英文名言篇4
引言
从古至今,人名是人们在社会交往过程中区别他人、代表自己的简单符号。在社会逐步发展的过程中,人名更多的与其所处的社会背景、时代特点以及生活环境产生联系。文学作品是人类语言的一种表现形式,同时文学作品的内涵也赋予在人物姓名中。文学作品的人物姓名,其实代表着作者的一定意***。在创作的时候,作者需要根据所要表现出来的性格特点、身份地位以及所处的时代背景预示人物的最终结局。在英语文学作品中,有一大批经典,作品的主人公名字可以说是家喻户晓,甚至成为后世某种典型人群的代名词。因此,通过研究分析英语文学作品中人物命名的含义,就能够了解文学本身意义,同时可以察觉英语语言文化。
1.引经据典
英语文学语境中,其思想源泉由希腊罗马神话与《圣经》共同组成。在英语文学发展的过程中具有补替代性的作用。同时由此衍生出较多的文学作品。在《悲剧的诞生》中,尼采就曾说过,如果没有神话,所有的文化就会失去其应有的创造能力。文学创作只有利用神话才能调整视野,才能将所有的文化运动归类为统一体。在14世纪-16世纪的这一段时期内,欧洲文艺复兴运动就将古希腊罗马文化抽离出来,并将其作为希腊罗马文化的瑰宝。在当时的诗人、剧作家以及小说家严重那个,希腊罗马神话与英雄传独具魅力,是不可多得创作题材,如英国的莎士比亚、弥尔顿、济慈、雪莱、萧伯纳等大部分剧作家与诗人都在创作作品的时候运用希腊罗马神话的人物与故事,同时还有一批作家和诗人,在创作的时候利用神话来传达自己的思想。研读《哈利波特》就会发现,英国现代的女作家罗琳创作这部作品的时候,其中有很多的人物名字来源于神话和中世纪的传说。如德拉科Draco(拉丁文“龙”)的取名,因西方神话传说中龙蛇不分,作者以此暗示他是十足的蛇;纳西莎Narcissa源自希腊神话中的Narcissus——一个因为爱上自己在水中的倒影而终日坐在水边最终化作水仙花的美少年(narcissism意为“自恋”)——作者用这个名字来讽刺马尔福家的人自视甚高;赫敏Hermione的名字源于希腊神话中的神使Hermes,作者用来比喻她的智慧。《圣经》即便是是一部宗教类的作品,但是在全世界广为流传,其影响价值非常大。曾经就有学者说过,“假使所有英文写的作品都毁灭了,只剩下英文《圣经》这一部书,那么这部书自己就足以把英文里全部的美与力量显示出来”。不少创作家在创作的时候,所用题材来自于圣经故事。如王尔德的《莎乐美》、拜伦的《该隐》等等。作者在创作的时候,借助圣经中的名字来传达作品的思想。
2.套用词汇
实际上,不少文学创作者在创作的时候,会借助现有的单词或词组,如名词、形容词作为作品中人物名字。而这种现象在英语文学中可以说是一种比较常见的现象。在早期的宗教小说中,七大罪恶与人类的优秀品德将直接变成具体的人物。这种创作方式,在英国创作家约翰•班扬的《天路历程》(ThePil-grim’sProgress)中表现的非常明显。这部作品采用寓言形式体现英国王***复僻时候的社会状况,将贵族阶层那种荒***贪婪的性格以讽刺的方式表现出来。作者将正面人物称为“基督徒”(Christian)、“福音先生”(Mr.Evan-gelist)、“忠诚”(Faithful)、“希望”(Hopeful)、“仁慈”(Mercy),称反面人物为“恨善法官”(JudgeHate-Good)、“无赖先生”(Mr.No-good)、“***乐先生”(Mr.Love-lust)、“残忍先生”(Mr.Cruelty)、“嫉妒”(Envy)等。而萨克雷的《名利场》(VanityFair)则是借助Sharp(敏锐)给一位穷苦艺术家的女儿命名。
3.谐音造字
在英语文学作品创作的过程中,作品人物命名同样可以采用同音字、新造字以及近音字等方式来命名。比较直接的方法就是套用现代词汇的方法。事实上,这还是一种比较隐晦的额做法。在莎士比亚的《温莎的风流娘儿们》中命名约翰•福斯塔夫爵士(SirJohnFalstaff)。Falstaff与falsestuff谐音,意为“假货”,巧妙的将表面上开起来勇敢、高尚、足智多谋的人物形象,实则为自私、贪生怕死的的人物表现出来。塞缪尔.理查逊的《克罗丽莎.哈洛》(ClarissaHarlowe)中女主人公克罗丽莎的情人洛夫莱斯(Lovelace)与loveless(没有爱情)谐音,是个专门勾引妇女、荒***无度的色狼,他帮助克罗丽莎出逃并非出于爱情而是为了一己之欲。

