摘 要：
叠词是汉语中一种常见的语言现象，特别是诗歌和口语中。叠词韵律紧凑，集中表现了汉语的音美、形美和意美，在文中有很强的表现力和感染力。故在汉语中的使用频率很高,尤其是古典诗词中。叠词也是表达强调、夸张以及情感效果的重要工具，并产生视觉，听觉和感官的美感。汉语如此，英语亦然。但是由于中英文不同的表达方式，汉语中叠词很难有效的翻译成英语。从某种程度上说，汉语叠词在英译过程中有其不可译性。这就体现了翻译措施的重要性。本文以具体的例子为基础,强调了这样的指导思想:翻译时不但要尽可能地忠实于原作的内容,也要尽可能地忠实于原作的形式,如果语言条件不许可复制原作的形式,那么就要努力发挥译文语言的优势,寻找出在功能和效果上与原作最为贴近的表达方式。本文在略论汉英叠词特点的基础上，提出了几种汉语叠词英译的措施。结合翻译技巧和结构，本文试图深入探究能够完美的保持原作的风格，形象和美感的翻译措施。首先，作者会简要介绍汉语和英语叠词，接下来就叠词特点、运用、功能和翻译措施进行略论，最后，作者总结出我们应该尽最大努力使翻译保持原作的音美，英语论文范文，英语论文，形美和意美。

1 Introduction
Reduplication or reduplicated word, as a lexical phenomenon, prevalently exists in Chinese as well in English. For Chinese words have the same size and symmetry, the reduplication of Chinese can generate a kind of acoustics and ocular aesthetic feeling. In English, because English is alphabetic language , every word range in a line, short and long, it is impossible to have the same effect in ocular aesthetic feeling，but English also has its reduplicative words do the same as in Chinese.
