| 释义 | superman['sju:pəmæn]n. 具有超人能力的人, 超人 superman su.per.man AHD: [s›“p…r-m²n”] D.J. [6su8p*7m#n]K.K. [6sup+7m#n]n.（名词）1. A man with more than human powers.超人：有超人的力量的人2. An ideal superior man who, according to Nietzsche, forgoes transient pleasure, exercises creative power, lives at a level of experience beyond standards of good and evil, and is the goal of human evolution.Also called In this sense, also called overman 完人：哲学家尼采哲学中之放弃短暂享乐、具有创造力、生活于是非标准之上的理想超级人物，尼采认为这种人是人类进化的目标也作 在此意义上也可称作 overman语源:1. Translation of German Übermensch 德语 Übermensch的翻译 2. über- [super-] über- [前缀，表示“超”] 3. Mensch [man] Mensch [人] 注释:Overman and Beyondman hardly seem likely names for a superhero, but perhapsOverman might be “leaping tall buildings at a single bound” had the German word Übermensch been translated differently than it was. However, Nietzsche's term for the ideal superior man was translated into English assuperman, first recorded in a work by George Bernard Shaw published in 1903. Such a term comes to us through a process called loan translation, or calque formation,whereby the semantic components of a word or phrase in one language are literally translated into their equivalents in another language,GermanÜbermensch, made up of über, “super-,” and Mensch, “man,” thus becoming superman. Becauseüber- can also be translated “beyond” and “over,” we also findoverman and beyondman as calques for the word Übermensch, but they did not take root.Shaw, in a letter written before 1917, noted that“some of our most felicitous writers . . . had been using such desperate and unspeakable forms as Beyondman, when the glib Superman was staring them in the face all the time.”Hence, when it came to naming a new comic strip hero,Superman was the logical choice, a name first recorded in 1938. Overman 和 Beyondman 看上去几乎不象超级英雄的名称， 但是，如果将德语中 Übermensch 这个单词译作不同于原有的译法时，那么，也许 Overman 可能是“纵身一跃就能跃过高楼大厦”。 然而，尼采给予理想超人的名称译成英语为Superman ， 这个词最早见于乔治·萧伯纳的出版于1903年的一部作品中。这个词是通过借译而来的，或者说是通过仿造而来的，在以上这样的过程中，一个词或词组的语义成分被直译成另一语言中的与之相对应的成分。德语单词 Übermensch 是由 uber （即英语中“super-”之意）和 Mensch （即英语中“man”之意）组成的，这样的话，此词在英语中就成了 Superman 。 因为 über 也可译为“beyond”和“over”， 所以我们发现 躡ermensch 也被借译为 overman 和 beyondman 。 但是，这两个词并没有在英语中确立下来。萧伯纳在写于1917年之前的一封信中说道：“一些措辞最巧妙的英语作家，竟一直使用象Beyondman这种令人绝望而又无法形容的词，却对一直面对面盯着他们的‘Superman’视而不见”。这样，当要命名一个新的连环漫画中的英雄时，Superman 一词就成了理所当然的选择，这个名称首次记录于1938年 |
