论文关键词：国俗语义汉英对比跨文化交际 论文摘要：本文将举例并对比分析汉英词语国俗语义差异的几种类型，即国俗语义基本一致；国俗语义部分一致；国俗语义不一致或者相反；国俗语义只在一种语言中存在。旨在充分了解汉英两种语言在这些方面的异同，为进行更好的翻译、跨文化交际做好准备。 一、引言 翻译作为一种跨文化交际的行为涉及到得不仅仅是语言，更多的是对两种文化的转换。作为最小的能够独立运用的语言单位，词汇本身承载着很多文化民族意义，也就是国俗语义。因此在进行翻译的过程中，译者需要充分考虑到汉英两种词汇在国俗语义方面的差距，为更好的跨文化交际做准备。 二、汉英对应词语的国俗语义关系及其翻译 国俗语义是指在词汇的实体指称意义上添加的一个民族文化含义，在反映概念的基础上增添了附加民族文化色彩，离开民族文化背景，难以准确理解词语的含义。英汉对应词语的国俗语义在跨文化交际中呈现出同异并存的现象。下文就这四种情形分别举例植物词以及习语进行讨论。 1对应词语的国俗语义基本一致时的翻译 由于事物本身的属性是一致的，人们对某些事物的现象的认识能力大同小异，因此，英汉有些对应词语的国俗语义基本一致。在对此了解的基础上，译者方可直译意象，达到传神。 植物词。laurel(桂树)：中西方人都将laurels(桂冠)视为“胜利”、“荣誉”和“辉煌成就”的象征。汉语中“蟾宫折桂”喻指科举及第、“丹桂”是月亮的代称、“桂树”喻指“长寿”。因此在翻译“look to one’s laurels”和“win one’s laurels”可分别洋为“确保声誉”和“金榜题名”。 习浯。这里的国俗语义基本可分为两种情况：第一种在内容方面也就是二者的意思、思想等完全一样或几乎完全一样。形式方而也就是二者在词、句的表达方面完全一样或几乎完全一样。比如“just so so”和“不过尔尔”；”A No.1”和“天字第一号”等等。第二种如“to burn one’s boat”和“破釜沉舟”；”t0 one’s heart’s desire”和“称心如意”等，这些习语形式不一，但是表达了相同的内容。从对比中我们不难看出了解国俗语义差别对翻译具有很重要的指导作用。 2对应词语的国俗语义部分一致时的翻译 汉英对应词的国俗语义存在只有部分一致或相似，也就是说，对应的国俗同语在某些方面会引起不同民族的共同联想，而在其它方面却会引起不同的联想。此时要求译者充分了解语境，对词汇意义进行分析，而后选择翻译策略。 植物词。willow(柳)：从前英国人戴柳枝编成的帽子表示哀思，英美许多文学作品中，就用willow来象征因失去心爱的人，尤其是恋人而感到的悲伤。“柳”在汉语中也有“离别”、“忧渤”、“苗条”、“避邪”等国俗语义。古代送别诗中，常以“折柳赠别”或以“折柳”代称送别，其中蕴含着诸多令人神伤的离情别绪。同时汉语中也用“柳姿”形容女子姿色，又用“柳”比喻女子眉毛纤细、身段苗条。这在英语中就会显得奇怪，如红楼梦中对黛玉的描述，在翻译时要注意。 习语。在习语方面，汉英的对应词上出现了一种不对等的部分对应，即两种不同的表达
熟语翻译 熟语是经过长期的历史演变和社会发展，逐渐沉淀下来的短小精悍，朗朗上口，形象生动，具有民族和地方特色的固定表达。就其广义而言，英语熟语包括俗语（Colloquialisms),谚语（Proverbs）,俚语（Slang Expressions）等，汉语熟语包括成语，谚语，歇后语等。由于熟语是语言中的重要修辞手段，熟语翻译的好坏会直接影响到整个译文的质量。一般来讲，翻译时除了忠实的表达原文的意思外，还应尽可能保持原文熟语的形象比喻，丰富联想，修辞效果以及其民族，地方特色等。 熟语的翻译有四种主要方法： （1）直译法；（2）直译解释法；（3）等值熟语的借用法；（4）意译法。 （1）直译法 所谓直译法，是指把熟语原文的意思用译入语直接了当的表达出来，对原文的内容不加以增删，也不做任何解释。 英译汉： A gentleman's agreement 君子协议 The open-door policy "门户开放"政策 A cat has nine lives 猫有九条命 汉译英: 门缝看人，把人看扁了！If you look at a person through a crack in the door,he look flat! 三人行，必有我师。When I walk along with two others,they may serve me as my teachers. (2)直译解释法 所谓直译解释法，是指把熟语部分原文的意思用译入语直接了当的表达出来，对原文涉及文化背景差异的内容加以解释或意译出来。 英译汉： Cat one's coat according to one's cloth 看布裁衣——量入为出；适应环境 See how the wind blows 看风向——了解情况 汉译英： 天涯处处有芳草。There are fragrant flowers in every land --there are able men everywhere 水至清则无鱼。Fish do not come when water is too clear --one should not demand absolute purity.

