汉译英翻译技巧

一、分清主从(Subordination)

汉语句中各分句关系比较松散,所以在动笔前应认真分析句子要旨所在。句中重点往往在后。英译时,要突出重点或主句,其他部分可分别用介词短语,非谓语动词形式或各种从句表示。

1、没有农业,人们就不能生存,社会生产就不能继续下去。

Without agriculture, people cannot exist, neither can social production

proceed.

2、他们一听到“反霸”就火冒三丈,这充分暴露了他们那霸权主义的蛮横嘴脸。

The fact that they fly into a rage at a mere mention of the expression“anti-

hegemony”is enough to reveal their true colours as a domineering hegemonists.

3、有人以为社会主义就了不起,一点缺点也没有,哪有这个事?

Some believe that socialism is just perfect, without a single flaw. How can

that be true?

4、但是,象我们常说的那样,道路总是曲折的,前途总是光明的。

But as we have often said, while the road ahead is tortuous, the future is

bright.

二、选词用字(Diction)

在汉译英时应特别注意选找与原文中在意义上和风味上尽可能都类似的词语。

1、每个民族都有它的长处,不然它为什么能存在?为什么能发展?

Every nation has its own strong points. If not, how can it survive? How can it progress?

2、树雄心,立壮志,向科学技术现代化进军。

Foster lofty ideals, set high goals and march forward for the revolution

of modernization of science and technology.

3、我国的社会主义建设,需要一个和平的国际环境,需要一个国内安定团结,

天下大治的局面。

For its socialist construction, China needs an international environment

of peace and a domestic situation of stability, unity and great order.

4、论技术,她那时还不如我,但思想却比我高得多。

Professionally she was then not yet my equal, but ideologically she was

head and shoulders above me.

三、增益(Ampification)

汉译英时的“增益”技巧的运用,有时是为了使英美人理解原文的精确含义,有时是为了遵循英语的行文习惯。

1、交出翻译之前,必须读几遍,看看有没有要修改的地方。这样才能把工作做好。

Before handing in your translation, you have to read it over and over again

and see if there anything in it to be corrected or improved. Only then can

you do your work well.

(英语行文时人称代词,物主代词用得较多)

2、她挑水,生炉子,洗东西,忙个不停。

Fetching water, building the fire, washing --- she had her hands full every

minute. (增益为了意译)

3、他们一听说有新任务,就坐不往了。

When they learnt that they’d been given a new task, they just couldn’t sit still any longer. (增加not… any longer 表示“不再”.)

4、会用就了不得,不会用就一文不值.

It works wonders when you know how to use it, but when you don’t it is not

worth a single penny. (增加连词与代词)

三、省略法.(Omission)

汉语不怕重复,英语中有相同的词语常可省略,行文较简练。汉语中出于行文需要而没有实意的一些词语在英译时也要省略。

1、我们要培养分析问题,解决问题的能力。

We must cultivate the ability to analyse and solve problems.

(只用一个problems)

2、我已提前完成了任务,他也提前完成了。

I’ve fulfilled my assigned work ahead of schedule, so has he.

3、中国人民历来是勇于探索,勇于创造,勇于革命的。

The people of China have always been courageous enough to probe into

things, to make inventions and to make revolution.

(只用一个courageous enough )

4、质子带阳电,电子带阴电,而中子既不带阳电,也不带阴电。

A proton has a positive charge and an electron a negative charge, but a

neutron has neither.

五、转换(Conversion)

汉语中的某些词类在英译时常常要根据英语的句式转换成英语的另一类词,更符合英语的惯用法。不仅如此,有时整个句式也要转换。

1、一定要少说空话,多做工作。

There must be less empty talk and more hard work.

(汉语中的动词转换成英语中的名词)

2、警察把那个孩子的胳臂抓得更紧了,叫嚷道:“学规矩点!”

Tightening his hold on the boy’s arm, the policeman yelled,“Learn some respect!”(句子的前部分转换成分词结构)

3、口试时问了她十个问题,她一一答对了。

She was asked ten questions in the oral exam and answered every one correctly.

(主动式转换为被动式句型)

4、语言这个东西不是随便可以学好的,非下苦功不可。

The mastery of language is not easy and requires painstaking effort.

