概念生成的认知对比与英汉科技术语翻译

科技术语翻译在传递科学概念和科学内容的过程中,要做到概念上的等值和用词上的对应。由于英汉在概念生成机制上的差异,在确保概念等值的条件下,术语命名时的用词需要作出必要的调整。因此,科技术语翻译的深入研究,应从感知对比视角,探讨概念生成过程中英汉思维模式和语言表达特点,寻求概念意义等值、语言表达确切的术语翻译方法。

Cognitive Contrast of English-Chinese Conceptual Production and Translation of Scientific-technical Terms

Equivalent in concept and correspondent in wording are most needed in the translation of terms with scientific-technical information. The words used in the renaming of terms should be adjusted accordingly for the conceptual equivalence, because of the difference in conceptual generation mechanism between English and Chinese.Thus further research on the translation of scientific-technical terms ought to probe into the features of the thinking mode and language expression of the two languages for better results with equivalent concept and exact wording of the terms,on the contrast between English-Chinese perception.
