摘　　要：英汉对应词在各自文化中的含义、作用、范围和感情色彩的影响等方面都是相当的,即谓等值。囿于生存空间、生存空间所能提供的物质可能性和社会群体基于二者所内化的认知差异,产生了英汉对应词词义不等值现象。文章拟从文化视角对这种现象进行深层次探讨。The English-Chinese corresponding word is equivalent when they are equal in cultural meaning, pragmatic function and the influence of emotional color. But British and Chinese people subject to different cultures, have different ways of observing things and encoding them. This gives rise to the non-equivalence in word meaning between the seemingly equivalent words. This paper analyzes this phenomenon in cultural perspective,with examples from English and Chinese.
