英汉两种语言文化中礼貌准则和内涵有许多相同之处,但在实际运用中,中西方在各自的“礼貌原则”的支配下出现了较大差异。作为跨文化交际的中介,翻译必须注意语言礼貌的文化适用性,尽可能做到源文本和目标文本在礼貌效果方面的语用对等。 There are many similarities and differences in the politeness standards and connotations between English and Chinese cultures. However, in actual application, there is a great difference between China and the West under the control of their respective “politeness principles.” As an intermediary of intercultural communication, translators must pay attention to the cultural applicability of verbal politeness and pragmatically equal the politeness effect of the source text and the target text as far as possible.
