How to translate classical Chinese works not only comprehensively and precisely, but also easy for people who without cultural background to understand is becoming a heated problem. The affluent and high-valued minds in Lunyu almost ranks to the top among ancient Chinese works, and language in it is concise, advocating using a few words to express propounding thought. Therefore, fuzziness becomes one of its typical characteristics, however, the related research about translation strategies, reasons why translating in that way, and effects on it are lacking. This paper will under the direction of theories of fuzzy language and cultural context, picking representative instances mainly from Gu Hongming’s translation version to make a brief analysis. It comes out that main translation strategies are noting, paraphrasing, expounding, and omitting. Plus, reasons resulting in fuzziness will be illustrated, such as original characteristics of language itself，writing style, different culture backgrounds and so on. Moreover, it owns both benefits and drawbacks, such as providing more possibilities for translators to translate in the way which they believe is the best but there still have so much disputation among different versions. The aim of this thesis is through the deliberate statement, giving a little enlightenment towards other Chinese traditional works’ translation, especially fuzziness’s translation.","PeriodicalId":483980,"journal":{"name":"English language teaching and linguistics studies","volume":"177 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135060537","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Learners commonly attempt differentiation based on subtle emotional nuances, evaluative connotations, and semantic intensity. This study employs the Corpus of Contemporary American English (COCA), along with image and audio data, to scrutinize the semantic nuances of the synonyms: “reveal”, “disclose”, and “expose”. The investigation unveils the subsequent pivotal discoveries: “Reveal” exhibits greater prevalence relative to “disclose” and “expose”, frequently associating with abstract nouns, whereas the latter two demonstrate a proclivity for specific terms. These terms display collocational variations, signifying distinctive contextual preferences. Through the integration of image and audio data, the study further underscores the subtle distinctions among these synonyms on both visual and auditory levels. This research contributes a novel methodology for a nuanced comprehension of these synonyms, allowing for a multidimensional understanding facilitated by the amalgamation of multimodal data. It provides educators with a more enriched pedagogical approach to assist learners in employing these synonyms with greater precision.","PeriodicalId":483980,"journal":{"name":"English language teaching and linguistics studies","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-09-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135490425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
