1.As Eugene Ferguson has pointed out,"A technologist thinks about objects that can not be reduced to unambiguous verbal descriptions:they are dealt with in his mind by a visual,nonverbal process...The designer and the inventor.., are able to assemble and manipulate in their minds devices that as yet do not exist".

[参考译文]正如尤金?弗格森所指出的那样:"一个技术专家思考那些不能被简化成能被清楚的语言描述的东西。这些东西在他的思维中是通过一种视觉的、非语言表述的过程宋处理的……设计者和发明者……能够在他们的脑中装配并*作那些还不存在的装置。

2.Robert Fulton once wrote,"The mechanic should sit down among levers,screws,wedges,wheel,etc,like a poet among the letters of the alphabet,considering them as an exhibition of his thoughts,in which a new arrangement transmits a new idea".

3.In the last three chapters,he takes off his gloves and gives the creationists a good beating.He describes their programs and,tactics,and,for those unfamiliar with the ways of creationists,the extent of their deception and distortion may come as an unpleasant surprise.

考博英语翻译笔记整理版(唐静主讲)

2010考研翻译笔记(主讲:唐静) 一、考研翻译的三大基本问题 (一)考研翻译的解题“奥秘” 做真题,而不是看翻译 做翻译=写汉字 (二)考研翻译的题型、命题原则和考试容 1、题型 ①大的方面:主观题——汉字书写工整 ②小的方面:阅读题 没有必要通读全文 有些情况下,需要阅读划线句子的上下文 划线句子有代词,需要读上下文 2、命题原则 ①体裁偏向学术文献,比较抽象 ②题材偏向文科领域(1998年理科的) ③划线的句子长30个字左右,为长难句 3、考试容=考点 1)考察专有名词、词组和多义词的解释 (1)专有名词 人名、地名、国家名称、术语、组织机构名称(2)专业术语 Big Bang大爆炸理论 inflationary universe theory宇宙膨胀理论(3)学科术语 anthropoloist人类学家 anthropological人类学的 inflationary universe theory宇宙膨胀理论 SARS非典 (4)词组 as……as by means of home appliances家用电器die out灭绝 (5)多义词: school 学派before以前serve起作用 life 生命、生活 (6)熟词生义 set (成套)设备;集、集合 offend 冒犯;排污超标;污染超标particle 粒子(7)生词:超纲词 2)考察一般性翻译技巧,包括词序调整、词义选择 A、词序调整:即改变英语单词在汉语译文中的先后顺序 46)Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed—and perhaps never before has it served so much to connect different peoples and nations as in the recent events in Europe. 在联系不同民族和国家方面,电视也许以前没有像在最近欧洲事件中起如此重大的作用。 例如:I studied very hard in the classroom at 6 every morning. 我每天早晨六点钟在教室认真学习。 B、词义选择:即选择一个单词的意思来翻译,解决单词问题(单词不认识怎么办) 词义选择的方法: a、分析词根、词缀 multimedia 多媒体,传媒determinism 决定论methodology 方法论anthropological 人类学的 b、分析上下文来翻译: ①借生词的上下文来造句 人类有能力______环境(改造/征服/适应)Television is one of the meas.(电视是一种工具/方式/媒介)②借助上下文或根据汉语习惯做同义替换 aspect方面 P1-74) However, the world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable to deal with some of the world's more fascinating and delightful aspects. deal with 处理,解决aspect在这里为“问题” P10-50) In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say “Unit ed we stand, divided we fall” 处理挑战?deal with在这里为“应对/解决” 在应对(面对/解决)如此大规模的挑战的时候,… P1-74) However, the world is so made that elegant systems are in principle unable to deal with some of the world's more fascinating and delightful aspects. 优雅的系统?elegant“完善的、完美的、优良的”3)考察具体句型的翻译 包括定语从句、状语从句、被动结构 (三)考研翻译的方法 直译为主,适当意译直译不等于死译 考研翻译的标准和步骤: 1、标准:准确、通顺、完整;严复:信、达、雅 傅雷:神似;钱钟书:化境 2、衡量的方式:读 3、翻译步骤: 第一步:通读全句、查找连接 第二步:分析成分、划分意群 第三步:选择词义、表达贴切 第四步:适当调整、书写译文 考研翻译步骤例题:P7 61)One difficulty is that / almost all of what is called behavioral science / continues to trace behavior to / states of mind ,feelings ,traits of character ,human nature ,and so on. 第一步:通读全句、查找连接 第二步:分析全句,划分译群 主语:one difficulty 谓语:is that引导的表语从句从句的主语:almost all of what is called behavioral science(被动)谓语:continues 第一个to:不定式的符号第二个to:介词的符号,后接名词4个名词:states of mind ,feelings ,traits of character ,human nature作并列宾语 第三步:选择词义表达 1、one 一个difficulty 困难is 是that almost 几乎all 所有what is called 被称之为behavioral science 行为科学continue 继续trace sth. to sth. ;trace:追踪、跟踪behavior 行为第二个to 到states of mind 心理状态feelings感觉、感情、情感character 性格train 特征human 人类nature大自然;本性and so on 等等 第四步:适当调整、书写译文 2、one 一个difficulty 困难is 是→在于that almost 几乎all 所有what is called 被称之为→所谓的behavioral science 行为科学……(不通顺) 3、one 一个 is 是→在于that almost 几乎what is called 被称之为→所谓的行为科学……(不通顺) 4、将all放在behavioral science 后:一个困难在于所谓的行为科学几乎全部都(加上)continue继续trace sth. to sth. ;trace:追踪、跟踪behavior 行为第二个to 到……(不对劲) 5、第二个to 到换为根据:一个困难在于所谓的行为科学几乎全部都continue继续trace sth. to sth. ;trace:追踪、跟踪behavior 行为第二个to 根据……(还不对劲) 6、第二个to 根据放到trace跟踪前:一个困难在于所谓的行为科学几乎全部都根据心理状态情感性