(句式不同但意思完全相同)

六、词序调整。(Inversion)

每种语言都有自己的自然语序,翻译时要注意入乡随俗。特别要注意英译时强调句式的词序。

1、这个茶会是由伦敦《泰晤士报》的高级记者约翰先生举行的。

The tea-party was given by Mr John, senior correspondent of The

Times, London.(英译时姓名在前,职务在后)

2、我们上星期天在她家尽情地吃了一顿。

We ate to our hearts’ content at her home last Sunday.

(汉语的状语排列:时间―――地点―――方式

英语的排列是:方式―――地点―――时间)

3、我们从来没有看见过这样光明的前途。

Never have we seen so bright a future before us.

(英语中Never开头的句子词序要倒装)

4、荷花虽好,也要绿叶扶持。

With all its beauty the lotus needs the green of its leaves to set it off.

( With 的特殊用法,表示让步,用在句首)

七、正说反译,反说正译。(Negation)

英汉两种语言都有自己的约定俗成的正反说法,这在英译时要时刻注意到。英语中有些词汇本身就有否定的意思,要善于利用,如fail, without, beyond, until, unless, instead of 等;

1、我认为他不对。他昨天没有露面。

I don’t think he is correct. he failed to turn up yesterday.

(正说反译,反说正译)

2、证据确凿,毋庸置疑。

The evidence is conclusive, excluding all possibilities of doubt.(反说正译)

3、那件事没有减弱我们的决心,反倒增强了我们的决心。

That served to strengthen instead of weaken our determination.

( or: That strengthened, rather than weakened, our determination.)

4、会议开得冷冷清清,有时甚至开不下去了。

The meetings were marked by such an absence of lively discussions that

at times they were almost on the point of breaking up.(正说反译,反说正译)

八、长句拆译。(Division)

翻译时随意断句是不足取的,但为了忠实并通顺地转达原意,仔细分析后,在保持原文风格特点的前提下,适当地断句倒显得更自然有力。长句拆译时往往要综合使用学到的种种技巧。

1、我们的一般企业很少注意经济效果,广泛存在着劳动无定员,生产无定额,质量无检查,成本无核算的现象,在人力、物力、财力上造成很多浪费。

Our enterprises in general pay little attention to economic results, since usually the number of workers needed for a job is not fixed, production quota is not fixed, the quality of products is not checked and cost accounting is not earnestly practised. All this has incurred a big waste of manpower, material resources and money.

(因为原长句结尾处是表判断带有总结性的分句,所以在这里断句译较好)

2、人民的觉悟是不容易的,要去掉人民头脑中的错误思想,需要我们做很多切切实实的工作。

The political awakening of the people is not easy. It requires much earnest effort on our part to rid their minds of wrong ideas. (原句中包含着从一般到细节的过渡,断句分译才使译文更有条理)

3、一定要言行一致,理论与实践密切结合,反对华而不实和任何虚夸,少说空话,多做工作,扎扎实实,埋头苦干。Deed and word must match and theory and practice must be closely integrated.

We must reject flashiness without substance and every sort of boasting. There must be less empty talk and more hard work. We must be steadfast and dedicated.

长句拆译方面对初学者来说有些偏深,故不多举例了。作为有心人认真探索是大有好处的。

以上我们探讨了如何在汉译英时把“英译汉”的翻译技巧加以利用,以求得英语行文正确与合理.现在我们要从另一个角度来分析汉译英.也就是从语法上着手,纵横结合。通过这样学习,对提高实际运用英语的能力有极其重要的作用。因为汉语的句子我们可以一目十行,怎么样地道地用英语表达才是我们“翻译法”的终极目标.

一、汉语中无词形变化,但仔细分析一下,我们都能明确其中各词属于什么词性。英语中词形变化很重要,名词有单复数变化,冠词有定冠词和不定冠词,形容词、副词有比较级和最高级的变化,动词有时态、语态、语气的变化以及各种非谓语动词的不同用法。这要求我们在汉译英时应该看好英语的词法与句法的统一。

1、年轻人宜彬彬有礼。

Modesty becomes a young man.

(注意动词的变化与冠词的用法)

2、鸟鸣山更幽。

It seems to be more lonesome in the mountains when birds are singing.

(形容词比较级,名词复数,动词进行时)

3、从各方面来考虑,他的命运是幸福的。

Taking all things into consideration, his lot is a happy one.

