对照词了解传统文化

中华思想文化术语----20个中英文对照词了解传统文化

中华思想文化术语----20个中英文对照词了解传统文化近日,“中华思想文化术语传播工程”第二批术语对外发布,对“居安思危”“上善若水”等反映中华传统文化特征与思维方式的核心术语,作出了简明的中文释义和英文翻译。

今天,“微言教育”继续向大家亮出这些词语,我们一起学习吧。

【英译】Jingjie(VisionaryWorld)【释义】“境界”本指疆域边界、土地边界,后来在佛经翻译中,“境界”一词被用于精神领域,指人破除对于物质世界的沉迷后所达到的精神层次或修为境域。

作为文艺术语,主要指文艺作品中所表现出的审美层次和境域,是作者的创造力、理解力和审美能力在精神层面的综合呈现。

有境界的作品是作者真实人格的显现,具备超越凡俗的意味,更能引发读者的共鸣,激发读者的想象,甚至提升读者的感受。

“意境”形成较早,而“境界”主要受中唐以后佛教思想的影响而形成。

近代学者王国维《人间词话》对境界的阐释最多。

王国维往往将“意境”与“境界”概念通用。

他构建了融合西方美学与中国古典美学为一体的“境界论”。

但一般说来,意境侧重作者主观寓意与作品形象的完满融会,通过鉴赏使想象得到发挥,而境界则突出心灵感悟使艺术形象得到升华,强调心灵世界对于作品层次的提升。

【英译】AestheticConceptionTranscendsConcreteObjectsDescribed.【释义】诗文中的审美意境往往在物象之外,需要鉴赏者领悟其中的精神之美。

“境”指作品所创造的审美意境,“象”是作品中所呈现出的具体物象。

诗歌由语言文字写成,所描写的都是一个个物象,在这些具体的物象之外,能够形成整体的审美情境。

唐代诗人刘禹锡首次提出这个命题,表达对诗歌意趣的思考,强调文字与物象是确切的,而审美情境却是微妙而难以言传的。

在古典诗论意境说的形成过程中,“境生象外”是一个重要的发展阶段。

【英译】BeonAlertAgainstPotentialDangerWhenLivinginPeace【释义】处在安宁的环境中,要想到可能出现的危难。

11. Chinese Kites 中国的风筝中国最早的风筝木制而成,古称“木鸢”,至少可以追溯到2000多年前的战国时期。

纸被发明后,改为由纸绢画扎制而成,成为“纸鸢”。

中国风筝主要分为两大类:飞翼可拆开类和飞翼固定类。

根据设计和用途等分类,中国风筝可以分为300多种,例如:人物、鱼、昆虫、鸟、动物,等等。

在尺寸上,直径为30厘米至304米不等。

大约从唐代以后,中国风筝流传到朝鲜日本马来西亚等地,然后又流传到欧美等地。

著名的“潍坊风筝节”已经成为中国每年一次的大型活动,每年4月吸引着国内外的大批风筝爱好者参加。

The earliest Chinese kites were made of wood and called muyuan (wooden kites); they date as far back as the Warring States Period (475 ~221 BC) at least two millennia ago. After the invention of paper, kites began to be made of this new material一paper, and this paper kite is called zhiyuan (paper kites).Chinese kites fall into two major categories: those with detachable wings and those with fixed wings.Classified by designs and other specifications, there are no less than300 varieties, including human figures, fish, insects, birds, animals and so on.In size, they range from 304 metres to only 30 centimetres across.In about Tang Dynasty, Chinese kites were introduced to Korea, Japan, Malaysia and then to Europe and America.The well-known Weifang(Shandong Province) Kite Festival has become an annual feature in the country, draw ing hundreds of participants each April from home and many foreign countries.The kites in the "World Kite Capital" of Weifang in Shandong Province are well known for their exquisite craftsmanship, materials, painting, sculpture and flexible flying movement. Every year, the World Kite Festival will be held there and is expected to draw many fans with a passion for flying kites.12. Chinese Paper Cutting 中国的剪纸剪纸是中国民间最为流行的手工艺术之一。

中国文化特色词语翻译——以“蹴鞠”一词为例

中国文化特色词语翻译——以“蹴鞠”一词为例

2019年第6期总第157期福建师大福清分校学报JOURNAL OF FUQING BRANCH OF FUJIAN NORMAL UNIVERSITYNo.6 2019Sum 157中国文化特色词语翻译——以“蹴鞠”一词为例贺紫晗 ,詹全旺(安徽大学外语学院,安徽合肥 230601)摘 要:以“蹴鞠”一词为例,建立汉英平行语料库,借鉴Aixelá的文化专有项翻译策略,探讨“蹴鞠”一词英译的处理方式,并检验该翻译策略的适用性。

研究发现,“蹴鞠”一词的英译运用到以下策略:转换写法(orthographic adaptation)、有限泛化(limited universalization)、文内注释(intratextual gloss)、绝对泛化(absolute universalization),同时笔者根据自建语料库数据发现该翻译策略尚未覆盖完全,故补充了一项“音译+解释”策略。