考博英语翻译策略

2012年考博考试英语翻译策略 无论是英汉翻译,还是汉英翻译,就翻译的过程而言,只有两个:一是对原文的理解,二是用译文来表达。 汉英翻译三步策略之一:定主语 1.翻译的单位 在翻译中,最小的翻译单位是什么?是篇章吗?是段落吗?是句子吗?是单词吗?甚至是音节吗?这是一个翻译理论家长期以来争论不休的一个话题。现在大多数翻译家、翻译理论家和翻译实践家都趋向于以篇章或者是整个问题为基本的翻译单位。但是,对于初学翻译的人来说,或者那些根本没有掌握翻译的人,要去应付一个翻译考试的时候,笔者认为,句子可能是最好的翻译单位。 什么是句子?或者具体说来,在汉英翻译中,要把汉语翻译成英语,究竟什么是英语的句子? 柯林斯词典对英语句子的定义是这样的:A sentence is a group of words which,when they are written down,begin with a capital letter and end with a full stop,question mark or exclamation mark. Most sentences contain a subject and a verb.具体说来,英语的句子可以这样来定义:一个句子就是一组词,在书面语中,每一个句子首词的第一个字母大写,句末用句号、问号或者感叹号;大多数句子有主语和谓语。 根据英语句子的定义,我们可以清楚的知道,英语的句子中,大多数句子都有主语和谓语。那么汉英翻译,只要我们能把汉语转变成为准确通顺的英语,就需要搭建英语的主语和谓语等句式结构。而英语本身语法非常严谨,逻辑非常严密的特点,所以,在汉英翻译中,主语的确定和谓语的选择就是成功构建英语句式结构的关键,也是保证英语译文和汉语原文功能对等的关键。 2.确定汉语原文的主语为英语译文的主语 1)把汉语原文中的主语直接翻译成英语充当译文的主语,这是一种最简单、最可靠的对应方法,也是我们做汉英翻译“定主语”的时候首先应该考虑的方法。如: 例1.当前,国际形势正经历着自冷战结束以后最复杂、最深刻的变化。(中国

考博英语翻译真题汇总(汉译英-英译汉)

我的一个好朋友最近接受了白血病测试。她对我说,最令人痛苦的折磨就是苦苦等待测试结果的那一周时间。我朋友说,她可能会学着直面坏结果。但真正让人煎熬焦虑的是那种茫然的感觉。 孟克(Edvard Munch)的名画《呐喊》哈佛大学心理学家吉尔伯特(Daniel Gilbert)不久前在《纽约时报》(New York Times)的专栏中写道,不知道要发生什么坏事比知道什么坏事要发生的感觉更糟。我们大多数人之所以会夜不能寐、抽烟发泄,并不是因为道琼斯指数要再跌1000点,而是因为我们不知道道指会不会下跌──不确定的感觉比不确定的事情本身更折磨人。【英文】 A close friend of mine recently underwent tests for leukemia. The most agonizing part of the ordeal, she said, was the week-long wait for the test results. A bad outcome she could learn to cope with, my friend said. It was the not knowing, the uncertainty, that was so difficult. 'People feel worse when something bad might occur than when something bad will occur,' wrote Harvard psychologist Daniel Gilbert in a recent New York Times op-ed. 'Most of us aren't losing sleep and sucking down Marlboros because the Dow is going to fall another thousand points, but because we don't know whether it will fall or not ─ and human beings find uncertainty more painful than the things they're uncertain about.'

