高级英语2 课文翻译 Book 2 Unit 12

第十二课一个发现：做一个美国人意味着什么 詹姆斯·鲍德温 1．亨利·詹姆斯曾经说过，“身为一个美国人是一种复杂玄妙的命运。”而一位作家在欧洲做出的最重大的发现就是这种命运究竟复杂到何种程度。美国的历史，其远大志向，其不同凡响的辉煌成就，还有她那更加不同凡响的挫折失败，以及她在世界上的地位——不论是过去还是现在——都是那么深不可测而又无可更改地独一无二，以至于“美国”这个词至今仍是一个陌生的、几乎可以说是完全没有明确定义的、且具有极大争议性的专有名词。世界上似乎还没有人确切地知道这个词的含义，就连我们这些五颜六色、千千万万自称为美国人的人也不例外。 2．我当初离开美国是因为我曾怀疑自己能否经受住这儿的有色人种问题的狂风暴雨的冲击。(现在我仍然时不时地这样怀疑。)我想使自己不至于仅仅成为一个黑人，或是仅仅只成为一个黑人作家。我想寻求一种什么途径，来使自己的生活经历的特殊性把自己与他人联系起来而不是分离开来。(我同黑人之间也产生了隔阂，就像我同白人之间的隔阂一样严重，当一个黑人开始真正地相信白人对黑人的评价时，常常就会发生这样的情况。) 3．在我认为有必要去寻求一种能把我的生活经历同别的人——黑人和白人，作家和非作家——的生活经历联系起来的途径的过程中，我惊奇地发现：自己原来也同任何得克萨斯州士兵一样，是非常爱国的美国人。而且我发现，我在巴黎所认识的每一位美国作家都有我这种感受。他们都同我一样脱离了自己的本源，而且事实证明，这些美国白人的欧洲本源同我的非洲本源竟没有多少差别——他们在欧洲也像我一样感到不自在。 4．我是奴隶的后代，而他们是自由人的子孙，这种差异则无关紧要。因为我们在欧洲大地上相遇时，都在努力探求着各自的自我价值。当我们终于发现各自的自我价值之后，我们似乎都在感慨：这下可好啦，多少年来造成我们之间的隔阂的遗憾和痛苦之情，我们可再也不用死抱住不放了。 5．我们美国人彼此间的相互了解超过任何欧洲人所能达到的程度。这一点在本国不曾有人认识到，但一到欧洲，我们便认识得很清楚了。还有一点也显得很清楚：不论我们的祖先源于何处，也不管他们曾有过什么样的遭遇，我们美国黑人和白人都是欧洲造就出来的。这一事实就是我们的身分以及我们的遗传特征的组成部分。 6．在我认清这些之前，我在巴黎呆了两三年的时间。：待到认清这些之后，我就像许多前辈作家发现他的生活支柱全部被人拆掉了一样，遭受了一种精神崩溃的痛苦，不得不到瑞士的高山上去疗养。在那一片晶莹的雪山景色中，我以两张贝西·史密斯的唱片和一台打字机为工具，开始试图把自己孩提时代最初体验到的，多年来又一直想尽力忘却的生活经历再现出来。 7．是贝西·史密斯用她的音调和节拍帮我发掘出了当我还是个黑人小孩时本就使用过的说话口吻，使我重新忆起了小时闻、所见和所感。我已将这些深深藏在了心底。在美国，

