Chapter One Introduction

1.1 Research Background

With the development of China’s national strength and the continuous expansion of global influence, the integration of construction, translation, and communication of diplomatic discourse has become a major topic of concern to relevant government agencies and think-tanks scholars. The significance of the topic has grown unprecedentedly prominent especially after the 18th CPC National Congress, and now we have the goal to intensify our international discourse power and strengthen our cultural soft power. It is essential to “enhance our foreign-oriented publicity work through trying methods with new concepts, domains and expressions that are understood by both China and the rest of the world, telling the true story of China and making our voices heard” (Xi, 2014: 175). The C-E translation of diplomatic discourse with Chinese characteristics plays a key role in the spread of China’s true stories and voices, thus helping the dissemination of China’s diplomatic thoughts and concepts to the international community and the enhancement of China’s international influence.  

Among the many branches of the studies on diplomatic discourse translation, the use of phonological rhetorical devices largely employed in the diplomatic context is a unique language phenomenon and reflects the diplomatic language art with Chinese characteristics. However, it appears that it has been attached less importance by translation scholars due to the complexity and particularity of the context in which the figure of speech is located. Traditionally, phonological rhetorical devices have been merely limited to the genre of poetry in literature. In fact, diplomatic phonological expressions, deeply rooted in Chinese language and culture, also have special discursive functions in conveying globally the diplomatic attitudes towards international affairs and issues. 

1.2 Research Purpose

In recent years, China, a major country that has been receiving growing international attention, has offered lots of Chinese wisdom and approaches such as “global community with a shared future” and “the Belt and Road Initiative” for global governance and expounded the views and propositions of China on various major international issues facing mankind. Chinese diplomatic discourse contains a variety of phonological rhetorical expressions with Chinese language characteristics, such as “共商共建共享” “航行自由而不是横行自由” and “喊破嗓子不如甩开膀子”. These phonological expressions in a unique linguistic form produce a great musical effect and emotive meaning and play an important role in delivering China’s diplomatic ideas and its positions. Therefore, in the process of translating, diplomatic translators should try their best to reproduce the musical effects of these phonological expressions to enhance the communication of Chinese diplomatic discourse. 

However, the translation of diplomatic phonological rhetorical devices is limited by various objective factors. First, Chinese and English language systems are quite different. The former belongs to the Sino-Tibetan family of ideographic characters, while本论文由英语论文网提供整理，提供论文代写，英语论文代写，代写论文，代写英语论文，代写留学生论文，代写英文论文，留学生论文代写相关核心关键词搜索。
