二 方言区划
2 Dialect zones

傅国通等(1985)把浙江省境内的吴语方言分成二区九片:
Fu Guotong et al. (1985) divided Zhejiang’s Wuyu dialects into nine groups in two regions.
浙北区:嘉兴片,湖州片,杭州片,临绍片,明州片
Northern Zhejiang: Jiaxing group, Huzhou group, Hangzhou group, Linshao group, and Mingzhou group
浙南区:台州片,温州片,婆州片,丽衢片
Southern Zhejiang: Taizhou group, Wenzhou group, Wuzhou group, and Liqu group
原严州府地区淳安、遂安、建德、寿昌四县属于徽语,未包括在内。
The region of the former Yanzhou prefecture — Chun’an, Suian, Jiande, Shouchang — were classified as Huiyu, and so they are not included.
傅国通等(1986)和《中国语言地图集》(1988)都把吴语分为六个片:太湖片,台州片,瓯江片,婺州片,处衢片,宣州片。
Fu Guotong et al. (1986) and _China Language Atlas_ (1988) both divided Wuyu into six groups: Taihu group, Taizhou group, Oujiang group, Wuzhou group, Chuqu group, and Xuanzhou group.
这个分区取消了南北对立,在第一层次上就一分为六。
This division ignores the opposition between north and south, dividing it into six top-level groups.
不过就浙江省南部地区吴语的分片来说,基本上沿袭了傅国通等(1985)的方案,只是在名称上略有改动,即”温州片”改称”瓯江片”,”丽衢片”改称”处衢片”。
But in respect to the Wu of just southern Zhejiang province, it basically carried on the proposal of Fu Guotong et al. (1985). Only in the names is there some change, namely “Wenzhou group” is changed to “Oujiang group”, and “Liqu group” is changed to “Chuqu group”.
有些人(傅国通等1985)曾试图把”南部吴语”当作一个相对独立的方言区,但事实上很难成功。
There are some people (Fu Guotong et al. 1985) who had previously tried to make “Southern Wu” a relatively independent dialect region, but this is actually difficult to accomplish.
其原因在于,在所谓的”南部吴语”区域内部,各地方言之间的差异实在是太大了。
The reason for this lies in that within the region of so-called “Southern Wu”, the differences among the individual dialects are too great.
在这种情况下,”南部吴语”这个名称的作用实际上主要是作为”地理概念”来使用,它的意思就是”吴语南部地区的方言”或”浙江省南部及其邻近地区的吴语”,跟”北部吴语”相对。
Under these circumstances, the effect of this label “Southern Wu” is in fact mainly to use a geographical concept. Its meaning is simply “the dialects spoken in the southern part of Wuyu’s region” or “the Wuyu spoken in southern Zhejiang Province and neighboring areas,” in opposition to “Northern Wu”.
当然,有时候它也可以跟”太湖片”(实际上还有宣州片,不过它容易被人忘记)相对而言,但这时的意思仍然等于”吴语南部地区的方言”或”太湖片(以及宣州片)以外的吴语”,并不是指一个跟”太湖片”(以及宣州片)相对的方言区。
Of course, sometimes it can also be used in opposition to “Taihu group.” (Actually, there is also Xuanzhou group, but it is easily forgotten.) But this meaning is still equivalent to “the dialects of the southern part of Wuyu’s region” or “the Wuyu dialects other than the Taihu group (plus the Xuanzhou group)”, which is not at all a dialect zone in contrast with “Taihu group (and Xuanzhou group).”
本书把台州地区的方言归入太湖片(参看下一小节),因此,本书所说的”南部吴语”的具体区划,相当于吴语六个片当中的婆州片、处衢片和瓯江片三片。
This book classifies the dialects of Taizhou region in the Taihu group (see the next subsection). For this reason, the specific region referred to by this book’s “Southern Wu” is equivalent to three of six top-level Wuyu dialect groups: Wuzhou group, Chuqu group, and Oujiang group.
因本书对南部吴语进行了重新分区,为了叙述和阅读的方便,本书在涉及南部吴语内部次方言区的时候,除了引述他人材料或观点以外,一律采用本书的分区方案(详见第六章第三节”南部吴语的分区”):
Because this book advances new subzones of Southern Wu, for the ease of description and reading, when this book mentions the dialect zones of Southern Wu, except when quoting the data or views of others, this book’s subzone proposal is used.
