8, 翻译常用八种方法(考试复习)

考试复习 一、选择题(每小题1分,共20分) 翻译常见的八种技巧: 1.重复repetition 在翻译中被称为一种技巧,自然就不是一般所说的不必要的重复,而是一种必不可少的方法。可以这样确定它的定义:在翻译中,有时为了忠实于原文,不得不重复某些词语,否则就不能忠实表达原文的意思。这种反复使用某些词语于翻译的方法就叫重译法。一般说来,重译法有如下三个作用:一是为了明确;二是为了强调;三是为了生动。 We have to analyze and solve problems.我们要分析问题,解决问题。 2.增译addition/amplification 什么叫增译法?我们可以这样确定它的定义:为了使译文忠实地表达原文的意思与风格并使译文合乎表达习惯,必须增加一些词语,这就叫增译法。 送君千里,终有一别。 Although you may escort a guest a thousand miles,yet the parting must come at last.

3.减译法deletion 和其他一切事物一样,翻译也是有增必有减。懂了增译法之后自然也就会懂得什么是减译法。它是增译法的反面:以同一个译例来说,在英译汉中如果用增译法的话,在汉译英中自然就要用减译法了。把第二节中的31个例子倒译的话(即把汉译英改为英译汉或把英译汉变为汉译英),所用的译法就不是增译法而是减译法了。 关于减译法,应该记住这样一条总原则:减译法是指原文中有些词在译文中不译出来,因为译文中虽无其词而已有其意,或者在译文中是不言而喻的;换言之,减译法是删去一些可有可无的,或者有了反嫌累赘或违背译文习惯表达法的词,但减译并不是把原文的某些思想内容删去。 此外,冠词、连词、代词(尤其是人称代词、关系代词)、关系副词,等等,在英语中经常使用,但译成汉语时几乎很少出现,要使译文忠实而地道,减译法就自然必不可少了。例如: A book is useful. 书(是)有用(的)。 4.词类转移法conversion 在翻译时,由于两种语言在语法和习惯表达

Please keep the fire burning when I'm out. 我不在家的时候,请别让炉子灭了。(不译:「我外出时,请让炉子继续烧着」) 4. "Wait, he is serious." 「等等,他不是说着玩儿的。」(不译:「等等,他是认真的。」) 5. "Now, Clara, be firm with the boy!" 「听我说,克拉拉,对这孩子可不能心软。」(不译:「……对这孩子要坚定」) (二) 删减解释词 例子: The traveller in the south must often have remarked that peculiar air of refinement, that softness of voice and manner, which seems in many cases to be a particular gift to the quotation and mulatto women. 到南方去的人看见那些黑白混血的女郎,准定会注意到她们十之八九都赋有那种独特的优雅风度、那种柔和的声调和文静的举止。 (三) 短句拆译 例子: " ...on one sunshiny morning in June , ..." 「在六月里的一天早上,天气晴朗,……」 (四) 译词推陈出新 例子:

英语翻译的十大方法

英汉两种语言在句法、词汇、修辞等方面均存在着很大的差异,因此在进行英汉互译时必然会遇到很多困难,需要有一定的翻译技巧作指导。常用的翻译技巧有增译法、省译法、转换法、拆句法、合并法、正译法、反译法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重组法和综合法等。这些技巧不但可以运用于笔译之中,也可以运用于口译过程中,而且应该用得更加熟练,因为口译工作的特点决定了译员没有更多的时间进行思考。 一、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。英汉两种语言在名词、代词、连词、介词和冠词的使用方法上也存在很大差别。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,在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,以确保译文意思的完整。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。如: ①、What about calling him right away? 马上给他打个电话,你觉得如何(增译主语和谓语) ②、If only I could see the realization of the four modernizations. 要是我能看到四个现代化实现该有多好啊!(增译主句) ③、Indeed, the reverse is true. 实际情况恰好相反。(增译名词) ④、就是法西斯国家本国的人民也被剥夺了人权。 Even the people in the fascist countries were stripped of their human rights.(增译物主代词) ⑤、只许州官放火,不许百姓点灯。 While the magistrates were free to burn down house, the common people were forbidden to light lamps. (增译连词) ⑥、这是我们两国人民的又一个共同点。 This is yet another common point between the people of our two countries.(增译介词) ⑦、在人权领域,中国反对以大欺小、以强凌弱。 In the field of human rights, China opposes the practice of the big oppressing the small and the strong bullying the weak.(增译暗含词语) ⑧、三个臭皮匠,合成一个诸葛亮。 Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang the mastermind.(增译注释性词语) 二、省译法 这是与增译法相对应的一种翻译方法,即删去不符合目标语思维习惯、语言习惯和表达方式的词,以避免译文累赘。增译法的例句反之即可。又如: ①、You will be staying in this hotel during your visit in Beijing. 你在北京访问期间就住在这家饭店里。(省译物主代词) ②、I hope you will enjoy your stay here.

