英语的普及程度成为衡量一个不发达国家是否愿意融入世界主流体系的尺度,同．时是这些国家中产阶级和体力阶层的划分。中国的著名京剧《霸王别姬》译成英文是什么意思?美国有一家报纸将它翻译成:“再见了,我的小老婆”。即使是望文生义,也不该翻出这样的文字。这当然是对中国文化缺乏了解、自以为得计所致,叫人读了哭笑不得． The popularity of English has become a measure of whether an underdeveloped country is willing to integrate into the mainstream system of the world. The time is divided between the middle class and the physical class in these countries. What does it mean to translate Chinese famous opera “Farewell My Concubine” into English? A newspaper in the United States translated it as: “Good-bye, my little wife.” Even if it is literary, it should not reveal such words. This is of course due to a lack of understanding of Chinese culture and its own calculations.