2013年 同济大学 考博英语翻译原文

同济大学2013年考博英语翻译 I am far from thinking, that all those, who have depreciated our species, have been enemies to virtue, and have exposed the frailties of their fellow creatures with any bad intention. On the contrary, I am sensible that a delicate sense of morals, especially when attended with a splenetic temper, is apt to give a man a disgust of the world, and to make him consider the common course of human affairs with too much indignation. I must, however, be of opinion, that the sentiments of those,who are inclined to think favourably of mankind, are more advantageous to virtue, than the contrary principles, which give us a mean opinion of our nature. When a man is prepossessed with a high notion of his rank and character in the creation, he will naturally endeavour to act up to it, and will scorn to do a base or vicious action, which might sink him below that figure which he makes in his own imagination. Accordingly we find, that all our polite and fashionable moralists insist upon this topic, and endeavour to represent vice as unworthy of man, as well as odious in itself. We find few disputes, that are not founded on some ambiguity in the expression; and I am persuaded, that the present dispute, concerning the dignity or meanness of human nature, is not more exempt from it than any other. It may, therefore, be worth while to consider, what is real, and what is only verbal, in this controversy.

北京师范大学考博英语翻译试题及其解析

北京师范大学考博英语翻译试题及其解析Investigators of monkey’s social behavior have always been struck by monkeys’aggressive potential and the consequent need for social control of their aggressive behavior.Studies directed at describing aggressive behavior and the situations that elicit it,as well as the social mechanisms that control it,were therefore among the first investigations of monkeys’social behavior. Investigators initially believed that monkeys would compete for any resource in the environment:hungry monkeys would fight over food, thirsty monkeys would fight over water,and,in general,at time more than one monkey in a group sought the same incentive simultaneously, a dispute would result and would be resolved through some form of aggression.However,the motivating force of competition for Geng duo yuan xiao wan zheng kao bo ying yu zhen ti ji qi jie xi qing lian xi quan guo mian fei zi xun dian hua:si ling ling liu liu ba liu jiu qi ba,huo jia zi xun qq:qi qi er liu qi ba wu san qi incentives began to be doubted when experiments like Southwick’s on the reduction of space or the withholding of food failed to produce more than temporary increases in intragroup aggression.Indeed,food deprivation not only failed to increase aggression but in some cases actually resulted in decreased frequencies of aggression. Studies of animals in the wild under conditions of extreme food deprivation likewise revealed that starving monkeys devoted almost all available energy to foraging,with little energy remaining for aggressive interaction.Furthermore,accumulating evidence from

考博英语翻译笔记

考博英语翻译笔记 倒装和分割结构 为了强调句子的某些部分,或是为了保持句子平衡,英语中常常使用倒装。大体说来,倒装可以分为主谓倒装和非主谓倒装。主谓倒装里又分为完全倒装和部分倒装。在翻译的时候,既可以按照主谓语的顺序翻译,也可以按照字面意思翻译。非主谓倒装只是将强调部分前置,以保持句子平衡或是起强调作用。翻译时可以采用顺序译法或是倒序译法。 1. For example, they do not compensate for social inequality, and thus do not tell how able an underprivileged youngster might have been had he grown up under more favorable circumstances. 分析:本句中had he grown up under more favorable circumstances 属于部分倒装。正常语序为:if he had grown up under more favorable circumstances 。在正式文体中,可以将虚拟条件句中的if 省略,并将助动词提前。 译文:例如,它们(指测试)并不弥补社会的不公,因此不能说明一个贫困青年,要是在比较有利的境况下长大,会有多大才干。 2. Nonstop waves of immigrants played a role, too and so did bigger crops of babies as yesterday’s “baby boom”generation reached its child-bearing years. 分析:该句中so did bigger crops of babies 属于语法倒装。用so 来代替前述肯定句谓语部分所说情况。 译文:不间断的移民浪潮也起了作用——而且随着昔日在“生育高峰期”出生的一代人达到生育年龄,婴儿的出生数量增加了,这同样起了作用。 3. Much as I have traveled, I have never seen anyone to equal her in thoroughness, whatever the job. 分析:该句的Much as I have traveled 是一个由as 引导的让步状语从句。相当于though I have traveled much ,但语气要比后者强。这种结构要求部分倒装。 译文:我虽然见多识广,但还从未见过比她细心的人,不管什么职业。 4. Only when you have acquired a good knowledge of grammar can you write correctly. 分析:相信大家对这种结构都不陌生。Only 后加副词、介词、状语从句时要用部分倒装。但是要注意的是,如果only 修饰的不是状语,则不用倒装。 译文:只有很好地掌握了语法知识,写出来的东西才会正确。 5. Nowhere do 1980 census statistics dramatize more the American search for spacious living than in the Far West .
