文化视角处理隐喻翻译的技巧

隐喻所包含的不同文化背景和文化内涵对翻译的影响不可以一言概括之,中西方学者在隐喻翻译方面的见解既有共识也有分歧,但既然翻译的初衷是交流不同文化中本来存在的东西,那么在隐喻翻译中还是提倡采用外国化的处理方式保留它本来文化中的内涵。本文从文化的视角分析隐喻的翻译技巧。     

隐喻的语义认知

过去隐喻只被看作是一种修辞手段 ,当代的隐喻学家提出隐喻不仅是语言自身的问题 ,而且广泛存在与人们的思维当中 ,可以说隐喻无处不在。本文就隐喻的多种表现形式 ,阐释隐喻的多种语义特征     

Tree health mapping with multispectral remote sensing data at UC Davis, California

Tree health is a critical parameter for evaluating urban ecosystem health and sustainability. Traditionally, this parameter has been derived from field surveys. We used multispectral remote sensing data and GIS techniques to determine tree health at the University of California, Davis. The study area (363 ha) contained 8,962 trees of 215 species. Tree health conditions were mapped for each physiognomic type at two scales: pixel and whole tree. At the pixel scale, each tree pixel within the tree crown was classified as either healthy or unhealthy based on vegetation index values. At the whole tree scale, raster based statistical analysis was used to calculate tree health index which is the ratio of healthy pixels to entire tree pixels within the tree crown. The tree was classified as healthy if the index was greater than 70%. Accuracy was checked against a random sample of 1,186 trees. At the whole tree level, 86% of campus trees were classified as healthy with 88% mapping accuracy. At the pixel level, 86% of the campus tree cover was classified as healthy. This tree health evaluation approach allows managers to identify the location of unhealthy trees for further diagnosis and treatment. It can be used to track the spread of disease and monitor seasonal or annual changes in tree health. Also, it provides tree health information that is fundamental to modeling and analysis of the environmental, social, and economic services produced by urban forests.     

交际过程中概念流利缺乏和多样性缺乏的隐喻性分析

二语学习者在交际过程中体现的概念流利的缺乏和多样性的缺乏分别由Danesi和文秋芳提出,对两者的解释都超出了语言范畴本身。本文基于概念隐喻和语法隐喻相关理论对这两种现象进行分析,认为当代隐喻理论的发展为这两种现象的解决提供了可能性,而且多样性的缺乏是概念流利缺乏的表现形式之一。     

隐喻应用意识与词汇记忆技巧——关于英语词汇学习方法的创新研究

隐喻是一种复杂的认知现象,同时也是一种非常特殊的语言现象。隐喻意识的提升对帮助学生加强词汇记忆有着重要作用。教学实验表明:很多比喻性用语往往可以追溯到一个共同的喻题或源域,用喻题或源域来对词汇进行归类有助于记忆生疏的比喻性用语。因此,有必要多组织一些旨在提高语言学习者隐喻意识的课堂活动,将隐喻意识变成词汇习得的一个新的渠道。     

“大+NP“结构中“大“的隐喻分析

本文认为“大 NP”结构中的“大”是表示事物突显性的标记词。从空间维度词到标记词,“大”经历了语法化的过程。隐喻在这个过程中显示了作为词义引申触媒的作用和作为人类重要认知工具的意义。

关联理论视角下的隐喻翻译研究——以《抗击新冠肺炎疫情的中国行动》英译为例

借助Pragglejaz团队的“隐喻识别程序”对《抗击新冠肺炎疫情的中国行动》白皮书中的隐喻进行分类描述,从认知关联视角切入对各类隐喻翻译进行案例分析。为实现白皮书类外宣文本国际传播的最佳社会效益,最大语境效果、共同的语境假设以及交际传播的目的是译者在实现隐喻跨语际转换时的重要考量准则。
