1、中英亲属称谓语对比及翻译亲属称谓亲属称谓社交称谓社交称谓根据根据现代汉现代汉语词典语词典的解的解释释,“称谓称谓”是是指指“人们由于人们由于亲属和别的亲属和别的方面的相互方面的相互关系关系,以及由以及由于身份、职于身份、职业等而得来业等而得来的名称。的名称。”一一般说来般说来,称谓可称谓可分为分为 称谓语的功能等值称谓语的功能等值 包惠兰认为称谓语的功能等值体现在四个方面： （1）表达称谓者的感情 （2）传达称谓者的语气 （3）体现交际者的身份 （4）反映交际场合的特点 在在现代汉语现代汉语中中,亲属称谓大都能把其身亲属称谓大都能把其身份表明一览无余份表明一览无余如辈份如辈份(父辈父辈:伯、舅

2、伯、舅;同辈同辈:哥、妹、堂弟哥、妹、堂弟),父系或母父系或母系系(姑、姨姑、姨),直系或傍系直系或傍系(孙、侄孙孙、侄孙),年龄的大小年龄的大小(叔、叔、伯、哥、弟伯、哥、弟)及血亲或姻亲及血亲或姻亲(哥、嫂子、姐、姐夫哥、嫂子、姐、姐夫)。 在在英语英语中，此类称谓则比较笼统、模糊中，此类称谓则比较笼统、模糊,一词多义一词多义,覆盖面广。除了辈份清楚外覆盖面广。除了辈份清楚外,其他其他关系只能从上下文中仔细推敲或当面询问。关系只能从上下文中仔细推敲或当面询问。如如sister姐妹同为一词姐妹同为一词,年龄大小不分年龄大小不分;grandmother既指奶奶也指外婆既指奶奶也指外婆,父系、母

3、系不分父系、母系不分;uncle可指叔、伯、舅、姑父可指叔、伯、舅、姑父,年龄、父系、母系不分。年龄、父系、母系不分。英语中的英语中的cousin一词更是无所不能一词更是无所不能,它不但年龄、父它不但年龄、父系、母系不分系、母系不分,连性别也不分连性别也不分,囊括了堂兄、堂弟、堂囊括了堂兄、堂弟、堂姐、堂妹、表哥、表弟、表姐、表妹等一系列汉语称姐、堂妹、表哥、表弟、表姐、表妹等一系列汉语称谓。谓。要准确地翻译这个词要准确地翻译这个词,必须置之于语境中考察。必须置之于语境中考察。 总之总之，汉语亲属称谓系统繁复多样，汉语亲属称谓系统繁复多样,且直系与且直系与旁系、血亲与姻亲、长辈与晚辈、年长与年

4、旁系、血亲与姻亲、长辈与晚辈、年长与年幼、男性与女性、近亲与远亲等都严加规范幼、男性与女性、近亲与远亲等都严加规范,一一区分一一区分,其语义功能之细密、描述之精确其语义功能之细密、描述之精确,令令人叹为观止。相比之下人叹为观止。相比之下,英语亲属称谓则相对英语亲属称谓则相对贫乏贫乏,而且指称宽泛、语义模糊而且指称宽泛、语义模糊,除区分辈分外除区分辈分外,亲疏、内外、长幼都可忽略不计。亲疏、内外、长幼都可忽略不计。例如：家庭成员之间例如：家庭成员之间,中国风俗兄弟姐妹一般中国风俗兄弟姐妹一般按长幼称呼按长幼称呼,如大哥、三弟、四妹等。如大哥、三弟、四妹等。而说英语的国家则习惯于互叫名字。许多人而

5、说英语的国家则习惯于互叫名字。许多人甚至直接用名来称呼父母的兄弟姐妹。甚至直接用名来称呼父母的兄弟姐妹。汉语称谓语介绍汉语称谓语介绍 汉语父系汉语父系/母系称谓语归类表母系称谓语归类表父方 母方 姑 姨 叔（伯） 舅 姑父 姨丈 婶 舅妈 侄 甥英语中称谓语介绍 (great) Grandfather (great) grandmother father uncle aunt mothercousins sister brother： Son（-in-low）/daughter （-in-low） niece /nephew Grandson/ granddaughter Grandfathe

6、r：祖父，外祖父 GrandmotlIer：祖母，外祖母 Father：父亲 father-in-law：公公；岳父 Mother：母亲 Mother-inlaw：婆婆；岳母 Sister：姬姐，妹妹Sister-inlaw；嫂子弟妹，小姑子。小姨手 Brother：哥哥，弟弟 Niece：侄女外甥女 Brother-in-law：姐夫，妹夫，小叔予，小舅子 Uncle：伯父，叔父，舅父，姑父，姨父 Nephew：侄子，外甥 Aunt：伯母，婶母，姑妈，姨妈，舅妈 Cousin：堂哥，堂弟。表哥，表弟堂姐，堂妹，表姐表妹汉英对比点 主要在三个方面进行对比：（1）长幼辈分上的差别：英语不分长幼

7、（2）血亲和姻亲 （3）泛化差别 排行+亲属词 译为序数词+亲属词这样翻译，虽然词汇上对应，但语义上并非完全对等，汉语排行称谓所反映的民族风情，译语读者仍是很难感受。由于两个民族的社会和民族心理不同，汉语中习惯用排行称谓，英语习惯用姓名称谓，翻译时可以把排行称谓直接译为姓名称谓，那么这种翻译方法就是归化法，也可以采用异化的翻译方法，即序数词+亲属词 1）一天，邻居王二婶王二婶不小心把钥匙锁在家里，很多热心人都前来帮忙，但都无济于事。 One day, through carelessness, Wang Ers wife, one of the elderly neighbors, locke

12、 you want to see the zoo. 讲礼貌、尚谦让是中华民族的传统美德，人们在说话时总是尽量谦卑，于人唯恐礼数不周，于是在社交称谓中产生了谦称和敬称。比如先生-晚生， 贤弟-愚弟， 夫人-贱内，令郎-犬子，大人-下官 汉语中的自称称谓语有很多， 朕、孤、 微臣、下官、 奴才、小的、 弟子、 妾、 奴家、 贫道、 贫僧、 鄙人。 英语里面自称称谓语一般只有第一人称代词 ，所以在汉译英中一般把那些自称称谓词译为英语的第一人称代词 11) 雨村起身也让道：“老先生老先生请便。晚生晚生乃常造之客，稍候何妨。” “Dont stand on ceremony, sir” said Yu-

13、tsun, rising. “I am a regular guest here, I dont mind waiting.” 称呼别人用尊称是汉语的习惯，老太太 、老太爷 、世翁、 恩师 、令郎 、千金。 英语中的对称语只有第二人称代词 陛下。 Your/his/her Majesty your/ his/her/ honor your/his/her lordship 汉语中的尊称可以译为对应的英语的尊称 或在指称名词前加上honorable respected worthy 等词，以使称谓语的语义相当。 12) 小人小人告了一年的状，竟无人作主；求大大老爷老爷拘拿凶犯，以扶善良，存殁存殁
