本文认为翻译的理论、规律,都与对比语言学有着密切关系。阐述了对比语言学对翻译的有效性的关联,以及翻译研究中语言对比与文化对比之间的依从关系。认为在英汉翻译研究中,语言对比和文化对比研究是翻译研究的依据,文化对比研究必须建立在语言对比研究的基础上。 This paper argues that the theories and laws of translation are closely related to comparative linguistics. The relationship between contrastive linguistics and the validity of translation is expounded, as well as the dependence between linguistic contrast and cultural contrast in translation studies. In the study of English-Chinese translation, the comparative study of language and culture is the basis of translation studies. The study of cultural contrast must be based on the comparative study of languages.
