中西文化在文化渊源、思维方式、价值理念等方面存在着差异,而文化词及文化含义词本身常常是这些差异集中的表现点。随着我国对外经济文化日益频繁,一些载有中国独特文化的词汇在英语中产生意义缺位现象。翻译汉语文化词及文化含义词时通常采用四种翻译方法 :音译、意译、直译加释义、半音译等。 Differences exist between Chinese and Western cultures in terms of their cultural origins, ways of thinking, value concepts, etc. Cultural words and cultural meanings themselves are often the performance points of these differences. With the increasing economic and cultural externalities in our country, some words containing Chinese unique culture have a meaning absence phenomenon in English. When translating Chinese cultural words and cultural meanings, four kinds of translation methods are usually used: transliteration, free translation, literal translation and paraphrase, semi-transliteration and so on.
