从颜色词中看中英文化差异

在人类语言中,颜色词语表现出的独特魅力,令人刮目相看。人类对于颜色的感觉有一定的共性，不同文化背景的人们对形象色彩的感知及审美体验大体上是相通的。但颜色词除了表示大自然绚丽色彩外，在某种程度上也会体现不同的价值观和审美观，此时颜色词已不单纯是表示颜色的指称意义了，往往蕴含着不同的联想意义。本文从英汉两民族在民族心理、历史传统、宗教信仰、生活习惯、情感色彩等方面来分析颜色词在不同文化中所存在的差异性，然后就文化差异对语言的影响做了比较详细的探讨。由于文化的不同而造成翻译与跨文化交际的障碍。因此有必要了解和研究这些差异，使我们能够改善我们的语言能力，从而让跨文化传播收获更大的成功。
