8、中，数字并不都是表示确切的数目，作为一种特殊的文化语言，数字成为各民族文化乃至人类文明不可缺少的一部分，使用于社会生活的方方面面。数字语言具有模糊性，而模糊性是语言的基本属性。本文首先介绍了模糊语言学的相关理论，如模糊性的定义、特点以及数字语义模糊产生的原因，这些都为下文探讨数字语义模糊性奠定了基础。其次，本文结合实例介绍了数字语义模糊的修辞功能和美学效果。最后，简单探讨了翻译时要遵循的原则（与目标语相适应的原则、符合习语性原则和生动性原则）和实际操作可行的方法（保留数字直译、变动数字改译和舍弃数字意译） 。关键词：语义模糊; 数字；翻译iContentsAcknowledgments .iA
