汉韩将来时表达对比研究

Abstract

Through an investigation about means of expression and semantic characteristics of future in both Korean and Chinese, this paper introduces detailed case studies about translation of future in both languages. It is implied in the investigation that incaseof conjectural mood -겠-, -을 것이- and -(으)ㄹ in Korean correspond with Chinese modal verbs, such as 可能 and 会 at most time. But in a few cases of conjectural mood, -겠-, -을 것이- and -(으)ㄹ will be translated into 要. When conveying one’s intention, -겠- is mostly translated into 要. However, translation will make the future in Chinese go opposite in Korean. In most cases of conjectural mood, 要 is translated into -겠- in Korean. But when 要 is conveying one’s intention, it corresponds with Korean conjunctive, –려고. Such a phenomenon shows that two grammatical elements cannot obtain one-to-one correspondence even if they share similar meaning during translating. In another word, a successful translation in this case can only be achieved in a special form that can express the central meaning of target language. To sum up, the correspondence between -겠- and 要 shows that the central meaning of -겠- is not intentional but conjectural, while the core meaning of 要 is intentional instead of being conjectural, though both of them can express one’s conjectural mood and intention.
