The comparison between Chinese and Western festivals 中西方节日文化的差异比较 Abstract: the process of comparing the Chinese and Western festivals and studying Western histories and cultures can help people promote the communication and understanding of different cultures. With the further development of society and inter-cultures, globalization will affect many aspects of life in all countries. And western festivals are becoming more and more popular in China. We should respect them and select the essence. China boasts a brilliant history and splendid traditions. In modern times, Chinese tradition should be preserved and promoted. But it seems that young people no longer treasure the tradition. On the contrary, they turn to pursue enthusiastically a seemingly more modern culture. If this trend is allowed to continue, the priceless heritage of our ancestors will be replaced by western traditions. Nobody expects such a consequence. So let’s join hand in hand to protect and carry forward Chinese tradition. Key words: Traditional festivals; Chinese and Western cultures; difference; globalization Introduction: “A holiday of a nation represents a glorious culture and concentrated customs of a nation.” To understand a nation's

中西方日常交际中的文化差 异 （商务英语专业082班，孙静） 摘要：汉语与英语中有大量的日常对话，由于地域文化、历史文化、风俗习惯、宗教信仰及历史典故的不同，日常交际中也呈现出诸多文化差异。随着经济全球化、信息全球化时代的到来，中国与西方国家之间的交流和合作越来越密切。但是，由于缺乏对西方国家文化背景的了解，在中国人与西方人交际的过程中，出现了一些交际障碍和误解，本文主要就日常交际中容易引起误会的中文化差异进行分析和比较。 There are quite a lot of daily dialogues both in Chinese and English, however, because of the differences of background, history, custom, religion and history story’s culture, there exists lots of culture differences in daily conversation.

Yet, due to the lack of culture background of western countries, there exists some barriers and misunderstandings during the communication between Chinese and western people.

