从文化交流视角看陶瓷用语翻译人才培养的模式初探

摘要:本文针对景德镇等陶瓷产区当前高素质陶瓷翻译人才缺乏的现状,分析了专业实践型陶瓷翻译人才培养的必要性,针对应用型高校培养目标,结合景德镇地方经济特色,就如何加快景德镇陶瓷文化英语创新人才培养模式进行了探索和讨论同时提出了相应的教学策略。

关键词:陶瓷文化翻译人才培养

一、引言

陶瓷翻译不同于一般的翻译,它必须跟渊博的陶瓷文化相结合。景德镇拥有灿烂的陶瓷文化,这些陶瓷文化,尤其是带有中国特色的陶瓷文化,要想为世界所了解,就必须通过翻译来实现。而译者在进行陶瓷用语翻译时尤其要牢记以传播中国陶瓷文化为目的,也就是要体现出中国陶瓷文化的独有特点。译者不应满足于传达原文化的一般意义,而应把尽最大可能传达原文的文化意向也视为自己的一种职责,这突出体现在中国特有陶瓷用语英译方面。

二、陶瓷专业翻译人才现状

中国是瓷器之乡,是陶瓷文化的发源地。千年熊熊燃烧的窑火创造了独领风骚近800 年的辉煌历史,曾令世人叹为观止。但是纵观国际陶瓷消费市场,中国陶瓷所占有的地位与其辉煌的历史极不相称,其中重要原因是人们对陶瓷英语的了解少之又少,相关人才也十分匮乏,导致中国的陶瓷文化闭塞,当然也打不开国际陶瓷的消费市场。中国陶瓷文化要想再展雄风,必须注重对中国陶瓷文化

Chinese to English: 1. 玉器是光辉灿烂的中华民族历史文化宝库中一枝异彩独放的奇葩。中国玉器在新石器时代的河姆渡文化时期就开始出现。7000年来一直延续不断,发展至今。玉器在北欧、西欧、贝加尔湖等地的原始社会时期,以及南北美洲的印第安人和新西兰的毛里人都有制作,但都延续时间不长,无法与中国的玉器相提并论。悠久的制作历史,精湛的制作工艺,典雅的造型,绚丽的色彩,形成了中国玉器突出的民族特色。 Jade article is an exotic flower in Chinese brilliant historical culture. Chinese jade article have emerged since Neolithic Hemudu period 7000 years ago. Jade articles started to be manufactured in primitive Northern Europe, Western Europe and Baikal Lake, by Indian in Northern American and Maori in New Zealand. But those jade articles did not last long and can not be compared with those in China. Chinese jade article distinguished its ethnic features in long manufacture history, exquisite craftsmanship, elegant modeling and gorgeous colors. 2. “福”字表示好运,人们通常把它写在一张方形纸上,并倒着贴。因为在普通话里“倒”和“到”是同音字。因此倒贴的“福”字象征着春天和繁荣昌盛的到来。 福means good luck in Chinese, people usually write it on a square tree up side down. since in Chinese 到and 倒are homophones, and 倒means upside down, 到means coming, the upside down 福means the spring and prosperity is coming. 3. 二十四节气 1.立春2.雨水3.惊蛰4.春分5.清明6.谷雨7.立夏8.小满9.芒种10.夏至11.小暑12.大暑13.立秋14.处暑15.白露16.秋分17.寒露18.霜降19.立冬20.小雪21.大雪22.冬至23.小寒24.大寒 二十四节气The 24 Solar Terms: 立春Spring begins. 雨水The rains. 惊蛰Insects awaken. 春分Vernal Equinox 清明Clear and bright. 谷雨Grain rain. 立夏Summer begins. 小满Grain buds. 芒种Grain in ear.

