英漢諺語對比研究
【摘要】： 諺語從廣義上講包括一個民族或一個地區廣為流傳的民諺俗語和格言名句。從整體上講，諺 語基本上是一個民族千百年來全體人民在生產和生活當中所產生的智慧的積淀與結晶，因而 具有較強的群眾基礎和旺盛的生命力。諺語不僅在民間廣為傳播，而且還頻繁地出現于各種 形式的文學作品當中。在現代媒體諸如報刊雜志、影視廣播當中也隨處可見諺語的蹤影。另 外，諺語具有音美、形美、意美的特征且包羅萬象，堪稱一部高度濃縮的百科全書。從語言 形式上看，諺語往往措辭簡練、對仗工整、充分使用各種修辭方式。從音韻角度來看，諺語 又富有樂感、音韻和諧、便于記誦。用語或典雅莊重或生動活潑、充滿著生活氣息。作為民 族文化的高度濃縮，諺語內容覆蓋面極為廣闊，可謂包羅萬象、蔚為大觀。窺一斑而見全豹， 透過諺語這一特殊語言文化層面，我們可以看到一個民族在其社會、文化、心理、以及哲學 思辯等方面所獨具的風采與魅力。簡言之，諺語具有言簡意豐的特點，富有思想性、藝術性、 哲理性。因此，諺語的重要性不容忽視。 正是基于對諺語重要性的充分認識，本文選擇了對英漢諺語作相對系統的對比研究。通過比 較和對比，我們不僅可以更好地了解英語諺語和漢語諺語的諸多方面，而且對于兩者相似與 相異之處也會產生更深的認識。對比研究的成果對于外語教學，對外漢語教學和翻譯等實踐 活動無疑具有相當的借鑒意義。另外，該研究也具有一定的理論意義。它將不僅拓寬對比語 言學的研究領域而且也會為文化語言學（或語言與文化研究）提供一個嶄新的研究視角。可 以毫不夸張地說，英漢諺語對比研究既具有現實意義也具有理論意義。然而，英漢諺語對比 研究并沒有得到足夠的重視。到目前為止，僅有一些相關的論文散見于各種學術刊物或論文 集當中。專論性著作尚未問世。與英漢成語（或習語）對比研究相比顯得尤為滯后。為此， 本文作者嘗試著對該領域進行相對系統性的研究。限于篇幅及作者的水平，本文還遠遠談不 上全面與深入。事實上，本文僅就英漢諺語的幾個主要方面進行探討。 全文共分為七章。第一，二章可以看作論文的引論部分。它為后面各章的討論提供了標準與 原理。其中，第一章，通過討論英漢諺語各自的界定及特征從而提出了本研究所涉及到的英 漢諺語的標準。
第二章著重討論了對比語言學的界定與原理。另外，第一，二章還探討了一 些有爭議的問題。比如：漢語中的諺語和俗語；比較語言學與對比語言學的相同相異之處以 及兩者的關系，等等。第三章至第六章可以看作論文的主體部分。其中第三章到第五章分別 從主要來源，句法特點和語體特點等三個方面對英漢諺語進行了對比研究。第六章討論了英 漢諺語在形式與內容方面的對應，半對應與不對應情況。通過這四章的研究，作者發現盡管 英漢諺語在很多方面有相似之處，但是由于兩種語言與文化存在著差異，英漢諺語必然也會 體現出各自的特征。第七章可以看作論文的結束語部分。通過廣泛吸收各種翻譯理論并充分 利用本文主體部分對英漢諺語對比研究之所得，作者在本章提出了文學作品中諺語翻譯的主 要原則。因此，第七章也體現了英漢諺語對比研究現實意義的一個方面，即它對翻譯活動的 借鑒作用。