中西文化差异英文
Differences between Chinese and Western culture As we know the differences between the our estern cultures and western cultures are quite obvious.I would like to state some of my opinions in this paper. I.difference in the thinking style People on the earth are homologous,but different people in different place have different performance on the way of thinking. Differences between Chinese and Western way of thinking reflected in many aspects.Such as the difference between abstract and concrete, reflected in their attitudes towards life can be understood as Westernersare more practical, and the Chinese are much more biased towards some spiritual experience. Westerners pay attention to logical thinking, but Chinese pay more attention to dialectical thinking and so on. As Chinese and western way of thinking are different, there are differences in expression of the order. For example,we can see that the names of western style are not like ours,they put their given names at the first place,while we put them after our family names,that is to say,we regard our family more important than ourselves,and it's the traditional way of estern thinking.Westerners have another way of thinking,they think that each person is important in our world and society,and a person should play a important role among our human beings. II.differences in daily communication Westerners are frank,but chinese are humility.The reflection between westerners and chinese on the treatment of praise is different.In the West, people can accept it generously. As the Chinese have long term impact of Confucian education, we treat others’ praise and recognition not often take the attitude of ourselves, or there is suspected of arrogant. When meeting acquaintances, chinese and westerners greet each other are also different. Chinese people often say "Have you eat ?" "Where are you going?"except the general asked”hello”. In western culture, this is not a greeting, but substantive issues. When British and American people meet,they usually use a polite phrase like "How are you?" or "Nice to meet you!" In addtion,when westerners accept gift from others,they are willing to open it and praise it directly,but chinese do not do like that. III.differences in customs Chinese people regard ourselves as descendants of the Dragon.Chinese have a supreme respect for the dragon, we think dragon is a symbol of our nation. In the dynasty time,Chinese emperors generally self-styled "dragon".However,in the West, the dragon was regarded as the devil, and it was killed by the legendary god of protection, so they set a day as a festival to celebrate the lifting of a disaster, and thank the protection of God.For this reason, when the students describe a person's lively, they say "He / She is full of vim and vigor." not"He / She is as lively as a dragon and tiger". Everyone has their favorite color, so does a country and a nation. Chinese like the red colour ,because chinese think red is a symbol of luck and enthusiam. But westerners perfer to the blue colour,they think blue can make themselves calm. Thus,the preferences of different colors can reflect the whole of a country’s aesthetic taste. IV. differences in eating cultrue Chinese and Western diets are very different, so the differences also have an impact on the national character. In China, a banquet, no matter what purpose, there will be only one form, that is, everyone sit around one table. People toast each other,and eat the same food in one plate,,It reflects the mutual respect between people even the traditional courteous virtue. Although from the health point of view, this dietary approach has obvious shortcomings, it is consistent with our
中西文化差异与翻译
临床2班 刘诗韵 2013111040 中西文化差异与翻译 美国著名的翻译理论家尤金奈达认为：翻译是指从语义到语体在译语中间最贴切而又最自然的对等语再现原文的信息。奈达的定义体现了他在语义和语体两个层面提倡等值翻译的观点, 却未提到文化的再现。对翻译的正确理解应该是语际之间的信息传递和语族之间的文化交流。文化、语言和翻译之间关系密切。英国语言学家约翰莱昂斯认：“特定的社会的语言是这个社会文化的组成部分。每一种语言在词语上的差异都会反映使用这种语言的社会的事物、风俗以及各种活动在文化方面的重要特征”。两种不同的民族语言的交流，实质上是两种民族文化的交流。翻译是一种有目的的跨文化交际行为，任何翻译都离不开文化。为此，译者不但要精通目的语和源语，还要了解和研究诸多语言背后的文化，熟悉中西文化的差异。在正确翻译观的指导下，对文化差异进行合理的文化转换。 一、中西文化价值观念的差异 价值观念是任何社会或文化中的人不能回避的指令, 作为文化构成的深层因素, 它既是社会文化的组成部分。又是社会文化在人们心目中长期渗透、积淀的结果。变成民族性格的基石。中西文化差异之一是时间取向不同。中国人在时间上采取过去取向，对过去的眷恋自然而然地产生了中国人对悠久历史和灿烂文化的珍视。与此相通，中国人崇拜祖宗、敬老尊师、重经验、重年龄。在中国文化中长者是智慧和权威的象征。称年长者“老师傅“、“老干部”、“老大爷”。“马老”、“张老”甚至成了少数德高望重的人才享有的尊称。与此相反。西方人在时间上是未来取向。美国人喜欢向前看, 总是着眼于未来。因而尊重青年是西方文化中第一级价值。老在西方意味着来日无多，面临失去。 竞争力而被淘汰的危险。因此, 我国公共汽车上为敬老而设的专座的字样不能简单地译为“old people“, 应按西方人的观念译为“Courtesy Seats”, 方可被英美人所接受。英美人忌老、怕老。他们费尽心机地来委婉地表示“老”这个概念。如: the adbanced in age( 年长者) , the mature( 成熟者) , the longer liv ing( 生活经历较长者) , a seasoned man( 历练者) , senior cit izens( 资深公民) 等。谦逊在中西文化中的地位也不同。受儒家思想的影响, 中国人喜欢谦虚内敛。所以中国人与人相处，习惯于卑己尊人。比如在接受别人赞誉时与西方人反应不同，总是说成“做的不够”或“没什么”, 给人的感觉是受之有愧。于是写文章的标题总爱用浅谈、略论、试论、管见等。提及自己的作品总爱用拙文、敝作等。中国人在谈论自己的事情时, 通常表现自谦或自贬, 力图达到“无我”或“超我”的境界。这种贬抑自我的做法令英美人十分费解。按照他们的习惯, 听到别人赞扬时应表示感谢或赞同, 这样既是对自我的肯定, 也是对他们鉴赏力的尊重。鉴于文化的差异, 汉语论文标题中的初、浅、试之类的谦辞,译成英语时可不译, 以避免误解。相反, 在论及有关对方的事情时, 中国人总爱抬高对方, 也是贬抑自我的一种方式。汉语中的敬辞很多, 如: 大作、贵府、贵姓、恭候、雅正等。译成英语时, 可把“敬”含义省去,译出“辞”即可。如”大名”译成”your name”, ”贵府“译成” Your home“。若将”大名“译成”your greatname“, ”贵府“译成”your honorable home“, 英美人会认为那是讽刺或挖苦, 或至少是虚伪。东西方价值观念差异较大的另一方面是个人与集体的关系。西方文化最重要的观念是个人主义( Individualism) , 其具体表现是自立精神( Self- reliance) 和 自我实现( Self- achievement ) 。翻译 Amer-ican dream实际上要对美国人不依赖世 袭的物质条件和社会地位、个人奋斗的精神进行诠释。另外, 美