(分词的独立主格用法,冠词的正确使用)

4、使事情更糟的,天又下起雨来了。

To make the matter worse, it began to rain.

(不定式作独立主格)

二、汉语中存在着无主句(没有主语的句子)。英语中除祈使句之外,一般都必须有主语。所以在汉译英时,应经常推敲要选那一个词来当主语,一般可加上I, we, you, they等(常泛指人们)作主语以及加上相应的物主代词。有时也采用被动语态来翻译。

1、拾煤渣也要放聪明点儿,常常换换地方。为的不受那些野男孩子的欺负。

Even when scrounging for cinder you had to have your wits about you and shift from place to place to avoid those mischievous boys who banded together to collect cinders, too.

(用you作主语,再加上相关的代词your.)

2、真是一个钱撕成八瓣用,心里总想着怎样能够改善家里的困境。

Each single copper had to be eked out, and I kept racking my minds for ways to improve our difficult conditions.

(翻译时用I 作主语并增加相关的物主代词)

3、对革命高潮的客观条件与主观力量区分不清楚,不知道主观的群众运动对促成革命高潮到来的作用。

No clear distinction was made between the objective condition and the subjective strength involved in a revolutionary upsurge. We did not understand the importance of the mass movement, the subjective element, in helping to bring about a revolutionary upsurge.

(汉语中属无主句,英译时增添主语we)

3、村里办了小学,开设了粮站和卫生所。

A primary school, a grain station and a clinic have been set up in the village.

(汉译英时使用被动语态)

三、汉语中词与词之间,短语与短语之间,分句与分句之间很少用连词。而在这种场合下英语一定要使用连词,表示各成份之间的关系。汉语的特点是“意合”,这种简洁性曾被著名的美国语言学家爱德华.萨皮尔描绘为是一种有着“合理的逻辑性”的语言。英语行文重在“形合”.所以在该使用连词and 时决不可漏掉。其它各种从属连词的使用也很重要。1、我们是革命战争的领导者,组织者,我们又是群众生活的领导者,组织者。

We are the leaders and organizers of the revolutionary wars as well as the leaders and organizers of the life of the masses.(连词and, as well as 在这里一定要用)

2、小伙子走了.夕阳下,她躺在草地上等着。

The young man left, and she lay waiting on the grass in the evening sun.

(这里连词and 起了合句的作用,合句与断句相对,也是一种重要的翻译技巧.)

3、海洋覆盖了地球表面的71%,是全球生命支持系统的一个基本组成部分,也是资源的宝库,环境的重要调节器.

The ocean, which covers 71% of the earth’s s urface, is a basic component of the global bio-support system. It is also a treasure house of resources and an important regulator of the environment.

(主语后面有三个并列的谓语:覆盖了…,是…,也是… .但仔细分析可看出,“覆盖了地球表面的71%”说明了一个人们已知的客观事实,句子的重点在后面。因此译文用了一个定语从句来处理前面的分句,而用谓语集中处理后半句的内容。) 4、中国在自己发展的长河中,形成了优良的历史文化传统。这些传统,随着时代变迁和社会进步获得扬弃和发展。In the prolonged course of its development, China has formed its fine historical and cultural traditions, which have been either developed or sublated with the changes of the times and social progress.

(原文是两句话,第一句在句末提出“历史文化传统”,第二句接着加以发挥。两句话虽在内容上紧密相连,但在形式上都是两个并列的句子,互相没有从属关系。汉语行文“意合”,我们就应该用英语的“形合”表示出来,所以使用了从属连词which 把两句连在一起,变成一个主从复合句.

四、意译法的正确使用。

翻译过程本身充满矛盾,笔者认为主要矛盾在于意合与形合之争。根据我们现在学习的目的来看,我更偏重于意合,说穿了就是意译。因为同一句汉语可用多种英语句型表达,反之亦然。一般情况下,意思说对了就行了,那在什么情况下用意译较好呢?

(一),如果照原句的字眼直接译成英语,你又不熟悉对应词的相关的用法,就容易引起误会,这时应使用意译法,以确切传达原意为准。

1、村里的居民,全不在他眼睛里。

He looked down upon all the inhabitants of the village.

