第二篇：网络流行语英文PPT

2015年即将要过去了。回首一年，都有哪些网络流行语红极一时呢？你知道用英文怎么讲嘛？跟小编一起看看吧！

1.上交给国家(handover sth to the government)“上交给国家”出自电视剧版《盗墓笔记》，为了能顺利过审，主角吴邪一改原著中的盗墓说辞，改成将所有看到的文物“上交国家”，于是片中的所有宝藏，都摆脱不了“上交国家”的命运，由此引发原著粉和看剧党的大规模的吐槽。

这个词组也是属于中国特有滴，所以小编认为直译会比较靠谱，即为handover sth to the government 或者说handover sth to the authority，你觉得呢？ 2.吓死本宝宝了(scared to death)“吓死宝宝了”这里的“宝宝”指的是自己，是吓死我了的意思，自称本宝宝只是为了卖萌，说自己很可爱！可以译成im scared to death或者说it scared my pants off!3.明明可以靠脸吃饭(could have earned a living with face)小编认为这句话用英语表达就是：she could have earned a living with face, but instead, she uses her talent.4.世界那么大，我想去看看(the world is big and i want to see it.)5.睡什么睡，起来嗨(wake up and get high with us!)6.重要的事情说三遍(important things cannot be underscored too much.)最早说的应该是某房地产网站的电台广告语：“走直线，走直线，走直线，重要的事情说三遍。”此广告一经推出，迅速火遍各大电台，重要事情说三遍被各类广告和跟风使用，洗脑作用可见一斑。

7.傻白甜(blonde)傻白甜通常指电视剧或电影中的女主角，蠢萌没有心机，后用来形容没有演技的角色。傻白甜有两个方向，一是指尽管桥段有些老旧，但剧情并不狗血，比较美好温柔甜美的爱情故事；另外可以用来形容爱情故事里的女主角，个性没有心机，蠢萌可爱，让人感觉很温馨。

在英语中相应的表达就是blonde，来形容那些容貌姣好，内心单纯甚至有点小傻的女人。8.我的内心几乎是崩溃的(i lost my control, in my heart.)某公司ceo在接受媒体采访中说了一句：“我的内心几乎是崩溃的”，鸭梨山大的表达道出很多人的心声，在播出之后被不少网友争相借用，成为2015年的热词。9.小鲜肉(he is such a young handsome!)用于形容年轻、帅气、有肌肉的男生，一般是指年龄在12-25岁之间的性格纯良，感情经历单纯，没有太多的情感经验，且长相俊俏的男生。10.城会玩(townies behaviors.)“你们城里人真会玩(we cant understand you townies behaviors.)”的简称，指某些人的行为很作。

11.心塞(feel stifled)12.么么哒(love you, my darling)一般用于情侣、闺蜜或关系较好的人之间，表示亲近的意思，可译为love you, my darling, my dear。

13.你行你上啊(you can you up/if you can do it then you should go up and do it.)14.有钱就是任性(a rich man is capricious.)这句话也在2015年红遍了大江南北，有人明知自己被骗，但还是给骗子汇去54万元。警察问他为什么时，他说就想知道骗子还能骗他多少钱！被广大网友调侃为：有钱就是这么任性！

任性一词在两会上被官方翻译翻成了capricious，更多人觉得willful比较贴切，所以“有钱任性”可以译为a rich man is absolutely capricious/willful.或者you rich men can do anything with the money you’ve got.篇二：英语网络流行语

what brother is smoking is not a cigarette, but loneliness!出处：7月初，在百度贴吧里突然有人发了一张一名非主流男子吃面的图片，图片配文“哥吃的不是面，是寂寞”。之后一发不可收拾，有网友相继模仿“哥×的不是×，是寂寞”的句式，“哥上的不是网，是寂寞”、“哥爱的不是你，是寂寞”?? 3.贾君鹏你妈妈喊你回家吃饭！

jia junpeng, your mother wants you to go home to have some food.出处：贾君鹏只是个网络虚拟人物，但是在2009年7月16日百度贴吧里的魔兽世界吧里，一个只有标题《贾君鹏，你妈妈喊你回家吃饭！》的空帖，短短几个小时就被390617名网友浏览，引来超过1.7万条回复，并在接下来的一天时间内吸引了710万点击和30万的回复。入选理由：相当长一段时间内，“×××，你妈妈喊你回家吃饭！”这种兼具家庭式温馨的调侃语录成了最流行的网络问候语，并影响了社会各界和媒体们对此语录的深度分析。4.人生就像茶几，上面摆满了杯具。

“杯具”一词诞生后，网上出现了“杯具党”，网友们又创造了“餐具（惨剧）”、“洗具（喜剧）”和“茶具（差距）”。

入选理由：在网友看来，“杯具”这个词比“悲剧”能表现内心的无奈，同时又多了一分自嘲的乐观态度，比之前单纯的悲观也多了一分希望。5.不要迷恋哥，哥只是个传说。

dont be obsessed with brother.he is only a legend.出处：这句话的起源是猫扑大杂烩，由网友“不要迷恋哥”的一个帖子引起的恶搞。

