摘　　要：由于地名短语涉及到地方特产与发明、地方行政行为、地方法制文化、地方饮食习惯、地方社会地位、地方惨烈战史、地方地貌气候以及地方价值取向等,所以研究地名短语就是研究地方历史,具有很高的考古价值。同时,因社会的变迁与发展,很多地名短语的语义发生了嬗变,翻译时要根据文化背景及语境进行语义选择,切勿望文生义。本文拟就地名短语的文化内涵及翻译时的几种句法结构和语义类型进行探讨。Toponymy phrases are closely linked to such things as local specialties, administrative behaviors, rules of law, diet customs, landforms, climate and so on. Thus, to study toponymy phrases is like to research on local history, hence of great archaeological value. On the other hand, meanings of many toponymy phrases have changed with the development and changes of the society. Therefore, the meaning of a toponymy phrase should never be interpreted superficially but rather determined according to its cultural background and context. This paper mainly deals with the cultural connotation, syntactic structures and semantic meanings of toponymy phrases in translation.
