Moreover, two-part allegoric sayings of idioms are more unique in their expressions. There is no completely corresponding express

The purpose of this paper is to discuss the guiding significance of equivalent translation theory in the translation practice of two-part allegoric sayings, to reveal the cu

19、two-part allegorical sayings are conceptual in nature, exhibiting multiple semantic operations among metaphor, metonymy, and knowledge frame”(Lakoff & Johnson 2003: 58). As for the study of two-part Allegoric Sayings, although many efforts have been taken to explore it, there are still some differen

20、t ideas about its classifications, translation methods and so on. In order to help the target language readers have a better understanding about Chinese two-part allegotic sayings and Chinese culture. It is of great importance to introduce two-part allegotic sayings to foreign countries. So the ulti

21、mate purpose of this paper is to explore the translation methods of two-part allegotic sayings under Nidas functional equivalence theory.Based on the previous researches, this paper tends to analyze the translation of two-part allegotic sayings with Functional Equivalence as a guiding theory. This t

22、hesis can be divided into three chapters as follows:Chapter One provides an introduction to two-part allegoric sayings, including its definition, classification, characteristics and functions. Chapter Two makes an overview of Functional Equivalence theory which consists of its definition and levels.

23、 Chapter Three starts with the influence of cultural factor upon two-part allegoric sayings translation. Then several methods of two-part allegotic sayings translation have been come up with. Such as Literal translation, free translation, the combination of literal and free translation and so on. I.

24、 Introduction to Two-part Allegoric SayingsTwo-part allegotic sayings is a very special part of Chinese culture, and created by ancient people according to their rich life experiences. It is a kind of special humorous language form and a unique way to express the Chinese national culture. So it is w

25、idely used in peoples daily life and some traditional works, such as A Dream of Red Mansions. Two-part allegotic sayings has its own characteristics. Firstly, it consists of two parts in its form. Secondly, figures of speech such as simile and pun can be easily found in its content.1.1 Definition of

26、 Two-part Allegoric SayingsTwo-part allegotic sayings has been discussed since 1930s, but its definition still remains controversial in spite of numerous researches and definitions provided by Chinese scholars. Two-part allegotic sayings belongs to the common sayings(idioms), except that it has a pa

27、rticular structure of a riddle. Two-part allegotic sayings is similar to a phrase for it explains the meaning of a phrase in two parts-the first part can be regarded as a simile or a statement describes a riddle, while the second part, sometimes unstated, carried a message as the answer to the riddl

28、e (The Contemporary Chinese Dictionary of Idioms). 1.2 Types of Two-part Allegoric SayingsThe discussions about the classification have not come to an agreement till now. The representative and widely accepted ones are proposed by Ma Guofan and Gao Gedong, Sun Weizhang, and each of them wins many su

29、pporters.Ma Guofan and Gao Gedong said, “Two-part allegotic sayings can be divided into two types: metaphorical ones and homophonic ones according to whether the second part uses homophones or not”(1979:18). The former ones refer to those whose first parts are metaphors and second parts are explanat

30、ions for the first parts. However, the latter ones are related to those whose second parts use homophones to express a sense of pun. As for the latter one, we can see that it is not all-sided because the second part of two-part allegotic sayings expressing puny sense with a homophone is not always r

31、ight. On the one hand, for instance, “七十岁戴眼镜老花(话)(a seventy-old person wears glasses presbyopia( an old saying)”(刘淑娟2011:5). While on the other hand, in some other cases, such punny sense can be indicated by using a pomograph. For example, “一顿饭能吃三升米肚量大( a person can eat three liters of rice in one m

32、eala big stomach( a broad tolerance)”(刘淑娟2011:6).Sun Weizhang(1989:289-291) divides two-part allegotic sayings into two types metaphorical ones and puny ones. And metaphorical two-part allegotic sayings include explanatory ones, revealing ones and associating ones based on the relationship between t

33、wo parts. 1.3 Characteristics of Two-part Allegoric Sayings“Two-part allegotic sayings is ubiquitous, vividly employing the full spectum of traditional Chinese history and imagery, from the lofty to the mundane”(Rohsenow 1991:59). Which, undoubtedly, is full of the colorful Chinese culture. The firs

34、t part often provides a vivid image and the second part intends to explain the implicit meaning of the first part. For example,猫哭耗子假慈悲(A cat crying over a mouses misfortunesham mercy). It is easy for the readers to imagine a clear picture from the vivid description of the first part, nevertheless, t

35、he second part is the truth and explanation to the first part. As we all know, cat and mouse are a pair of natural enemy, so it is impossible for a cat to show sympathy for a mouse sincerely. The only result of the situation listed above is that the cat show sham mercy to the mouse, and eat the mous

36、e when it is unprepared.1.4 Functions of Two-part Allegoric Sayings“Generally speaking, two-part allegotic sayings plays two kinds of fuctions in its application: communicative fuctions and rhetorical fuxtions”(许家群 2010:7). Most people focus their attentions on the application of Two-part allegotic

37、sayingsin in daily life, that is the communicative functions of two-part allegotic sayings have attracted much attention. However, in fact, the rhetorical effect of Two-part allegotic sayings is its main function. Anyhow, the two types of functions are related to each other and can not be seperated.

38、1.4.1 Communicative Function of Two-part Allegoric Sayings “For Jakobson, language is above all, as any semiotic system, for communication”(胡壮麟2011:9). In fact, two-part allegotic sayings as a form of language, actually it acts as a tool of communication and often appears in peoples daily life as we

39、ll as other language forms. 1.4.2 Rhetoric Fuction of Two-part Allegoric Sayings“The most important rhetorical effect achieved by two-part allegotic sayings is humor, irony or sarcasm embodied in it”(温端政 1985:30). Some Two-part allegotic sayings provide a sense of humour. For example,蚊子叮菩萨认错人(A msqu

40、ito bites a clay Buddhamistaking dentity). The first part of this two-part allegotic sayings shows a picture that a mosquito flies into a temple and tries to bite a clay idol whose appearance is similar to a real person.The second part explains that the mosquito mistakes the idol for a true person.

41、Ironic and sarcastic effect can be achieved in some other two-part allegotic sayings. For instance,黄鼠狼给鸡拜年没安好心(A weasel pays a New Year call on a hennot with a good intention). The weasel, as everyone knows, is one of the worst enemys of hens, therefore, if a weasel pays a New Year call on a hen, it

42、 could not have good intentions but want to eat the hen. II. An Overview of Functional Equivalence “Functional equivalence theory” was proposed by American famous translation theorist, Eugene Nida. This theory is considered as the representative works of contemporary translation theory by the wester

43、n translation field. The theory emphasizes the equivalent translation from source language to target language in its culture. Before going to problems and solutions to functional equivalence in two-part allegotic sayings translation, the definition and levels of functional equivalence are discussed

44、first. 2.1 Definition of Functional Equivalence “Dynamic equivalence”, a key concept in Nidas translation theory, defined as “the principle of equivalent effect”. By the mid-1980s, “dynamic equivalence” was replaced by “functional equivalence”. “Functional equivalence” allows a wide range of diversi

45、ty in translating, so the translator can have more freedom to deal with problems in translation. In such a translation, dynamic translation, one is not so concerned with matching the receptor-language message with the source language message, but with the dynamic relationship, that the relationship between receptor and message should be substantially the same as that which existed
