4英语翻译技巧-直、音、意译

英语翻译方法:直译与意译 这里所讲翻译方法是指通过英、汉两种语言特点对比,分析其异同,阐述表达原文的一般规律。英、汉语结构有相同一面,汉译时可照译,即所谓“直译”——既忠实原文内容,又符合原文结构形式,能传达原文意义,体现原文风格等。但这两种语言之间还有许多差别,如完全照译,势必出现“英化汉语”,这时就需要“意译”,在忠实原文内容前提下,摆脱原文结构束缚,使译文符合汉语规范。特别要注意是:“直译”不等于“死译”,“意译”也不等于“乱译”。试比较: 1、直译与死译 原文结构与汉语结构是一致,照译即可。但如果原文结构与汉语不一致,仍然采取直译方法,就成“死译”了。如: ①、In some automated plants electronic computers control the entire production line. 在某些自动化工厂,电子计算机控制整个生产线。(直译) ②、The earth acts like a big magnet.地球作用着像一块大磁铁。(死译) ③、Manganese has the same effect on the strength of steel as silicon. 锰有同样影响在强度上像硅。(死译) 例②、例③既不忠实原意,又不符合汉语表达方式。因此,必须运用“词类转换”广成分转换”、“词(语)序调整”等手段使译文通顺。例②、例③应分别译为:“地球作用像一块大磁铁。”…“锰像硅一样会影响钢强度。” 2、意译和乱译 只有在正确理解原文基础上,运用相应翻译方法以调整原文结构,用规范汉语加以表达,这才真正做到“意译”。翻译实践证明,大量英语句子汉译都要采取“意译法”。 如果把“意译”理解为凭主观臆想来理解原文,可以不分析原文结构,只看词面意义,自己编造句子,势必造成“乱译”。如: It is easy to compress a gas,it is just a matter of reducing the space between the molecules. Like a liquid a gas has no shape,but unlike a liquid it will expand and fill any container it is put in.气体是很容易压缩,这正是压缩分子之间距离根据。气体和液体一样没有形状,但又不同于液体,气体膨胀时会充满任何盛放它容器。(乱译) 例句中“乱译”是由主观臆想(不正确选择词义、任意转换成分)造成。在这里,将matter译成“根据”在物理学上是讲不通,因为“压缩气体也就是减少分子之间距离”,两者是一回事。matter应作“事情”、“问题”解。 将will expand任意转换为时间状语,致使不符合原义。will expand and fill应译为“会扩张并充满”。综上所述,原译文可改为“气体很容易压缩,那只不过是缩小分子之间距离而已。气体和液体一样没有形状,但又不同于液体,因为气体会扩张并充满任何盛放它容器。” 就翻译方法而论,总来说,就是“直译法和意译法相结合”,又可细分为“照译”、“词义引伸”、“成分转换”、“句转成分”等译法。 英语翻译训练方法-直译 直译是一种重要的翻译方法,它有不少优点,例如能传达原文意义,体现原文风格等。据估算,大约70%的句子要用直译方法来处理,所以直译广为译者采用,由此可见直译法之重要。但是,直译具有一定的局限性。例如译文有时冗长罗唆,晦涩难懂,有时不能正确传达原文意义,有时甚至事与愿违。所以,如果不顾场合条件,不顾中外两种语言的差异,一味追求直译,就必然闯红灯,进入误区,造成误译。直译之所以有误区,是因为语言的形式与内容,句子的表层结构与深层意义有时不统一;另一方面,中外文化历史背景不同,造成了不同的思维方式和不同的语言表达形式。不少人批评过直译硬译,指出过直译有局限性,但是直译到底有哪些局限性,它都表现在什么地方。英语直译至少有五大误区,明确这些误区,就要在翻译中避免一些错误,就可在直译行不通的地方采用意译。 一、否定句型中的直译误区

直译与意译

直译与意译 既忠于原文意思又保留原文的形式的翻译就叫直译。直译的优点是可以保留原作的风格、原文的比喻形象、民族色彩等,但应注意行文必须规范。 不受原文词语的限制,不拘泥于原文句子的结构,用不同于原文表达方法,把原文意思表达出来,这就是意译。意译的优点是能发挥译语的优势,译文体现译者的创造能力,往往通顺流畅,但容易丧失原文的比喻形象、原作的风格和民族色彩。 (举例说明略) 形合意合与翻译 形合与意合是语言特性,注重形合的语言中,句子的各种成分之间(包括单词、短语、分句)采用关联词直接连接的手段,来标示它们之间的逻辑关系。重形合的语言具有显性连接(overt cohesion)、以形显意的特点,句子结构严谨、完整,但缺乏弹性。英语就是比较注重形合的语言。重意合的语言不用或少用关联词,而靠意义上的衔接、叙述事理的顺序间接显示句子各成分之间的关系,具有隐性连接(covert coherence)、以意役形的特点。句子结构比较松散但富有弹性。汉语就有注重意合的特点。 以英译汉而言,就是把英语的“空间构架”拆散,“颠倒附益”,根据逻辑关系和时间顺序,用“流水句法”,重新组合(其中文字当然有增益和减损);与此同时,“不要把英语中的各种连接手段都照录下来”,而要“在不致造成误解的前提下,将其联接手段由显变隐,让人们思而得之”。 汉译英的基本过程与英译汉相反,是将汉语句子的时间和逻辑序列转换成英语句子的空间构架,其间同样不可“斤斤于字比句次”。具体说来,一是按照英语行文的需要重新分句,二是分析和确定每个句子中的不同成分之间的逻辑关系,三是按照各成分之间的关系重新安排各个句子,使汉语句子的线性序列变成英语句子的空间构架。与此同时,汉语中靠语序间接表示的隐性接应转换为用关联词标示的显性连接。