2、谁料这小子竟谋了他的饭碗去。

Who could have thought that this low fellow would steal his living from him.

3、他惹了一肚子的气,回来气的一整夜也没睡着。

Being absolutely enraged, he was much too angry to sleep that night.

4、他说“如今没奈何,把你雇在间壁人家放牛。”

“There’s no way out but to set you to work looking after over neighbor’s baffalo.”

(二)、按原文正面译出,译文语言不好处理时,可以采用反面着笔的意译法,也就是我们所谈到的“正说反译,反说正译”的技巧。

1、那赵家的狗,何以看我两眼呢?我怕的有理。

Why should the Zhao’s dog give me two glances of the eye? My fear is not

a groundless one.

2、那小女孩接受了礼物,爱玩不忍释手。

The little girl accepted the gift, liking it so much that she could scarcely take his eyes off it.

3、忽视这一点就不能掌握和运用世界上先进的科学技术成果,不能很好地解决我国建设中遇到的重大问题。Negligence in this respect will make it impossible for us to master and apply the results of advanced world science and technology and properly solve important problems in our construction.

4、过街愈当心愈好。礼貌是值得尽量尊重的。

You cannot be too careful in crossing the street.

Good manners cannot be too much valued.

(三)、用意译法比字面直译更能确切反映原意时。(汉语成语,俗语,诗歌翻译等)

1、山不在高,有仙则名。

Any mountains can be famous with the presence of an immortal.

2、a),引人瞩目b),温厚儒雅c),抡滩上海d),大展鸿图

a), attractive b), pacific c),swarm in Shanghai

d), very well realize one’s ambition

3、三个和尚无水吃。

Everybody’s business is nobody’s business.

4、前不见古人,后不见来者。念天地之悠悠,独怆然而涕下。

Before me, unseen are the ancients,

Behind me, unseen those to come,

Thinking of this infinite universe

Alone, in my sorrow, I shed tears.

(四)、有时为了适应某种文字体裁的要求,译文只译出原作的大意。(如图片说明词,展览会上的实物介绍等)

1、区中心大道

Plant Central Avenue

2、“跃马擒敌”

Hunting Down the Enemy

3、湄洲岛位于台湾海峡通道里,是莆田市湄洲湾上的一个小岛,面积14平方公里,人口3.5万多,因供奉妈祖的“湄洲祖庙”闻名世界。

Located in the Taiwan Straits, Meizhou Island is a small island with a total area of 14 square kilometers and a population of 35thousand. It is well-known home and abroad for the first Mazu Temple.

4、二百公里航道上,遍布着无数险滩。险滩上,江流汹涌,回旋激荡,水击礁石,浪花飞溅,声如雷鸣。Numerous shoals scattered over the 200kms course give rise to many eddies.

Pounding on the midstream rocks, the river roars thunderously.

掌握一些常用的英汉,汉英对译的翻译技巧可以激发高中学生英语学习的兴趣。因为学了就会用,一劳永逸,简直是文字游戏。我们视之为学习英语过程中的一种有用的思维工具,不应该把它定位于教学法。毋宁说这是一种学习法,或“应付考试法”更确切。在解答数学题时,我们曾用过归纳法、演绎法、归谬法等,为什么我们在解答英语习题时不可用翻译法呢?下面有40道汉译英练习。第一部分着重某一种技巧的运用,第二部分要运用二种以上的技巧。参考答案与提示并不是唯一的。你可以自己创新,写出更美、更富有表现力的句子。愿同学们青出于蓝胜于蓝。

“深入浅出”这个成语原意是指把深奥的内容用浅显的言语表达出来,英语可译为:“explain the profound in simple terms”。翻译法学英语也可算是深入浅出。但应作别解。学习翻译法不太容易,所以要深入;但学会了之后,就很好用了,可以“浅出”。因此也具有深入浅出的含义。有点“踏破铁鞋无处觅,得来全不费工夫”的意境了.下面四篇汉语短文,与英语书面表达所要求的程度相近。动手试译一下,你一定会感到太好译了,简直是小菜一碟。恭喜你成功了!