中英俗语的文化差异及英汉翻译 摘要：在教学的基础上探讨了翻译的多种技巧，如意译、词的增省法、词类转换法、正反表达法、音译法、长句的顺译法、逆译法与拆分法、习语翻译法等，供初学者参考。翻译有很多很多种技巧与方法，这里不一一赘述。翻译是艺术、技巧与科学三者的统一与结合，学习者要坚持不懈地努力学习和探索其规律。 关键词：英语；汉语；翻译；技巧 翻译是一门艺术，又是一门科学。它需要翻译工作者通过精心研究讲英语国家的政治、经济、文化、教育、宗教、风土人情等诸多方面的文化因素后，进行再创作。在此想探讨几点英汉翻译的技巧。一、词义引申法也叫意译英汉两种语言属于不同的语系，差异很大，又加上英汉两民族的历史背景、风土人情、社会习俗、文化生活等各方面大相径庭。要根据特定的场合来判断意义。例如：（1）Thiswasthelaststraw.I wasveryyoungandtheprospectof working under a woman constituted the ultimate indigni－ty[1 ~2].此句中的“last straw”不能翻译为“最后的稻草”而应译为“终于忍无可忍”比较贴切。所以我们在翻译句子时不能只从字面的意义上去解释。（2）He is the last person for such a job（.译：他最不配干这个工作。）[3]黄色，汉语中有“黄色书籍”、“黄色电影”、“黄色音乐”。汉语“黄色”有着“色情pornographic”、“猥琐，淫秽ob－scene”“，淫猥filthy”“、庸俗，下流vulgar”之意义。但英语黄色是本义。“黄色书籍”可翻译为filthy book“；黄色电影”可译为pornographic pictures，obscene movies；“黄色音乐”可译为vulgar music[4]。二、词类转换翻译法在翻译中有时将词类一一对应翻译，很难。划线部分的词是翻译时转换了词类的。例如：（3）The sight and sound of our jet planes filled me withspecial longing（.译：看到我们的喷气式飞机，听到隆隆的机声，令我特别神往）[3]（名词转换为动词）（4）His address impressed me deeply. 译文：他的讲话给我很深的印象（副词转化为形容词）。三、正反表达法在英汉翻译时，有时候要根据需要灵活运用肯定句和否定句的正反表达法，使译文符合汉语表达习惯，不让人产生歧义与误会。例如（划线部分的词即用词翻译法）：（5）The first bombs missed the target.译文：第一批炸弹没有击中目标（英语肯定句翻译成汉语否定句）[3]。（6）The decision has to come. 译文：决定还没做出（英语肯定句翻译成汉语否定句）[3]。四、音译英语里没有“包子”、“馒头”、“油条”、“饺子”之类的食物，在字典里，“油饼”翻译为“oil-cake”；“馒头”则翻译为“steamed bread”。但汉语的油饼cake，馒头与bread 相去甚远。“饺子”，英语里没有饺子的字眼，人们用“dumpling”指称饺子，但“dumpling”原本指在沸水中滚动的东西，并不指食物，这些翻译都不太好。因此有人直接音译为“jiaozi”、“baozi”“、mantou”等。又如英语的“modern（时髦）”翻译成汉语“摩登”，就是音译的典范。五、长句的翻译方法1.顺译法。即顺着英文原有的顺序翻译。英语句子的内容与叙述方式同汉语习惯基本一致。（7）But now it is realized that supplies of some of themare limited，and it is even possible to give a reasonable esti－mate of their“expectation of life”，the time it will take to ex－haust all known sources and reserves of these materials[5]。整个句子按照顺序翻译为：可是现在人们意识到，其中有些矿物质的蕴藏量是有限的，人们甚至还可以比较合理地估计出这些矿物质“可望存在多少年”，也就是说，经过若干年后，这些矿物的全部已知矿源和储量将消耗殆尽。2.逆译法。就是对语序作变更调整。例如：（8）What is the nature of the scientific attitude，the atti －tude of the man and woman who studies and applies physics，biology，chemistry，geology，engineering，medicine or any otherscience[6]？（翻译：学习和应用物理学，生物学，化学，地质学，工程学，医学或其他自然科学的男男女女的人们的科学态度的本质是什么？）在此句中，不仅斜体部分的定语从句在译文中的语序有所改变，调整到了被修饰语attitude 之前，
