艰难的国运与雄健的国民

——李大钊

班级:20084242 学号:2008424239 姓名:张颖历史的道路,不会是坦平的,有时走到艰难险阻的境界。这是全靠雄健的精神才能冲过去的。

一条浩浩荡荡的长江大河,有时流到很宽阔的境界,平原无际,一泻万里。有时流到很逼狭的境界,两岸丛山迭岭,绝壁断崖,江河流于期间,回环曲折,极其险峻。民族生命的进展,其经历亦复如是。

人类在历史上的生活正如旅行一样。旅途上的征人所经过的地方,有时是坦荡平原,有时是崎岖险路。志于旅途的人,走到平坦的地方,因是高高兴兴地向前走,走到崎岖的境界,俞是奇趣横生,觉得在此奇绝壮绝的境界,俞能感到一种冒险的美趣。

中华民族现在所逢的史路,是一段崎岖险阻的道路。在这段道路上,实在亦有一种奇绝壮绝的境至,使我们经过此段道路的人,感得一种壮美的趣味,是非有雄健的精神的,不能够感觉到的。

我们的扬子江、黄河,可以代表我们的民族精神,扬子江及黄河遇见沙漠、遇见山峡都是浩浩荡荡的往前流过去,以成其浊流滚滚,一泻万里的魄势。目前的艰难境界,那能阻抑我们民族生命的前进。我们应该拿出雄健的精神,高唱着进行的曲调,在这悲壮歌声中,走过这崎岖险阻的道路。要知在艰难的国运中建造国家,亦是人生最有趣味的事……。

National Crisis vs Heroic Nation

By Li Dazhao

The course of history is never smooth. It is sometimes beset with difficulties and obstacles and nothing short of a heroic spirit can help surmount them.

A mighty long river sometimes flows through a broad section with plains lying boundless on either side, its waters rolling on non-stop for thousands upon thousands of miles. Sometimes it comes up against a narrow section flanked by high mountains and steep cliffs, winding through a course with many a perilous twist and turn. A nation, in the course of its development, fares likewise.

The historical course of man’s life is just like a journey. A traveler on a long journey passes through now a broad, level plain, now a rugged, hazardous road. While a determined traveler cheerfully continues his journey upon reaching a safe and smooth place, he finds it still more fascinating to come to a rugged place, the enormously magnificent spectacle of which, he fee ls, is

better able to generate in him a wonderful sensation of adventure.

The Chinese nation is now confronted with a rugged and dangerous section of its historical course. Nevertheless, there is also in this section a spectacle of enormous magnificence that inspires in us passers-by a delightful sensation of splendor. And this delightful sensation, however, can only be shared by those with a heroic spirit.

The Y angtse River and the Y ellow River are both symbolic of our national spirit the two mighty rivers negotiate deserts and gorges until their turbid torrents surge forward with irresistible force. The present national crisis can never obstruct the advance of our national life. Let us brace up our spirits and march through this rugged, dangerous road to the tune of our solemn, stirring songs. The greatest joy of life, mind you, is to build up our country during its most difficult days.

初读这篇文章是在高中,依稀记得老师当时讲了些什么。翻看当时的笔记,语文老师主要从比喻修辞的使用的角度讲的这篇文章。说明历史发展的必然规律以及中国革命面临的艰难险阻。其次是其思想,大概是告诫同学们要有忧患意识和爱国情怀。所幸背下了他,尽管尚未完全读懂李先生的忧国忧民的济世情怀。

首先,将高中时的笔记抄录下来,如有不妥之处还望多多指教。

这篇文章比喻的使用,增强了说理的透辟性、情感的生动性和语言的形象性,使作品的意蕴、文字的含义同时丰富了起来。本文的比喻处处可见,

1)用长江大河比喻民族生命进程;用扬子江黄河比喻中华民族的历史进程;

2)用“浩浩荡荡”比喻中华民族历史势不可挡,一往无前;

