从文化视角看流行语英译(2)
Vogue words are a ubiquitous phenomenon of social language, and reflect the features in politics, economics, technology, culture and social life in a specific period. Since 1980s, Chinese vogue words studies have attracted attention from Chinese linguistic circle, and become the hot topic discussed by language workers especially the lexicographers and linguists. By making a comprehensive survey of previous dissertations and books on Chinese vogue words, we can conclude that most researches done before are about the collection of vogue words, and various Chinese vogue words dictionaries on multidisciplinary and single subjects appear consequently. Besides, some papers are on the characteristics of the study on Chinese Vogue Words and their translations.
The study of Chinese vogue words translation as an academic area is relatively new in China as well as in the west. Published research works in this field from a cultural aspect is even more difficult to find. Even though there are some studies related to Chinese vogue words，they only list the C-E translations of these words，or introduce some translation methods without a systematic exploration of the features, classifications, and translation pre-misunderstandings and cultural elements. Thus, this research attempts to systematically employ the cultural translation theory in analyzing the English translation of Chinese vogue words with the purposes of illuminating the cultural reasons behind one of the most widely used translation theory-Functional Equivalence Theory, and solving the ensuing problems in the current Chinese vogue words translations. Studying and evaluating a number of typical examples of Chinese vogue words，the writer attempts to categorize them, analyze the principles, and propose some techniques for their translations. Hopefully, the techniques suggested in this thesis would serve as a reference for further research.
The research is pided into five parts. The intention of this paper is to explore the application:
Part one: Introduction. In this part, it will refer to the background and the significance of this research, also including a whole view of the structure of this research. Part two: the brief introduction to the relations between Chinese vogue words and Translations. Part three: an introduction about Susan Bassnett’s cultural translation theory and Eugene Nida’s theory. Part four: mainly talking about the translation of Chinese vogue words including the methods, different kinds of classification and comparisons between English and Chinese, both in language and in culture. It also elaborates on the translatability of Chinese vogue words into English. Part five: Conclusion. In this part, it will put all the theories and culture information together to make a conclusion in a whole. The major implications, 1imitations of the research and the suggestions for future research are also stated.
