1.1The Achievements of English Translation of Terms with Chinese Characteristics
English has played an important role in communication since it was introduced into China. There have been dramatic changes in politics, economics, science and technology and other aspects of social life since the reform and opening-up. So in the process of international communication, terms with Chinese characteristics are translated into English. Many translators and scholars have studied the translation for some time. Some achievements have been made. We can consult some books or periodicals such as Approaches to Translation of Chinese Words and Expressions into English written by Yang Quanhong, On Translation of Chinese Press Neologisms into English written by Zhang Jian, etc. Articles on such topics are also available on the Internet.
2 The Cause of Difficulties in Translation of Terms with Chinese Characteristics
2.1 The Problems and Difficulties in Translation of Terms with Chinese Characteristics.
Though it has got some achievements, there are still problems and difficulties in translating terms with Chinese characteristics. On the one hand, terms with Chinese characteristics reflect our unique things and phenomena and imply the Chinese national characteristics, so its translation has its own particularity. Therefore, the English translation has little or no precedent to draw on, which requires the translators’ original creation. Meanwhile, because one of the most important aims of Chinese-English translation is to publicize our government's domestic policies and measures, as well as to clarify our government’s standpoints and attitudes towards international issues. Such political documents often involve new words of current state policies and principles and the basic policy. Therefore, the requirements of translating such documents are very strict. It is particularly important to avoid making political mistakes. For these reasons, we should not blindly copy the translation of western media. That is to say, when we translate these terms, we should take politics into consideration.本文来自优*文~论-文^网
2.2 The Cause of Difficulties in Translation of Terms with Chinese Characteristics
Language coming into being with the development of history, it is the vehicle of culture. Culture is like the soil raising the development of language. The true meaning of it is very familiar to the local cultural group, but it is new to different cultural ones. Different cultures create different language groups. Therefore, when they come to communicate and exchange their ideas, it leads to the vacancy in vocabulary; that is to say, we can not find the corresponding words to express the same meaning within the scope of non-native languages. These cultural differences mainly lie in religious beliefs, art, morals, laws, customs, and other social acquisitions and habits.
