摘要
2024年中国官方对“龙”的英译进行正名,由dragon正式更改为Loong。这一变化看似是语言小事,实则含有文化及政治等多种因素,彰显话语传播主导权和文化自信心,体现中国话语体系的自主构建和国家语言政策的议程设置,有助于更准确地传达“龙”在中国文化中的正面形象和象征意义。本文从历时词源视角梳理“译龙”的演变过程,从共时外译层面考察“译龙”的争议原因,再从龙的外译实质与话语规划视角进行反思,接着运用“传播五要素”理论探究话语规划的原则与要求,最后以龙的外译为案例,借鉴“话语规划五个流程模式”寻找话语实践路径。
In 2024,the Chinese government officially established the English translation of“Long”from dragon to Loong.This rectification,seemingly a trivial matter of language,contains cultural and political factors,highlighting the dominant power of discourse communication and cultural self-confidence,reflecting the independent construction of China s discourse system and the agenda setting of national language policy,and helping to more accurately convey the positive image and symbolic significance of“dragon”in Chinese culture.This article first reviews the evolution of dragon translation from the perspective of diachronic etymology and examines the controversy of dragon translation from the synchronic perspective,and then reflects on the essence of dragon translation and discourse planning.It applies the“Five Elements of Communication Theory”to probe into the principles and requirements of discourse planning and finally based on the case study of Loong translation and referring to the“Five Process Models of Discourse Planning”,it attempts to explore the practical path of discourse planning.
