Abstract

Vulgar language in the translation industry has long been the cold. However, the vulgar language as the the cultural load word has important significance. With the cultural turn in translation, vulgar language gradually attracted the attention of scholars. This paper first introduces the concept of vulgar language, expounded the the cultural vacancy caused by the difference in West's vulgar language between individual characteristics and their, and on this basis, according to the vulgar language and cultural vacancy rate will be divided into three categories: zero vacancies, some vacancies, completely vacant. This paper attempts to address these different classification, \results, a combination of qualitative and quantitative analysis of two translation translation home, an effective strategy of vulgar language interpreters in the context of global cultural diversity. With the increasingly frequent cross-cultural communication, cultural heterogeneity and the need for cultural exchange determines translation the language cultural hybridity and translation strategies heterozygous inevitability. In this paper, the classification of \Heterozygous both maximize the combination makes naturalization alienation advantage circumvent both shortcomings; only promote the culture of the target language to understand and absorb different cultures, while still retaining a more heterogeneous culture and language to promote different cultures and enrich the culture of the target language. Heterozygous played a positive role in the exchange and dissemination of cultural equality. This article is still in the comparative analysis of the process of discovery two famous translation use naturalization alienation strategy, but Pearl S. Buck prefer alienation strategies, and thus the overall heterozygosity translation above the sand translation. Specifically, for zero vacancy class vulgar language, this type of vulgar language almost without culture vacancies cultural commonality makes two translators have taken the literal translation based translation, but Pearl Buck higher proportion of literal translation. The two translators translate strategy For some vacancies class vulgar language, different tendencies. Pearl S. Buck alienation mainly supplemented by naturalization, and make every effort to retain the original form and meaning of language features and cultural connotations, the Sidney Shapiro naturalization alienation more balanced, its translation is also closer to the target language. This type of vulgar language of the English translation of the highest heterozygosity. Completely vacant class vulgar language is difficult to find the corresponding expression in English, two famous application for naturalization policy and alienation try based on the original text both for English readers understand, but also try to spread Chinese culture. All in all, in the trend of globalization, vulgar language as a special component of the culture, its translation heterozygous is inevitable. The heterozygous naturalized alienation is more effective translation strategy is also more conducive to the exchange and dissemination of different cultural equality.
