二、中国特色新词的概念及分类中国特色新词,顾名思义,指的是那些具有中国文化特色、反映中国社会、经济、科技发展以及人民日常生活变化的新词汇。
这些词汇通常源于汉语的创新词汇、外来语的音译或意译、以及网络流行语等。
这些新词不仅反映了中国社会的快速发展和变迁,也丰富了汉语的词汇库,为语言的发展注入了新的活力。
创新词汇:这类词汇是基于汉语自身的构词规则和语义演变而产生的。
例如,“互联网+”“一带一路”“供给侧改革”等,这些词汇都是基于中国特有的政策、经济或社会现象而产生的。
外来语音译:随着中国与世界的交流日益频繁,许多外来词汇被引入汉语,并通过音译的方式转化为中文词汇。
例如,“咖啡”(coffee)、“披萨”(pizza)、“迪斯科”(disco)等。
外来语意译:除了音译外,许多外来词汇也被直接意译为中文,以保持其原有的含义。
浅析中国特色新词的翻译By Yang1.Definition of the latest termsAs regards to the definition of the latest terms, different scholars give different definitions for different research needs. Alleged the latest terms are the words with new connotations and new forms that exist in the original vocabulary system, or those which do not exist in original vocabulary system but have new connotations. The latest terms can also be named as neologism, invented words, which are all created for the new things, new phenomenon, new expressions, and new concepts. It is a relative concept with developing nature. It is new in this period and old in another, and every epoch has its new words. According to Oxford Advanced Learner’s English-Chinese Dictionary(2002), “Neologism” (latest terms) can be defined as “newly-invented word”, while in Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English, a “Neologism” is “a new word or expression, or a new meaning for an older word”.Numerous scholars have shown great interests in the emergence of the latest terms in languages. At the same time, some of the scholars engage themselves in exploring this linguistic phenomenon. As regards to the definition of the latest terms, some scholars suggest that the latest term is the idiom used to described a word that has been invented or made up by a speaker (Chen, 2003: 25). And others state that the latest term may be a slang word that has yet to find its way into mainstream conversation. Among all the distinctive definitions of the latest terms, Peter Newmark precisely defines the latest term “it is a newly-coined lexical unit or existing lexical unit that acquires new sense.” (Peter Newmark,2005:100)2. Classification of the latest Chinese termsSince the implementation of the reform and opening-up policy in China, the changes of language increasingly accelerate as the rapid development of society, economy, culture and scientific technology. The increase of the latest Chinese terms becomes faster than any other period. Some learners believe that about one thousand latest terms occur per year in Chinese, and three a day on the average. It can be seen that a large number and a high speed are the most outstanding features of the latest terms. Such kinds of the latest terms can be seen as the symbol of the social development. And the second feature of the latest terms is that it covers a greatly wide range of Chinese society. They can be seen from almost all aspects of the society, such as politics, economy, science and technology, culture. The latest Chinese terms generated in recent years can be divided into the following categorie s.2.1 Terms about politicsThere are many latest new terms occurring in formal written language, which have strong political undertones and closely related to the current political situation of China.

Especially in these years, a lot of new inventions and scientific events appear in our life. The English translation of such terms are as follows:神州飞船-----Shenzhou Spaceship 火炬计划-----Torch program功能食品-----functional food 子弹头列车-----bullet train厄尔尼诺现象-----ELNINO 核威慑力-----nuclear deterrent中国硅谷-----China‟s Silicon Valley2.4 Terms about entertainmentWith the promotion of the level of our social life, more and more people have paid more attention to entertainment so as to make their life more colorful and exciting.

浅析中国特色新词汇的英译
随着中国的发展,中国特色的文化、制度、社会现象逐渐受到国际社会的关注,而这些独特的事物往往难以用传统的语言形式准确表达。
因此,“中国特色新词汇”成为了一种经常被使用的语言现象。
随着这种现象的出现,翻译问题也变得越来越重要。
本文将对中国特色新词汇的英译进行浅析。
一、新词汇的创造和定义
中国特色新词汇的创造是与中国特色社会主义的发展紧密相关的。
新词汇的涌现源于对现代社会新变革的深入研究和整理,并突破传统概念而提出的全新观点。
通过对新变革的加以归纳总结,总结出适用的概念,并通过媒体、宣传和学术研究等途径加以推广。
随着新词汇的涌现,相应的定义也随之出现。
这些定义包括对新词汇背后相关概念、政策和思想的描述和说明。
这些定义主要有以下几种:
1. 英文直译:直接翻译中文原意,通常用于跨国企业、洋货店等;
2. 英文释义:在解释新词汇的内涵的基础上,给出具有普适性的英文翻译,以适应国际社会的需要;
3. 英文创造:为了准确表达中文的特殊含义,通过翻译人员的创造和创新,创造一种适合于英文语境的新词汇。
二、英语翻译中遇到的问题
中国特色新词汇翻译的困难在于其在中文中独特的语言特点。
这些特点包括形成的文化背景、习惯用语、文化隐喻、民族特色等等。
由于以往在中国的翻译过程中大量依赖字面翻译,导致出现翻译不准,甚至出现歧义的情况。
因此,中国特色新词汇的翻译需要针对不同的背景和内涵,考虑英语语境下的确切含义,并使用适当的语言形式来表达。
1. 音译的困难
中国特色新词汇中经常出现的音译问题,往往会给英语翻译带来不少的困难。
特别是在涉及到人名、地名、口音或行业中术语的时候,需要翻译者特别注意。
在音译中,翻译人员要尽可能地保留原词的音韵和节奏,使其有助于读者的理解和记忆。
2. 习惯用语和文化隐喻
中国特色新词汇中还存在大量与文化相关的习惯用语和隐喻。
这些只有了解中国文化和传统习惯的人才能真正理解,而对于外国人而言,往往需要进行解释。
例如,“中国梦”中所包
含的“天下同梦”就是一个相对外来的概念,对于读者来说可能
会产生误解。
因此,翻译人员还需要充分考虑英语读者对文化隐喻的理解程度,以创造适合英文语境的表述。
三、翻译方法
为了更好地贴近于英语语境并且传达准确的中文概念和信息,翻译人员应该使用适当的技巧和方法:
1. 直接翻译
对于标准的汉语表达,直接翻译通常是最为简单直接有效的。
直接翻译可以帮助英语读者了解中文中的基本概念和意义。
2. 形容词和副词的使用
为了更好地传达中文特有的含义和内涵,在翻译过程中也需要注意使用形容词和副词的正确使用。
这些修饰词可以帮助翻译人员传达出更加准确和恰当的涵义。
3. 比喻和类比
比喻和类比可以帮助翻译人员将中文充满文化内涵和语言特色的表达方式更准确地翻译成英文。
这些工具可以帮助英语读者更清楚地了解中文词汇的含义和特点。
4. 创新和创造
由于中文和英语的差异,翻译人员有时需要创新和创造新词汇以确保传达出中文特有的含义和内涵。
这种创造具有普遍性、适用性和使人难忘的特点,因此需要特殊处理。
综上所述,中国特色新词汇的英译面临着诸多的问题和挑战。
翻译人员应该考虑语言难度、质量和适应性,同时采用适当的技巧,确保翻译的准确性和清晰度。
只有这样才能更好地将中国的特色和特点传递到国际社会中去。
