2022年6月英语四级翻译:各种款式的汉服
汉服(Hanfu), 指汉族传统的民族服饰。一般认为是在1840年之前汉族人们所穿的服饰。
我们在用英语介绍汉服的时候,可以直接用它的拼音,Hanfu,在介绍具体款式和特有结构时,也是比较推荐用汉语拼音称呼,再用已有的英文词汇简单地描述一下具体特征。
这样就能避免单用英文词不达意,单用拼音一头雾水的情况。
比如,汉服,可以直接用Hanfu来称呼,然后再用Traditional clothing/ dress of Han
Chinese来描述它是汉族传统的民族服饰。
一套汉服一般是由一些单品组成的,在介绍的时候我们可以这样说:
Yi (衣): Any open cross-collar garment, and worn by both sexes
Pao (袍): Any closed full-body garment, worn only by men in Hanfu
Ru (襦): Open cross-collar shirt
Shan (衫): Open cross-collar shirt or jacket that is worn over the Yi
Qun (裙) or Chang (裳): Skirt for women and men
Ku (裤): Trousers or pants
在介绍汉服的款式时,也是推荐使用拼音直译专有名称+英文现有概念描述主要特征,比如:
Quju(曲裾):“Ju” refers to a part of clothing; “Qu (curly)” and “Zhi
(straight)” refer to the shapes. Therefore, Quju and Zhiju are two possible
shapes of one part of clothing.
Ruqun(襦裙):Ruqun is a set of clothes,including the Ru(outwear) and the
Qun(skirt).