中西文化差异英文
中西文化差异英文 Differences Betwween Chinese And Western Clture As we know,there are many obvious differences between chinese and western clture.Here I will epress some opinions about this. Chinese culture is the collectivist culture.Chinese put the benefit of groung the first place.The value of people can not be allowed to set up over the the benefit of the grounp.On the contrary,western culture is the individualist culture.They spare no efforts to show off themselves. 1、Differences in addressing Chinese put the given name after the family name.While in the western country,their given names were put at the place.We can see that Chinese regard the family name more important than the given name.It reflects that Westerners have a thought that each person is significant in our world and a person should play a important role among our beings. 2、Differences in rendering thanks Generaly,in China the family members hardly say “thanks”.If say it,we will feel strange and have distance beween each other.But Westerners can it on any occasion and beween any people.When someone give they a cup of drink,they will say“Thanks”.What,s more,when someone ask you“Would you like something to eat/dirnk,”Chinese would say a few words of courtesy although they would like.But in th e west,peole will say“Yes,please”if they would like and will say“No,thanks”if they would not.
浅谈中西文化差异对翻译的影响
浅谈中西文化差异对翻译的影响
这是一种比较随和、友好和亲昵的方式。如果将这两句问候语直译成英语Have you had your meal? 和Where are you going? 那么，大部分讲英语的人听了会不高兴，他们感到难以接受和理解。不仅如此，他们还可能会说，你是在干涉他们的行动自由。另外，两个中国人见面聚会互相介绍时，通常会说“久仰大名”。如果机械地译成I have heard very much about you. 英美人会感到纳闷，他们的习惯说法是I’m pleased to meet you.（认识你很高兴）之类的客套话。 六、思维方式和价值取向差异 英美文化中最重要的价值观念是个人自由，它是一种以个人为基本单元，强调“人人生而平等”的文化。英美文化又被称为“我文化”、“个人价值至上文化”。在这种注重个人尊严的文化里，权力的重心更多地倾向个体。而中国传统文化里最重要的价值观念是“忠”和“孝”，人际交往很注意自我与谈话对象的关系。中国文化又被称为“我们文化”、“集体主义文化”。例如，中国人常说“四海之内皆兄弟”、“在家靠父母，出门靠朋友”、“仁义值千金”等，这都说明中国人常把自己和所谓自家人视为一体并希望能够在自身以外找到安全之所。而英语谚语中却说“God helps those that help t hemselves”（天助自助者），“self is our centre”（自我是我们的核心），“life is a battle”（生活就是战斗），这些英语谚语都在告诫人们：只有靠自己奋斗，才能获得成功和安全感。 小结： 关于翻译这一大课题，值得我们探讨的地方是很多的，上文对英汉两种文化差异的几个方面的阐述也是比较粗略。翻译中的文化差异是一件复杂的事情，具体情况千变万化，处理起来也无定规可循。因此只有对中西方文化的差异有更深的认识与了解，才可以在翻译时做到让翻译保留其译作风格，让译文更原滋原味。作为构筑文化交流桥梁的我们，要根据不同的情况，采取灵活的翻译策略，克服中西方文化差异造成的障碍，做到既尊重别国文化，也尊重本国文化，使译文尽可能达意、传神，从而达到跨文化交际的目的。 参考文献： ［1］彭保良,《从文化差异的角度看英汉翻译中词义的确立》[J], 中国翻译,1998. ［2］杨元刚,《英汉词语文化语义对比研究》,武汉大学出版社,2008. ［3］钟书能,《英汉翻译技巧》,对外经济贸易大学出版社,2010.
浅谈中西文化差异与翻译_朱耀先
浅谈中西文化差异与翻译 朱耀先 文化差异是翻译中的障碍和难题。要在两种语言之间进行翻译,除了通晓两种语言文字外,还必须了解两种文化,深刻理解两种文化之间的差异。本文拟从历史文化、地域文化、习俗文化和宗教文化几个方面,就中西文化的差异以及翻译过程中应注意的问题,谈一点自己的粗浅看法。 一、历史文化差异与翻译 历史文化指的是由特定的历史发展进程和社会遗产的沉淀所形成的文化。由于各个民族和国家的历史发展不同,因而在其漫长的历史长河中所沉淀形成的历史文化也不相同。在两种语言之间进行翻译时,会经常遇到由于历史文化差异而出现的翻译难题。 历史文化的一个重要内容体现为历史典故。历史典故是民族历史文化中的瑰宝,它具有浓厚的民族色彩和鲜明的文化个性,蕴含着丰富的历史文化信息,最能体现不同历史文化的特点。要对这些历史典故进行恰当的翻译,就必须了解它们丰富的历史文化内涵,并运用恰当的翻译方法,否则就不可能很好地体现和传递历史典故的涵义。例如,“东施效颦”这一汉语成语典故,对中国人来说,不难理解其文化内涵,但对于不甚了解中国历史文化的西方人来说,若仅仅直译为Tung Shih imita tes Hsi Shih,就没有准确、形象地表达和再现原典故的含义。东施是谁?西施又是谁?译者没有交待清楚。为了让西方读者能了解这一成语的内涵,比较合适的做法是采用直译加注的方法:Tung Shih imitates Hsi Shih(Hsi Shih was a famous beauty in the ancient King-dom of Yueh。Tung Shih w as an ug ly girl who tried to imitate her w ay)(杨宪益译)。这样,就会使读者一目了然。 又如“三个臭皮匠,合成一个诸葛亮”。诸葛亮是中国历史上的著名人物,在中国家喻户晓,他在中国读者的心中是当然的智慧的象征,但英美读者未必知道他是何人,与“臭皮匠”有何联系,若采用直译的方法,很难传递句子所蕴含的丰富历史文化信息,因此,只有采用直译和增译相结合的方法,才能使原语言的文化信息得以充分再现。故该句可译为:“Three cobblers with their wits com bined equal Chukeh Lia ng the m aster mind”. 再如,毛泽东《七律·送瘟神》诗词中有两句诗:“春风杨柳万千条,六亿神州尽舜尧。”诗中的“舜尧”是中国历史传说中的两位贤明帝王,为人民所爱戴,代表圣贤。这对于中国人来说比较容易懂,但对于英美读者来说,若采取音译,会使他们莫明其妙,因此必须增译注释。即使那样,仍有隔靴搔痒之感,而且显得累赘,同时也使诗句失去了“诗气”。亚瑟·古柏在翻译该诗句时干脆用Sag e-Kings代替,将其妙译为:“Spring winds mov e willow w ands,in tens of millions:Six hundred million w e sha ll all be Sag e-Kings!”这样翻译既简单明了,音韵铿锵,又达到了传神的效果。 对于有些历史人物和历史典故,可采用类比的翻译方法。据说,有一次周总理陪外国客人观看戏剧“梁山伯与祝英台”,翻译作了很多说明 7

