基于CiteSpace对2014~2024年中国博物馆展品英译的可视化分析

A Visualized Analysis of the English Translation of Museum Exhibits in China (2014~2024) Based on CiteSpace

摘要: 博物馆承载着丰富的历史文化信息，为对外传播的重要载体。为系统梳理当前中国博物馆研究现状，本研究以中国知网收录的2014~2024年间297篇博物馆英译相关文献为基础，综合运用CiteSpace知识图谱与Python语义分析工具，从博物馆地理分布、研究对象分类与关键词共现三个维度开展可视化分析。研究表明：(1) 研究场馆呈现“大馆主导、东部集聚”的空间特征。(2) 研究热点主要为翻译所采用的理论、策略及文本结构。(3) 研究对象分类缺乏统一标准。总体来看，当前博物馆英译研究在区域平衡与对象界定方面仍有提升空间。

Abstract: Museums serve as important carriers of rich historical and cultural information and function as key platforms for international communication. In order to systematically review the current state of research on museum translation in China, this study is based on 297 publications related to museum English translation indexed in the China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) database from 2014 to 2024. By integrating CiteSpace knowledge mapping and Python-based semantic analysis tools, a visual analysis is conducted from three dimensions: geographical distribution of museums, classification of research objects, and keyword co-occurrence. The findings indicate that: (1) the distribution of studied museums exhibits characteristics of “dominance by major institutions and concentration in eastern regions”; (2) research hotspots mainly focus on translation theories, strategies, and textual structures; and (3) the classification of research objects lacks a unified standard. Overall, current studies on museum English translation in China still have room for improvement in terms of regional balance and the definition of research objects.