英文名言篇6
【关键词】命名 译名 姓 文化特色
命名有广狭两义。狭义的命名指的是专有事物的名称如人名、地名、公司字号名、商品商标名等的命名;广义的命名扩展到一般事物甚至普通概念的名称。前者是一般所谓命名学的研究对象,后者则扩展到词源学上去了。但两者之间并没有一条不可逾越的鸿沟,因此必要时不妨放在一起讨论。从语言交流的角度看,还有一种现象值得注意,就是译名。译名可说是对一种事物或一种概念的再命名,它也应该成为命名学的对象。
姓名作为一个人的代号和标志对我们来说都不陌生,每个人从孩提时就把父母为自己所取的名字与自己紧密地联系在一起。不仅如此,姓名还是人们在社会交往中必不可少的工具,一个人从出生到去世几乎没有一天不和姓名打交道。其次,对姓名的称呼还带有许多感彩,有尊称、昵称、爱称,这些都是文化传统和社会习俗的凝聚。因此,不同的文化对姓氏习俗都有不同的传承。中国与英语国家之间文化传统和社会习俗的不同也造成了中英姓氏习俗的差异。
中英姓名语言文化特色之对比:
一、中国
1.名字担负着父母对孩子的期望和父母的情趣爱好。父母希望孩子有所作为,就给孩子取名“鹏飞”,父母喜欢冬天的红梅,便为女儿起名“丹梅”。
2.名字中包含着消灾免病、逢凶化吉、弥补命运缺憾的意义。如给孩子取名“去病”、“长生”等。
3.生活的地域和时代以及出生时的重量也会反映在名字当中。据调查,北京人喜欢用“荣”,上海人喜欢用“宝”、“妹”等。“九斤”、“六斤”等是其出生时的重量,也是一些地方命名的习俗。***初有人叫“建国”,改革开放年代有人叫“开放”。如今,随着全球化进程的发展,又有人起了洋名叫“珍妮”、“莉莎”等,这些名字都带有时代的痕迹。
4.伦理、道德以及宗族观念在中国人的名字中也有所体现。从一定意义上说,中国文化是一种伦理文化,这一特点在姓名中有充分体现。“德”、“仁”、“忠”、“孝”等字眼在名中的出现,对高尚人格的景慕而与其同名、同字,根据族谱中按辈序规定好的辈分取名等等都是传统文化思想在名字上的体现。
二、英语国家
英语姓名一般由三部分组成,其结构为:教名+中间名+姓。首名或教名一般是父母或牧师取的,中名多是以父母亲朋的某个名为己名,这样可以表明孩子与父母亲朋的关系,所以孩子是可以以父母亲朋的名字为己名的,如英国着名科学家达尔文的全名是Charles Robert Darwin(查理斯?罗伯特?达尔文)。达尔文的父亲名叫罗伯特,叔叔名叫查理斯,所以取名为查理斯?罗伯特?达尔文,目的就是希望达尔文能够继承父亲和叔叔的事业和中国敬慕英雄人物而与圣贤或名人同名一样,英语国家的人们也有用圣贤的名字取名的习惯,这反映了人们崇拜英雄的社会心理。不少人直接以名人的姓为名,如Washington(美国第一任总统)这本来是姓,但后来为了表示对他的热爱和尊敬,也就广泛用作名字了。
在英语国家里,人们还会用一些有影响力的***治人物的名字或祖父母的名字给孩子起名,这样做是为了向***治人物或他们的祖父母表达敬意。这一点在传统的中国文化中是不允许的,中国的传统社会等级分明,上辈亲属的名字、官员的名字对普通中国人来说是“讳”。
三、共同点
取名应该男女有别,并且要悦耳动听,能够引起听者美好的联想,这是取名的原则。因此,英汉人名都具性别特征,男性名字通常体现阳刚威武之气,气宇轩昂之态。如中国人喜欢用志坚、治国等词为名。英语中则多用Andrew(安德鲁)源于希腊语,意为勇敢直率;Peter(彼得)源于希腊语,意为岩石,是坚忍不拔的象征。女性名字则蕴含秀美靓丽之貌,文雅高尚之德。如中国人喜欢用静娴、丽娟等词为名;英语中则是用Hellene(海伦)源于希腊语,意为迷人的,Susan(苏珊)源于希伯莱语,表示优雅、亲切的意思。当然,无论古代还是现代,男取女名或女取男名的现象都不少,但是无论如何,取名时都应兼顾到音美、义美。