T : Hi yangxue ,I heard that you are going to studying abroad ,it ‘s a new experience ,which can bring you opportunity to discover fascinating things and a feeling of freedom. Y : Oh !yeah ,in spite of this advantages, however there are also some challenges I will encounter. Culture shock will be the first one. T: yeah, I have watched several movies about western lifestyles and cultures, and really find an immense difference. Y: Yeah, the difference is almost everywhere. As far as the table culture, there is no doubt it is a tradition to use chopsticks for Chinese. But people in America prefer to forks and knives. T：The different tools are based on different food they like. Fried food and fast food are Americans’favorite while Chinese people choose noodles, pancakes and rice. Y: Yes, besides, have you noticed that when we have meals with our families or good friends, we usually get some delicious food for each other to show our care.

T h e d i f f e r e n c e b e t w e e n c h i n e s e a n d w e s t e r n c u l t u r e With the rapidly challging word, people throughout the world have found it increasingly necessary to minimize the rate of misunderstanding due to miscommunication in their contacts with another. In the oast most human beings were born, lived, and died within a limited geoographical area, never encountering people of other cultural backgrounds. It might be said that technological advances have been most effective in creating the borderless word, the global community. As our world shrinks and its inhabitants become interdependent, people from remot cultures increasingly come into contact on a daily basis. It is no longer hard to find situations in which membes of ince isolared groups of people. Now these people may live thousands of miles away or right next door to each other.

We can also find culture difference in way of bring up children treating the early, greeting each other, saying and spending money before other people do in everyday, but in some English-speaking countries, people do not agree with us. We chinese may enjoy something that is not usually consider as edible by the English-speaking people. Generally we perfer to have thing hot and much emphasis on the taste. We eat from one plate when we are eating with others, and we like to seat one by one, and in the shape of a round. On the
