Cultural Cognition and Equivalent Interpretation of Culture-Specific Entries in Chinese-English Dictionaries

The equivalent interpretation of culture-specific entries in Chinese-English dictionaries should be based on cultural cognition and an analysis of the features of the information on national culture reflected in the entries and fully reveal the implied cultural information of the entries. Appropriate lexical structures and semantic expressions should be adoped to achieve desirable interpretation . Furthermore, different methods of borrowing and modeling can be used according to the different entries to fill the lexical gap in the target language due to the non-existence of corresponding culture. This will promote lexical creation, cultural exchange and the quality of interpretation for bilingual dictionaries.
