英汉“显性”与“隐性”文化语义的翻译

On Tacit and Explicit Cultural Semantics in English-Chinese Translation

无论是显性文化语义还是隐性文化语义,都蕴含着一个民族独特的文化信息。鉴于异质文化之间的"异"远大过"同",文化语义的翻译切忌字面照搬,相比之下语境等效翻译,也即Nida提倡的"动态对等翻译"和New-mark倡导的"交际翻译"效果更为理想。

Both tacit cultural semantics and explicit cultural semantics contain some unique ethnic cultural information of a nation. Translation of cultural semant;cs should not be done literally because difference between Chinese culture and Angro-Ameriean culture is too great. In contrast, Nida＇s equivalent translation, in other words, dynamic equivalence, and Newmarks communicative translation seem to be a better approach to ideal effect in E-C and C-E translation.
