零翻译词对汉语语言和文化的影响

The Impact of Zero Translation Words on Chinese Language and Culture

零翻译词有两种形态:移译词和音译词。零翻译词对汉语语言有正面影响:不但增加汉语音节、音素、词素,还使汉语词形、音、义相结合的规则增多,也使汉语固有词增加新的义项。零翻译词对汉语文化有负面影响:产生模糊的文化语义,使汉语错失吸纳异质文化精髓的机会,削弱汉语抵御英语文化霸权的能力。决策部门应该综合考虑各方面因素,制定积极稳健的语言和文化政策,引导零翻译词合理、有效地进入汉语。

There are two forms of zero translation words： loan words （acronyms） and transliteration words~ Zero translation words can exert a positive influence on Chinese （language） in that they can not only increase syllables, phonemes, morphemes and combination rules among word forms, sounds and meanings in Chinese but also add new meanings to inherent words in Chinese. On the other hand, zero translation words have a negative impact on Chinese culture, for they may give rise to vague cultural meanings and deprive Chinese （language） of the chance of absorbing the quintessence of foreign cultures and weaken the Chinese capacity to resist the cultural hegemony of English ~ As such, relevant departments should take into overall account various factors and formulate positive and moderate language and cultural policies so as to lead zero translation words into Chinese language in a rational and effective manner.
