我国大学校训的文化内涵及外译策略

Cultural Meaning and Translation Strategy of School Motto in Our Chinese Universities

校训是一所大学精神内涵的体现,是大学文化与办学理念的高度浓缩,具有简洁凝练、易于诵读且含义丰富等特点,同时具有对内教化育人、对外沟通交流的功能。校训作为一种相对独立且特别的应用文体,具有丰富的国学文化内涵,大多源于国学典范、时代精神及办学理念,其构词简洁明快,句型整齐对称,注重修辞美学。随着中西方交流日益加深,大学校训的外译受到了广泛关注,因此,在大学校训外译时应充分体现我国国学文化的深刻内涵,以求为我国大学对外交流和长远发展起到一定程度的推动作用。
