摘要：顏色是一種自然現(xiàn)象，附著在各種事物中，使得大千世界五彩繽紛，充滿了各種各樣絢麗的色彩。英漢兩種語(yǔ)言中都存在著大量表示顏色的詞匯，如黑、白、紅等。由于人類文化共性的作用，以及文化相互滲透、趨同的影響，不同民族常常會(huì)賦予某一種顏色以相同的象征意義。
 然而，盡管人們對(duì)各種顏色的認(rèn)識(shí)大體上是一致的，但由于各民族之間的地理?xiàng)l件、歷史傳統(tǒng)、宗教信仰、文化風(fēng)俗、思維習(xí)慣、民族心理等文化背景以及語(yǔ)言表達(dá)方式等方面的差異，各種顏色對(duì)于不同民族在心理上所引發(fā)的聯(lián)想意義、象征意義、蘊(yùn)含寓意卻不盡相同，因此在長(zhǎng)期的歷史沉淀中形成了各自獨(dú)特的顏色觀，反映出豐富的文化內(nèi)涵，折射出絢麗多彩的民族文化。
 因此，英漢顏色詞在兩種語(yǔ)言中的意義既有相同和相似之處，也存在著很多差異。在分析差異產(chǎn)生的原因上，提出克服差異所產(chǎn)生的障礙，對(duì)順利進(jìn)行跨文化交際和英漢雙語(yǔ)翻譯都有一定的指導(dǎo)意義．
 本文將通過相當(dāng)數(shù)量的顏色詞的翻譯實(shí)例，通過對(duì)英漢基本顏色詞的文化內(nèi)涵的比較，探討顏色詞翻譯的一般規(guī)律并總結(jié)幾種譯法，闡述深入了解顏色詞的文化內(nèi)涵在翻譯實(shí)踐中的重要性，強(qiáng)調(diào)在學(xué)習(xí)英語(yǔ)的過程中適當(dāng)了解不同顏色詞在英漢兩種語(yǔ)言中的文化背景、風(fēng)俗習(xí)慣和歷史地理背景，對(duì)旨在促進(jìn)跨文化交際的順利進(jìn)行有重大的促進(jìn)作用。
