翻译过程中,语境分析是达至正确理解的关键一环。作为语言分析的一个分支,语境分析包括彼此不同但又相互联系的两个方面:一是语言内部的上下文分析;二是话语与经验世界关系的分析。本文将以一常用语气词“Well”为例,试图凸现语境分析在翻译过程中的重要意义。 In the process of translation, context analysis is the key to achieving correct understanding. As a branch of language analysis, context analysis includes two aspects that are different from each other but are related to each other: First, the contextual analysis within the language; second, the analysis of the relationship between discourse and the empirical world. This article will use the common modal particle “Well” as an example to try to highlight the significance of contextual analysis in translation.
