A Study on Translating English Metaphors into Chinese

Abstract

Metaphors are pervasive in our daily life. They appear not only in various texts but also in spoken English. People use metaphors extensively to express their feelings and thoughts. Many subjects with universal meanings are described by metaphors. Cognitive linguistics has proved that metaphor is not only a rhetorical device but also a reflection of culture and thinking pattern. This paper makes a general introduction of metaphor. The focus of this paper is chapter 5, which explores five methods translating metaphors. Metaphors in English and Chinese must bear some similarities. But metaphors in each of the languages are deeply embedded in its particular culture. Therefore, translators should take every factor into consideration. In the process of translation, translators should follow the principle and criteria of translation. A qualified translator should method flexibly according to varied situation and cultural background.

Key Words: English metaphor, translation, method, literal translation, free translation

论英语隐喻的翻译

摘要

隐喻在日常生活中普遍存在。隐喻不仅出现在各种文本中，还存在于口语中。人们大量地使用隐喻来表达感情与想法。许多具有普遍意义的主题都是用隐喻来表达的。认知语言学已经证明，隐喻不仅是一种修辞手法，而且是一种文化和思维方式的反映。本文对英语的隐喻做了基本的介绍。重点是第五章，主要探讨了隐喻的五种翻译方法。中英文中的隐喻肯定存在一些相识点，但是每一种语言的隐喻都深深嵌入其文化中。因此，译者要将每个因素考虑在内。在翻译的过程中，译者要遵循翻译的原则与标准。一名称职的翻译应该根据不同的形势与文化背景灵活选择翻译方法。

关键词：英语隐喻，翻译，方法，直译，意译

A Study on Translating English Metaphors into Chinese

1 Introduction（正文中各部分有小标题的，小标题应顶格打出，加黑，与上一段和下文距离为1.5倍行距。）

Metaphors are pervasive in our daily life. They appear not only in various texts but also in spoken language. Metaphors are widely used to express the feelings and thoughts, and many subjects with universal meanings are described by metaphors. Cognitive linguistics has proved that metaphor is not only a rhetorical device but also a reflection of culture and thinking. Language and culture are closely related to each other. Language is the carrier of culture. “The translation of any metaphor is the epitome of all translation”. (Peter Newmark, 1988: 113) From the translation of metaphor, it can be inferred whether the translator is target??????—language oriented or source—language oriented or even reach a compromise. It is well known that translation is cross cultural communication. Therefore, in order to improve the quality of target text and convey the message effectively, Translators should take such factors as context and cultural difference into consideration and make use of different methods in translating metaphors.

2 Overall Introduction of Metaphor

Metaphor usually has two purposes. The first is cognitive while the second is aesthetic. Firstly, “Its referential purpose is to describe a mental process or state a concept, a person, an object, a quality or an action more comprehensively and concisely than is possible in literal or physical language.”(Peter Newmark, 1988: 104)

2.1 Definition of Metaphor

1

中国矿业大学2010届本科生毕业论文

There are many definitions of metaphor. George Lakoff and Mark Johnson define metaphor as a means for representing something as if it were something else and no single metaphor can encompass the full reality of the subject it seeks to describe.

I. A. Richards gives metaphor such a definition: “It is the use of one reference to a group of things that are related in a particular way in order to discover a similar relation in another group.”

……

3 Classification of Metaphor:

According to Peter Newmark, metaphors are classified into six types: dead, cliché, stock, adapted, recent and original metaphors:

3.1 Dead metaphor

Peter Newmark defines dead metaphor as metaphors where one is hardly conscious of the image: they are usually related to universal terms of space and time, the main part of the body, general ecological features and the main human activities, such as: “space”, “field”, “line”, “top”, “bottom”, “foot”, “mouth”, “arm”. They are particularly used for the language to clarify or define. For example:

……

6 Conclusion

Metaphor is widely used in English. As we know, the study of metaphor is related to many areas of academic field, such as semantics, pragmatics, aesthetics, etc. For English learners in China, it is necessary to understand the different forms and intended meanings of English metaphors if they want to have a better understanding of English language in use. Metaphors in English and Chinese must bear some similarities. But metaphors in each of the languages are deeply embedded in its particular culture. One cannot have a thorough understanding of them 2

without studying the particular culture they represent. For the same image may have different metaphorical meaning in English and Chinese; so in the process of translating English metaphors, a translator should follow certain translation principles and criteria. This paper mainly explores five methods of translating English metaphors, such as literal translation, free translation, image-converted translation, literal translation with addition and translation by simile. A qualified translator should be capable of choosing methods flexibly according to varied situations and cultural background instead of using a method mechanically. No matter what method is taken, it should help to live up to proper criteria to the maximum.
