Abstract:

Proverb is a word that is often used by people in ancient times until now and is a part of Chinese culture. Proverbs have many elements, namely animals, plants, the human body, numbers, colors, flavors and other elements. Mandarin proverbs are often used by old people in general and become part of their lives. Until now, proverbs are often used in people's lives, both in learning and in daily conversation.However, young people today rarely know about proverbs and use proverbs in their lives. Therefore, the writer chose mandarin proverbs as the object of research. The writer analyzes the meanin

This paper explores the characteristics, similarities and differences between Chinese EFL students and AI when translating English idioms into Chinese. Based on the data collected from the questionnaire on English idioms in English-Chinese translation by Chinese EFL students and AIs, the distribution of human and AI translation accuracies and the focus of translation were analysed using the stereotyped heterogeneous ratio. The results of the survey showed these points: the overall accuracy of translations of Chinese EFL students is lower than that of AI, and the distribution of human translati

Abstract:

The current study investigates the similarities and differences between ‘equivalent’ proverbs in English and Chinese. It integrates natural semantic metalanguage (NSM) into a semantic and pragmatic analysis to explain differences in proverbs as cultural linguistic artifacts. In this study, NSM has enabled the cultural meanings behind the artifacts to be brought into stark contrast for careful qualitative discourse analysis. The findings of the study indicate that it is not only worthwhile but also practical to carefully examine English and Chinese proverb pairs, as their respective meanings ma

Abstract:

The overall research review on English-Chinese contrastive studies suggests there has been an extensive description of the distinction between Chinese and Western thinking patterns in the absence of extra demonstrations. Therefore, it is found necessary to carry out a delicate study on reflections of Chinese and Western thought pattern differences in light of the E-C idioms. In this study, two kinds of thinking patterns are contrasted from the following three aspects: concrete and abstract thoughts, subjective and objective thoughts, as well as synthetic and analytical thoughts, via the explan

Abstract:

The article researches the specifics of how personal proper names function in the Russian and the Chinese paroemia genres. Proverbs and sayings are traditionally considered paroemia because they represent a collective evaluation of various situations of life. The idioms that express a position of evaluation towards the current events are not included in the category of paroemiological units, for their components have lost their lexical meaning and acquired a high degree of reinterpretation. The article uncovers the types and the forms of the personal name that perform different functions in th

<p>The phraseology is part of the linguistic studies on phrases, proverbs, idioms, proverbs and other units of syntax totally or partially fixed. It is the reflection of a certain tradition and idiosyncrasy of society. The native speaker recognizes the phraseological units in the praxis of speech without difficulty. However, because of their idiomaticity and the sociocultural divergence between two linguistic communities, Spanish sayings and expressions cannot always be understood by the Chinese speakers. Students of Spanish as a foreign language have difficulty recognizing the non-liter

The research identifies six key themes: Malta as a distant or unreachable place, a non-existent location, a symbol of religious devotion, a representation of importunate behaviour, a linguistic enigma, and a symbol of resilience during har
