归化和异化是英汉翻译中的两种基本方法,它们的区别在于翻译过程中使用原语的表达方式还是使用异语的表达方式。归化译法易于读者接受和理解,但它是牺牲大量的文化附载为代价;异化译法在保持对原文的忠实,促进文化交流和吸收外来词汇方面起了积极作用。两者相辅相成,缺一不可,在翻译习语时应将两中方法并用。 Domestication and alienation are two basic methods in English-Chinese translation. The difference between them is whether to use the primitive language or the foreign language expression in the translation process. Domestication is easy to be accepted and understood by readers, but it comes at the cost of sacrificing a large number of cultural attachments. Dissimilatory translation plays a positive role in keeping faithful to the original text, promoting cultural exchange and absorbing foreign words. The two complement each other, both indispensable, in the translation of idioms should be two methods and use.
