“一带一路” 译法刍议
作者:黄语生


...

  我们认为,从传播学和语用学的角度,将“一带一路”战略构想译为Silk Belt and Road Initiative是较为理想的选择。这有以下三点理由:首先,它保留了举世皆知的Silk Road,使丝绸之路丰富而积极的联想意义得以保留。其次,它保留了不少人已经熟悉的Belt和Road两词,利于译文的传播及接受。再次,将Belt一词放在Silk之后,不但形神兼具,还可避免与美国的New Silk Road plan相混淆。

  此外,笔者建议,将Silk Belt and Road Initiative缩写形式定为SBRIN,与spring(春天)和常用英文人名Sabrina音近,不但简单易记,而且让人富于正面联想。

QHE,

"刍议" indeed. IMHO, not only is there no improvement to the existing slogan, but "Silk Belt and Road Initiative" only adds to one's curiosity and bewilderment.

The "One Belt, One Road" saying has been accepted by the Western media for quite some time now, as demonstrated by a few citations of some major news outlets ...



https://www.wsj.com/articles/china-now-has-a-rail-link-into-the-heart-of-europe-1494519829

Beijing touts globalization and freight shippers hail revival of Silk Road on eve of ‘One Belt One Road’ summit

https://www.wsj.com/articles/the-folly-of-investing-in-chinas-one-belt-one-road-1493052330
The Folly of Investing in China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’

On May 13, Beijing will host a summit meeting of countries participating in its massive infrastructure initiative known as “One Belt, One Road”—a belt of overland corridors and a complementary road of sea routes linking China to Eurasia and Africa. Neighboring countries may benefit from Beijing’s investment, but investors have reason to be wary.

https://blogs.wsj.com/chinarealtime/2016/12/28/chinas-one-belt-one-road-takes-to-space/
China’s ‘One Belt, One Road’ Takes to Space
Countries along Beijing’s flagship Silk Road Economic Belt and 21st-century Maritime Silk Road will be among the first in line to plug into China’s new satellite-navigation services

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/11/business/us-china-trade-deals.html
The disclosure of the deals on Thursday evening — which included an announcement that the United States would be represented at a forum in Beijing devoted to President Xi Jinping’s ambitious “One Belt, One Road” international investment initiative — suggests that the Trump administration is trying to smooth relations with Beijing despite President Trump’s harsh anti-China language on the campaign trail.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/02/magazine/is-china-the-worlds-new-colonial-power.html
Even as China’s boom slows down, its most ambitious scheme is still ramping up: With the “One Belt, One Road” initiative — its name a reference to trade routes — President Xi Jinping has spoken of putting $1.6 trillion over the next decade into infrastructure and development throughout Asia, Africa and the Middle East. The scheme would dwarf the United States’ post-World War II Marshall Plan for Europe.

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/04/06/upshot/how-trump-can-improve-the-messy-us-chinese-economic-relationship.html
So, for example, in trying to get more favorable Chinese treatment of American goods and services, the standard menu of carrots Mr. Trump has to offer for compliance is relatively modest. China wants things like United States membership in the Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank that it started, and support for its “One Belt, One Road” program to build better transportation infrastructure stretching from Southeast Asia to Europe.

https://www.nytimes.com/aponline/2017/05/11/world/asia/ap-as-china-new-silk-road-abridged.html
Dubbed "One Belt, One Road" after ancient trade routes through the Indian Ocean and Central Asia, the initiative is Chinese President Xi Jinping's signature project.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/wires/reuters/article-3224326/Chinas-One-Belt-One-Road-looks-construction-binge-offshore.html
China's 'One Belt, One Road' looks to take construction binge offshore

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/peter-frankopan/asia-silk-road-west-end_b_9663572.html
And then there is China, a rising source of alarm in the West even at a time of slower economic growth than in the recent past. The creation of artificial islands in and territorial claims over the South China Sea have resulted in the dispatch of a U.S. carrier strike group to monitor China’s activities, raising the specter of potential military confrontation and escalation. And yet, on the other hand, the massive program of investment known as the “One Belt, One Road” initiative — in which nearly $1 trillion has been committed to infrastructure projects that will generate energy, pump gas and oil, connect cities with super-fast railways and create and upgrade existing highways — shows that the age of the West is all but at an end when it comes to taking the lead and planning for the future.

丝绸之路重镇 - 兰州 May 14, 2017

我离开兰州已三十多年。兰州是丝绸之路上的重镇。兰州化学工业公司是中国第一个石化工业基地,被誉为中国石化工业的“摇篮”。大学毕业后,我在那里工作了十几年。那时国民经济濒临崩溃,老百姓生活十分艰苦。尽管如此,至今我对那个时期的工作与生活、对那里的老同事、老同学、老邻居们还是十分怀念。

Thanks, Yueyin.

Too bad 土豆网站 doesn't allow for downloading their video clips, at least not for viewers residing in North America. But I believe I found the same clip on YouTube ...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hwqYBQLHyTo&t=763s

Coincidentally, the clip was only uploaded a few days ago.

“此舞只应天上有,人间难得看几回” May 14, 2017

Steve,

你找到的这段视频似乎较清晰些。当年,我还看过甘肃省歌舞团在舞台上演出的《丝路花雨》,那比电影版更为精彩。我也算是比较幸运,看了被誉为天上才有的舞蹈。

那时的老百姓一定非常笃厚诚挚。




我曾在 Plantation 参观过碾磨谷物用的水车,但比兰州这种灌溉用水车好像要小很多。

7 decades is a long stretch

50年也是很长的一段时间,但回首望去,似乎也就是弹指一挥间。5年前,我校有机化工系62级的一百余位同学,于入学50周年之际重返母校,与当年的老师们欢聚一堂。今年9月,我们还将在母校聚会,以庆祝毕业50周年。当年我们在学期间,学校曾提出过一个口号:“为祖国健康地工作50年”。如今,我们确实还有不少同学仍在继续工作。

The Star-spangled Banner (Auli’i Cravalho)


Oh say, can you see by the dawn's early light
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming
And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there?
Oh say, does that Star-spangled Banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?
