9、文化替代原语文化”即把在译语中找不到对等的外语词汇改头换面，或套用译语中与之相似的现成的表达法，把它们变成读者熟悉的译语文化形象。買鲷鴯譖昙膚遙闫撷凄。買鲷鴯譖昙膚遙闫撷凄届。归化派代表人物尤金奈达（Eugene A.

12、赏异国作品特有的韵味和语言风格，他们在读译文之前就已经对不同文化的差异有了一定的心理准备，有些人读译文的目的之一是想了解外国人与中国人之间的异同究竟在什么地方。因此，从促进世界文化交流这个角度上讲，我们在处理英译汉或汉译英时，都应着力于全面、完整地向译语读者介绍对方(己方)的全部意蕴，包括文化。特别要强调的是，在汉译英中，我们尤其要树立这种文化意识，积极创造条件，弘扬中华文化，帮助英语读者扩大加深对中华文化的了解。异化的翻译无疑在文化交流方面起了巨大的作用。輒峄陽檉簖疖網儂號泶。輒峄陽檉簖疖網儂號泶蛴。异化派代表人物韦努蒂（Lawrence Venuti ）: All roads lead t

In those layers of leaves, dotted with white flowers here and there, some are gracefully in bloom, some shyly in bud, like sca

26、ttered pearls, like stars in the clear sky, like beautiful girls just after a bath. Where gentle winds pass, there are wisps of light perfume, like faint songs coming from distant high buildings. At this moment, there is a tiny thrill between the flowers and leaves, like lightning, streaking across

27、the lotus pond suddenly. Leaves are shoulder to shoulder, closely standing together, now there is a patch of green water. Water is flowing silently under the leaves, it is hidden, no color can be seen, but more charming are the leaves.绽萬璉轆娛閬蛏鬮绾瀧。绽萬璉轆娛閬蛏鬮绾瀧恒。月光如流水一般，静静地泻在这一片叶子和花上。薄薄的青雾浮起在荷塘里。叶子和花仿佛在牛

28、乳中洗过一样；又像笼着轻纱的梦。虽然是满月，天上却有一层淡淡的云，所以不能朗照；但我以为这恰是到了好处酣眠固不可少，小睡也别有风味的。月光是隔了树照过来的，高处丛生的灌木，落下参差的斑驳的黑影，峭楞楞如鬼一般；弯弯的杨柳的稀疏的倩影，却又像是画在荷叶上。塘中的月色并不均匀；但光与影有着和谐的旋律，如梵婀玲上奏着的名曲。骁顾燁鶚巯瀆蕪領鲡赙。骁顾燁鶚巯瀆蕪領鲡赙骠。Moonlight is like flowing water, pouring peacefully onto the leaves and flowers. Filmy mists rise in the lotus pond.

29、The leaves and flowers are as if washed in cows milk, like a dream covered with light yarn. Although it is a full moon, there is a thin layer of cloud in the sky.

32、，思维又是如何作用在语言形式上的呢?通过研究可知：思维-表现法-语言具体形式。中国自古以来就是传统的农业大国，即所谓“靠天吃饭”。农业、土地与民生息息相关，所以就形成了“天人合一”这一中国文化的精髓。即把人与自然视为和谐统一的整体，人类文化与天命自然统一。栉缏歐锄棗鈕种鵑瑶锬。栉缏歐锄棗鈕种鵑瑶锬奧。The Taoist notion Of following nature is closed related，as in other naturalistic movements，to the idea of fate.辔烨棟剛殓攬瑤丽阄应。辔烨棟剛殓攬瑤丽阄应頁。这种中国文化的最高境界使中国人习惯于崇尚自然、行于自然；不违天命、顺其自然的处世哲学和宿命论，即Let things remain as they are.而在人与天地万物协调共存的世界中，则存在着循环往复、生生不息的发展变化。美国人说这是moving in endless cir
