在古汉语称谓中存在大量“内人”、“内助”、“晚生”、“小生”、“愚”、“妾”、“婢子”、“寡人”、“朕”、“孤”等谦称。这些特殊称呼流行于不同的历史时期,一定程度上反映了中国封建制度和传统文化在特殊时代的一些侧面。笔者通过比较几部汉英外向型词典对谦称的释义,指出其中文化信息的空缺,并建议以对等词加括注的方式填补释义的不足。 In the ancient Chinese appellation, there are a large number of “inner people”, “inner help”, “late life”, “niche”, “stupid”, “concubine”, “ , ”Guaren “, ”朕 “, ”Solitary " and other modest. These special names popularized in different historical periods and to a certain extent reflected some aspects of the feudal system and traditional culture in China in a special era. By comparing several Chinese-English outward-looking dictionaries to the interpretation of modesty, the author points out the vacancy of the cultural information, and proposes to fill in the deficiencies of the explanation by means of the equivalent words and the parentheses.
