Abstract

Abbreviations represent a substantial element in the English and Romanian word stock as well as in their shipbuilding terminologies. This paper is an analysis of the English abbreviations and their Romanian versions in an attempt to assess the availability of the latter language to shipbuilding Anglicisms. The research mainly consisted in the creation of a data bank to comprise the abbreviations that occur in English shipbuilding glossaries, dictionaries and lexicons and whose versions were included in similar Romanian lexicographic works. A first step in this project was the determination of the meanings assigned to the notion of abbreviation, which has been described to convey rather controversial meanings in English lexicology. The translational perspective of this approach was constructed on the concepts of foreignization and domestication, advanced by Venuti in the mid 1990’s. Our analysis was designed to highlight the English touch on the vocabulary of the Romanian shipbuilding terminology, at the same time disregarding both the quantitative and qualitative aspects of this influence. These aspects were waived because terminologies, like any other compartment of languages, are vivid organisms in a continual strive to develop, enrich and expand.

英语造船术语缩略语及其罗马尼亚语翻译

缩写代表了在英语和罗马尼亚的词库存以及在他们的造船术语实质性的元素。本文是对英语缩略语及其罗马尼亚语版本的分析，试图评估后者语言对造船英语的可用性。这项研究主要包括建立一个数据库，其中包括英语造船词汇表、字典和词典中出现的缩略语，这些缩略语的版本已列入类似的罗马尼亚词典编纂工作。该项目的第一步是确定缩写概念的含义，缩写在英语词汇学中被描述为传达相当有争议的含义。这种翻译方法的翻译视角是建立在韦努蒂于20世纪90年代中期提出的异化和归化概念之上的。我们的分析旨在突出英语对罗马尼亚造船术语词汇的影响，同时忽略了这种影响的数量和质量方面。这些方面被放弃，因为术语，像任何其他隔间的语言，是生动的有机体在不断努力发展，丰富和扩大。
