Cognitive Comparison and Study on English and Chinese Numerical Words
Abstract: This paper first explores the definition of culture, relationship of language and culture, and numbers and cultural connotations. It then makes a cognitive comparison and study on English and Chinese numerical words in the aspect of metaphor, expression method, expressive meaning and lexical gap in the process of translation and describes the relative cultural connotations and the national cultural psychologies. Due to these comparisons, this paper holds the opinion that English and Chinese have two similarities and two differences in the use of numerical words. In addition, because of the importance of translation in cross-cultural communications, we put forward three specific translation strategies for the usage of numerical words.
Key words: numerical words; cultural connotations; national cultural psychologies
