摘要
美国《新闻周刊》最近对小沈阳的报道"The Dirtiest Man in China",特别是这个题目本身,是一个非常有趣的文化缺省案例,反映了英汉语文化在媒体与隐私关系上的一个重要观念差异。而对于dirtiest这个词的理解与翻译障碍,属于多元文化向一元文化阐释与翻译过程中一个典型障碍。它向我们提示了一个也许值得进一步探究的翻译研究方向。
The recent controversial Newsweek report on Little Shenyang, entitled ＂The Dirtiest Man in China,＂ especially the title itself is an interesting type of cultural default： It shows some major difference between the Chinese culture and the English cultures about the relationship between media and privacy. In addition, the sensational ＂dirtiest＂ has posed a stumbling block to Chinese readers＇ interpretation and translation effort of it. As a sex-related word, ＂dirty＂ is multivalent, while its recognized equivalents in Chinese are all derogatory： they are all monovalent. The translation between multivalent words in one language and their seeming equivalents which are monovalent is worthy of further exploration.