翻译课12组翻译译文

翻译课12组翻译译文 分类：资料下载2007-09-17 10:45 Group One:Clause 1．商业人士认为,更加难以证实的是他们主持着的生产力革命是否真实存在。 2．审计员完全有理由相信，那些有明确目标而且知道如何实习那目标的科学家没有必要分心走神：一边关注点钞机，一边还要关注显微镜。 3．我发现，放弃“忙碌应对生活”的信念而选择“低调生活”这种做法所带来的回报要比经济上的成功和社会地位的提高更大；凯尔西长期经受巨大的压力，因而辞去了《她》杂志主编的职务——这一举动受到公众的广泛关注，她终将发现这一点。 4．这种着眼于顾客的方法就是人们所知的营销观念，这种营销观念其简单之意就是：制造商和经销商并不是试图出售最容易生产或转售的产品，而是首先尽力发现顾客想购买的商品，然后着手生产这些商品以便顾客购买。 5．一名包装学专家解释说，他可以通过把粗糖装进漂亮的罐中，或是使一个装五盎司的瓶子看上去可以装八盎司的东西，就可以使粗糖的价格涨二点五倍，即从一美元涨到二点五美元时，他实际上是在告诉公众，包装可能是一种非常费钱的奢侈品。 6．还有解释说，正是由于我们本能地对人类十分了解，所以没有科学地研究这些直觉的动力：对于一些明显的事，人们为什么要建立一种理论，再进行系统地观察或是作一些预言呢？7．“苹果是落到地面而不是落向树上”这一事实回答了他过去一直在问自己的问题——有关天空中那些更大的果实（月亮和行星）的问题。 8．由于越来越多的证据表明红色行星上曾经含有大量稳定的液态水，由于人们对细菌化石是火星上的一块陨石带到地球上的这种观念争议不休，因此，有关该行星上是否曾经存在生命以及生命是否持续到今天的争论更加激烈。 9．生产商通过改变包装大小以减少罐头所装产品的数量从而提高产品的单价，这样他可以不费吹灰之力将其产品装入盒子、袋子和罐头中，这些盒子、袋子和罐头可以装四盎司、八盎司、一磅以及两磅质量的早餐食品、混合好了的蛋糕等。 10．并且用于培训工人的有限投资也只是片面地用于培训做下一项工作所需的特殊技能， 而不是用于培训能够吸收新技术的基本技能。 11．我们将面临这样的情况：这些词典的许多使用者至少会有不同的社会文化见解，而且 很可能会有与西方社会完全不同的、甚至是对立的世界观。 12．但是，我现在所担心的更少的是基本文化教育这个压倒性问题，而更多的是中级读者 阅读能力下降这个更突出的问题，是这类读者不愿意腾出宁静的空间、不愿意浪费家庭生活、时间以及精力，所有这些都充满传统阅读的行为映像。 13．比如，如果美国的工人在学习如何操作新式、灵活的制造设备（正如他们所做的一样）时比德国的工人花的时间长得多，那么，这些新制造设备的利用成本在德国就比在美国要低。14．有多少历史学家就几乎有多少有关对历史学的定义，但是现代史学家的实践最趋向于

烟，无法相信（这一切）。我觉着我能够活着很幸运。 大约10年之后，2011年2月21日，我早上10：00 醒来意识到我的闹钟根本没响。我从床上跳起来直奔机场。但是当我到达机场时，我飞往新西兰的航班已经起飞了。“这可是我今年的第一个假期，我居然误了航班。真倒霉！”我暗想。其他的航班都已经满员，我不得不等到第二天。（结果）第二天早上,我听到新西兰昨天发生了地震。我的坏运气意想不到变成了一件好事。 Section B 2b 愚人节是一个世界上许多不同国家都进行庆祝的节日。它在每年的四月一日，这是一个许多人会互相开各种玩笑或恶作剧的日子。 有一年的愚人节，英国的一位记者宣称因为意大利农民停止种植意大利面条，因此以后将不再有意大利面条了。许多人都跑到当地超市尽可能多地买意大利面。等人们意识到这是一个恶作剧的时候，全国所有的意大利面条都被卖光了。在英国另一个恶作剧中，一电视节目报道发现了一种特殊的水。他们说这种水可以帮助人们减肥，有一位消费者仅四个月就减掉了很多体重。（结果）当天结束之前，超过10,000人打电话到电视台，询问如何得到这种水。 许多愚人节的玩笑的结局并不那么有趣。一位著名的电视明星曾经在愚人节邀请他的女朋友上他的电视节目。他向她求婚。那位女士是如此的高兴因为她真的想结婚了。然而,当她说好的时候，他却回答“愚人节傻瓜！”那个小玩笑结局并不快乐。电视明星失去了他的女朋友和他的节目也被取消了。

