中国人认为龙会带来繁荣和好运,而西方人并不认同这点。在圣经里,龙是邪恶势力的代表,并经常给世界捣乱。《21世纪中学生英文报》编辑乔纳森 哈根说: 西方人通常将龙视为和蛇一样的冷血爬虫。他们是残忍的杀人魔鬼,能够喷火,还掠取妇女 竹他还补充说,龙有叉形的舌头,所以人们认为龙不诚实。
More often than not, dragons in Western literature are presented as monsters against which the hero must battle. It is a common tale for a mediaeval knight to kill a dragon and save a princess and her country from its evil. Even the popular boy wizard Harry Potter has to battle a deadly dragon and get back a golden egg from its nest in llarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire ,
在很多情况下,西方文学把龙描写成为英雄要铲除的怪物。一个司空见惯的传说是,一位中世纪的骑士杀死了龙,拯救了公主和她的国家。甚至在著名的小说《哈里波特和火焰杯》里,小巫师哈里 波特也要打败一条凶恶的龙,以从它的巢穴里抢回金蛋。
So, some Chinese experts have suggested changing the English translation of dragon to Loong . They believe the misunderstanding of the dragon is due to the translation.
所以,有些中国专家建议将龙的英文翻译 dragon 改为 Loong 他们认为,西方关于中国龙的种种误解都是由于翻译错位产生的。