6.人情债，我肉偿了！

my debts of gratitude have been repaid with my body!出处：《蜗居》用犀利的笔触讲述了现代都市白领阶层对房子的渴望以及房奴生活的酸甜苦辣。虽然仍然以上海为故事背景，但剧中人物每日挣扎与奋斗，付出巨大的大城市生活成本，却是很多都市白领的生活写照，编剧六六的犀利台词也成为很多人新的msn签名。

入选理由：除了关注热门的社会话题外，剧中的台词也很潮，不仅幽默风趣充满智慧，还贴近老百姓的生活。随着《蜗居》的热播，剧中犀利有深度的台词也随之走红，成为观众们讨论的热点。

耍贫嘴才是生活的真谛，你噼里啪啦一顿胡侃，不光自己忘了苦恼，也把别人忽悠的忘乎所以——还一本正经的拉住你的手，放在她手心，一把鼻涕一把泪的说：麦兜，我终于找到生活的真谛了~ 8.你out了！

you are left behind the times.入选理由：据了解，现在国内无论是电视媒体还是平面媒体都在统计2009的流行语，对于out这个词儿，有相当一部分人在肯定它流行的同时，也表现出了“深恶痛绝”的态度。这个词儿乍一听没什么杀伤力，可真要摊到自己身上，还真是挺不舒服的。9.雷锋做好事不留名，但把每一件事情都记到日记里。

lei feng does good without seeking recognition, but he records everything in his diary.出处：为什么雷锋做好事不留名，但把每一件事情都记到日记里？这成为今年各大论坛的热贴。人们的回答花样百出，令人捧腹。

入选理由：接过雷锋的枪，雷锋是我们的好榜样；接过雷锋的枪，千万个雷锋在成长??儿时的歌又在耳边响起。也有网友回帖道：雷锋做了好事不留名，但是每一件事情都记到日记里面，而我从来不写日记。10.这事儿不能说太细。

it cannot be explained in detail.入选理由：在天涯、猫扑等论坛，一些帖子下面，常常跟有“这事楼主说得太细了，下回注意”、“这事儿我不能说太细”之类的回帖，与去年“我是来打酱油的”、“做几个俯卧撑就走”等回帖风格十分近似。在“百度知道”，已经出现了“这事儿不能说太细”的解答，并且已有网友建立“这事儿不能说太细”吧，搜狐还有网友列出了“这事儿不能说太细”的俄语、荷兰语、法语、德语等版本译法。

Chapter 1 Introduction Catchwords as a lexical phenomenon reflect people’s general concern on problems and issues of specific periods of time in one country or one district.Different period has different catchwords.In the early days of new China, the word 同志（people who hold same aspirations/comrade）originated from Soviet Union was popular among different strata;During the cultural revolution period, 阶级斗争（class struggle）,上山下乡(going to the mountainous areas and the countryside)became catchwords of that time;between 1980s and1990s, 脱贫致富（cast off poverty to get rich）, 奔小康（strive for a relatively comfortable life）were prevalent in those two decade years;Since the new century, all kinds of catchwords have become popular by means of network transmission.Furthermore, different social groups also hold distinct catchwords.Therefore, catchword as a piece of social sensitive nerves represents various changes of society and widespread responsive reflection of public attitudes.Having carried out reform and opening-up policy for thirty years, China has given birth to many new thoughts and things while so-called catchwords appropriately bear witness to these changes.Changing times arouses surge in people’s mind, which seeks innovation methods from a linguistic point of view.Therefore, based on complicated psychology and social background, catchwords mostly result form era of social changes which carry much higher cultural contents.Meanwhile, some also originate from dialects and influenced by regional cultures.In a word, the existence and prevalence of catchwords is both a cultural phenomenon and a linguistic phenomenon.From a positive aspect, catchwords are pipelines to multiply lexis and also accesses to some certain social culture or emotional abreactions.Moreover, network catchwords are one type of whole catchwords.Network catchwords namely prevalent words in internet which are the expressions established by netizens through common usage.With popularization of the internet, Chinese netizens create many humorous and witty words some of which spread like wildfire through internet and also gradually enter the 1

social life.These network catchwords as a type of special linguistic variants also hold cultural connotations besides denotations.All in all, network catchwords use vivid forms to express special meanings, which enrich our discourse space, generalize the raw style and content for living together with build up aesthetic value through ridicule person and ridicule words.With social development, cultural diversification and flourishing mass media as well as thriving network, the popularization range of network catchwords will be expanded step by step.Thus, it is necessary to research its Chinese-English translations because they have a realistic meaning in current society.The thesis consists of five chapters.Chapter one is an introduction to background information of catchword and network catchword.Chapter two firstly focuses on the sources of network catchwords then concludes the causes of its popularity.Chapter three introduces main features of network catchwords.By means of arduous analysis and generalization, chapter four have given priority to the English translation versions of Chinese network catchwords.Finally, the thesis comes to a conclusion.本科毕业论文

