“龙”与“dragon”的文化异同 十

“龙”与“dragon”的文化异同 十

“龙”与“dragon”的文化异同

李 绍 青

(河北农业大学，河北 保定 071001；河北理工大学，河北 唐山 063009){dragon谚语}.

摘 要：在全球跨文化交际的力度、广度和深度日益加剧的今天，中西方文化的交流越来越频繁。然而，由此带来的文

化碰撞与摩擦也在所难免。中华民族“龙”文化与西方“dragon”文化的矛盾便是其中杰出的典范。二者的异同体现在国

俗、文学、习语等诸多方面，如何将“龙”之意象移植到英语中是涉及到中西方跨文化交际是否和谐的一大课题，故而

值得人们进行建设性的探析。

关键词：龙；dragon；习语；文化；英语翻译

中图分类号：H315.9 文献标识码：A 文章编号：1673-2065(2011)05-0055-05

有这样一个熟悉而又陌生的话题：汉字“龙”对

应的英文单词究竟是不是“dragon”？此中学问之

大，非“脚踏东西文化，手写宇宙文章”不可，诚如

王佐良先生所言：“译者处理的是个别的词，他面对 的则是两大片文化。”

一、中国“龙”

1. “龙”文化

龙在中国人的心目中，是充满神奇力量的吉祥神

物。在中国传统文化中，龙是美好和权力的象征；在 现代文化中，龙代表着兴旺发达、吉祥幸福。人们把 中国文化称为龙文化，龙成为“中国文化奋发精神的 象征”。

通天神兽：龙，中国古代传说中的神异动物，身

体长、有鳞、有脚、能走、能飞、能游泳、能兴云降 雨。如《西游记》所描绘的那样，龙王是奉玉帝旨意 行雨的神仙。

吉祥瑞符：龙是中国上古时代图腾的产物。古人

称龙为四灵(龙Chinese dragon

①,[1]73-74、凤phoenix、

麒麟unicorn、龟tortoise)之长。二龙戏珠，神龙绕 柱，龙凤呈祥，并非仅仅为了装饰；舞龙灯、赛龙舟 也绝不仅仅是为了娱乐。

皇权象征：历代帝王以“真龙天子”自居，“龙

种自与常人殊”“天之骄子”“龙子龙孙”。就连皇 帝的一切御用之物也均冠以龙字：龙体(the body of

the emperor)、龙座(the seat for the emperor)、龙冠(the emperor’s splendid official cap)、龙床(bed of state/ the

emperor's bed)、龙袍(imperial robe)、龙被(the quilt for the emperor) „„自命不凡、不可一世。

人杰喻体：除了喻指帝王，“龙”还是“人中之

杰”的代名词。孔子称老子为“龙”、孔明道号“卧 龙”。而“乘龙快婿”“望子成龙”“鲤鱼跳龙门” 中的“龙”显然喻指有德有才、功成名就者。

以龙命名：与“龙”有关的人名，如著名武术家

Lee Siu Loong李小龙(“小龙”的意思是“健壮机灵 的孩子”)，书名如《文心雕龙》(Wen Xin Diao

Long——Carving the Dragon at the Core of Literature)、 《天龙八部》(Demi-gods and Semi-devils)，电影如《

卧

虎藏龙》(Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon)、《龙门客 栈》(Dragon Gate Inn)，电视剧如《聊斋志异·龙戏 蛛》(the Dragon fighting against the spider in Lioastai)， 地名如黄龙府，水名如黑龙江，物名如水龙头。

民族标志：中国人是“龙的传人”(descendants

of the Chinese dragon——metaphor for the Chinese nation)，中国是“龙的国度”，以龙为祖，惟龙是 尊，龙成为中华民族的象征；龙在中国是最伟大的文 化标记，是几千年来的旗帜。

龙为属相：在十二属相/生肖(zodiac signs)(鼠

mouse、牛bull、虎tiger、兔rabbit、龙Chinese dragon、蛇snake、马horse、羊sheep、猴monkey、 鸡rooster、狗dog、猪boar)中，“龙”是唯一找不到 原型动物的属相。龙是一种想象出来的生物，头部似 骆驼或马或蛇，角似鹿，眼似兔子，耳似牛，脖子和 身体似蛇，腹似蜃，鳞似鲤鱼，爪似鹰，掌似虎，还 有着胡须和腮须。肖龙的人，常被赋予朝气蓬勃、活 56 衡水学院学报 第13卷

力无穷、勇敢有为的禀性。(If someone is born under the sign of the dragon, he or she is apt to be regal, possess strong leadership qualities, has a large ego, and can be somewhat tyrannical.)当被问及“What animal sign were you born under? (你属什么？)”时，其会自豪地回 答：“I was born in the year of the Chinese Dragon /

Mine is the Chinese Dragon.(我属龙)/ Now, we are in the year 2012, the year of the Chinese dragon (which is also my zodiac year). (今年(2012年)是龙年，也是我的本命

年。)”。龙年出生的人，据说都带着命运之角。

2. “龙”习语

cyclone/tornado；亚洲四小龙the four tigers of Asia； 龙头企业the locomotive or flagship；一条龙服务one package service/all-in-one service/one-stop chain services；龙的精神spirit of the dragon。

(2) 成语

[lucky] son-in-law；望子成龙hold high hopes for one’ s child/ expect one’s son to become an outstanding person/ long to see one’s son become a dragon, that is , be successful；鲤鱼跳龙门like a carp leaping into the Dragon's Gate——succeed in the civil service examination in old times; Endeavour to make a success of oneself；龙飞凤舞like dragons flying and phoenixes dancing——lively and vigorous flourishes in calligraphy; elegant handwriting; make beautiful strokes with one's pen；生龙活虎full of vim and vigor；车水马龙heavy
