A Study of Cultural Function Equivalence in C-E Translation of Public signs: a Perspective of Bassnett's Cultural Translation Theory

Shuang Zhang

.... Another typical case is the symbolic meaning of "龙" in Chinese culture and western culture. "龙" in China is considered as a lucky fetish representing prosperity, nobility and glory, and Chinese people claim to be the descendants of "龙". While in western culture, the equivalent English word "dragon" symbolizes an evil creature, which can bring damage to people's life. As to the translation of public signs "龙", the translator can consider using "Loong" to replace "dragon", since "Loong" has been well accepted by English speakers as the Chinese version of "dragon", which is totally different from English "dragon", the translation will not cause some negative effect in cross-cultural communication.