Chapter2 Sources of Network Catchwords The birth of internet to the production of human life brought about profound changes.Network becomes the fourth media after newspaper, radio and television and also creates new information exchanges and dissemination, which has brought communication environment, communication way to update and formed a new variant of network language-network catchwords.Xie Xinzhou(2002)considered that generalized network language could be classified into three types, firstly network technical terms like online, chat room, website, internet bar and hacker and so on.Secondly, language used in chat room, BBS or other forums namely netizens’ communication language.Thirdly, language of network news, network advertisement and network literature.However, narrowly-defined network catchwords refer to the second type.On one hand, lexis is one of the most active aspects in linguistic revolution of which network catchwords are complicated one.Furthermore, the formation and development of any language are linked with social background and cultural accumulation.It is these sources that form the new linguistic style—network catchwords.2.1 From Network Expression

With the coming of internet era, network has penetrated into people’s daily life.Though closely linked with communication activities of daily life, Language used in the virtual world is different from it.2.1.1 From Current Affairs

CNN(Cable News Network)originally is a US cable news channel founded in 1980 by Ted Turner.Upon its launch, CNN was the first channel to provide 24 hour television news coverage and the first all-news television channel in the United States(Wikipedia).In the CNN report of 2008, it appeared foreign media’s twisted coverage of Tibet happenings.Many Chinese thought it was biased.It drew more attention after CNN commentator Jack Cafferty’s rude talk of China 3

during the Olympic torch passed in the United States.Later, network catchword做人不能太CNN(do not be too CNN)which means how to keep one’s integrity towards some falsification events becomes popular among netizens.In previous time, 打酱油(to get some soy sauce)was a true portrayal of people’s daily life.Nowadays, it is given a new meaning it is none of my business to imply audiences’ attitudes of drawing veil over politics and sensitive topics to protect themselves.As far as we know, Phoenix was a miraculous animal and king of birds in Chinese ancient mythology and legend.However, in Western mythology, there still has such kind of bird called fire bird or immortal bird.As Chinese saying goes golden phoenix flying from the deep hill, the new compounding catchword凤凰男(phoenix man)is prevalent in society because it represents a kind of men who grew up poor and in the countryside, but later move to a big city and married a city girl.Are you obsessed with football? If you are, you must know the source of network catchword叉腰肌(Psoas muscle).Xie Yalong, the former head of the Chinese Football Association, once criticized women players, saying they have weak psoas muscles.(this is the muscle that links the trunk to the legs ,it is important for motion.)However, nobody knew where the muscle is.Altogether, about the network catchwords of this type, it is hard to find corresponding English versions in the progress of translation.As long as event-backgrounds are defined, translation versions will be better understood by foreigners.2.1.2 From Network Paste Bar

What is paste bar? Paste bar is an online community bound tightly with searching service in which people express what they think about a specific topic, like a big group.In this big group, there are so many smaller groups, each group has its own keywords which is the common interest of every members.Generally, users search or create a bar by keyword.They type the keyword and enter the bar.If the bar has not been created before, it will be created at the time you search it(Wikipedia).Due to the convenience of senting pictures into internet, sometimes, many netizens are struck 4

dumb with astonishments even without uttering any words to depict them when faced with these weird, peculiar pictures.So the word雷(stun)becomes an replacement to express netizens’

embarrassing feelings of that specific moment.After that, these new lexis 雷人(stunning),雷倒(stunned)and 雷文(stunning words)came out but not briefly translated as surprise or astonishing just with literal meanings.From internet forum mop hodgepodge in March,2009, a netizen named don’t be infatuated with me have a spoof on some pictures and then others quickly transmit the catchword不要迷恋哥，哥只是一个传说(Don’t be obsessed with me, I’m only a legend.)in internet.Later, in September, someone posts a photograph of an non-mainstream man eating noodle adding a sentence哥吃的不是面，是寂寞(What I’m eating is not noodles, but solitude)in Baidu paste bar.After that, this catchword turns out to be the greatest love of people.With fertile imaginations of new generations about new social fashion, they create different kinds of network catchwords to generalize some kinds of people.Nowadays, many job-seeking youngsters including college students devote their time and energy to preparing exams that award an array of certificates in order to prove their language and computer skills in the hope of securing an edge over other applicants in the job market.Because of this phenomenon, the network catchword哈证族(Certificate maniac)emerges as the times require.On the contrary, a graduate student once issued a post to claim that he was employed without knowing.Behind the scenes, we could imagine what the true employment percentage of university graduates is.Additionally, the word 被就业(falsification of graduates employment status)comes into people’s view.In other cases, some traditional words change or completely change its original semantic meanings to some degree in current society.Some small factories started by small workshops imitate famous brands to create low-price, civilian products.Owing to their cheapness and popularity, the catchwords 山寨(copycatting)becomes a top hit because it reflects common phenomenon in Chinese manufacturing industry.Therefore,山寨(copycatting)originally means a mountain fortress but later transforms into new meaning duplicates of world class brands criticized by foreigners on this phenomenon.Moreover, Google gives a suitable 5

translation version copycatting which has been included to network dictionary.2.2 From Entertainment Industry