2018年翻硕考研之中华文化术语翻译整理

2018年翻硕考研之中华文化术语翻译整 理 “中华思想文化术语”是由中华民族主体所创造或经涵容创新,凝聚、反映了中华民族传统文化基本特征、人文精神、思维方式、思想观念的主题词或关键词语。下面凯程考研跟大家分享的“玄览”,希望大家会有所收获。 玄览(xuánlǎn) 原指在深远虚净的心境下览知万物,是老子提出的认识“道”的一种方法。老子认为,只有摒弃一切杂念与成见,保持内心明澈如镜,才能静观万物,从而认识“道”,体会其精要。后世文艺评论家因为“玄览”所主张的心境与文艺创作及鉴赏所要求的审美心境相契合,遂用为文艺思想的重要术语,以说明文艺创作与鉴赏时应具有的超越一切欲望与功利的特殊心境。 Xuanlan ( Pure-minded Contemplation ) This term was first used by Laozi as a way to understand Dao. He believed that one cannot understand Dao by calmly observing everything unless one abandons all distracting thoughts and biases, and keeps one’s mind as clear as a mirror. Later literary critics believed that the state of mind as required for xuanlan has similarities with the state of mind required for literary writing and appreciation, thus they made it an important term to mean one’s state of mind must transcend all desires and personal gains in literary writing and appreciation. ******************************************** 【引例】 涤除玄览,能无疵乎?(《老子·十章》) 伫中区以玄览,颐情志于典坟。(陆机《文赋》) Is it for sure that there will be no flaws when one cleanses away all distracting thoughts and watches the world with a clear, peaceful mind? (Laozi) Standing between heaven and earth and watching the world with a clear, peaceful mind, the writer enriches and improves himself through reading great works of the past. (Lu Ji: The Art of Writing) 天下(tiānxià) 古多指天子统治范围的全部土地及统治权。古人认为,大夫的统治范围是“家”,诸侯的统治范围是“国”,天子的统治范围是“天下”。“天下”字面义是“普天之下”,实质指天子统治或名义之下的“家国”统合体所覆盖的全部疆域,并包括天下所有的人及国家的统治权。后演变指全民族或全世界。 Tianxia (All Under Heaven) This term referred mainly to all the land under the name of the Son of Heaven and the right to rule on such land. The ancient Chinese held that the rule of senior officials was over their enfeoffed land, and that of dukes and princes was over feudal states. The rule of the Son of Heaven was over all the land. Literally, tianxia (天下) means “all under heaven.”It actually refers to all the territory embracing the enfeoffed land and feudal states under the rule or in the name of the Son of Heaven, as well as all the subjects and the right to rule. The term has later

翻译的稂本任务——论文化传播(一)

翻译的稂本任务——论文化传播(一) 论文摘要】随着世界文化的不断交流和沟通,各国更加重视文化的繁荣与传播。译者作为文化沟通的使者,应把输入异域文化、输出中华文化视为自己的神圣职责。这就要求译者在翻译过程中一定要有敏锐的文化意识,切实做好文化传播工作。 论文关键词]文化交流文化意识文化传播 一、翻译在文化发展中的作用 语言既是文化的组成部分,也是文化的符号,其使用方式与表达内容都具有一定的文化内涵;而翻译的基本性质是语言问的转换、是文化之间的交流,因此翻译与文化始终有着千丝万缕的联系。翻译丰富、促进了译语文化,这是翻译最为显著的功能。古今中外,翻译从来都是促进民族文化发展的一个重要手段。(杨仕章,2001)~1果没有阿拉伯人的翻译,古希腊的明就不会得以保存,欧洲的文艺复兴也将无从谈起;中华文化经佛经翻译吸取了古印度文化的营养,给中国文学注入了强劲动力,大大丰富和发展了唐代及唐以后中国文学的浪漫主义意象成分和功能;同样,没有五四时期的翻译,中国就不可能引入诸多先进的思想理论;而英国文化能有今天的巨大影响力和勃勃生机是与其在漫长的历史中融汇了凯尔特文化、拉丁文化、斯堪的纳文化以及东方文化的精华分不开的。可见,语言和文化的发展往往离不开异域文化的营养,纯粹自给自足的文化注定是要灭亡的,而翻译则为吸收异域文化提供了一个有效的手段。 二、翻译研究的“文化转向” 翻译研究的文化转向最初由巴斯奈特(Bassnet0和勒菲弗尔(Lefe—vere)在其合编的《翻译、历史与文化》(199O)一书中提出的:之前的翻译研究要么在语言学的屋檐下躲躲雨,要么在比较文学的墙根下避避风。而在新兴的文化学领域里则压根儿没有涉足之地。漕明伦,2007)以巴斯奈特和勒菲弗尔为代表的文化学派翻译理论者,从宏观角度出发,从大处着眼,从政治、文学、历史等多角度切人,强调文化在翻译中的地位,把翻译看作宏观的文化转换,将翻译的研究重点从原作转向了译作,从作者转向了译者,从源语文化转向了译语文化,以求对翻译和译者的地位与作用有一个新的认识。对文化派而言,翻译的本质就是文化翻译。因此,翻译活动本身就涉及一个文化问题,涉及两种文化的对比研究和互动关系。从某种意义上而言,翻译的确是人类社会生活中最重要的文化交际行为之一,翻译工作者必须重视并处理好文化因素在翻译中的地位和作用。(姜艳,2oo6)~n奈达所言:实际上,对一个译者来说,由文化差异引起的问题比语言结构差异引起的问题要多而且更为复杂。三、文化传播与交流是翻译的根本任务 中外学者对翻译下过各种各样的定义,其中张今先生(1994)的定义尤为惹人瞩目:“翻译是两个语言社会之间的交际过程和交际工具,它的目的是要促进本语言社会的政治、经济和文化进步,它的任务是要把原作品中包含的现实世界的逻辑映像或艺术映像,完好无损地从一种语言中译注到另一种语言中去。”进行文化交流,促进社会进步,这正是翻译的根本任务和重大意义所在。其实,中西方翻译家、译论家中提倡尽力保存原文文化特色的大有人在,如杨宪益、许渊冲、刘宓庆等;西方如Sehuhe,Biguenet,Newmark等。鲁迅说(1935):“如果还是翻译,那么,首先的目的,就在博览外国的作品,不但移情,也要益智,至少是知道何地何时,有这等事,和旅行外国,是很相像的:它必须有异国情调,就是所谓洋气。”什么叫“异国情调”和“洋气”呢?显然,鲁迅指的“不是在语言上一味仿效西洋,而是尽量保存原文所蕴含的异域文化特点”。这就是说,翻译不仅要考虑语言的差异,还要密切注视文化的差异,文化差异处理的好坏,往往是翻译成败的关键。语言可以转换,甚至可以“归化”,但文化特色却不宜改变,特别不宜“归化”,一定要真实地传达出来。(予I、致礼,2ooo)因此,文化传播应该是翻译的根本任务。翻译中的文化传播,按照鲁迅先生的说法,就是尽量保存外来文化之“异国情调”、“洋味”,以使我国读者扩大文化视野,获得知识和启迪。例如,我

