人类社会生活的丰富多彩反映在语言上的特点之一就是新词源源不绝,层出不穷。以英语为例,百年前出版的《Oxford English Dictionary》只有四十一万词条,如今英语全部词汇已逾百万之多。虽然词汇本身也有新陈代谢,但新词倍增是主要趋势。科技新词包罗万象,从词性上说主要是名词,也有动词、形容词等词类。这里只想就新词的译名问题,结合自己笔译工作所得讲点一孔之见,以期与同行切磋。 One of the linguistic features of the richness and diversity of human social life is the endless flow of new words. In English, for example, there were only 410,000 entries of “Oxford English Dictionary” published a hundred years ago, and nowadays there are over one million words in English. Although the vocabulary itself is also metabolically, double the number of new words is the main trend. New technologies are all-encompassing words, mainly from the part of the noun is the noun, there are verbs, adjectives and other parts. Just want to talk about the translation of new terms, combined with their own translation work point of view, with a view to peer review.
