A Study on the Characteristics and Translation of Chinese Ceramic Terms From the Perspective of Terminology
Abstract
Chinese traditional ceramic terms are the core concepts in Chinese ceramic culture, carrying rich cultural connotations and historical values, but there are still some problems in their English translations, such as mistranslations, redundant translations and low acceptability of translation, which hinder the foreign exchange of ceramic culture to a certain extent, and the external publicity of museums and cultural institutions is not ideal. This paper selects three ceramic classics in the middle and late Qing Dynasty and their English versions widely spread in the western world as the source to build a Chinese-English parallel corpus of ceramic classics, guided by the theory of terminology, and takes the characteristics of terms in ceramic classics as the object of investigation to explain their connotations and English translation rules.
