Abstract: From the scientific definition, the color is the visual effect of light resulted from the eyes, brain and our life experience. The vocabulary of color in both English and Chinese is extremely rich. Instead of the basic meanings of their own, more attention has been put on the deep symbolic meaning, because the symbolic significances of the color in different national language often have different characteristics. Some of them have been the advocate and taboo through expounding and transferring. All of those have caused a misleading in the cross-culture communication and a difficulty in the translation.

This thesis is about the translation of the color terms. After the general understanding and introduction to the features of the color words, the paper is discussed from two perspectives. First it is discussed the similarities and differences of the four basic colors in both English and Chinese. Then this paper gives five practical translating methods according to the deep cultural connotations.

Key words: Color; Comparison; Translating Methods

摘要:颜色是通过眼,脑和我们的生活经验所产生的一种对光的视觉效应。在汉英语言中,表示是颜色的词极为丰富。我们不仅要注意他们本身的基本意义,更要留心它们含义深广的象征意义,因为颜色的象征意义在不同民族语言中往往有不同的特点,有些甚至人们对经过引申,转义后颜色的崇尚和禁忌。而这些原因构成了跨文化交际的误点,也成了中英翻译的难点。

本文是对英汉颜色词翻译的浅谈。首先是对颜色词特征做一个总体的介绍,接着分析了四种英汉基本颜色词的差异对比,然后从英汉互译的角度的角度讨论了三种主流翻译方法,最后,根据深刻文化内涵方面阐述了五种翻译技巧。
