经典散文翻译赏析：Youth《青春》

英语翻译文章9.11

Person of the Year(Nancy Gibbs) Sept.11 delivered both a shock and a surprise---the attack, and our response to it----and we can argue forever over which mattered more. There has been so much talk of the goodness that erupted that day that we forget how unprepared we were for it. We did not expect much from a generation that had spent its middle age examining all the ways it failed to measure up to the one that had come before—all fat, no muscle, less a beacon to the world than a bully, drunk on blessings taken for granted. It was tempting to say that Sept. 11 changed all that, just as it is tempting to say that every hero needs a villain, and goodness needs evil as its grinding stone. But try looking a widow in the eye and talking about all the good that has come of this. It may not be a coincidence, but neither is it a partnership: good does not need evil, we owe no debt to demons, and the attack did not make us better.It was an occasion to discover what we already were. “Maybe the purpose of all this,” New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani said at a funeral for a friend, “is to find out if America today is as strong as when we fought for our independence or when we fought for ourselves as a Union to end slavery or as strong as our fathers and grandfathers who fought to rid the world of Nazism.” The terrorists, he argues, were counting on our cowardice. They’ve learned a lot about us since then. And so have we. For leading that lesson, for having more faith in us than we had in ourselves, for being brave when required and rude where appropriate and tender without being trite, for not sleeping and not quitting and not shrinking from the pain all around him, Rudy Giuliani, Mayor of the World, is TIME’s 2001 Person of the Year.(From Time, December 31, 2001)

翻硕备考知识点之汉语散文的翻译方法

翻硕备考知识点之汉语散文的翻译方法 翻译硕士考研中必考的就是汉英互翻，中国文体中散文语言诗情画意意象繁多，在翻译中会然大家摸不着头脑困扰不已，且中文散文的翻译好坏可见一个人的翻译功底，所以在考试中，很多学校也喜欢以这种问题出题以考察学生功力如何。跨考小编整理散文翻译的方法，希望大家领悟掌握，考试中取得好成绩。 在应有的翻译基本功(达意、连贯、衔接等)基础上，此法可保译文中规中矩且不乏出彩之处。简单来说，这种方法可以被称作“白话过渡与精修”，意思很明白，就是先用大白话把诗话的散文过一遍，然后以达意为主要目的粗粗翻译一遍，再在原文基础上进行语言精修。 如冰心《笑》中的选段： “雨声渐渐的住了，窗帘后隐隐地透进清光来。推开窗户一看，呀!凉云散了，树叶上的残滴，映着月儿，好似萤光千点，闪闪烁烁的动着。——真没想到苦雨孤灯之后，会有这么一幅清美的图画!” 原文极尽诗意，不少人看第一眼就头大。别着急，我们按步骤慢慢来。 1.用白话汉语说一遍 别看冰心奶奶写得好看，其实这段话意思很简单。我给大家说一遍。 “雨停了，有点光从窗帘后面照进来。我打开窗户一看，呀，云彩没了，树叶上剩下的雨滴，在月光下，闪烁得像萤火虫。真没想到在这个孤独的夜晚，下完雨之后，我能看见这么美的一幅画!”

2.把上面这段白话文翻成英语。 The rain stopped. There wassome light to come into the room through the curtain. I opened the window andlooked out. Ah, the clouds had disappeared. The raindrops on the leaves, underthe moonlight, glistened like thousands of fireflies. I cannot think I couldsee such a beautiful picture after the miserable rain in a lonely night. 到这里，该有人说了，你这翻得什么玩意啊，敢拿去考试吗!别着急，可不要小看这一步，最起码，它实现了翻译最基本的功能——达意。很多人在刚刚开始的时候往往忽视这一点，以为拽几个大词就是好翻译，请记住，达意是翻译的基础。 3.好的，下面我们来“精修”。在这一布中主要实现的是表情功能，具体来说有两方面，一是优化语言，二是加强连贯。 一句一句来。 第一句。“雨声渐渐的住了”请注意，这里是“声”，并不简单的是雨停了。所以用个拟声词即可达到效果。The rain gradually stopped to patter。千万不要翻成什么The sound of the rain stopped。要牢记中心意思是雨停了。若果觉得stop没技术含量可以换成cease。这俩分句我们可以给连起来，把前面半句作伴随状语。而后面那句的精华在“透”这个字上，应当找一个传神的英语动词，filter滤镜这个词刚好能够传神。至于“清光”怎么翻就不用在意啦，老外也不懂，而且filter这个词已经能传递这个意思啦。因此第一句话完整的就是 As the rain gradually ceased topatter, a glimmer of light began to filter into the room through the curtain. 第二句。原文有点长，可按意思拆成两句。没啥好说的。很简单。I opened the window and looked out.

