民族文化差异
每个民族都有自己的文化.这种文化是在特定的自然环境、历史条件、地理位置和社会现实中形成的,因此具有特殊性.要掌握一种语言就要熟悉其背后的文化特殊性,就要洞察本民族文化与其他民族文化的差异.为使译文读者得到和原文读者基本相同的文化信息,在翻译中遇到两种文化的差异时,译者就要仔细在两种文化中寻找对应的表达方式,做出各种必要的转换,传递原文中真实的文化信息.
家庭的文化差异
中国人的家庭观念强,血缘关系,亲情伦理,在脑中根深蒂固,父母、子女始终一家人.哪怕成家立业,另设门户,和父母仍不分彼此,把赡养父母,侍奉父母,看作自己应尽的责任.
美国人却不同,子女一到成年,就会离巢而飞,父母不再抚养他们；而子女一旦独立,对父母家的事,也不再理会,更休想赡养父母或几代同堂了.对于中西文化的这种差异,在中国城表现得尤其明显.中国人如果一大家子来购物,父母为小孩买东西天经地义,已成年子女为父母代付钱也理所当然.常常碰到这种情形,已成年子女抢着为年迈的父母付钱,双方抢来抢去,争个半天.老外却不同,父母、子女各自理财,互不搭界.甚至有些小孩买东西,也得自掏腰包,用他们帮助父母做家事挣得的零用钱来支付.而那些已成年子女,在金钱上,和年迈的父母,同样经济分明,年迈父母从干瘪的钱囊中抖抖索索掏钱时,他们却是心安理得,丝毫不为之动容.
曾有一位大客人,住在高级白领区,是个医生,每次来都要买上几千块的东西.有一次陪纽约来的母亲来买东西.老板见是大客人,不敢怠慢,亲自接待,带他们上楼看贵重物品,好半天才下来,老板忍不住发话了,“老太太真挑剔,什么都看不上”.在楼下,老太太挑中3个总价为50美元的景泰蓝小盒子及一个等价的粉红水晶小象,她拿在掌心把玩着,爱不释手,一会说要买象,一会儿又说买盒子,再三考虑着.我心中不免嘀咕了：既然喜欢,为何不爽快买下,真是个吝啬鬼.这时,站在她旁边的儿子有些不耐烦了,对母亲说：“你只有50多块,只能买一样,等你回纽约,汇钱过来,老板会帮你寄去.”噢,我错怪老太太了,原来不是她挑剔、吝啬,而是她实在没钱.心中顿时五味杂陈：难怪美国人对于“望子成龙”、“望女成凤”的期望没有中国人这么高,这个挥金如土的医生,宁愿看母亲失望而归,也不愿为母亲尽一点孝心,付一点小钱.真是可怜天下父母心,培养出了个有钱的儿子,父母却沾不到一点光.这就是现实的美国,儿子可以是百万富翁,父母却照旧穷困潦倒,和中国人的“母以子贵”,“一人得道,合家升天”的中国传统天差地别.如今,家庭、亲情观念强的中国人来到了美利坚这块土地,中国人的传统观念及尊老爱幼的美德难免不受到美国文化的冲击,但愿生活在美国的中国人,能坚持自己的优良传统及美德,让中华文化这朵奇葩,在美国各族裔的百花园里绽开得更鲜艳,更灿烂.

A large guest,living in the area,is a doctor,every time to buy a piece of thousands.Once with New York's mother to buy things.The boss is not big,and personally,take snub reception at the valuables,they went upstairs to look down,the boss yelled,"the lady can really picky,what does not approve." Downstairs,lady marrying 3 total $50 for a small box and cloisonne equivalent pink elephant,she took the crystal in the palm,while playing with that fondle admiringly again said to buy,buy boxes,said the bedchamber.In my heart I whisper:since like unavoidable,why don't you buy,what a miser refreshed.At this moment,stood beside her son impatient,said to his mother:"you only 50 pieces,you can buy,going back to New York,remit money,the boss will help you go." Oh,lady,I blamed the fussy,she was not stingy,but she really didn't have the money.Heart suddenly emotions:no wonder americans to "expectations","look" expectations of female cheng feng so high,that no Chinese doctors prefer watching miserly mother disappointment,also not the wish for mothers do little filial piety,pay a penny.Poor parent,cultivate the son of a wealthy parents,but no light touch.This is the reality of America,the son can be millionaires,but still poor,parents and children in the "mother","one person in your ascension",a traditional Chinese very different.Nowadays,family,and affection,the strong sense of the land came to the Chinese,Chinese traditional ideas and aged respected by virtue of American culture is not the impact that living in the United States,insists his Chinese tradition and virtue,let the Chinese culture in the United States,constituted the ethnic the garden of open more bright-coloured,more splendid.