讲演人。讲座结束后,我们要在班上讨论。

不要迟到。就这些了。谢谢大家。

亲爱的编辑同志:

我的家乡以前是个美丽的地方。到处都可见到浓密的树木和绿色的草地。人们为了建造房屋、垦荒多种庄稼,越来越多的树木砍倒了。几乎整座森林随着岁月的流逝而遭毁灭。逐渐形成了这种情况,青山变成荒地,河流干涸。结果沙尘暴时时侵袭我们的家园,我们深受其害。所以我多么希望全民应该体会到没有保护环境而产生的可怕的后果。还有,我们应该保护那座森林并多植树,不要只是为了改善生活而乱砍伐。

随着迈进电脑时代,我们感到生活上与电脑息息相关。有成千上万种电脑学习软件及电脑游戏,新花样层出不穷。

然而,不同的人们对电脑的利用大相径庭。我校很多学生借助电脑课程,学习上已突飞猛进。同样的时间里,有些学生玩起电脑游戏来依依不舍,这使他们学习上远远地落后于同班同学。甚至有些同学成了流生。

据我看来,我们应该充分合理地利用电脑。电脑能扩大我们的知识面,拓宽我们的胸怀。我们不应当埋头于电脑游戏中毁灭自己。

多亏希望工程的实施,一所乡村学校发生了巨大的变化。

以前这学校叫做李家庄小学。由于家庭困难交不起学费,大部分学生辍学了。那座仅有的危房要用来做教室。所有的教师们共住一间。操场上除了空地什么也没有。

现在情况可不同了。辍学儿童都回校继续学习。一座双层的教学楼直立在校园内。有音乐室、美术室、还有教学用的电脑室。学校的体育器材配备精良。

希望工程给李家庄小学带来了极大的利益。出自这种原因,学校改名为“希望小学”。

参考译文:I,

May I have your attention, please? I have something to tell you. There will be a lecture in the school auditorium at 2:00 pm. December 8,Friday. The lecture will be given by Mr. Zhang Li from the People’s Daily. He is going to speak about the Sino-American relations. Everybody is required to be present. Please listen attentively and take notes. If anybody has a question, please write it down on a slip of paper and pass it to the speaker. After the lecture, we’ll have a discussion in class.

Don’t be late.

That’s all. Thank you!

II,

Dear editor,

In the past my hometown used to be a beautiful place. Thick trees and green grass could be seen everywhere. In order to build houses and grow more crops, people cut down more and more trees. As time went on, the whole forest was almost destroyed. Gradually, the green hills have changed into wasteland and the river has dried. As a result, sandstorms struck us now and then, from which we suffered a lot. So, I do hope all the people should realize the terrible result of not caring about our environment. What’s more, we should take good care of the forests and plant more trees instead of cutting them down so as to improve our living conditions.

III,

As we step into the computer age, we find our lives more and more connected with computers. There are thousands of learning software and computer games and new ones are coming each day.

However, different people make different use of computers. In my school, lots of students have made rapid progress in their

study with the help of computer-based learning programs. Meanwhile, some students find it hard to pull themselves away from computer games, which makes them fall far behind their classmates in their study. Some even have dropped out of school.

In my opinion, we’d make best use of computers. Computers can broaden our knowledge as well as our minds. We shouldn’t ruin ourselves by burying ourselves into playing computer games.

IV,

Thanks to the Hope project, great changes have taken place in a country school.

This school used to be called Lijiazhuang School. Most of its pupils left school because their families were too poor to pay for their education. The only unsafe schoolhouse had to be used as classrooms. And all the teachers shared one room. The playground was nothing but an open land.

Things are different now. All the children who left school have come to continue their studies. In the schoolyard stands a two-storeyed teaching building. There are rooms for music, art and computer teaching. The school is well equipped with sports goods.

英汉翻译评析(附参考译文)