英语美文欣赏带翻译

Friends or 'Enemies?' When I was younger, my Dad used to tell me: "Boys don't want to be your friend." He then left the rest to my imagination. At the time, I didn't agree. I thought: I can crack a good joke, I know how to shoot a hoop, and I'm a cheerful person (but not in an annoying way). What kind of boy wouldn't want to be around that kind of girl? Turns out, my Dad was right. Not to be all "Samantha Brick" about it, but in my experience, single, heterosexual men aren't actively looking for an exclusively platonic relationship with a woman they find sexually attractive. This of course is not a revolutionary concept. In fact, it seems pretty natural to me. Now, I will be the first to say that it is really and truly the most wonderful thing in the world if the attraction is mutual. But the Powers That Be seem to like to play these complicated little mating games with humans where the guy we want to re-enact scenes from 9? Weeks with sees our attractiveness level as akin to that of a discarded dishcloth, and the most physical we could see ourselves being with the guy who actually likes us is a game of ping pong over an especially long table. All of which means that someone usually ends up getting rejected. I'm sure I'm not alone when I say I have struggled with the scenario where I am not interested in a man romantically, but I want to keep him as a friend because he is funny and I enjoy his company, or he has shown himself to be that rare specimen known as "a nice, genuine person, " or he simply doesn't mention his therapist in every other sentence. Rather than string him along and give him hope, I feel compelled to somehow communicate to him sooner rather than later that we'll just be staying friends, nothing more. Otherwise, I think I am being unfair to him. Why should he waste his romantic stamina on me when there are loads of other single women out there who might fall instantly in love with him? The thing is, it can sometimes be tricky to reject a man and keep him as a friend. If the operation is not executed carefully, you may end up creating a "menemy." It requires a certain amount of skill to be able to turn down a man's sexual advances or romantic gestures and then get him to agree to meet you for blueberry pancakes the following weekend and chat about the latest Woody Allen film. Some men aren't satisfied with just that. I'm not clear why. What's so bad about friendship? Everyone needs buddies. But I've seen men react poorly or simply fall off the face of the earth. I get it -- their feelings are hurt. None of us likes getting rejected. But in my experience, some men find it especially soul-crushing. I am only bringing all of this up because I recently had to go through this scenario again. I had spent some time cultivating a friendship with a man who, in my defense, I thought was gay. So I didn't see the harm in him buying me the occasional falafel, or accepting an invitation to see a film with him. Isn't that what friends are for? But a mutual friend shed light on his sexual orientation (straight) and suggested that his intentions -- and attentions -- weren't platonic. He had never "made the moves" but now it was all crystal clear -- that explains the way he had looked at me that time the tahini sauce dribbled down my chin! Since he had clearly been too timid to express his feelings, I thought I would be clever this time and subtly mention the dates I had been going on, focusing on the one guy I was kind of keen on, so that he would know that I was "unavailable" for heavy petting and those sorts of activities, but that I was available for things like roller skating, falafel-eating and shooting the breeze. Doesn't that sound nice? That way, he would known not to try to lean in for a kiss, and I wouldn't have to pull the Stevie Wonder dance and dodge him went he went for it. It was like pre-rejection, yet I was sparing his feelings because he didn't even have to put himself out there! I really thought I was being brilliant. It backfired, of course. Said man ended up sending me an email rant accusing me of being insensitive by talking about other men when he had "feelings for me." As if I am psychic, by the way, just because I am a woman! How was I supposed to know that? I think in his mind we were dating. In my mind, he was my new gay BFF. In the end, I got mad at him for getting mad at me, and now the friendship has ended. And I have created yet another "menemy." Look, I have also tried the direct thing: "I really like you, but only as a friend, " but you can only do that when the guy has made his intentions clear, and in my experience, they either cope okay (though rarely do I feel much enthusiasm for friendship after that), or they really don't cope well. I also tried the thing where you make them think they are rejecting you, but it gets quite confusing and only works if the guy isn't very sharp, and why would I -- or you -- be hanging out with someone not that sharp in the first place? As we all remember, Billy Crystal's character says men and women can't be friends in When Harry Met Sally because the sex stuff gets in the way. I do have single, male, heterosexual friends with whom I have an easy, non-romantic rapport, but I honestly don't know if they would walk away if I was sprawled naked on a bed calling out to them. I may not be everybody's cup of tea, but sometimes, I wonder if they wonder. And they may wonder if I wonder. If so, I hope they'll keep it to