The entertainment industry(also informally known as show business or show biz)consists of a large number of sub-industries devoted to entertainment.However, the term is often used in the mass media to describe the mass media companies that control the distribution and manufacture of mass media entertainment.In the popular parlance, the term show biz in particular connotes the commercially popular performing arts, especially musical theatre, vaudeville, comedy, film, television play and variety shows etc.Broadly speaking, as a type of tertiary industry, the bloom of entertainment not only brings about mental and psychological pleasure in people, but also makes us have an opportunity to taste new-appeared network catchwords.2.2.1 From Television Play

A television sketch不差钱(Money is not a problem)of Spring Festival Evening Party in 2009 becomes popular all over the country after the classic performance of Zhao Benshan,Xiao Shenyang.Nowadays, some guests always use this catchword when having meals in restaurants.Along with audiences’ high concern on house slave of television play蜗居(dwelling narrowness),two catchwords 蚁族(the ant tribe)and 房奴(house slave)of this type are becoming hit catchwords during the two meetings(National People's Congress and Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference)of 2010.Meanwhile,the classical lines人情债，我肉偿了(My debts of gratitude have been repaid with my body!)also receives an unexpected reaction in the recesses of people’s heart.As far as I am concern, the reason why these words of dwelling narrowness are conspicuous in current society is that this teleplay deeply touches white-collar employees to the sweets and bitters of battling strenuously for a house.While at the early time of previous year, Topics in Focus of CCTV broadcasts a programme suspicious toll which immediately causes public concern on it.When questioned how large amounts of Tianjin annual road construction loan, Liu Bo, deputy director of Tianjin municipal highway

administration fees said that it can not be explained in detail(这事不能细说)which turns into a conspicuous network catchwords implying the dirty trick among some governmental or regional departments.Are you familiar with Lecture Room of CCTV 10? If you are, you may be a fan of Yi Zhongtian.In a programme of Lecture Room, professor Yi Zhongtian once sighed such a sentence,悲剧啊(tragedy,ah).Later, netizens copy this exclamatory sentence into internet filled with allegorical illustration.Thus, netizens has given birth to the usage of such catchwords人生就像茶几，上面摆满了茶具(Tableware is to the table what tragedy is to life)in internet.Besides the above-mentioned catchwords, dialects of some teleplay also arouse audiences’ interest and then popularize over the whole country.For example, dialect catchwords 得瑟(arrogant/rampant)and妥了(something is done)become beloved ones in people’s mouths.2.2.2 From Film and Variety Show

In view of 2008 Chinese network catchwords issued by Google at the beginning of 2009 year, monosyllabic catchwords become eye-catching objects among people.With the hit broadcast of film Lost on Journey, 囧(sunken)originated from ancient Chinese character literally means light shining through a window while refers embarrassing or confused under the circumstance of variety shows.However, official translation issued by Google(2009)is being sunk in accordance with foreign culture because Google considers that embarrassing generally means awkward in Chinese people’s minds.With the popularity of the hit show If You Are the One, a series of catchwords闪婚(shotgun marriage),做秀(make a show)and 拜金主义(money warship)represent new hit topics on personal values towards contemporary society, family relations and individuals.For instance, Ma Nuo, a player of the hit shows If You Are the One once said ‘I would rather cry in the BMW, than smile in the bicycle’.Thought this material girl was well-known by us, how many other worldly girls are there in current society?

2.3 From Foreign Words

Foreign words play a vital role in the formation of network catchwords to some extent of

which English accounts for large part.In internet, we frequently see the new catchword 酷毙了(ultra cool)and 晒(share)appeared in entertainment programmes.In fact, both two words are originated from transliteration of English words ultra cool and share.The first word is used to express astonishing, exciting feelings about performance.While the latter word is a self-released life style to share personal resources with others including innovation, life condition, pets etc.In summation, whether from network expression, expression in industry or foreign words, the whole sources reflect the complicated and dynamic features of network catchwords.It is its unique and popular sources that attract many people’s close attention to the starting and ending of each social event.2.4 Causes of the Popularity of Network Catchwords

