跨文明视域下的情感话语融合——西式情绪术语的汉译策略与认知本土化调试研究

Integration of Emotional Discourse from a Cross-Civilizational Perspective—Translation Strategies of Western Emotional Terms and Cognitive Localization Adaptation

摘要: 西式情绪术语正大规模涌入当代汉语公共话语。这一现象丰富了情感表达方式，却也因中西情感文明的结构性差异，面临语义失真、认知错位等跨语传播困境。本文立足情感文明理论、认知本土化理论与文化调适翻译观，系统考察共情、松弛感、情绪稳定、情绪自由、精神内耗等典型案例的汉译路径与本土化改造实践。研究发现，西式情绪术语的跨文明落地并非机械的语义替换，而是依托翻译完成的认知迁移与文化重构过程。据此，本文归纳的四类递进式转译策略——语义细化(以新词填补本土情绪空白)、语境归化(以场景适配消解文化隔阂)、文化中和(以价值调和化解文明冲突)、认知增补(以科普普及建构本土认知框架)——在调和西式个体化情绪概念与中式关系化情感逻辑之间发挥了关键的建构作用。本研究揭示了翻译在情感文明互鉴与本土认知升级中的双重价值，为跨文化情感话语的本土化传播提供了可资参照的理论框架与实践路径。

Abstract: Western emotional terms are flooding into the public discourse of contemporary Chinese language. While enriching the repertoires of affective expression, this phenomenon encounters cross linguistic communication dilemmas such as semantic distortion and cognitive misalignment due to structural disparities between Chinese and Western affective civilizations. Drawing on Affective Civilization Theory, Cognitive Localization Theory, and the Cultural Acclimation View of Translation, this paper systematically investigates the Chinese translation pathways and indigenization transformation practices of typical cases including empathy, relaxed vibe, emotional stability, emotional freedom, and mental friction. The study reveals that the Cross Civilizational localization of Western emotional terms is not a mechanical semantic re-placement, but a process of cognitive transfer and cultural reconstruction realized through translation. Accordingly, four progressive translational strategies are generalized: semantic specification (filling gaps in indigenous emotional lexis with neologisms), contextual domestication (eliminating cultural barriers via scenario adaptation), cultural neutralization (resolving civilizational conflicts through value reconciliation), and cognitive supplementation (constructing indigenous cognitive frameworks by means of popular science dissemination). These strategies exert a key constructive function in reconciling Western individualistic emotional concepts with Chinese relation oriented affective logics. This research uncovers translation’s dual value in affective civilizational mutual learning and indigenous cognitive upgrading, and provides referable theoretical frameworks and practical pathways for the localized communication of cross cultural emotional discourse.
