校训是一个学校的灵魂,体现了一所学校的办学传统,代表着校园文化和教育理念,是人文精神的高度凝练(highly condensed humanism)和学校历史和文化的积淀,也是广大师生共同遵守的基本行为准则与道德规范(basic code of conduct and ethics)。
“校训”的英文称“School Motto”。Motto常译为“座右铭”或“箴言”,指a short sentence or phrase as encapsulating the beliefs or ideals guiding an individual, family, or institution (作为指导个人、家庭或团体概括信仰或理想而选定的短句或短语)。
由于校训往往言简意赅,包含深刻的内容,因此翻译较难。北京新语丝翻译公司为您介绍一些英中对照的名校校训,既希望对年轻的朋友起到励志的作用,也可供大家作为翻译的参考。