American scholar J.B.Pride(1971)once put forward the theory Covariation between Language and Social Structure in his book The Social Meaning of Language.When social life has gradual or sudden changes, language as a social phenomenon will necessarily change in accordance with the tempo of social life progress.Nowadays, being in a transitional period, China has corresponding and intense changes in social structure and life.By the end of 2010, the number of Chinese netizens reaches 457.3 million which leaps to the first place in the world.With the fast development of the Internet, social resources like speech privilege, acquisition right and sensibility towards social events are being redistributed.Under the strict regulation of traditional media in domestic China, the Internet is regarded as a platform on behalf of freedom of speech and grassroots culture which has a dominant role in public opinions.Moreover, Linguists hold that language expresses not only contents but also closely relates to life style, economic level and current affairs.During the period of reform and opening-up, advertisement language was being the greatest love of all among citizens.While in recent years, network catchwords become the top topic in streets and lanes.Innovation of any social behavior always motivates linguistic changes.In other words, linguistic changes are the external representation of 8

people’s social behavior.For instance, the development of network makes people actively participate into social life to express their thoughts and reach affirmative praise from other people towards their talents and innovations.In this participation society, each person has the right to give free rein to his imagination, unique thoughts.According to the table of 27th Statistical Report on Internet Development in China by China Internet Network Information Center in 19 January, 2011, the age span of Chinese netizens from 10 to 39 takes up 81.9 percent in 2009;80.5% in 2010 compared with the whole ages.Concerning academic degree and educational background of the netizen group, there are large numbers of student netizens holding a college or equivalent degree in China.Filled with agile minds and special pursuits for fashion and innovation, these youngsters spare free time in virtual world without bearing heavy burden on realistic life.Undoubtedly, they provide themselves with private spaces for exerting talents and abilities.Once social events appear in all kinds of media, netizen groups will actively express their personal judgment in the first time in order to amuse themselves or audiences.From the viewpoint of our country, public opinions play a good supervisory role in public affairs;as for audiences themselves, their reflections on social events seem to be like a flavoring of releasing stress of work and life, family friction and interpersonal relationship.Nowadays, network catchwords become fashionable for a time of which each one has an affair happened behind the scene.As for the network catchwords 范跑跑(Running Fan), it emerged in response to Fan Meizhong’s escape from classroom regardless of any student when Wenchuan earthquake happened in May,12,2008.Later, he issued a post named the moment the earth was moving and said ‘at the moment between life and death, I may care sacrificing myself only for my daughter.Other people even like my mother;I would ignore them in that case.’ His escape behavior and outrage speech cause hot topic among netizens and then they give him a nickname running Fan.On one hand, this popular catchword wakens Chinese people the loss of teachers’ virtue in current society.On the other hand, it also reflects collective concern and fierce

response of Chinese netizens towards this event.Another network catchword 我爸是李刚(My father is Li Gang)refers to the event a 22-year-old student of HeBei University named Li Qiming, who was intoxicated, tried to speed away after a Volkswagen sedan he drove raced down a narrow lane and struck two students named Chen Xiaofeng and Zhang Jingjing head-on.Security guards intercepted him, but he was undeterred.He warned them, my father is Li Gang(the deputy police chief in the Beishi district of Baoding).Thus, the transparence of social events not only motivates people’s communication enthusiasms for thoughts, beliefs and participation but also make more netizens actively express their attitudes and judgments towards society events.Accordingly, network catchwords as recorder of social history are closely connected with realistic society in which netizens reveal their genuine attitudes towards thinking, grievances or enjoyment in society.Though being different from rigorous and complete language of traditional mass media, network catchwords always simply arouse public concentrated feelings through netizens’ opinions on top issues.Consequently, in current multicultural society, the appearance of network media provides audiences golden opportunities with new things, rich minds and fashionable life style.At the same time, the transparency of social events and people’s great concern on current affairs both motivate the popularity of network catchwords.本科毕业论文

Chapter 3 Features of Network Catchwords

Network is just like an open square towards people while anonymity breaks the bound of authority and reverse relations between center and edge.In the network stage, grassroots netizens attain unprecedented freedom of expression, which leads to depressed netizens roaring out special language to audiences.Network catchwords are just special language to some extent.Thus, most netizens regard the popularity of network catchwords as success of common people.On all accounts, network catchwords are the conventional product of social collective thoughts while containing love-hate sentiments and value judgments on social events.Why do so many people like such kind of language style? For many netizens, using network catchwords not only show their close concern on social events but also save their time to reach economic effects due to its popularity and periodic features.Of network catchwords itself, it perfectly combines advantages between linguistic inheritance and linguistic innovation to form this unique language style.3.1 Combination of Linguistic Inheritance and Innovation

The advancement and development of any language firstly can not depart from linguistic transmission and inheritance.Undoubtedly, network catchwords originate from realistic society.Thus, formations of network catchwords like monosyllable, compounding of lexis and sentence are similar to spoken language or written language in ordinary life.Moreover, innovation includes three features new, unusual and queer.New mostly refers to spoken expressions based on distinctive feature and condition of current life.For instance,富二代(second rich generation)originally appeared from an entertainment programme refers to these rich children who were born in the 1980s and might inherit property of hundred million.Unusual is not a special or rebelling but reflections of minds and dispositions which displays special thoughts of linguistic users.Like Chinese characters 槑(nuts)pronounced mei,the word is a variant of the word for 梅.but it also looks like a double version of the character 呆