3)用“平原无际,一泻万里”比喻中华民族历史的顺利发展;

4)用“回环曲折”“崎岖险阻”比喻中华民族历史所逢的艰难国运;

5)用长江黄河穿沙漠、过山峡比喻中华民族前进中的艰难斗争;

6)用“浊流滚滚,一泻万里”比喻中华民族的光明前途。

再次品味笔记后,我突然明白作者既在说理,在鼓动民众;又在抒情,抒发作者内心的豪情壮志。比喻的运用,如“道路”“境界”“旅途”“征人”“崎岖险阻”等,既有本义,也有比喻义、引申义,意味隽永,值得反复品味。

大二时,张老师向我推荐了《张培基英译中国现代散文选》。出于好奇,当时买来把中文读了个遍便放在书架。随着岁月的流逝渐渐都蒙尘了,准备考研时才发现了它,心中既无赖很欣喜,怀着复杂的心情开始了阅读和背诵。

张培基老先生把这篇文章作为其译作第一篇,足见其高屋建瓴之智慧,同时也体现了他深厚的文化功底与语言积淀。

1)将艰难险阻译作be set with difficulties and obstacles很高明,换做是我可能既已成了be full of 句型了。

2)将“这是全靠雄健的精神才能冲过去的”译为nothing short of a heroic spirit can help surmount them,需要一定的语法知识,因为一般的译者只会注意其型美,直接译成only。但张老先生就是张老先生,直接用nothing short of 代替nothing less than 或only。

3)Surmount,意为战胜,克服,用在此处传神地再现了“冲”的意味。

4)“宽阔的境界”须按上下文译为a broad section,“境界”在这里不宜译为place、area等。5)“一泻万里”出处李大钊《孙中山先生在中国民族革命史上之位置》:“这一条浩浩荡荡的民族革命运动史的洪流,时而显现,时而潜伏,时而迂回旋绕,蓄势不前,时而急转直下,一泻万里。”按照字面意思很难准确译出,需要归化译为rolling on non-stop for thousands upon thousands of miles,而不能译作rolling on non-stop for ten thousand miles也可译为rolling on vigorously for tens of thousands of miles或rolling on for thousands of miles at a stretch。用“平原无际,一泻万里”比喻中华民族历史的发展势不可挡;

6)对于“回环曲折,极其险峻”这两个短语的译法,我参考爱词霸时竟然发现其引用的例句就是张老先生的译法,译为winding through a course with many a perilous twist and turn,其中twist and turn来自成语twists and turns取“坎坷和曲折或迂回曲折”之意。此处比喻修辞的使用道出了中华民族历史所逢的艰难国运,她要不断地穿过高山峡谷,再次呼应前文“历史的道路,不会是坦平的”

7)“征人”给我们的第一感觉是好像是又有战事了,但此处意为“远行之人”,故译“旅途上的征人”为a traveler on a long journey。

8)“有时……,有时……”译为now……now……

我实难理解为什么不用sometimes……and sometimes……结构。

9)“奇趣横生”,不能望文生义,也不能译作从句,用fascinating就可传神地译出其韵味,于此可见中英文在表达上还是存在一定差异的。

10)“感到一种冒险的美趣”给人的感觉是要把“感到”动词意义译出。但张老先生却译成短语结构a wonderful sensation of adventure,意即“一种敢于冒险的美妙感觉”。

11)“遇见沙漠,遇见山峡都是浩浩荡荡的往前流过去,以成其浊流滚滚,一泻万里的魄势”译为negotiate deserts and gorges until their turbid torrents surge forward with irresistible force, 其中动词to negotiate原本以为是“协商谈判”的意思,翻开词典才知道它竟然有“顺利通过”之意, 后悔当时记单词不全面。用“浊流滚滚,一泻万里”比喻中华民族的光明前途,因为历史的潮流不会改变,尽管前进途中有挫折和艰难险阻。

