[交流] 【英语茶座01】搭配恰当是英文地道的前提——从“渗透”与infiltrate说起

昨天一整天都忙于本科毕业论文的答辩工作。很累,倒是对一篇本科论文的标题很感兴趣。汉语标题里含有“渗透文化知识”的字眼,英文标题里却相应地翻译成了“Infiltrating Cultural Knowledge”。看后,我大为惊奇:竟有这样的搭配。我遂发问,你知道infiltrate一词的含义吗?他解释道,是指导老师改的。

哈哈,这对师生全错啦。只要稍微抬手翻一下词典,就可探得infiltrate一词的究竟。查询dictionary.cambridge.org网站,即可得到如下解释:

1) to secretly become part of a group in order to get information or to influence the way that group thinks or behaves:
A journalist managed to infiltrate the powerful drug cartel.

2)to move slowly into a substance, place, system or organization:
At about this time the new ideas about 'corporate management' had begun to infiltrate (into) local government.

第一个义项显然是“使(思想、人员等)渗透”的意思,往往含有贬义,与中文中的“卧底”很像。第二个义项则是“使(液体等)透过,渗入”的意思,或者是“蔓延”之意。由此可见,“渗透文化知识”翻译为“infiltrating cultural knowledge”实在不妥。我们从中可以掂量搭配恰当的重要性和勤翻词典的必要性。

【思考题】

1.1 knowledge能跟learn这一动词搭配吗?若能,请从英文网站上给出实例。若不能,请列举可用的动词。

1.2 请寻找一部质量可靠的在线词典,查询permeate的含义,并注意permeate和infiltrate的异同。

一看就知道楼主对英语很有研究!

我的一点拙见:
infiltrate一词可用于经济渗透和文化渗透,如economic infiltration和Cultural infiltration。
但是不知道本科生的论文题目”渗透文化知识”是想谈什么?
再说题目不应该用infiltrate这种动词形式,要用也应该是这种形式:
“Infiltration of Cultural Knowledge"

infiltrate从构词上看是in+filter,其意思是 move in gradually, secretly become part of , 就是逐渐而隐蔽的渗透
permeate从构词上看是per+mei,per=all,mei=pass,其意思是pass through every part of,就是完全的渗透
二者都是动词,都既可以用于实物的渗透,如:水和进入阵地,也可以用于抽象的渗透,如思想和文化等!

Longman Dictionary of Contemporary English对infiltrate和permeate的解释分别如下:

==============================
per‧me‧ate

2 [transitive] if ideas, beliefs, emotions etc permeate something, they are present in every part of it

大家别看英汉词典或双解词典,自己看看能不能拿出汉语中的对应词(equivalent)?

谢谢wengzh2003兄和liubird斑竹参与。

本科生的论文题目原文,我忘记了。大致是“浅谈在高中英语课堂里如何渗透文化知识”。相应的英文题目大致有“Infiltrating Cultural Knowledge"的字眼。

都怪我开始没讲清楚,害得liubird斑竹多费了不必要的思量。