本科毕业论文

which means stupid.So netizens have borrowed it to mean 槑 nuts.Queer partly means going against even destroying linguistic convention on the basis of arbitrariness and dynamics.Some catchwords surpass lexical collocation standard like被就业(falsification of graduates employment status)and abuse usage of linguistic arbitrariness as 歇菜(finished，dead, napoo).However, just these unconventional usages of network catchwords bring about netizen unique feelings.3.2 Economic effect

Economic principle is a fundamental one to conduct human behaviors.Usage of language as one of human behaviors also accords with the influence of economic principle.In other words, the smallest cognitive expense exchanges the biggest communication profits.American pragmatic scholar Laurence Horn(2002)holds that people are apt to choose the least words to satisfy both speakers and hearers.Formation and pragmatic aspects of network catchwords reflect both concision and condensation trait.Such as Chinese-English abbreviative words Happy(开心)一下,今天太high(兴奋)了(it is so exciting today!),你真out(落伍)了(you are behind the times).3.3 Popular and Periodic Tendencies

The essential feature of network catchwords is its popularity.Unlike these steady traditional words, some catchwords will be gradually gone out of use until accepted and recognized by citizens to become ordinary lexis.For this reason, network catchwords are dynamic phenomenon and go through the process of appearance-popular-disappearance with exception of turning into ordinary words.In view of late network catchwords found in television programme, and hot social issues by netizens, the catchword打酱油(get some soy sauce)gradually fade away with the end of influence and then is replaced by newly-appeared event magic horses are floating clouds(神马都是浮云).When netizens type Chinese characters 什么啊 by means of Sogou pinyin input method, without remembering the usage of delimiter ′, so pinyin s′m′a always turns

本科毕业论文

into s′ma(神马).Thus, magic horses(神马)become a top hit in current internet due to its humorous effect.Whereas, the word floating clouds(浮云)namely illusory or fleeting meaning nothing is worthy of being mentioned.During the national day of 2010, a post named thank you a perfect friend for bringing me a sentimental national day reminds us of these weird and thunderous words spoken by xiaoyueyue.Hence, netizen connect magic horses with floating clouds to describe her because other words are less insipid than these two words.These two catchwords give us desperate but detached feelings which represent certain mental features of social people.Of course, other catchwords also keep its consistent popularity like English abbreviation PK concerned by people in 2005.Though some local government definitely prohibiting its usage in textbooks or media, this word is still prevalent in spoken language, mass media, and advertisement.Another example Gelivable(给力)originally comes from Japanese humorous animation Journey to the West-the destination of Pilgrimage.When the four people reach tianzhu(Just have a flag marked two words tianzhu)through trials and tribulations, meanwhile, Wukong complains ungelivable, master.During the period of 2010 world cup, the word gelivable(给力)becomes all the rage for football fans and netizen.Thereby, popular and periodic features of network catchwords become a general trait accepted by netizens and linguists.3.4 Vulgarness Expression

Network as a virtual space in which netizens hide their ages, genders, identifications and social status in order to gross over their natural countenances.Without concerning about actual condition, they always speak their minds without reservation to show off so-called self-righteous attitudes.Owing to the platform in revealing gloomy sentiments, someone unscrupulously create language rubbishes to get rid of their grievances or satisfy vulgar tastes such as appearances of TMD(他妈的)/ NND(奶奶的)/ SB(傻逼).These vulgar words may penetrate into traditional media step by step even some become new favorite of mainstream press.Therefore, it is necessary for us to draw

本科毕业论文

the essence and discard the dregs from current network catchwords.Although network catchwords are prevalent among people because of its weird, special formation, some of which directly form rude even obscene linguistic phenomenon.Thus, it is necessary for us to have right judgments from the scurrilous network catchwords.Certainly, besides above-mentioned four main aspects, there are also other features of network catchwords like background trait, holding strong cultural color, usage of irony and metaphor as well as analogical devices duplicated into network.本科毕业论文

Chapter 4 Translation Methods of Network Catchwords In the informal verbal communication, network catchwords cater to popular tastes and also bring about translators a lot of troubles.In the thesis, it mainly refers to Eugene Nida’s Functional Equivalence and Formal Equivalence theory as a whole.Functional Equivalence and Formal Equivalence are two approaches to translation, of which the former attempts to convey the thought expressed in a source text(if necessary, at the expense of word order, the source text’s grammatical voice, etc.)while the latter means to render the text word-for-word(if necessary, at the expense of natural expression in the target language).The two approaches respectively represent emphasis on readability and literal fidelity to the source text.There is no sharp boundary between Functional and Formal equivalence.Broadly, the two represent a spectrum of translation approaches.Furthermore, the terms Functional Equivalence and Formal Equivalence are associated with the translator Eugene Nida, and were originally coined to describe ways of translating the Bible, but nowadays the two approaches are applicable to any translation(Wikipedia).Therefore, Nida acclaims that there are no such things as identical equivalence in translating, what one must in translating seek to do is find the closest possible equivalent.Here he identifies two basic orientations in translating based on two different types of equivalence, Functional Equivalence and Formal Equivalence theory.In specific translation skills, the thesis will contain literal translation, literal translation with interlinear notes, free translation, free translation with interlinear notes and adapted translation etc.the following translation references all originate from China Daily Website(2009/2010)and Google(2009).4.1 Literal Translation