散文翻译技巧和特点word版本

一、翻译散文的要领： 第一、准确把握原文的内容和风格。朴实无华有口语化倾向，典雅华丽浪漫抒情，还是修辞多样形式工整？ 第二、在语言、句式、结构、修辞等方面忠实地重现原文的内容与风格。 二、现代散文特点 通过对现实生活中某些片断或生活事件的描述，表达作者的观点、感情，并揭示其社会意义，它可以在真人真事的基础上加工创造；不一定具有完整的故事情节和人物形象，而是着重于表现作者对生活的感受，具有选材、构思的灵活性和较强的抒情性，散文中的“我”通常是作者自己；语言不受韵律的限制，表达方式多样，可将叙述、议论、抒情、描写融为一体，也可以有所侧重；根据内容和主题的需要，可以像小说那样，通过对典型性的细节欲生活片段，作形象描写、心理刻画、环境渲染、气氛烘托等，也可像诗歌那样运用象征等艺术手法，创设一定的艺术意境。 三、要素 第一、所谓优美，就是指散文的语言清新明丽(也美丽)，生动活泼，富于音乐感，行文如涓涓流水，叮咚有声，如娓娓而谈，情真意切。 第二、所谓凝练，是说散文的语言简洁质朴，自然流畅，寥寥数语就可以描绘出生动的形象，勾勒出动人的场景，显示出深远的意境。散文力求写景如在眼前，写情沁人心脾。 四、在《英译中国现代散文选》中，翻译家张培基先生保存散文风格方面的技巧值得学 习：句子短小、精悍，结构简单；用词简单、明了；修辞处理合理，力求通俗易懂； 语言逻辑关系清晰；对文化因素处理得体，读者对译文无理解障碍。以上技巧的合理运用，翻译工作者可以此为鉴。 五、散文翻译原则： 1、文气贯通,气韵生动 英国散文翻译家Hilaire Belloc 为文学散文翻译制定了6 条原则，认为翻译的本质是异地之魂假借本地之躯的复活(the essence of translating is the resurrection of an alien thing in a native body) ,强调散文的翻译不能拘泥于原文之字句,要视段落或部分为整体。翻译要“以意译意( translate intention by intention) ”,以意译意”与林语堂提倡的翻译要“翻译要遵循行文之心理”是高度一致的,这样可以摆脱原文字句的束缚,有利于发挥译入语的优势。 2、传神写照———“意,气,文”三位一体 在散文翻译中,我们要想译得曲尽其妙,须得传神地摹写作者的气质神韵。每一个作者有每一个的个性特点、气质精神,着手翻译之前,要先对作者进行深入的研究,把握其时代背景、人生经历、创作风格等,这样的翻译方能做到传神达意,否则,难免貌合神离 3、文学翻译非文字翻译 讲求整体效果，即“神韵”。有些表面忠实的译文，失去了散文的文采，文雅，便失去了自身的价值，终究是失败的译文。 六、从篇章翻译看散文翻译 1、标题的翻译技巧 眼睛对于人来说, 是他们心灵的窗户; 而标题对于一篇文章来说, 就是它的眼睛。标题凌驾于篇章之上, 却植根于篇章之中。在翻译时必须牢记: 一是真正看懂全文之后再决定译名; 二是译出的标题必须符合通用的翻译标准: 忠实、通顺、有美感。在翻译标题 时, 译者充分考虑了两种语言的不同习惯和不同的文化、社会背景, 注重准确选词、增词、结构转换和结合上下文语境的理解来完成。

