走出异文化同类概念误读的盲区——以三组中西文化主题词为例

当从“自我”文化走进“他者”文化时，我们会发现彼此之间存在着众多惊人相似的文化“品种”，诸如共同拥有哲学、理性、诗歌、戏剧等。但是，在各自的地理、历史因素无形之手的铸塑下，这些各族文化“品种”的实质、形态变得不尽相同。以三组中西文化主题词为例，在把握这些同类“品种”的概念时，特别是用本族语去指称他者文化的同类“品种”时，要警惕以“自我”文化语境中的所指去填塞“他者”文化的能指，而应让这些概念还原、激活于自身文化语境之中，从而走出异文化同类概念误读的盲区。

Stepping out of the Blind Zone of Misreading Similar Concepts in Different Cultures——4 case study of three group of subject words in Chinese and Western Cultures

When going from "one's own" culture to "others'" culture,we will find there exist a lot of amazingly similar cultural "species" in each other,such as the shared philosophy,rationality,poetry,drama,etc.However,under the molding of respective geographical and historical respects,like intangible hands,all these cultural "species" of every nation become different either in essence or in forms.This paper,by taking three groups of subject words in Chinese and Western cultures as an example,points out that we should be alert at mistaking the signifier in "one's own" cultural context for the signified in "others'" culture,when grasping these similar "species",especially when referring to those similar "species" in other cultures by using those in our own culture;instead,we should get those concepts restored and activated in their own cultural context,so as to step out of the blind zone of misreading similar concepts in different cultures.
