Words Between English and Chinese
Abstract

Great differences exist in the two languages in spite of the universality of human languages. Hence, there arises the problem of dealing with the onomatopoeic words in rendering literary works. To a degree, onomatopoeic words have a direct effect upon the quality of the versions. Therefore, aiming at a good translation, we must consider seriously how to represent the content with musical and dynamic senses of the original. Only in this way can we ensure the readers, in their reading of the versions, to get an approximately similar feeling as they do to the original. Thus the similarity between the original and the version can be gained. For this reason, the thesis explores the English and Chinese onomatopoeias and their translations from the aspects of phonetics, grammar and rhetoric. From the constituent, classification, expression function and translation, the thesis carefully selects examples from the masterpieces of the renowned writers in English and Chinese literary history, and makes a rough comparison of the onomatopoeias in English and Chinese, aiming at offer some help with English and Chinese teaching and translation.
