生态翻译学视角下英语文化特色词的汉译研究

英语文化特色词的汉译对于我们了解英语文化,促进跨中英文化交流起着至关重要的作用。对于英语文化特色词的汉译可以从生态翻译学的视角出发,运用生态翻译学"三维转换"的原则,从语言维、文化维和交际维三个维度对文本进行适应性选择转换,以达到最佳翻译。

基于COCA语料库的英语文化特色词的翻译

从英语文化特色词与英语文化之间的关系入手,探讨了英语文化特色词的五种翻译方法,然后通过检索16个英语文化特色词在COCA语料库中的使用频率,得出不同使用频率的文化特色词应该使用不同的翻译方法的规律,即高频使用的文化特色词的隐喻程度高,所以在翻译的时候应该采用意译法,或者直译加解释翻译法;而低频使用的文化特色词的隐喻程度低,应多采用直译法或者文化替代翻译法。

浅谈外语特色词的仿造翻译法

在双语词典编纂和翻译中,对于由文化差异等造成的译入语词汇表达上的空白,人们习惯用音译和意译的方法来处理,但这常常会造成译文有形无义或有义无形,留下一些遗憾。而仿造翻译注重从形义两方面来传递源语的指称内容,能在很大程度上改善翻译质量;弄清语际仿造词的构造特点,对外语新词或文化特色词的翻译是十分有益的。本文从语际仿造词与借词的区别、语际仿造词的类型及特征等几个方面探讨一种有效的语词翻译方法——仿造翻译法。

Event-related potentials associated with Chinese and English color-word Stroop tasks in Chinese bilinguals

Objective:To investigate the neural electrophysiologieal activity underlying Chinese and Eng- lish Stroop tasks for Chinese English bilinguals.Methods:Event-related potentials(ERPs)were recorded in 14 Chinese bilinguals with a moderate command of English when they performed the Stroop task pre- sented in English words and Chinese characters,respectively.Results:In Chinese task version,it was found an increased positivity over bilateral front-polar regions on incongruent trials compared with congru- ent trials,followed by an increased negativity over fronto-central region and an increased positivity over occipital region.While in English task version,only the increased negativity was observed over fronto-cen- tral region,but with reduced amplitude and anterior distribution.Conclusion:This increased negativity was proposed as an index of the resolution processes of conflicting information in the incongruent situa- tion.The increased positivity over occipital region on Chinese incongruent trials may indicate visually rechecking effect for Chinese character.
