| Abstract: | In the field of translation,name translation is seldom noticed.Even though we can not deny that name translation is an indispensible part in translation,the attention that we paid to it is not enough.In Chinese and English cultures,names are given different significances.So it is necessary to pay enough attention to the translation of names from its situations,skills and meanings.But so far there is still no fixed standard of name translation,both from its forms and skills.Form the time that people from different cultures met and communicated,name translation had become a part that can not be ignored in translation.The target of name translation is simple,but the means of it are variable.The attractive ways of name translation are worth to study,and it is significant indeed.In this thesis I will focus on how to translate English names into Chinese,analysis the phenomena,explore the skills and come up with some valuable viewpoints.With some selected examples,we can discuss the problem we just noticed above,and several unsolved problems will appear in the thesis. |