(完整版)Unit12GenderBiasinLanguage课文翻译综合教程一

Unit 12 Gender Bias in Language Language is a very powerful element. It is the most common method of communication. Yet it is often misunderstood and misinterpreted, for language is a very complicated mechanism with a great deal of nuance. There are times when in conversation with another individual, that we must take into account the person’s linguistic genealogy. There are people who use language that would be considered prejudicial or biased in use. But the question that is raised is in regard to language usage: Is language the cause of the bias or is it reflective of the preexisting bias that the user holds? There are those who believe that the language that we use in day-to-day conversation is biased in and of itself. They feel that the term "mailman", for example, is one that excludes women mail carriers. Then there are those who feel that language is a reflection of the prejudices that people have within themselves. That is to say, the words that people choose to use in conversation denote the bias that they harbor within their own existence. There are words in the English language that are existing or have existed (some of them have changed with the new wave of “political correctness” coming about) that have inherently been sexually biased against women. For example, the person who investigates reported complaints (as from consumers or students), reports findings, and helps to achieve fair and impartial settlements is ombudsman (Merriam-Webster Dictionary), but ombudsperson here at Indiana State University. This is an example of the gender bias that exists in the English language. The language is arranged so that men are identified with exalted positions, and women are identified with more service-oriented positions in which they are being dominated and instructed by men. So the language used to convey this type of male supremacy is generally reflecting the honored position of the male and the subservience of the female. Even in relationships, the male in the home is often referred to as the “man of the house,” even if it is a 4-year-old child. It is highly insulting to say that a 4-year-old male, based solely on his gender, is more qualified and capable of conducting the business and affairs of the home than his possibly well-educated, highly intellectual mother. There is a definite disparity in that situation. In American culture, a woman is valued for the attractiveness of her body, while a man is valued for his physical strength and his achievements. Even in the example of word pairs the bias is evident. The masculine word is put before the feminine word, as in the examples of Mr. and Mrs., his and hers, boys and girls, men and women, kings and queens, brothers and sisters, guys and dolls, and host and hostess. This shows that the usage of many of the English words is also what contributes to the bias present in the English language. Alleen Pace Nilsenn notes that there are instances when women are seen as passive while men are active and bring things into being. She uses the example of the wedding ceremony. In the beginning of the ceremony, the father is asked who gives the bride away and he answers, “I do.” It is at this point that Nilsen argues that the gender bias comes into play. The traditional concept of the bride as something to be handed from one man (the father) to another man (the husband-to-be) is perpetuated. Another example is in the instance of sexual relationships. The women become

Eg 3:It was a curious exchange, less a debate than a quarrel between two aggressive men, each of them determined to impress the audience as more peaceful than the other. 这是一次奇妙的交谈，与其说是两个好斗的人之间的一场辩论，还不如说是一次吵嘴，双方都竭力想使听众觉得自己比对方更爱和平。 Eg 4: However, this is not so much a weakness in his work as it is the inevitable result of scholars’ neglect of this period. 然而，这与其说是他作品中的弱点，倒不如说是学者们忽略对这个时期的研究而造成的必然结果。 （2）no more … than, not any more than Eg 1: The heart is no more intelligent than the stomach, for they are both controlled by the brain. 心脏和胃一样无智力可言，因为它们都是由大脑控制的。 Eg 2: No one can hold back the tide of revolution any more than a man with a broom can hold a flood that has burst the dam. 任何人都无法阻挡革命洪流，正如一个人不能拿着扫帚挡住决堤的洪水一样。 Eg 3:The archaeologists’ efforts are not directed at proving the correctness of the Bible any more than belief in God can be scientifically demonstrated. 考古学家的努力并不是要“验证”圣经的正确性，正如信仰上帝不能从科学上证明一样。 （3）rather than