一、文化特色词语研究综述在经济全球化和“一带一路”的背景下,跨文化交流日益密切。

目前,很多国家和地区已与我国建立了文化合作关系。

对此我们应该强调文化“走出去”战略,建立文化自信。

翻译在传播文化中起着重要作用,但是各地区文化自身的独特性和显著的差异性成为翻译实践中的重点和难点。

文化特色词语是世界友人了解中国文化重要的载体,因此有必要深入文化特色词语的翻译研究,促进文化交流与传播。

Some critics suggest that different genres of Chinese calligraphy have different political implications. Take Wang Xizhi for an example. His calligraphy was repudiated as unorthodox during his lifetime but, only a few decades after his death, was established as an orthodox genre.从历史上看,中国书法和政治紧密相连。

2000多年前,秦始皇建立了官方的汉字体系。

新的简化文字使得书法不那么复杂了。

它允许人们使用带有更多直笔的文字,因此用毛笔写起来更加容易。

中文摘要特色词汇是中国研究中相当重要的一部分。

中国特色词汇是表达中国文化中的特有事物,其中蕴藏着中国千百年文化的内涵,当中国的文化传出中国走向世界的时候,这些中国特色词汇又是怎样不失原味的被翻译成外语从而被外国人所接受的呢?本文将以中国特色词汇翻译成为例,介绍了一些中国特色词汇的被译成英语的方法,它们分别是音译、直译、意译等,通过这些方法可使大家基本了解中国特色词汇在英语交际是怎样被转换并被使用的,逐渐融合进传统英语中的,以满足人们日常生活中用英语交流的需要。

除此之外,还将浅谈中国特色词汇所对应的特别的英文词汇出现的原因之一:中西文化差异造成的词汇空缺。

并对文化差异进行细分详细阐述。

还将提出一些关于中国特色词汇在英语国家传播的前景的看法。

关键词:中国特色词汇;文化差异;翻译AbstractChinese culture-loaded words are becoming increasingly important in the study of China English. Chinese culture-loaded words refer to the uniqueness of Chinese items, and of course, contain the connotation of Chinese culture. With the wide spread of Chinese culture to the world, how can they be understood and accepted by foreigners accurately in translation? The paper, by giving a good number of examples, introduces some methods of translating Chinese culture-loaded words, including transliteration, literal translation, free translation and so on. These methods help to understand how Chinese culture-loaded words aretransformed into and used in English, and how they gradually integrate into the traditional English and satisfy the demand of communication in English. In addition, the paper is to expose in detail lexical gap caused by cultural differences between the East and the West. Furthermore, it also offers some views on the prospect of the spread of Chinese culture-loaded in English-speaking countries.Key words: Chinese culture-loaded words; culture differences; translation一、前言英语从它传入中国的第一天开始就发挥着强大的交流作用,同时也开始了在中国的过程。

而当中国改革开放,,,技术,社会生活等诸方面发生急剧变化的时候,一批又一批新词新语也应运而生,其数量的成长速度之快令人应接不暇。

于是在国际英语交流过程中,表现了中华文化中最有个性的内容的,具有浓郁的中国特色的词汇,在西方语言中是没有现成可以对应的词语,这就产生了对应空缺的现象,成为跨文化交际的重要障碍。

此时,研究应如何解决这个障碍,为中国文化更好的传播铺平道路显得尤为重要。

本文将对上述的一些问题进行阐述。

二、中国词汇的特点世界上的文字体系大致可以归属三类:表形文字(图画文字),表音文字(音意结合文字),表意文字(拼音文字)[1](25) 。

汉字,属于表意文字,它与世界大多数民族使用的拼音文字是有显著的差别。

它的字形结构与表意作用有着紧密的关系。

汉字的这一特点当然是由汉语的本身特点所决定的。

古代汉语中单音节词占优势,同音词多,又缺乏形态变化,加上方言分歧严重,而表意性质的汉字正可适应这些特点而满足交际的需要。

于是这种文字本身就成为中国文化的一大特色[2](362)。

那么汉语的词又是怎样造出来的呢?“汉语的字和词是分开的。

汉语的字是有限的,虽然人们还在造新字,但是这是极为有限的。

而汉语新词构造却是无限的。

”“汉字的词形较为固定,不像英语那样可以变化多端。

汉语与英语相似,采用合成法来扩充词汇,汉语的字、词拼组新词的时能力及强。

”相比之下“英语的字与词是不分的,或者说没有字,只有词。

英语虽然有自由词根(free-bound),但数量有限”就是因为汉字多体现其(形)意,所以“汉语词义比较窄,较为精确、固定、比较严谨,因而词义的伸缩性和上下文的依赖性就比较小,独立性就较大。

