TRANSLATION IN NATIONAL WORLDVIEW
Abstract
This article analyses the concept “national and cultural worldview” in the size of bilingual communication, examines peculiarities in mass media texts translation. The article establishes important types of divergences between Spanish and Russian worldviews which are relevant for translation: abundance in Spanish mass media texts of specific and “exotic” national idiomatic units, bright stylistic locutions, figurative expressions, syntactic constructions, text structures which, when used in oral and written speech sound weird and unexpected for Russian native speakers. Spaniards often use the words from different spheres of life (sports, medicine, warfare) in political communicative situations. The article gives examples from Spanish-Russian translations and proposes ways to overcome divergences in the context of the Spanish worldview. The author makes conclusion that the national and cultural distinctions are the eleventh important factor of the adequate translation.
