4.2  Another way to translate ‘long’ into loong
 
In English, ‘long’ is translated into loong. Many Overseas Chinese who has ‘long’ in their names are translated into loong. Such as: the famous martial artist--Lee Siuloong; Lee Hsieloong, the Prime Minister of Singapore etc. In Australia, the lantern, with which Chinese people perform a ‘long’ dance, is called loong. In addition, some online stores translate the ‘long’ shake toys into loong.
 
For this reason, translating ‘long’ into loong is based on the extensive use, not unjustly. Moreover，There is no Loong in English words, so translating long into Loong cannot cause confusion. The East China Normal University professor Huang Ji brought forward that the best translation of ‘long’ is Loong. He pointed out three reasons. First, the two letters “oo” in this word, which are like long’s two big eyes. Second, Loong is longer than long in spelling, which can make people think its length. Therefore, Loong has the characters of ideograph. Chinese is also ideograph, so they have common points. The third reason, according to English pronunciation, letter “oo” always pronounces [u:]. As a result, Loong should be pronounced [lu: ŋ], which is very similar with Chinese ‘long’ in pronunciation. There is no Loong in English words, so translating long into Loong cannot cause confusion.
 
During the long history, the image of ‘long’ is widely accepted by the Chinese nation. It’s a universal symbol, which passed through cultural integration. Accordingly, the changing image and the development of cultural connotation of ‘long’ are closely linked with Chinese national development. Nowadays, ‘long’ will present some new image and cultural connotation of the new era. ‘Long’, is much different from dragon, should have its own name to be known by the whole world. To some extent, nothing could be clearer than it as an representative new name for ‘long’ 
 
Conclusion：
 
Language shows the cultural characters of a nation and therefore any language of a nation carries the most sophisticated part of culture itself. Different nations have different social and cultural background.
 
The close connection between language and culture shows that to learn a language the learner must understand its culture. Translation is a representation or recreation in one language of what is written or said in another language. Translation is not so easy, this is because the language reflects the culture, loaded with generous cultural connotation, and cultural constraints. Thus, it is impossible to translate successfully without the understanding of the culture carried by the language tool.
