IDEAS ABOUT ACHIEVING SUCCESS IN CHINESE PHRASEOLOGICAL UNITS AND PECULIARITIES OF THEIR TRANSLATION INTO RUSSIAN

Abstract

The objective of the work is an experimental examination of the ways of translating Chinese phraseological units into Russian by Chinese students. After analyzing the different types of translation of phraseological units united by the theme of success, the researchers consider factors that influence the appeal to different types of translation, among which there are allegorical, figurative and equivalent types. The study shows that allegorical and figurative variants of stable expressions dedicated to success, in most cases, are quite clearly divided into two groups, occupying approximately the same amount of the total number of translations carried out by the participants of the experiment. The selection of an equivalent to Chinese phraseological units in Russian phraseology is carried out if there are bright images in the phraseological units, the recognition of which is universal. The greatest discrepancies are caused by the translation of phraseological units containing small and narrow realities that do not find responses in other linguistic cultures. Thus, the ratio of allegorical, figurative and equivalent types used in the translation of a stable expression strongly reacts to the recognizability and linguoculturological universality of a particular image contained in phraseology.
