copycat英文翻译

“《中国日报》官方译法为 copycat，而有的人则认为 knockoff 更合适一点，有的外媒倒是简单，直接用 shanzhai 加上解释，比如‘山寨春晚’，直接翻译成‘shanzhai Spring Festival Gala’，……”（芮恩：进入外文字典的中文） 这段话太值得玩味了。中国人用英语意译“山寨”，而外国人却用汉语拼音音译 “山寨”。copycat 的本意是“盲目的模仿者；模仿他人动作或衣着的人”，但是中国的“山寨”者们是“盲目地模仿者”吗？他们往往是有创造性的模仿者，例如“山寨春晚”的组织者。所以，copycat 不能充分传达“山寨”这个词的深意。 在百度上检索一下，看看 shanzhai 出现在几篇英语里的上下文，我们就能够知道把“山寨”翻译成 copycat 是多么的单薄： The Chinese word "Shanzhai" literally means small mountain village, but it's now used to describe products that have names similar to famous brands or people who imitate celebrities. It became a popular name for fakes when "Shanzhai Cellphones", churned out by small-scale manufacturers in southern China, quickly seized a considerable chunk of the mainland market over the past two years. Now "Shanzhai" has been given with a broader meaning of fake, unprofessional or homemade, a slang for anything that steals ideas or styles from already well-known stuff. Shanzhai (Countryside) Spring Festival Gala 'Shanzhai': Faking it for money or fun? Copycat 里有 small mountain village 所携带的 countryside 含义吗？有 homemade 和 small-scale manufacturers 含义吗？更没有 for fun 这样的含义了。千百年来，“山寨”一词还和“起事造反”、“抗拒官府”、“打家劫舍”、“杀富济贫”有着密切的联系，“山寨”总是让人想起“水浒”那样的故事和其中的无数英雄好汉。因此，中国人说“山寨”一词时还有一种冲破了政府管制后的欢乐，有一种“大块吃肉，大碗喝酒”的痛快和豪爽，还有一种恶作剧的成分，大公司对他们无可奈何，使“山寨”者们产生了一种额外的快乐。这些都是 copycat 这样一个单词所无法也不可能传达的。由于英语中找不到一个单词能够恰当地反映“山寨”的复杂含义，于是外国人直接音译了。如果别人问他：“What is Shanzhai?”他再来对这个新词汇进行解释，也许这一解释需要两百个英文单词。但是只要学习一次，听者以后看见 shanzhai 就知道是什么意思了。
