英汉基本颜色词的文化内涵对比研究

摘要在人类语言中，表示各种不同色彩的词很丰富，而基本颜色词则是不同颜色范畴的典型代表，因为它们能将该范畴最好地表现出来。颜色词，作为语言词汇系统中一个特殊的分类，有着它显著的特征和历史传承。中西文化中的颜色词都是被赋予了不同的情感和文化象征。众所周知，由于东西文化差异，英汉文化交流出现的误解在所难免，因此对比研究英汉基本颜色词文化内涵的异同对跨文化交际，翻译以及教学中有关颜色词的理解大有裨益。本文主要分析探讨了英汉两种语言中四个基本颜色词的文化内涵差异，进而挖掘和分析造成词义内涵差异的文化成因。我们不仅要了解它们本身的基本意义，更要深刻地理解其深远的象征意义。23643

Abstract
Color words are very rich in human language. And basic color terms are the prototypes in different color categories for they can show the color of their own category at its best. Color words, as a special classification in the language vocabulary system, have striking characteristics and historical inheritance. The Chinese and western culture color words are endowed with different emotional and cultural symbol. As we all know, there’s no doubt that some misunderstandings can’t be avoided in cross-culture communication for the discrepancies .As a result, the cultural contrastive study on basic color terms will expectedly benefit cross-cultural communication, translation and English teaching a lot. The paper chooses four basic color terms to make a comparative analysis of cultural connotations of basic color terms in English and Chinese, and further confirms that connotations of color terms embody culture. We should not only know the basic meaning of their own, but should profoundly understand its deep symbolic significance.