”[1](26)就因为中国词汇具有以上的特点,在双语转换的过程中就会出现词汇空缺的现象,而这些特点的形成与其所在的文化背景是分不开的。

三、中国特色词汇翻译的难点及成因即文化差异所造成的词汇空缺语言是在长河的发展中形成的,语言是文化的载体,文化是语言的土壤。

文化的真正意义对于本文化群体来说那是再熟悉不过的东西了,但是对于不同文化的群体,则是非常陌生的。

不同的文化造就了不同的语言群体,于是,当不同语言群体在相互交流的过程中就产生了词汇空缺,即无法在非本族语言的范围内寻找到能够表达其意思的相对应的词汇,而这些文化的差异主要表现在信仰,,道德,,风俗以及其余社会上习得的能力与习惯上(一)、传统积淀历史文化因素造成词汇空缺现象中国是具有悠久历史的东方文明古国,其传统的文化思想反应到语言上。

传统的固然在人们的脑中是根深蒂固的,就像这个“龙”字,在华夏文化中,“龙”字是传说中的神异动物之一,与凤凰、麒麟、龟合称“四灵”。

除这个字义外,它还被视为中华民族的象征,形成一种中华文化图腾,现在称炎黄子孙为“龙的传人”,可见其影响之大。

后世的很多皇帝就“龙”这个事物作为权威的象征,如坐龙椅,褂龙袍,睡龙床等等。

然而在西方国家,“龙”(dragon)是凶险的,“因为在英语的历史上从贝尔沃夫时代起,龙就是凶险邪恶的象征,是吐火伤人的怪物。

”[1](277)这是传统积淀造成的人们对同一事物的不同理解,其进一步的发展就造成了词汇空缺。

再如“中秋节”Mid-Autumn Day;“泼水节”Water-Splashing Day等,这些都是中国传统佳节,是中国优良文化的积淀,悠久历史传承至今的瑰宝,这些传统文化佳节现在已经不仅仅是被中国人所专有,它们也在一些喜欢中国文化的外国人中流行起来。

而欧美信仰的是基督教,所以有不少词汇包括他们的节日都与《圣经》和基督教有关,如a covenant of salt(不可背弃的盟约),as poor as a church mouse(家徒四壁);较之,汉族文化的重要组成部分与佛教和道教是分不开的,如:苦海无边,回头是岸,佛法无边。

再有一些如“武术” wu shu ,“功夫” kung fu,“扭秧歌”yang ko,这些民间的特色文化,在中国还未对外开放,这些对西方人来说都是闻所未闻的,这些都反映了这两种不同的历史文化所造成的词汇空缺。

(二)、地域文化的差异造成的词汇空缺地域文化差异指的是一个民族所处的地理位置、自然条件和生态环境等不同所形成的文化差异。

语言的产生与人们的劳动和生活有很大的关系,中国英语中大量的成语、典故、俚语、俗语、格言、谚语等都带有浓烈的汉名族特色和地域色彩。

汉民族是生活在亚洲大陆上,人们的生活离不开土地。

而英国是一个岛国,航海业一直很发达。

两者的不同就出现了汉语文化中很多词汇与土地有关,而在英语词汇中很多都与海有关;例如,汉语用“土崩瓦解”形容彻底崩溃,无法收拾,而英文用“get into hot water”表示陷于困境。

“烂醉如泥”英文用drunk as a sailor,这里不用泥,而用的是水手[3]。

此外,地域的差异影响到的气象变化进而还会影响到农牧业,这方面的不同是造成中英无对应词汇的另一个因素。

不列颠岛西北山区潮湿多雨,其后属湿润型,在树林里适合生长蘑菇,而中国地处东南亚,幅员辽阔,各地的其后差别也是相当大的,于是汉语中用来比喻新事物迅速大量地涌现出来的成语“雨后春笋”被译成英文时就为spring up like mushrooms or to mushroom up。

(三)、习俗文化的差异造成的词汇空缺英汉风俗习惯的差异体现在许多方面,如饮食,婚嫁,节气,对色彩的偏爱,亲属关系等等。

这些差异也常常使语言间出现相对的词汇空缺现象。

比如,在中国,人们喜欢在喜庆的节日里用红色来装扮,认为红色代表着吉祥好运,新人在结婚的时候都喜欢穿着红色的衣服;而在西方国家里它们则认为红色代表着暴力与血腥,新人们在婚礼时则以白色来代表它们纯洁无瑕的爱情,但在中国,白色却时常表示不幸[4]。

所以英语中的吉日不是中国人所想象的a red day正确的应该是a white day。

而汉语中所说的红人则不可以翻译成a red-haired girl,其正确的译法应该是a white headed boy. 再来看看在对待动物的态度上,英民族喜爱宠物,狗是他们最喜爱的宠物之一,他们认为狗很忠诚。

而狗在汉文化中却是一种卑微的动物,它被人看作是“低贱”的代名词。

所以与狗有关的词语大多含有贬义,如:“狗胆包天”“狗仗人势”“狗腿子”“狗头军师”“狗急跳墙”;但英文中,有关狗的词语大多没有贬义,如:“居于高位” be top dog;“幸运儿” a lucky dog。

再如,中国古时候女子要以三寸金莲为美,于是就有女子“裹足”bound feet: a vile feudal practice which crippled women both physically and spiritually, 以及“童养媳”child wife: girl raised from childhood to be wife of son of family.还有一些反映中国居住习惯的词如“炕”kang: a heatable brick bed等等。

以上都可以被看成是习俗文化的差异造成的词汇空缺。