英汉翻译讲解(1) I.英汉之间的差别: “对于中国学生最有用的帮助是让他认识英语和汉语的差别。”------吕叔湘 国内学者的共识是:汉语是综合性的,描写性的,而英语是分析性的,逻辑性的。在语言学上最重要的区别在于形合和意合的对比(contrast between hypotaxis and parataxis),英语重形合(形式上的融合),汉语重意合(意思或意境的融合)。在句法方面,有学者形象地把英汉比喻为以下几种: 1.雄孔雀/雄狮-----即英语习惯于把最着重的事物放在句首先说出来,开门见山,一语破的,然后再把各种标志一条条补述,一步步交代,慢条斯理,从容不迫,形成一条头短尾长地线性链,象头小尾大地雄孔雀。而汉语则相反,其线性序列的展开好比画龙点睛,先把外围的环境与衬托一一交代周到,最后点出话语的信息中心,水到渠成,给人以豁然开朗之感,形成雄狮型头大尾小地局式。 例如:I was all the more delighted when, as a result of the initiative of your Government it proved possible to reinstate the visit so quickly. 译文:由于贵国政府的提议,才得以这样快地重新实现访问。这使我感到特别高兴。 又如:The assertion that it was difficult, if not impossible, for a people to enjoy its basic rights unless it was able to determine freely its political status and to ensure freely its economic, social and cultural development was now scarcely (不足地,不充分地;一定不,绝不)contested (斗争;比赛). 译文:如果一个民族不能自由地决定其政治地位,不能自由地保证其经济、社会和文化的发展,要享受其基本权利,即使不是不可能,也是不容易的。这一论断几乎是无可置辩的了。 2.葡萄/竹竿-----即把英语句子比作“葡萄型”结构,葡萄主干很短,其上附结着丰硕的果实。而汉语句子则较短,一个短句接一个短句地往下叙述,逐步展开,内容像竹竿一样一节一节展开,常称为“竹竿型”结构。 She was beautiful, with long dark hair and brilliant green eyes.她长得很美,一头乌黑亮丽的长发,一双晶莹明亮的绿色眼睛。 She has smooth akin as pale and iridescent as the moon shining over a snow-covered landscape.她光滑的肌肤白里透红,宛如皎洁的月光洒在茫茫血地上。 3.多枝共干----英语句子中还有两个或几个动词共受一个状语修饰,共有一个主语或宾语,或者两个或几个状语共同修饰一个动词,两个或几个主语或宾语共一个动词,这就好比几根树枝长在同一根树干上,我们称为“多枝共干”式结构。 4.也有学者认为英语是一种弥漫着“男子气”的语言。逻辑性、组织性和理性是以英语为母语的民族的思维支撑点,从而就形成了英语的“阳刚之美”。而汉语自有汉语之美。汉语不注重对客观现实作符合逻辑的形式的描摹,不执着于形式结构的规范,中国人的思维支撑点似乎更具有抽象,深邃和疏放的取向,由此繁衍生出的是显赫的暗示和幽远的意境从而形成汉语的“阴柔之美”。汉语的魅力在于她的流散和疏放,系于她超凡的暗示力和意境性。所以汉语的形式机制很弱,主谓宾没有形式标定,主谓间关系松散,宾语无定格,无定位,主语的超句承接功能很强。 如果说汉语是一种“人治”语言,那么,英语则是一种“理性”语言。汉语能化逻辑为内在,英语则必须将逻辑外化,化作种种行合的标记,化作启转承合的纽带。英语语法规范森严,理性十足;英语形式逻辑缜密,滴水不漏。 5.汉语是一种意境语言,一种艺术语言。寥寥数词,就能出意境,出氛围,出画面。

英汉翻译评析

评:在最后一句“回眸一笑百媚生,六宫粉黛无颜色”中,译者将“百媚”翻 译为“ full of grace ” ,在此处应取“ eleganee and beauty of movement expression , a beautiful figure which she used in subtle movements unparalleled grace ”这一义,我认为此处强调的是“媚”这个字,这种美是无 人能比的,以至于六宫粉黛无颜色,所以在翻译之时,可以把这种媚翻译成魅 力,而且是“百媚”,此处“百”又不是真的“ hundred ”,而是一种“ end beauty, end of charm ”。 评:最后一句“六宫”翻译成six places 非常生硬,感觉没有体现中国古典文 化中六宫的含义。同时fairest face 也太过于字面化,没有什么美感。回眸直 接翻译为turning her head 也是过于直接,体现不出古典诗歌所要表达的美。 or of of 评:第二句杨家有女初长成中, womanhood just grow ,womanhood 略感多余,前面已经用 了 maiden ,意透露性别信息,无需再次强调女性身份,第三句中天生丽质难自弃,用 en dowed with n atural beauty, en dow 之嫌,一朝选在君王侧翻作 selected for the mon arch' 妃,回眸一笑百媚生,六宫粉黛无颜色有承接关系,觉得, 已有天生具有的意思,再用 natural 强调原生有语义赘余 s side,太过直译,可以意译为入宫为 that 放入前半句更好, that she turns her head, with a sweet and grace smile 。 评:诗歌标题“长恨歌”并非表达一种真正的恨意和痛苦, 的遗憾和悔恨。“ regret ”正好有“悔恨,遗憾”之意,“ 而是指唐明皇和杨贵妃无法长相厮守 everlasting ”正好表达岀了长久的意 味。许渊冲的翻译避免了直接翻译的直白, 又恰到好处地将两人无法长相厮守的遗憾表达得淋漓 尽致,十分贴切。 《长恨歌》翻译评析 长恨歌 许渊冲译 The Everlast ing Regret 汉皇重色思倾国,御宇多年求不得。 The beauty-lovi ng mon arch Ion ged year after year To find a beautiful lady without peer. 杨家有女初长成,养在深闺人未识。 A maide n of the Yan gs* to woma nhood just grow n.

