维特根斯坦的“家族相似性”理论认为建立概念的基础是相似性而不是共同性,因此,概念具有模糊内涵和开放外延的特征。梁启超总结出的“缀华语而别赋新义”是中国传统翻译中新语创造方式之一,在没有对等概念的情况下,可以通过附加新词义到已有汉语词语的方式翻译。此二者有异曲同工之妙。以新约圣经中“Paracletos”译为“中保”为例,可验证家族相似性理论在翻译领域的解释力。 Wittgenstein’s “family similarity ” theory that the concept is based on the similarity rather than common, therefore, the concept has the characteristics of fuzzy connotation and open delineation. Liang Qichao concludes that “embracing Chinese instead of assigning new meanings” is one of the ways to create new Chinese in traditional Chinese translation. In the absence of a reciprocal concept, translation can be done by attaching new words to existing Chinese words. Both have similarities and differences. In the New Testament, “Paracletos” is translated as “China Insurance” as an example to verify the power of family similarity theory in the field of translation.