2019考研翻硕张培基散文笔记

《雾》 Fog 茅盾 Mao Dun |译文摘自张培基《英译中国散文选二》 但在白天看来,却就平凡得很。并排的五六个山峰,差不多高低,就只最西的一峰戴着一簇房子,其余的仅只有树;中间最大的一峰竟还有濯濯地一大块,像是癞子头上的疮疤。现在那照例的晨雾把什么都遮没了;就是稍远的电线杆也躲得毫无影踪。In the daytime,however,it was all prosaic.The five or six peaks forming the front row were about the same height.The westernmost one had on top a cluster of houses while the rest were topped by nothing but trees.The highest one in the middle had on it a large piece of barren land,like the scar on a favus-infected human head.Now,as usual,the morning fog had shut out everything completely,including the not-too-distant wire poles. 要点: 1,“并排的五六个山峰”多重定语,分前后,其中表状态的“并排的”可以后置,译为The five or six peaks forming the front row 2,“中间最大的一峰”中表位置的“中间“可以后置译为The highest one in the middle 3,“濯濯”指山坡上光秃秃的样子,译为barren land 4,“癞子头”是指黄廯感染的头,译为favus-infected human head 4,文中出现多次表示“遮盖”的词,译者根据不同语境,分别用了veil,shut out, shroud,obliterate作同义替换,记得总结哦 综述: 本段重点依旧在于多重定语的翻译,表位置和状态的定语可以后置译为状语~ 渐渐地太阳光从浓雾中钻出来了。那也是可怜的太阳呢!光是那样的淡弱。随后它也躲开,让白茫茫的浓雾吞噬了一切,包围了大地。

实用英汉翻译教案(第一)

1. 翻译的定义 1) To render in another language. --American Heritage Dictionary 转换成另一种语言。--《韦氏大词典》 2) “Translation is the expression in one language (or target language 译入语) of what has been expressed in another language (source language 原语), preserving semantic and stylistic equivalences.”–Dubois 3) “把一种语言的文字用另一种语言表达出来”--《辞海》、《现代汉语词典》 翻译是许多语言活动中的一种,它是用一种语言形式把另一种语言形式里的内容重新表现出来的语言实践活动。这一活动分为口头和书面两种形式,有时在不同的语言之间进行,有时在同一国家的不同民族和地区之间进行,这种实践活动更多的应用于前者。 2. 翻译的目的 翻译作为一门课程,其目的就是在掌握汉语和英语这两种语言的基础上,结合不断的翻译实践,学习翻译的各种技巧,提高翻译水平。翻译是较高层次的一门课程,其主要对象为英汉两种语言都达到了相当水平的学生和自学者。因此通过翻译,对已掌握的听说读写的能力可以进行一次全方位的检验,找出漏洞,弥补不足,并使这些能力在应用中得到巩固和提高。学习英语的主要目的是搞翻译,而翻译又可以反过来进一步促进学习。 3. 翻译的历史 1)Translation in Bible On the history of translation there is a central paradigm in the western countries. That is the history of translation in the Bible, the most translated book in the world. Now the whole earth had one language and few words. And as men migrated from the east, they found a plain in the land of Shinar and settled there… Then they said, ―Come, let us build ourselves a city, and a tower with its top in the heavens, and let us make a name for ourselves, lest (otherwise) we be scattered abroad upon the face of the whole earth.‖And the Lord came down to see the city and the tower, which the sons of men had built. And the Lord said, ―Behold, they are one people, and they have all one language; and this is only the beginning of what they will do; and nothing that they propose to do will now be impossible for them. Come, let us go down, and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.‖ So the lord scattered them abroad from there over the face of all the earth, and they left off building the city. Therefore its name was called Babel, because there the Lord confused the language of all the earth; and from there the Lord scattered them abroad over the face of the earth. 上帝造人之后,赐福于人,人们安居乐业。然后,一群无聊人士希望后世记住这个时代,决心合力修建一座通天高塔,即Babel Tower。上帝恐慌,不希望这个奇观建成,于是让人们分化成不同的语言,令其不能交流。之后,因为沟通不畅,工程被迫放弃,而且人类从此不再团结,因为语言不通而分化成不同部落,并由于沟通问题,经常发生战乱,因此再无力撼动上帝的权威。巴别塔就是通天塔,比喻不可能完成的工程,也表示变乱(人类不再团结)。拜Lord所赐,我们今天要拼命学英语,外国人也要受汉语煎熬。而且,各种分歧,甚至战争,都或多或少由语言文化沟通不良引发。 2) Translation in China Actually the earliest translation can be dated back to ancient time.