He gathered my mother and me in the living room and opened the case as if it were a treasure chest. "Here it is," he said. "Once you learn to play, it'll stay with you for life." 记得有一天，身材瘦小的父亲背着一架沉重的手风琴，费力地走到前门廊。他把妈妈和我叫进厅里，打开了那只盒子，好象那是一个百宝箱似的。“就这个，”他说，“你一旦学会，它将伴随你一生。” If my thin smile didn't match his full-fledged grin, it was because I had prayed for a guitar or a piano. For the next two weeks, the accordion was stored in the hall closet. Then one evening Dad announced that I would start lessons the following week. In disbelief I shot my eyes toward Mom for support. The firm set of her jaw told me I was out of luck. 如果说我勉强的微笑与他发自内心的笑容不和谐的话，那是因为我一直想要一把吉他或一架钢琴。随后的两个星期，那架手风琴一直放在大厅的橱子里。一天晚上，爸爸宣布下周我开始上琴课。疑惑中，我把视线急忙投向妈妈求助。她紧绷的下巴告诉我：我倒运了。 Spending $300 for an accordion and $5 per lesson was out of character for my father. He was practical always －something he learned growing up on a Pennsylvania farm. Clothes, heat and sometimes even food were scarce. 花300元买一架手风琴，每次上课再花3美元，这可不像父亲的作风。他一直是很实际的——这是他在宾夕法尼亚农场成长过程中学来的。那时候，衣服、暖气，有时甚至连食物都短缺。 Dad was a supervisor in a company that serviced jet engines. Weekends, he tinkered in the cellar, turning scraps of plywood into a utility cabinet or fixing a broken toy with spare parts. Quiet and shy, he was never more comfortable than when at his 洛基英语是中国英语培训市场上的一朵奇葩，是全球已被验证的东方人英语学习的最佳模式。洛基英

怎么翻译散文

大家学习张培基散文选有所帮助。 张培基《英译中国现代散文选》要怎样使用？ 报考研究生的英专同学都知道，张培基先生的《英译中国现代散文选》在考研圈内很受欢迎，很多同学都把这本书作为必读教材，孜孜矻矻地研究，以求提高翻译的水平。更有甚者，把书从头到尾背下来，以求考试命中。虽然这种死记硬背的方法并不值得推介，但死记硬背也并非完全一无是处，一方面天上掉下馅饼，万一砸中也并非不可能；另一方面背书也有好处，多少增加一点语感吧。 但今天要讲的事情和死记硬背没有关系，也不是鼓励大家来背这本书，而是要说一点背道而驰的东西，这本书是不是值得用，要怎么用，为什么？因为老夫一贯不是很主张把《散文选》作为英语专业本科生的参考教材，更不主张把该书的翻译方法在本科教学阶段推广，这一点培训班的同学都知道。因为该书的译法在很大程度上不是很适合本科生，没有一定的识别能力，没有相当的翻译基础，初入门的学习者拿起该书来学习，难免会出现一些误区，误解，甚至误入歧途。 所以今天就来谈谈《散文选》要怎么用，尤其是对英语专业的本科生来说要怎么用，怎样才能够择其善者而从之，其不善者而去之，扬长避短，争取对考研有最大的帮助。话说回来，世界上的每一本书都是有优点也是有缺点的，《散文选》也不能够例外，这一点不必讳言。首先来谈谈《散文选》的优点。 这本书有什么优点呢？有什么地方值得我们学习呢？就老夫看来，首先要学习的是对原文的理解。理解是翻译的第一步，没有正确的理解，翻译勉为其难。尤其汉语的理解和英语的理解大相径庭。一般来说，我们中国人阅读英语时，理解更多是对词汇的理解，对文化的理解，以及字面逻辑关系的理解。而我们往往受限于词汇的不足，文化的缺失，以及对西文逻辑关系的不适宜，而在理解方面大费周章，难得到位。但是，另一方面，如果我们词汇认识，文化上没有误读，逻辑关系理清，那么理解就容易很多，翻译也就走好了第一步。 但是，汉语的理解不一样。中国人在阅读汉语时一般不会有单词不认识，不会有文化缺失，语言逻辑在很多时候也是没有问题的。但是，另一方面，汉语在逻辑关系上对于语境的依赖远远大于英语对于语境的依赖，也就是说，语境对于汉语的重要性是远远超过英语的。汉语一个单词的真实意义往往更多地在上下文中寻得，而英语虽然也受语境影响，但语境影响的度远不及汉语。这就是为什么汉语对语境的依赖性异常重要的原因所在。那么《散文选》对汉语的理解如何呢？老夫认为是很到位的，理解得很到位，翻译得很到位，很有参考价值。现举一例，《幼年鲁迅》的第一段第一句： 在家里，领着幼年鲁迅的是保姆长妈妈。她是一个淳朴的农村妇女。最初大约是一个生活在农村里的年轻的孤孀，死掉了丈夫和丧失了土地之后，就从农村来到城里谋生。她 的姓名，当时是没有人知道的，鲁迅的祖母叫她“阿长”，因此人们也就跟着叫她 “阿长”，但孩子们却叫她“长妈妈”。