What sort of force does the sun exert on the planets which causes the planets to move according to the laws which Kepler has discovered. B.Translate the following paragraphs into Chinese In 1776, Adam Smith, a Scottish economist, wrote the wealth of Nations, a book that has had an enormous influence on American economic development. Like many other thinkers, Smith believed that in a capitalist system people are naturally selfish and are moved to engage in manufacturing and trade in order to gain wealth and power. Smith’s originality was to argue that such activity is beneficial because it leads to increased production and sharpens competition. As a result, goods circulate more widely and at lower prices, jobs are created, and wealth is spread. Though people may act from the narrow desire to enrich themselves, Smith argued, “an invisible hand” guides them to enrich and improve all of society. And yet, American industrial development in the 19th century took a toll on working men and women. Factory owners often required them to put in long hours of low wages, provided them with unsafe and unhealthy workplaces, and hired the children of poor families. There was discrimination in hiring: African Americans and members of some immigrant groups were rejected or forced to work under highly unfavorable conditions.

英语 直译与意译-试讲教案

Good morning,class. In the last period we have learned chapter one-General principles of translation. And we have studied two important points: Definition of translation and the competence of a translator. And I will check you in the next class. As what we have mentioned last period, the process of translation consists of two phases: comprehension and expression. (理解和表达) Generally speaking, comprehension is of foremost importance, and express is the natural consequence of thorough comprehension. However, in the practice of translation, we may find that now and then some words in their usual senses are very difficult to deal with because of the disparity between the English and the Chinese language. In this case, we have to resort to some special means of translation. Literal translation and free translation are two alternative approaches to tackle this problem. So, in this class, we are going to learn translation strategies in 1.4.1, literal translation and free translation. To begin with, what’s literal translation and free translation? Please open your books and turn to page 12. Literal translation Vs. Free translation 1. Literal translation may be defined as having the following characteristics: 1). Literal translation takes sentences as its basic units and the whole text into consideration at the same time in the course of translating. 直译把句子作为基本单位,同时在翻译的过程中也考虑整个文本。 2). Literal translation strives to reproduce both the ideological content and style of the entire literary work and retain as much as possible the figures of speech. 直译是要再现文本的中心内容和原文风格,并且尽可能保留原文的修辞。 2. Free translation may be defined as a supplementary means to mainly convey the meaning and spirit of the original without trying to reproduce its sentence patterns or figures of speech. And it is adopted only when and where really impossible for translators to do literal translation. 意译其实是直译的一种补充的翻译手段。意译就是尽可能传达原文的意思和精髓,

[短语]yellow dirt [误解]黄色的泥土 [正解]黄金 例: The farmer secretly hid the yellow dirt which was picked up by the roadside. 这个农民把在路边捡到的黄金悄悄地藏了起来。 [短语]dirt farmer [误解]肮脏的农民 [正解]自耕农 例: The dirt farmers improved the land with dung and other sort of soils. 自耕农们用粪便和其他肥料增强土地的肥力。 [短语]the yellow press [误解]黄色报刊 [正解]低级报刊(故作耸人听闻的报道以哗众取宠的报纸)

例: He is scolded by his parents because he read the yellow press. 他因为看了低级报刊而被爸妈骂了。 [短语]yellow dog [误解]黄狗 [正解]卑鄙的人 例: I hate Ella very much because she is a yellow dog. 我很讨厌埃拉,因为她是个卑鄙小人。 [短语]a knowing card [误解]熟知的牌 [正解]精明鬼 例: He's a knowing card. 他是个精明鬼。 Get out of here.(别开玩笑了,别骗人了) 大家很容易联想到“滚开”的意思,其实,现在很多时候都用在“别开玩笑了,别骗人了”的意思里,在美国片子中常可以听到。例子:(Man:)You look very beautiful(你很漂亮)(Girl:)Get out of here.(别骗了)