张培基《英汉翻译教程》第2讲: 关于译者 关于译者 要保证翻译质量,一个好的译者必须具备一定的自身条件。首先,对于本民族语的语言文字他必须有扎实的功底。这一点往往容易被人忽视。翻译的过程包括理解原文和表达原文。译者如果不能很好地掌握汉语,在中译外时就不能正确地理解原文,在外译中时就无法熟练地运用母语来表现原文。因对自己的母语理解失当而导致错译的例子很多。例如,有人把“我是和尚打伞。”译成:“I am a lone monk walking the world with a leaky umbrella.”(Time December 5,1994 p.37)。这显然是对“和尚打伞,无法无天。”这个歇后语不理解造成的。正确的翻译应该是:“I am a monk under an umbrella, defying laws human and divine.”。必要时,还可以加上注释。在外译中时,有时原文的意思理解了,却发现无法准确地表达。请看下面这句话的两种译文: Subways, sewers and other underground passage-ways must be blocked to preventunobserved access into inner city. 译文1:地铁、下水道和其他地下通道必须堵死,以防不被发现而进入城市内。 译文2:对地铁、下水道和其他地下道必须严密封锁,以防敌人潜入市内。 不难看出,译文1表达不准确、欠通顺,译文2则比较准确通顺。由此可见,对母语的理解能力和表达能力直接影响到了翻译质量的好坏。 其次,好的译者必须具备较高的外国语言文字水平。这一点毋庸质疑。好的译文要求译者不光要掌握全面的外语语法知识,还要有很大的词汇量,否则必将影响翻译质量。请看下面这句话的两种译文: Everything seemed to be cut and dry in the minister''s office. 译文1:在部长办公室里,一切似乎都是一刀切齐枯燥无味。 译文2:在部长办公室里,一切似乎都很呆板。 译文1是错误的,“be cut and dry”这一成语指“一切都很少变化”,因此译文2才是准确的。这说明,如果译者缺乏外语素养,翻译质量也同样得不到基本的保证。 第三,除了对两种语言文字的掌握以外,对两种语言的文化相关背景知识要有足够的了解。相关文化背景知识包罗万象,有历史、地理、政治、经济、科学、风俗习惯等等。光在语言上下功夫,而忽略了不同文化背景造成的文化差异,容易导致错译、乱译。随着国际交往的深入,越来越多的人们意识到在跨文化交际当中,由于对异国文化的不了解,已经阻碍了跨文化交际的顺利进行。这一点表现在翻译上尤为明显。同一国家的不同时期,其文化背景也有差异,译者切不可掉以轻心,不求甚解,胡乱翻译。一定要联系年代、地域和其他相关背景来理解原文。如有疑问还可以查阅有关资料和工具书,甚至发e-mail向native speaker 请教。例如,five o''clock shadow到底是什么?是“五点钟的阴影”吗?当然不是。查一下《新英汉美国小百科》就知道是指男子的络腮胡子,早上刮干净后到下午五点有长出的胡子茬。更可怕的是有些译者自以为是中国人就一定会了解中国文化,于是就想当然,随意翻译。如有些正规出版物中,把“八大山人”译为“eight famous recluse monks ”,实际上,
