汉语网络新词的英译研究

摘要

随着社会政治，经济和科技的飞速发展，语言作为社会变迁的晴雨表，也发生了重大变化。

我们都知道，语言是随着社会的进步和时代的变迁而发展起来的。

这篇论文首先向我们介绍了汉语网络新词的起源，特点，形成原因和社会功能，使我们更深刻地了解它们。

然后，它向我们呈现了在英译过程中出现的一些问题，它们主要是冗长翻译，中国式英语翻译和不完全翻译。

此外，这篇论文进一步研究了在翻译网络新词时可能用到的翻译原则和翻译方法。

翻译原则主要采用了奈达的功能对等理论和考虑文化的可接受性原理，而可能用到的翻译方法有直译，音译和释义。

在翻译网络新词时，若能在译入语中找到与原语相对应的翻译是最好的，但由于各国存在的文化差异，难免存在词汇空缺。

这种情况下，在翻译网络新词时，我们应该采用适当的翻译方法，以便读者能够理解这些新词产生的背景及其内涵。