散文翻译

我的树林 E. M. 福斯特(1879-1970) 几年前我写了一本书，部分内容谈到英国人在印度所遭的困境。美国人觉得自己若在印度不会如此窘迫，读该书时便无拘无束，他们越读越自在，其结果是让该书的作者赚取一张支票。我用这支票买下一片树林，林子不大，几乎没有什么树，还有一条该死的公共小道从中横穿而过。但这是我拥有的第一份财产，因而如果别人和我一样感到遗憾，那是很正常的事。他们因恐怖而生变的语调，会对自己提出这样一个重要问题：财产对人的性格产生怎样的影响？我们这里不涉及经济学，私人财产对整个社区的影响完全是另外一个问题------也许是个更重要的问题，我们只从心理方面进行探讨，你所拥有的东西会对你产生什么影响？我的树林又对我产生什么影响呢？ 首先，它让我感到有负担。财产确实能起到这一作用。给人负担从而让人进不了天国。《圣经》中那个不幸的百万富翁并不坏，只是胖而已，他大腹便便，屁股浑圆，在水晶门内东挪西插想挤进去，肥嘟嘟的身体两侧被挤得到处青肿，却看见他的下方，一只较瘦的骆驼穿过针眼，织进了上帝的袍子。《新约》的四部福音书全把胖子与迟缓连在一起，指出了一个明显却被人忽略的事实，那就是拥有太多的东西必然会造就行动不便。有家具就需要掸灰尘，掸灰尘需要仆人，有仆人就得给他买保险。这些事交织在一起，使你在接受赴宴邀请或如约前往约旦河沐浴之前，不得不三思而行了。有关财产问题福音书中有些地方还有更深入的阐述，其观点与托尔斯泰相似，即财产是罪恶的。这里面涉及的苦行主义令人费解，对此我不敢苟同。但说到财产对人的直接影响，他们确实一语中的，财产让人笨重。根据定义，笨重的人不可能像闪电一样，迅速地从东移到西。一位体重14石的大主教登越讲坛，和基督的到来肯定形成鲜明对比。我的树林让我感到负担沉重。 其次，它老让我惦记着这片树林要是再大些就好了。 一天，我听到树林里传来细枝折断的声音，这使我很不高兴。心想，一定是有人在采黑莓，弄坏了灌木丛。待走近一看，发现不是人踩断了树枝，是一只鸟，我高兴极了。哈，我的鸟！可那鸟似乎并不高兴，毫不顾及我与它的关系，一见我的脸孔，顿受惊吓，飞过树篱，停在一块田地上，惊恐地叫着。那块田是亨尼
