摘要
现代汉语中有着成百上千个源自英语的外来词,其中音译词就占了相当的比例。自汉语和英语两种语言开始接触以来,来自英语的音译词便逐渐为汉语所吸收,在经历一段时间的使用后成为现代汉语词汇中的一员。晚清期间出版的英汉词典作为早期记载语言接触的工具书,收录了不少音译词。本文以早期英汉词典中的音译词为研究对象,主要从属性分类和译名演变方面展开论述,以呈现出汉语中最早一批音译词的真实面貌。
The vocabulary of modern Chinese now boasts of hundreds of loanwords from the English language,among which transliterations account for a large percentage.Since the beginning of the contact between the Chinese language and the English language,the former began to borrow words from the latter and as a very handy technique,transliteration was used to provide Chinese equivalents for English borrowings that were mostly culture-specific words.English-Chinese dictionaries published in the late Qing Dynasty,the first batch in English-Chinese lexicography,recorded what happened after such language contact,as is attested by the inclusion of many transliterations therein.Based on a preliminary study on such transliterated words,mainly from two perspectives—taxonomy and evolution,this paper attempts to present a rough picture of the earliest group of transliterations originating from English.