声巨响。我还没来得及加入屋外的人群弄清究竟发生了什么事，第一架飞机已经撞上了我办公室的大楼。我们直愣愣盯着燃烧着的大楼上升起的黑烟，无法相信（这一切）。我觉着我能够活着很幸运。 大约10年之后，2011年2月21日，我早上10：00 醒来意识到我的闹钟根本没响。我从床上跳起来直奔机场。但是当我到达机场时，我飞往新西兰的航班已经起飞了。“这可是我今年的第一个假期，我居然误了航班。真倒霉！”我暗想。其他的航班都已经满员，我不得不等到第二天。（结果）第二天早上,我听到新西兰昨天发生了地震。我的坏运气意想不到变成了一件好事。 Section B 2b 愚人节是一个世界上许多不同国家都进行庆祝的节日。它在每年的四月一日，这是一个许多人会互相开各种玩笑或恶作剧的日子。有一年的愚人节，英国的一位记者宣称因为意大利农民停止种植意大利面条，因此以后将不再有意大利面条了。许多人都跑到当地超市尽可能多地买意大利面。等人们意识到这是一个恶作剧的时候，全国所有的意大利面条都被卖光了。在英国另一个恶作剧中，一电视节目报道发现了一种特殊的水。他们说这种水可以帮助人们减肥，有一位消费者仅四个月就减掉了很多体重。（结果）当天结束之前，超过10,000人打电话到电视台，询问如何得到这种水。 许多愚人节的玩笑的结局并不那么有趣。一位著名的电视明星曾经在愚人节邀请他的女朋友上他的电视节目。他向她求婚。那位女士是如此的高兴因为她真的想结婚了。然而,当她说好的时候，

翻译实训十二

翻译实训十二 第二节句群的翻译 通过以上各讲的学习，我们对英汉语言在句子层次上的差异已经有了一个比较明晰的认识。但是真正的翻译实践的基本着眼点却不应该是句子，而应该是语篇。所谓语篇，指的是按照一定交际目的结合在一起的若干句子或者句群。为了讲述的方便，我们把包含一个以上句子的句群作为语篇翻译的对象。 句群也叫语段，是在语义上有逻辑关系、在语法上有紧密联系、在结构上衔接连贯的一群句子的组合。由于在这个层次内各句子之间有以上紧密的关系，所以割裂地翻译单个句子而不考虑句群将可能导致行文不畅甚至错误的翻译。5．2．1 句群的理解 要正确理解一个句群的意义，尤其需要注意事件的逻辑和时间关系。请看下面例子： "It's a gloomy thing, however, to talk about one's own past, with the day breaking. Turn me in some other direction before I go." "不过，在天亮时谈个人的往事，真扫兴。在我离开以前，把我转到别的方向吧。" "把我转到别的方向"是什么意思？真让人不知所云。实际上如果联系上文，很容易就可以看出它的真正意思是"谈点别的吧"。 从这个例子中我们可以更进一步认识到，不仅脱离开句子的单个词没有意义，脱离开句群的单个句子的意义也是不容易确定的。所以在翻译中，必须注意上下文对意义的互相制约。 5．2．2 句群的翻译 在正确理解句群的基础上，译者还要注意译文通顺的问题。和第三讲"句子的翻译"中所提到的一样，要保证句群翻译的通顺，需要注意译文的衔接手段的应用。衔接手段主要包括重复、替代、省略等。其中重复是英译汉中最常用的一个语篇衔接手段。英语语篇中的省略、替代等衔接手段在很多情况下都要转变为汉语的重复衔接。例如下面几个例子： By now, a rocket will have set off on its 35 million mile trip to Mars and scientists must be waiting anxiously for the results. The rocket will be travelling for six months before it reaches the planet. 现在，很可能有一枚火箭已经启程登上了飞往火星的3500万英里的航程，科学家们一定在焦急地等待着结果。火箭要飞行6个月才能到达火星。 The underground water is very likely to have dissolved in it materials that help it dissolve certain rock materials. The water dissolved the limestone that was once here and carried most of it away. 地下水很可能含有某些溶解了的物质，这些物质能帮助地下水来溶解某些岩石的物质。因此，地下水溶解了一度曾在这里的石灰石，并将大部分石灰石带走。 在这两个例子中，原文使用了上义词替代的方法，在翻译的时候却根据汉语的习惯进行了还原。下面再看一个例子： Daydreaming, science has discovered, is an effective relaxation technique. But its beneficial effects go beyond this. Experiments show that daydreaming significantly contributes to intellectual growth, powers of