英语习语的翻译

英语习语的翻译 徐丹 (凯里学院外国语学院贵州凯里556000) 摘要:习语在英语语言中占重要地位,由于英语习语是人们智能的反映和历史的积淀,具有独特的文化特性,最大化的构成了语言和文化间的差异。因此,对于英语学习者来说,正确的理解、翻译英语习语是十分必要,也是必不可少的。本文简要阐述了英语习语的几种基本译法以及翻译时应注意的问题。 关键词:英语习语;翻译;方法 1.前言 众所周知,每一种语言都是一个民族智慧与文化的载体,其中的习语更是不可或缺的重要组成部分,含有丰富的社会和文化内涵。英语是世界上使用最广泛的语言之一,英语中的习语十分丰富,它们从各个方面反映出以英语作为本族语的人民的生活哲理、道德观念、行为准则和风土人情。作为一种语言现象,习语是英语国家口头表达出现率最频繁的语言。在英语语言表达的生动性,凝炼性及使用频繁程度方面,习语更是首选。 1.1习语的定义 英语习语有两个特征:一是语义的统一性(semantic unity):二是结构的固定性(structural stability)。习语(idioms)是个固定词组的词组,在语义上是个不可分割的统一体,其整体的意义往往不能从组成习语的各个词汇意义中揣测出来。从结构上看,习语也有本身的完整性,其中的各个组成部分是固定的,不可任意拆开或替换。习语是约定俗成、有固定寓意的语言。 习语的范围很广,包括成语(set phrases)、谚语(proverbs)、俗语(colloquialisms)、俚语(slangs)、典故(allusions)、格言(sayings)和比喻性词组(metaphorical phrases)等,是语言经过长期反复使用后而自然积淀下来的固定词组、短语或短句,其形式固定,其寓意深远。正确的理解和翻译英语习语对一个英语学习者来说是尤为重要的。 2.英语习语的翻译方法 2.1直译(literal translation) 直译法,顾名思义,就是在不违背译文语言规范以及不引起错误的联想的条

英语习语的翻译

英语习语的翻译 [摘要]习语在英语语言中占重要地位,因为不同的生活习惯和文化背景,我们很难翻译准确。文章介绍了5种翻译习语的方法,它们分别是直译法、直接套用法、意译法、直译与意译结合法、疑问加注法。 [关键词]习语文化背景翻译方法 习语既是语言中的重要修辞手段,其本身也是各种修辞手法的集中体现,翻译时应尽量保持这些特点,翻译时要忠实地表达原文习语的形象比喻、丰富联想、修辞效果以及其民族、地方特色。习语翻译的准确与否对整个译文的质量有极大的影响。在这篇文章中主要介绍5种:直译法、直接套用汉语习语、意译法、直译与意译相结合法和译文加注法。 一、直译法 直译法就是在不违背译文语言规范以及不引起错误的联想的条件下,保留英语习语的比喻,形象和民族地方色彩的方法。 Easy come easy go来的容易去的快 Armed to the teeth武装到牙齿 Barking dogs do not bite吠犬不咬人 The cold war冷战 A rolling stone gathers no moss滚石不生苔 Sour grapes酸葡萄 To break the record打破记录 To show one’s cards摊牌 Golden age黄金时代 Kill two birds with one stone一石二鸟 二、直接套用汉语习语 英汉两种语言都拥有丰富多彩的习语,不同的民族由于人们对待事物的情感态度和社会经历相类似,也就必然会产生一些具有相同的意义和修辞色彩完全相同或大体相同的习语。

1.双方完全相同的习语 To praise to the skies捧上天去 To add fuel to the fire火上浇油 Walls have ears隔墙有耳 Strike while the iron is hot趁热打铁 To be in the same boat同舟共济 2.双方拥有的大体相同的习语 A drop in the oceans沧海一粟 To be out at elbows捉襟见肘 At six and sevens七颠八倒,乱七八糟 One boy is a boy, two boys half a boy, three boys no boys. 一个和尚挑水喝,两个和尚抬水喝,三个和尚没水喝 三、意译法 在翻译时如果不可能或没有必要保留英语习语的表达形式,且汉语中也找不到合适的同义习语来套用,就得使用意译法结合上下文把习语的含义表达出来,也就是在翻译时使用另外一个中国读者能接受的类似的习语来翻译,这种译法常用于引喻中。 A fish out of water 很不自在 To break the ice打破沉默 Born with a silver spoon in one’s mouth生长在富贵之家 Wet blanket令人扫兴 Two heads are better than one人多智慧大 Teach fish to swim班门弄斧 There is no smoke without fire无风不起浪 Drink like a fish牛饮 四、直译与意译相结合 为了完整地表现习语的形式结构和意义。首先需要直译其意义,然后需要采用意译的形式表现其内在的涵义。 To get blood for a stone石中取血不可能的事

