文化词语[1].doc

翻译之文化交流传说，世界上本来只有一种语言，上帝让同种族的我们分散到各地，演变成多种语言。然后，由于地域、历史等差异，各个民族的文化各不相同。而拉近距离最好的方式，就是沟通。文化的交流当然是不可或缺的。一、词汇汉字的四声（平声、上声、仄声和去声） the four tones of Chinese characters, namely, the level tone, the rising tone, the falling-rising tone, and the falling tone笔画 stroke部首 radical偏旁 basic character component象形文字 pictograph独角戏 monodrama/one-man play皮影戏 shadow play折子戏 opera highlights单口相声 monologue comic talk对口相声 comic cross talk说书 monologue story-telling传说 legend神话 mythology寓言 fable武术 martial art气功 controlled breathing exercise气功疗法 breathing technique therapy春联 spring couplet剪纸 paper-cut戏剧脸谱 theatrical mask草药的四气：寒、热、温、凉 four properties of medicinal herb: cold, hot, warm and cool草药的五味：酸、苦、甘、辛、咸 five tastes of medicinal herb: sour, bitter, sweet, hot and salty二十四节气 the twenty-four solar terms天干地支 the heavenly stems and earthly branches清明节 the Pure Brightness Day端午节 the Dragon Boat Festival中秋节 the Mid-Autumn Festival文化事业 cultural undertaking民族文化 national culture民间文化 folk culture乡土文化 native/country culture跨文化交流 cross-cultural communication文化冲击 culture shock表演艺术 performing art舞台艺术 stage art流行艺术 popular/pop art高雅艺术 elegant/high art电影艺术 cinematographic art十四行诗 sonnet三幕六场剧 a three-act and six-scene play音乐舞台剧 musical复活节 Easter万圣节 Halloween内容与形式的统一 unity of content and form古为今用，洋为中用。Make the past serve the present and the foreign serve China.中国是一个历史悠久、文化灿烂的多民族国家。China is a multinational country with a long history and splendid culture.文化交流不是让外国文化吞没自己的文化，而是为了丰富和充实本民族的文化。Cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing ones won culture to a foreign culture, but one of enriching a nations own culture.谚语作为一种以简单通俗的语言来表达深刻道理的语句，常为人们所引用。千百年来各国之间或多或少的文化交流，往往会使一个民族的谚语跨越疆界，广为流传于其它民族。许多谚语流传甚广，早已为我们所熟知。因此，谚语的口译并非是一道不可逾越的障碍。谚语的口译大致可分为三种类型，一种是“形同意合”的口译，第二种是“形似意合”的口译，第三种是“形异意合”的口译。一、“形同意合”的谚语1.