汉译英翻译技巧分析解析资料讲解

汉译英翻译技巧 一、分清主从(Subordination) 汉语句中各分句关系比较松散,所以在动笔前应认真分析句子要旨所在。句中重点往往在后。英译时,要突出重点或主句,其他部分可分别用介词短语,非谓语动词形式或各种从句表示。 1、没有农业,人们就不能生存,社会生产就不能继续下去。 Without agriculture, people cannot exist, neither can social production proceed. 2、他们一听到“反霸”就火冒三丈,这充分暴露了他们那霸权主义的蛮横嘴脸。 The fact that they fly into a rage at a mere mention of the expression“anti- hegemony”is enough to reveal their true colours as a domineering hegemonists. 3、有人以为社会主义就了不起,一点缺点也没有,哪有这个事? Some believe that socialism is just perfect, without a single flaw. How can that be true? 4、但是,象我们常说的那样,道路总是曲折的,前途总是光明的。 But as we have often said, while the road ahead is tortuous, the future is bright. 二、选词用字(Diction) 在汉译英时应特别注意选找与原文中在意义上和风味上尽可能都类似的词语。 1、每个民族都有它的长处,不然它为什么能存在?为什么能发展? Every nation has its own strong points. If not, how can it survive? How can it progress? 2、树雄心,立壮志,向科学技术现代化进军。 Foster lofty ideals, set high goals and march forward for the revolution of modernization of science and technology. 3、我国的社会主义建设,需要一个和平的国际环境,需要一个国内安定团结, 天下大治的局面。 For its socialist construction, China needs an international environment of peace and a domestic situation of stability, unity and great order. 4、论技术,她那时还不如我,但思想却比我高得多。 Professionally she was then not yet my equal, but ideologically she was head and shoulders above me. 三、增益(Ampification) 汉译英时的“增益”技巧的运用,有时是为了使英美人理解原文的精确含义,有时是为了遵循英语的行文习惯。 1、交出翻译之前,必须读几遍,看看有没有要修改的地方。这样才能把工作做好。 Before handing in your translation, you have to read it over and over again and see if there anything in it to be corrected or improved. Only then can you do your work well. (英语行文时人称代词,物主代词用得较多) 2、她挑水,生炉子,洗东西,忙个不停。 Fetching water, building the fire, washing --- she had her hands full every minute. (增益为了意译) 3、他们一听说有新任务,就坐不往了。

汉译英的几种翻译技巧

汉译英的几种常用技巧(一)常用的翻译技巧1. 增译2. 减译(省译)3. 重复 4. 转译 5. 语序(词序/句序)调整(倒置) 6. 拆句与合并7. 正说反译, 反说正译8. 语态变换 1.增译法:指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达 方式,在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子,以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。 这种方式多半用在汉译英里。汉语无主句较多,而英语句子一般都要有主语,所以在翻译汉语无主句的时候,除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或“There be…”结构来翻译以外,一般都要根据语境补出主语,使句子完整。英语中代词使用频率较高,凡说到人的器官和归某人所有的或与某人有关的事物时,必须在前面加上物主代词。因此,在汉译英时需要增补物主代词,而在英译汉时又需要根据情况适当地删减。 英语词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子的逻辑关系一般用连词来表示,而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表示这种关系。因此,在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。英语句子离不开介词和冠词。另外,汉译英时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语,以确保译文意思完整。 总之,通过增译,一是保证译文语法结构的完整,二是保证译文意思的明确。 1. I am looking forward to the holidays. 我们等待假日的到