翻译常用八种方法

考试复习 一、英汉互译下列习语(每小题2分,共20分) 书上或日常生活中常出现的一些习语或成语。 二、将下列句子翻译成中文,并指出使用的翻译技巧(每小题3分,共30分) 翻译常见的八种技巧: 1.重复repetition 在翻译中被称为一种技巧,自然就不是一般所说的不必要的重复,而是一种必不可少的方法。可以这样确定它的定义:在翻译中,有时为了忠实于原文,不得不重复某些词语,否则就不能忠实表达原文的意思。这种反复使用某些词语于翻译的方法就叫重译法。一般说来,重译法有如下三个作用:一是为了明确;二是为了强调;三是为了生动。 We have to analyze and solve problems.我们要分析问题,解决问题。 2.增译addition/amplification 什么叫增译法?我们可以这样确定它的定义:为了使译文忠实地表达原文的意思与风格并使译文合乎表达习惯,必须增加一些词语,这就叫增译法。 送君千里,终有一别。 ,yet the parting must come at last.3.减译法deletion 和其他一切事物一样,翻译也是有增必有减。懂了增译法之后自然也就会懂得什么是减译法。它是增译法的反面:以同一个译例来说,在英译汉中如果用增译法的话,在汉译英中自然就要用减译法了。把第二节中的31个例子倒译的话(即把汉译英改为英译汉或把英译汉变为汉译英),所用的译法就不是增译法而是减译法了。 关于减译法,应该记住这样一条总原则:减译法是指原文中有些词在译文中不译出来,因为译文中虽无其词而已有其意,或者在译文中是不言而喻的;换言之,减译法是删去一些可有可无的,或者有了反嫌累赘或违背译文习惯表达法的词,但减译并不是把原文的某些思想内容删去。 此外,冠词、连词、代词(尤其是人称代词、关系代词)、关系副词,等等,在英语中经常使用,但译成汉语时几乎很少出现,要使译文忠实而地道,减译法就自然必不可少了。例如: A book is useful. 书(是)有用(的)。 4.词类转移法conversion 在翻译时,由于两种语言在语法和习惯表达上的差异,在保证原文意思不变的情况下,译文必须改变词类,这就叫词类转移法。这种方法不仅指词类的改变,而且还包括词类作用的改变和一定词序的变化。当然主要是指词类的变化,如原文中的名词可以转移成译文中的动词等词类。众所周知,语言是个无限制生成的系统,在翻译实践中,词类转移的情形也是千变万化的。重要的是,要知道在翻译中为了保证译文忠于原文并使译文合乎表达习惯,可以改变词类。下面所举的例子可以说明词类转移的一些常用情况。 The mastery of language is not easy and requires painstaking effort. 这句话的英译文应该说是忠实而地道的,但分析一下汉英文中的词类,却很少是对应的。原文中的词类到了译文中,差不多都发生了变化:“学好”是动词,意思上相应的英文词mastery是名词;“随便”是副词,意思上相应的英文词是作表语的easy,等等。假若译文中的英文词类、词序都与汉语完全相同,不作任何改变,那么这就不成一句英文句子了。 5.词序调整法inversion

The news of his death came as a bolt from the blue She found the keys she had lost last month, which was like a bolt from the blue A bolt from the blue Meaning:A complete surprise, like a bolt of lightning from a blue sky.

There are several forms of it: 'out of the blue', 'a bolt out of the blue', etc. The earliest citation is Thomas Carlyle, in The French Revolution, 1837: "Arrestment, sudden really as a bolt out of the Blue, has hit strange victims." It is unpleasant to hear him speak on national topics, for he is a bird of ill omen. 叫他谈论国事是不愉快的,因为他常出不吉之言。 a bird of ill omen 中国有句老话:“夜猫子进宅,无事不来”,可见猫头鹰是种不吉利的象征。它往往和黑暗、神秘甚至死亡联系起来。然而在日本,猫头鹰却是吉利和幸福的代表。 奥运会的吉祥物 雕像、挂钟、水壶、牙签盒,甚至还有女士佩戴的胸针 They were only crying crocodile tears at the old man's funeral because nobody had really liked him. 在老人的葬礼上,他们在假装慈悲,因为他们之中没有谁喜欢过他。 We need not hope for lower taxes in the future ─ that would be crying for the moon. 我们不应抱任何希望将来会降低税收,这是根本不可能的事。 “不可能”,“没门”的译法 No way/There is no way!

That is his Achilles' heel. 约翰因出身卑贱而自惭形秽,这是他的致命弱点。 Every atom of your flesh is as dear to me as my own; in pain and sickness it would still be dear. 在我看来,你身上的每一个细胞都像我自己的细胞一样亲,即使你痛苦你有病,也还是一样亲。 I'll play old Gooseberry with the office, and make you glad to buy me out at a good high figure. 我要在工作上故意捣蛋,使你不得不付出高价收买我。 play gooseberry (British humorous) to be with two people who are having a romantic relationship and who would prefer to be alone. “Best be off to bed, my boy ─ ho, ho!”“No, no. We know a trick worth two of that. We won’t go home till morning, till day light does appear!” “孩子,最好上床睡吧——嗬,嗬!”“不,不,你不必跟我们玩那一套。不到明天,不到天大亮我们不归家。
