metadata.value: Slang (“sub-language”) is a vocabulary of informal register normally used to
  establish a group identity of either people of little political power (adolescents)
  or people who hide from the authorities (gamblers, drug addicts, prisoners).
  Its most common characteristics are sociability, flexibility and naturalness,
  which make it a unique object of scientific research. The purpose of this article
  is to solve the problem of translation into Chinese of Russian slang lexical
  units in literature taking as example the text of Alexei Ivanov’s novel “Food
  block”. The plot of A. Ivanov’s novel “Food block” unfolds in 1980 and tells a
  story about young people who spend summer vacations in “Burevestnik”, a
  pioneer camp invaded by vampires. The book uses a lot of slang units to enrich
  the language and create a realistic environment. These lexical units may be
  difficult to translate into Chinese not only because of their absence in Russian-
  Chinese dictionaries, but also because of the ambivalence of their interpretation
  and different perception in the cultures of the source and the target
  languages. In this article we will provide analysis and offer translations into
  Chinese for the following slang units: 1) пацы; 2) шпили-вили; 3) мацать;
  4) шашни; 5) мильтоны; 6) ходок; 7) тупарь. The article’s structure is the
  following: we analyze the origin of each selected slang unit, study their artistic
  impact and literary meaning in the original, analyze advantages and disadvantages
  of possible translation techniques and illustrating their practical application.
  Since the novel has not yet been translated into Chinese, the results
  of the study may be useful for potential translators, as well as for the study
  of Sino-Russian intercultural dialog in general and the translation of Russian
  slang into Chinese in particular.