Literal translation or direct translation is the rendering of text from one language to another word for word rather than conveying the sense of the original(Wikipedia).Spoken network catchwords always refer to new words that appeared in casual or informal circumstance used by netizens.Literal translations of catchwords always appeared in the forum and entertainment

本科毕业论文

news like狗仔队(paparazzi/ dog packs),做秀(make a show),拜金主义(money warship).For example, the network catchword狗仔队 translated as paparazzi or dog packs has a vivid which seems to be like a pack of dogs chase something at top speed.Some popular sentences are still used by netizens as follows.哥吃的不是面，是寂寞.(What I’m eating is not noodles, but solitude.)不要迷恋哥，哥只是一个传说.(Don’t be obsessed with me, I’m only a legend.)

4.2 Literal Translation with Interlinear Notes While faced with some social events on the basis of backgrounds, when translate it directly, the additional explanations of events are necessary to make foreigners understood clearly and concisely as follows.When a person in Guangzhou was asked to give his opinion of the sex scandal involving Hong Kong star Edison Chen(Chen Guanxi), the man answered, it is none of my business and I am just out to get some soy sauce.Later, this catchword implies audience’s attitudes of being worldly-wise and playing safe.Thus, the network catchword 打酱油 Get some soy sauce(it implies the meaning it is none of my business)become popular in different strata.凤凰男 Phoenix man(a man who grew up poor and in the countryside, but later moved to a big city and married a city girl.)Another case like this, Xie Yalong, the former head of the Chinese Football Association, once criticized women players, saying they have weak psoas muscles.(This is the muscle that links the trunk to the legs;it is important for motion.)However, nobody, including the players, knew where the muscle is.So the catchword叉腰肌Psoas muscle(having nothing definite in mind)takes on overnight.At the same time, one night in late October of 2010 in Baoding, China.A college student named Chen Xiaofeng was in-line skating with a friend on the grounds of Hebei University in

本科毕业论文

central China.They were gliding past the campus grocery when a Volkswagen sedan raced down a narrow lane and struck them head-on.The impact sent Ms Chen flying and broke the other woman’s leg.The 22-year-old driver named Li Qiming, who was intoxicated, tried to speed away.Security guards intercepted him, but he was undeterred.He warned them, ‘My father is Li Gang!’ Later, the network catchword我爸是李刚 My father is Li Gang(it implies morbid psychology of the second officer generation)represents us the genuine psychology of some contemporary adolescents.4.3 Free Translation

Free translation is applied when there is conflict between the source language meaning and the form of target language expression, that is to say, when the language form in the target language can not faithfully convey the meaning that is expressed in the corresponding target language form.In this case, meaning is the first choice.The translator has to give up the original language form and try to keep the meaning instead.Free translation does not mean that the translator can ignore the source text;it only means that the surface structure of the source text is not completely rendered while the deep structure is faithfully reproduced.Free translations always apply to these words when netizens conclude specialized name after reading representative articles such as 闪婚(shotgun marriage),山寨(copycatting),哈证族(certificate maniac).For instance, the word 闪婚 literally gives us a shock feeling of quick marriage as startled as a clap of thunder.So the translation version shotgun marriage just conforms to the charm of source language.Other spoken catchwords originally come from dialect language then become popular in society.For example, Northeastern catchwords 得瑟 was also prevalent along with television play Country love meaning rampant, aggressive or arrogant.妥了(something is ok / done)from television named Happiness of the eldest among siblings is also frequently quoted by netizens.In order to save time and improve efficiency, many monosyllabic catchwords appear to suit 17

本科毕业论文

audience tastes as follows.在这里碰到他，雷！(It is embarrassing to meet him here!)可真够雷人的！(It is so stunning!)你女友的身材简直酷毙了！(How slim your girlfriend’s figure is!)人在囧途(Lost on journey)囧事(Embarrassing things)Some network popular sentences have vivid meanings and regional differences.Due to the cultural differences, there might be existing semantic vacancies, namely, Chinese cultural connotations have not corresponding elements in English language.Under this circumstance, translation materials should satisfy foreign culture and psychology.Such as,(R represents right, W represents wrong)不差钱！R: Money is not a big deal / problem!W: there is no lack of money!人情债，我肉偿了！R: I have paid the debt of gratitude by selling my self!