2.Much of our morality is customary. 我们大部分的道德观念都有习惯性。 3.Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. 读书使人充实,讨论使人机智,笔记使人精确。 4.Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. 读史使人明智,读诗使人灵秀,数学使人周密,科学使人深刻,伦理使人庄重,逻辑修辞之学使人善辩。 5. 没有调查研究就没有发言权。 He who makes no investigation and study has no right to speak. (No investigation, no right to speak.) 6. 虚心使人进步, 骄傲使人落后。 Modesty helps one to go forward, whereas conceit makes one lag behind. 7. 留得青山在, 不怕没柴烧。 So long as green hills remain, there will never be a shortage of firewood. 8. 班门弄斧 Showing off one’s proficiency with the axe before Lu Ban the master carpenter. 9. 三个臭皮匠, 顶个诸葛亮。

In the eyes of Chinese people, the quality of artwork is a reflection of the character of its creator. Therefore, playing music, playing chess, practicing calligraphy and painting show one’s culture. By playing music, one does not aim to be a musician but to broaden his horizons and purify his soul. By playing chess, one does not aim to win but to test his patience and sharpen his foresight. By practicing calligraphy, one aims not only to write beautifully but also to cultivate his mind. By painting, one creates his imaginary world with simple lines.

《中国翻译》余光中《尺素寸心》 原文结构: 第一段:回信的痛苦会减少读信时的快乐。 第二段:回信固然痛苦,不回信也未必就快乐。写到不回信的心理挣扎。 第三段:真正要回信时面临的一系列麻烦问题。以及作者对回信和友谊深浅之间的关系的一些思考。 原文印象: 这篇《尺素寸心》字里行间流露着作者余光中丰富的情感和敏锐的观察力以及想象力。读来趣味横生,令人回味无穷。文风诙谐幽默,通俗易懂。从文中可以看出,能写出此种文章的大家一定是对生活有着无比的热情,对人生经历有着深入的思考,对人情世故有着透彻的了解甚至是洞察。 佳句佳译赏析: 1. 接读朋友的来信,尤其是远自海外犹带着异国风云的航空信,确是人生一大快事,如果无需回信的话。 To get letters from friends, especially airmail letters from overseas that bear the stamp of exotic climes, is unquestionably one of life’s greatest pleasures, provided, that is, that they do not call for a reply. 原句就很有意思,前面读来语意流畅完整,直到最后杀出一句“如果无需回信的话”,令读者立刻心生共鸣,感到确实是如此。笔锋由此

一转,便十分明确地点出了本文的中心主题,就是回信的麻烦。说到用词,就是“犹带着异国风云的航空信”很有意思,不同于普通的表达法,而是将信赋之以动感,让人可以联想到一封信的长途跋涉的旅途过程,颇有趣味,这是作者幽默清新文风的一个体现。 译文翻译得很精彩。把“犹带着异国风云”译成“bear the stamp of exotic climes”,此处stamp本意为印记,标志,在这里要联系上下文进行适当的增词,虽然原文没有明确说明“印记”一词,但字里行间的意思正式如此,因此这是“stamp”用得好的原因之一。原因之二就是,“stamp”还有一常见意思为“邮票”,此处有双关之意,信件本来就是附带邮票的,所以此处译得很妙。把“异国风云”译成“exotic climes”也很精准。 2. 久不回信,屡不回信,接信之乐必然就相对减少,以至于无,这时,友情便暂告中断了,直到有一天在赎罪的心情下,你毅然回起信来。 The inevitable consequence of tardiness or infrequency in answering letters is a corresponding reductioning, and ultimate cessation of, the pleasure of receiving letters, in which case friendship is prematurely broken off, until the day in sackcloth and ashes you summon up the willpower to put pen to paper again. 原句中一开始就运用四字四字的小短句,将意思清楚简练地表现出来,又不失文学色彩,令人眼前一亮。此处其实略带文言色彩,不过是采用极简单的方式,因此仍然明白易懂。“毅然”一词用得精妙,