四、结束语
姓名作为一种符号,传递着特定的文化信息。姓名是人类社会中最基本的人际称谓,与一个民族的历史、宗教、文化传统和风俗习惯密切相关。可以说,姓名隐含着一个民族的历史、语言,心理、伦理观和道德观,是一个民族的文化组成部分。中国人的姓名体现着血缘宗法观念、以家族为本位的价值取向,代表着家长、群体的意志,相比之下,英语民族的姓名及命名行为体现着西方文化个体本位的价值取向,浸染着基督教的精神。

英文名言篇10
关键词:语言 信息功能 英语 电影 翻译
在市场经济环境下,我国电影行业取得了前所未有的发展。与此同时,受到科技力量的支持,电影给人们带来了更大的视觉冲击,已经成为当下重要的娱乐方式。其中,片名作为连接观众与电影的桥梁,与票房的高低有很大关系。正是基于此,研究人员对电影片名的文化、艺术价值更加重视,以期借此来提高影片的影响力。本文立足于电影名片的翻译功能,来探讨语文的信息功能与文本类型在其中的应用。
一、概述
在全球经济一体化的影响下,电影作为一种文化载体,受到了社会的广泛关注。当前,在电影名片翻译中,研究人员做了重要的工作。同时,为了创造更多的经济价值,也对该项工作提出了更高的要求。根据相关的研究理论,可以将电影名片的特c概括为四个方面。第一,具有音律性。通常,电影名称机构短小精悍,有动宾结构、名词结构等。第二,具有修辞性。很多电影名称采用了比喻、拟人的修辞方法,更好地凸显主题思想。同时,使用修辞方法后,增强了语言效果,更容易引起广大受众的注意。第三,设置悬念,引起观众的好奇。最后,具有跨文化性。具体来讲,当人们在欣赏电影的同时,也可以了解当地的风土人情、文化背景。除此之外,在翻译英文电影片名时,要求从美学的角度出发,以此来体现电影中包括的文化价值。
二、语言的信息功能在英语电影片名翻译中的应用
某学者认为语言具有五个方面的功能,分别是信息功能、表情功能、呼唤功能、美感功能以及元语言功能。语言在交际的过程中,发挥了重要的交际作用,而不再是简单的符号。从电影片名的角度上来讲,语言具有点亮主题的作用。当观众接受信息时,好的片名能够引起更多的功能,达到促进消费者消费的目的。因此,电影名片翻译工作的本质就是传递美感,发挥影片的呼唤功能。从语言的信息功能来讲,电影片名就是向观众表达电影的主题,是人物和事件的身份。此时,要求翻译人员保持与原文读者同样的感受,真实地反映原文的信息。当前,在电影片名翻译的过程中,受到各种因素的影响,往往出现语言丢失的现象。在这种情况下,就会让观众对电影产生错误的印象。比如,以影片《洛杉矶之战》为例,通过这部电影的片名,可以看出是对战争的描述,且故事的发生地点在洛杉矶,而不是别的任何地方。这样,不管是翻译人员还是原文读者,都能够保持同样的感受。
三、文本类型在英语电影片名翻译中的应用
本文类型与翻译策略之间的关系很密切。某学生将文本类型分为三个,分别是表情型、信息型、操作型。从翻译对策上来讲,研究人员认为不同的文本类型具有不同的作用。其中,表情型文本的作用在于凸显形式,信息本文的作用在于体现内容,操作型的本文则在于吸引观众的注意力。与此同时,在电影名片翻译工作中,排在第一位的语言功能为感染,其次才是信息、表情以及美学功能。所以,为了赢得观众的青睐,在翻译的过程中除了关注原文的独创性外,还要与其保持一致。基于此,翻译人员首先要了解不同国家的人思维的方式,并掌握有效的感染手段,以此来达到上述目的。比如,就东西方的思维方式来讲,东方人重视电影片名的综合、归纳性,以期了解整个影片的内容。相反,西方人则注重局部思维,通常在电影片名上展示关键人物、地点等信息。比如,某外国电影以主人公的名字为名,讲述的是丈夫与妻子的离婚问题,由此展开对孩子抚养权的争夺事件。然而,同样的题材,在中国电影中则淡化了人物的名字,将影片的名字命名为《中国式离婚》,这种手法代表了一定的社会性,比较常见。