W: I have paid the debt of gratitude with my flesh!

晒工资 R:

Wages online exposure

W:

Shine one’s wages

4.4 Free Translation with Interlinear Notes

During a CCTV interview about a new Internet censorship regulation, a girl said that an uncensored web page once popped up on her computer.She called it ‘very pornographic, very violent’.Some believe the girl was told to say it by CCTV, so it is now used to mock the way the network covers news.So the word很黄很暴力 very pornographic, very violent(it implies some

本科毕业论文

websites’ unrestricted regulations on many pornographic pictures)reflect the falsification coverage of some websites on unhealthy web pages.做人不能太CNN do not be too CNN(It emerged in response to foreign media’s falsification of Tibet happenings even the commentator Jack Cafferty’s rude talk of china to express how to keep one’s integrity towards some falsification events).In this translation version, 做人 could not be given priority to the translation of to conduct yourself, to behave.In western countries, people stress on done or undone in the influence of democracy and freedom.For this reason, do not be too CNN is much better for foreigners’ psychology.4.5 Affixation Method

Nominal catchwords always add to an affixation to state its meaning by use of suffix and prefix.××族(adding a suffix –ers）

刷卡族(card-users), 工薪族(wage-earners)×奴(adding a suffix word slave)房奴(mortgage slave), 婚奴(wedding slave)While 巨搞(spoof), 卧槽族(job-hugging clan)is exception without adding to affixation mega-and –ers.4.6 Adapted Translations of Sentences

Some network catchwords are formed in the way of imitation, analogy, pun or conferring traditional words to new meanings, unconventional word-making to receive humorous and ridicule effect.In order to reach this effect, adapted translation skills are good for keeping functional equivalence.人生就像茶几，上面摆满了杯具(Tableware is to the table what tragedy is to life).In

本科毕业论文

Chinese character, 悲剧(tragedy)is the homonym of 杯具(tableware).So, corresponding translation is fit for delicate touch of pun usage

被就业(Bei jiuye, which is impossible to translate.Literally, is be hired, but it really means be hired without one’s knowing).This is a passive structure and also an unconventional phrase.The word 被 implies a black humor to express unavoidable obsession upon some social phenomenon.Due to the complicated and dynamic features of network catchwords, it is difficulty for many translators to have identically accurate English translation versions of Chinese network catchwords.As for the translations of network catchwords of this type, acquainting with foreign cultures and target language expressions plays a key role in the translation equivalence between the source text and the target language.本科毕业论文

Chapter 5 Conclusion After previous discuss on the thesis, it will have a conclusion of the whole paper.The thesis starts with an introduction to background information of catchword and network catchword, of which their relationship and difference have been displayed clear for us.The second part firstly introduces the sources of network catchwords mainly from network expression, expression in industry and foreign words.With the appearance of network, people gradually indulge in their opinions on social events.It is the concerned thoughts of netizens from transparency of social events that stimulate the popularity of network catchwords.After the detailed analysis of its sources and causes, people begin to pay more attention to features of network catchwords.Thus, on one hand, the formation of network catchwords is a combination of linguistic inheritance and innovation to some extent.On the other hand, because of its concision, humor, popularity and periodicity features, the usage of network catchwords save most time for audiences but abuse formations also bring about vulgar linguistic phenomenon.By way of detailed and vivid introductions of three previous chapters, the English translations versions of Chinese network catchwords will be represented under the guidance of Nida’s Functional Equivalence theory.In specific conditions, the thesis will contain literal translation, literal translation with interlinear notes, free translation, free translation with interlinear notes and adapted translation etc.The famous translator Eugene Nida sets forth the differences in translation, as he accounts for it, within three basic factors.(1)The nature of the message.In some messages, the content is of primary consideration and in others the form must be given a higher priority.(2)The purpose of the author and of the translator.To give information on both form and content;to aim at full intelligibility of the reader so he/she may understand the full implications of the message;for imperative purposes that aim at not just understanding the translation but also at ensuring no misunderstanding of the translation.(3)The type of audiences.Prospective audiences differ both in decoding ability and in potential interest(Wikipedia).As far as I am concerned, based on its 21

本科毕业论文

detail causes, sources and features, the English translations of Chinese network catchwords should not only take cultural differences between natives and foreigners into account, but also need finding corresponding or appropriate target-language versions with the accurate grasp of foreign cultures.As long as conforming to reflections of target-people, it might be appearing much better translation versions.Due to its complicated and dynamic features, there are all kinds of network catchwords in different category.What is more, for current linguists, they mainly have given priority to the research on the definition, formation of network catchwords.In view of academic blank in this aspect, the thesis will have a brief discuss on translation methods to find corresponding English versions of Chinese network catchwords according to the four previous aspects.Owing to the lack of relating translation materials, please oblige me with your valuable comments and criticism.At last, I thank all of you for giving me your generous helps and enormous enthusiasms to motivate me complete the thesis.本科毕业论文
