Cultural Differences and Translation Limits

Culture is a complex concept; it includes knowledge, religion, politics, arts, laws, customs and the ability of any national peopleat a certain time as a social member. Therefore, different nationalities have different cultures.

rocky mass/cancer： any malignant tumor occurring on body surface that looks and feels like rock In classical Chinese medicine, the character 岩 （literally meaning rock） means the same thing as 癌 （malignant tumor）. That is why it is now usually translated as ＂cancer＂ or ＂carcinoma＂, which is adopted in the WFCMS Standard. To translate it as ＂rocky mass＂ in the WPRO Standard appears quite unique and sounds semantically equivalent to the original term.

他者、杂糅与翻译:后现代视域下英汉融合双关语翻译研究

后现代思潮对异质性、互文性的强调在翻译研究中掀起了一场全方位的认知革命。解构主义、后殖民主义、女权主义翻译观使翻译研究者开始关注传统翻译互动中两种类型的“他者”:传统二元等级结构中作为弱势群体的“他者”和在二元临界地带流浪的游离性“他者”。长期以来,翻译学界对第一类“他者”给予了充分的关注,但对处于二元临界地带流浪的游离性“他者”并未引起足够的重视。作为游离性“他者”在文本层面的典型体现,英汉融合双关语这一新型杂糅文本逐渐兴起并已进入中国大众的日常生活,却并未在学界得到应有的关注。该类文本不可通约的“他者性”和“创造性”特质有利于人们重新思考翻译的定义、可译性和翻译伦理问题,为后现代翻译研究提供新的视角。

基于语料库的服装英语语言特征及汉译研究

为了实现服装用语准确翻译,促进服饰文化传播,建立服装英语单语语料库,选取通用英语语料库作为参照,从词汇和句法两个方面对服装英语文本特征进行分析。发现服装英语文本用词丰富,存在一定量纯科技词汇和半科技词汇,名词化结构多,被动句和长句多。根据文本特征,探究其汉译策略,得出如下结论:从词汇来看,翻译纯科技词汇,需参照标准译文;对于半科技词汇,合理引申,查找求证;名词化结构可译成动词或四字格。从句法来看,对于被动句,可采用以下4种译法:变换主语、译成无主语句、增加逻辑主语以及使用“由、给、受、让、得以、加以”等词表达被动意义。对于长句的翻译,主要原则是打破关系找顺序,主要策略是分离重组。

接受美学视域下的中国古典散文英译分析——以《项脊轩志》的两个译本为例

接受美学理论是以审美主体欣赏、接受审美客体的具体过程为研究中心的美学流派,该理论以读者为中心,强调读者阅读过程中对文本空白和不确定性填补的重要性,对文学创作和文学研究都有重要影响。而在翻译实践中,接受美学理论同样有启示作用,其重要概念引起译者对读者的关注,进而影响译者翻译过程中对文本的解读和翻译策略的选择。该文基于接受美学理论,选取中国古典散文《项脊轩志》的两个英译本为对比研究材料,分析译者对期待视野或召唤结构的关注度,以及接受美学的重要概念在译本中的具体体现和相应影响,旨在探究接受美学理论之于散文英译的指导意义,为中国文学“走出去”提供一定的借鉴。

知识翻译学“真善美”逻辑法则下中国现代散文英译评析——以张培基《英译中国现代散文选》为例

向世界讲好中国散文故事,感受中国散文的英译魅力,要主动“阐幽抉微”,在英译的曲径中精细入微,探得真知灼见。中国现代散文,以文白夹杂的语言形式、文哲相生的语言风格、情理交融的意境构建、形散神聚的情感表达和灵活多样的修辞运用为基本特点。以张培基的《英译中国现代散文选》为例,从知识翻译学的视角出发,以“真、善、美”的逻辑法则为指导,研究译者的翻译思路,对于分析现代散文所体现的知识价值具有重要意义。采用案例分析的方法,通过原文与译文的对比评析,不仅探究译者的翻译思路,还深入挖掘散文源语言的知识本体,揭示散文英译中的知识内涵,从而拓展知识翻译学在散文英译中的应用价值。这一研究对于中国现代散文的英译研究及其译介传播具有重要的参考价值。

高低语境下英汉翻译策略研究

在全球化趋势不可阻挡的当下,跨文化交际的重要性不言而喻,而跨文化交际又与言语和语境两个因素密切相关。高低语境文化使用言语表达时,对语境依赖程度不同,这会对不同语言的翻译造成一定的影响。从高低语境文化的介绍中引入,对高低语境下英汉语言特点进行分析,并探究造成英汉语言差异的原因,最后对高低语境下英汉翻译策略进行说明。研究高低语境下的英汉翻译策略有助于提高跨文化交际效果,同时也有助于推动不同文化之间的相互交流。

衔接与连贯在政治文本英译中的运用——以《习近平谈治国理政》(第一卷)英译本为例

新时代背景下,随着我国各方面事业不断发展,影响力不断提升,传播好中国声音的重要性越发凸显,对政治类文本的翻译质量提出了更高的要求。长期以来,对于部分政治类中文文本中出现的文字堆砌、形式单调的情况,外译工作者为求忠实性原则,不得不牺牲文章的可读性和连贯性。为更好展现我国形象,提高政治文本外宣水平,该文采取案例分析法,对《习近平谈治国理政》(第一卷)英译本中的衔接与连贯现象进行研究。研究发现,该类翻译实践需要做到显性和隐性的双重连贯,要考虑到思维差异、文化传统、国家利益和政治局势,并采取指称、省略、同现、复现等翻译技巧进行处理。

英语与汉语语法特点探讨

英语语法和汉语语法往往会体现出各自独特的特点。英语语法以形态变化、时态变化和严谨结构关系为典型特征,而汉语语法以无严格形态变化、词类和句法成分的复杂关系,以及丰富的量词和语气词为特色。在英汉互译的过程中,需要深入了解两种语法的具体差异,准确把握两种语言的表达习惯,从而准确传达原文的意义和风格,同时还要在其中积极关注翻译过程中的语境和文化因素,使英汉翻译体现出应有的准确性和地道性。该研究旨在深入探讨英语语法和汉语语法的特点,以期为英汉翻译实践领域提供相应的理论支持与实用指导。