1.香囊(scented sachet),古代也称“香袋”,通常是用布缝制或彩色丝线编织的袋子,里面塞满香草(aromatic herbs)。香囊最初用来吸汗、驱虫和避邪。香囊不仅有用,而且可 作装饰品。它们的形状和大小各异,有圆形、椭圆形和其他形状。它们通常配有精致的图案,每个图案都象征着特别的含义。例如,双鱼或成对蝴蝶图案象征男女之爱;莲花或牡 丹花(peony flower)等图案象征女性;松树和仙鹤图案象征长寿;石榴(guava)图案象征很多 孩子。漂亮的香囊不仅是装饰品,而且含有丰富的文化和历史内涵。 翻译:Scented sachets, also called “fragrant bags” in ancient times, are bags usually sewed with cloth or weaved with multicolor silk threads and stuffed with aromatic herbs. The fragrant bags were originally used for absorbing sweat, repelling insects and warding off evils. Scented sachets are not only useful, but also ornamental. They come in different shapes and sizes, such as round, oval and many others. And they are normally decorated with elaborate patterns, with each pattern symbolizing a special meaning.For instance,a double-fish or double-butterfly pattern smybolizes the love between a man and a woman;patterns like lotus or peony flowers symbolize women;pine and crane patterns symbolize longevity and a guava pattern is the symbol of lots of children.A nice scented sachet is not just an ornament,but more of something that contains cultural and historical richness. 2.中国民间艺术与中国哲学统一于“阴阳(yin-yang)生万物”这一理念。这一理念源于中国原始社会,是对人类的人生感悟的哲学注解。中国人祖先的哲学论断是“近看自己,远观他人”。要理解中华民族民间艺术的原始艺术,这一结论必不可少。人类的本能欲望是生 存并通过繁衍(propagation)继续存在。人生来的首要本能是求生,然后是长寿。从原始社会到今天,阴阳和永生的观念始终贯穿中国的社会生活和民族文化。中国民间艺术反映了社会的所有基本哲学理念。 翻译:Chinese folk art and Chinese philosophy are unified in the belief that yin-yang produces all living things in the world. Originated in Chinese primitive society, this was the philosophical explanation of human's perception of life. Chinese ancestors philosophical conclusion was to “look at oneself up close and other creatures from afar”,which is essential to the understanding of the primitive art to the folk art of the nation. To live and to continue life through propagation are the two instinctive desires of human. From birth, a person's first instinct is to survive, and then to live a long life. From primitive society to the present day, the view of yin-yang and perpetual life has permeated in all aspects of social life and the national culture of Chinese society.Chinese folk art reflects all of the basic philosophical concepts. 3.象棋(Chinese chess)两人玩的棋盘游戏,源于春秋战国时期的军事战略。早期的象棋由三部分组成:棋子、骰(dice)和棋盘。现代象棋没有骰子,它在棋子和棋盘方面与古代不同。棋盘有9行宽、10行长,共90个交叉点,构成方形网格 (grid)。棋子在交叉点上落 子或移动。对弈者在棋盘进行象征性的军很战争,部署马匹、战车,根据自己对棋局和游戏规则的理解组织军队。目前,中国象棋已传至全世界,进一步传承、发扬中国传统文化。
