英汉语言中动物词语的联想意义 On the Association of Animal Words in English and Chinese Abstract: The cultural meaning of animal words reflects the culture of a nation from a perspective, and the different cultural meanings of animal words in English and Chinese languages reflect the similarities and differences between these two cultures. Some reasons account for this phenomena, such as different cultural background, different customs, different ways of thinking, ect. So, in my paper I will expound the phenomena from four aspects. The first is the same animal words with the same or similar associative meanings in English and Chinese. The second is the same animal words with different associative meanings in English and Chinese. The third one is the different animal words with similar associative meanings in English and Chinese. The last is one animal word has rich associative meanings in one language but has no associative meanings in the other languages. With the development of our society, the globalization is becoming an unavoidable tendency, and human beings contact with each other more and more frequently. This explains the necessity to understand not only our own culture but other cultures to facilitate the cross-cultural communication. Moreover, the animal words play an important role in the culture, so it is necessary for us to understand the associative meanings of animal words so as not to make mistakes. Key words: animal words, associative meanings, intercultural communication 摘　要：动物词汇的文化意义从一个角度反映了一个民族的文化，英汉语言中动物词汇的不同文化含义反映出英汉文化的异同。这些不同点的存在有很多原因，比如：不同的文化背景，不同的习俗，不同的思维方式等等。因此，在我的论文中，我会从四个方面谈这些不同点。第一个是相同的动物词汇在英汉语言中会产生相同或相似的联想意义。第二个是相同的动物词汇在英汉语言中会产生不同的联想意义。第三个是不同的动物词汇在英汉语言会产生相同或相似的联想意义。最后一个就是一种动物词汇在一种语言中有丰富的联想意义，而在另一种语言中却没有相应的联想意义。随着社会的发展，全球化已为大势所趋，人们之间的交流越来越频繁。为了适应世界的发展，我们不仅要知道我们自己的文化，而且要了解其他国家的文化。另外，动物词汇在语言文化中扮演了重要的角色。所以，为了在跨文化交际中避免犯错误，了解动物词汇的联想意义对我们来说是很有必要的。 关键词：动物词汇，联想意义，跨文化交际 Contents I.
