文學(xué)翻譯工作被視為一項(xiàng)任何人都可以為之的技術(shù)性工作,只要文通字順地按字面意義轉(zhuǎn)譯完成即可,卻不管字里行間蘊(yùn)含的精神旨?xì)w。這種技術(shù)性的翻譯工作,其辛苦程度與重要程度,遠(yuǎn)不能與原創(chuàng)性的文學(xué)創(chuàng)作相等同。而其中中國成語翻譯是一個(gè)文學(xué)翻譯難點(diǎn),成語是一種形象化的語言,具有濃郁的民族色彩和地方色彩,它承載著中華五千年的文化底蘊(yùn)和文化信息。翻譯并非只是兩種語言之間的一種簡單的對應(yīng)轉(zhuǎn)換過程,而是發(fā)揮著一種文化的交流和傳遞人們的生活習(xí)慣,思維觀念的作用。現(xiàn)在我們長沙文學(xué)翻譯公司玖九翻譯中心就為大家分享成語俗語翻譯中文。
