摘要
语言是社会历史发展的镜子。在世界各民族文化的相互交融中,由于不同民族的政治、经济发展水平的不平衡,产生了民族歧视现象,进而反映到了各民族的语言中。在英美语言中,就有许多词汇与民族有关,其中又有部分词汇含有对其他民族诋毁和侮辱的意味。这里通过对英美语言中民族偏见问题的举例,剖析了英美国家在历史发展中所表露的大国沙文主义的思维定势和价值取向。而随着现代世界经济一体化进程的不断加快,民族歧视现象将逐渐消除,对其它民族含有歧视性的语言也必将消亡。
Language is a mirror which reflects the history. In the cultural exchanges of different nationalities in the entire world, the unbalance of different politics and economic development give rise to national prejudice, whose expression can be found in the diversity of languages. In the English language, for example, there is a large vocabulary that is closely related to nationalities or insulting to other nationalities. Various words and set expressions on national prejudice in the English language are presented in this paper to highlight the chauvinist way of thinking in the western countries as well as their value orientations. With the globalization of world economy, national prejudice and discriminating languages against other nationalities are doomed to disappear.
