Introduction 内容来自论文无忧网 www.paper51.com Wordchoice in translation is a superb art, which requires not only elegance inform, but also accuracy in meaning. To grasp the exact meaning of words,translators often have to turn to various dictionaries for help. However, inthe use of dictionaries, they may find themselves faced with some problems. paper51.com Thefirst problem is of bilingual dictionaries, in which an English word is oftenprovided with several Chinese equivalents. For example, in the Advanced Learner’sEnglish-Chinese Dictionary(sixth), under the entity of "furious", six equivalents are found: 狂怒的，暴怒的；激烈的，猛烈的，高速的，盛怒的 and in English-Chinese-AComparative Study(陈定安,1991,p182), another seven Chinese equivalents are listed: 怒气冲冲，满脸怒气，勃然大怒，火冒三丈，怒火中烧，大发雷霆，怒从心头起. In this case, how shouldwe choose a proper word for our translation? paper51.com Thesecond one is related to the meaning provided in the dictionary. As is known toall, a word has not only conceptual meaning but also different types ofassociative meaning. Usually, what the dictionary gives is only the conceptualmeaning of words. Just coping thedenotative meaning directly from the dictionary may cause a loss in connotativemeaning，social meaning, affective meaning,reflective meaning, collocative meaning or thematic meaning. In this case, whatshould we do? copyright paper51.com Thethird one is relevant to some new words that have not been collected into thedictionary. As is well known, it often takes many years of time to compile agood dictionary, while with the change of the world, new words keep emergingconstantly. So it often occurs that we cannot find the explanation of somewords in various dictionaries. In this case, what should we do? paper51.com Tofind answers to the above questions, the author believes that we should startfrom the analysis of factors that affect the word choice in translation. Onlyafter we get a better understanding of those influences can we deal with theproblems more skillfully. Therefore, in the following part, the author willdiscuss the influence of culture, context, and style on word choice throughexample analysis after a review of previous scholars' opinions. It is hopedthat the article can help translators improve their translation quality. http://www.paper51.com |
