30我们强调直译是翻译成语的第一选择。然而,汉语成语并非是每条都能按字面直译,有些成语的比喻形象是译文读者所不能接受的。如“眉飞色舞”,死翻译成his eyebrow are flying and his countenance is dancing,势必会贻笑大方的,使读者不知所云,莫名其妙。我们可根据改成语的实际意义译为:to beam with joy。请看下例:

粗枝大叶to be crude and careless

死译with big branches and large leaves

无孔不入to take advantage of every weakness

死译to get into every hole

扬眉吐气to feel proud and elated

死译to raise the eyebrows and let out a breath

32我一律回答:“不知道。”跟着就会听到一句,“别来这个了,你还能不知道!”

I invariably answered “ I don?t know” which was usually followed by” come .Don?t tell me you don?t know by now.

33同学和老师觉得我有问题,精神不正常了,家纺.谈话,拉我回正道——老老实实的念最为普通的,也是最普遍的书。我有我的主见,绝不反悔。

My classmates and teachers thought there was something wrong with me ,that I was off my head .they came to our places to talk to me round ,steer me back on to the “right track”——get me to crack the standard textbooks. But I struck to my guns

34由于大多数谚语采用生动形象的比喻只要不影响读者的理解,我们应尽可能的使用直译方法,把原文的内容,形式和精神都输入到译文中,努力减少翻译中的损失。

明枪易躲暗箭难防。It is easy to dodge a spear in the open ,but hard to guard against an arrow shot from hiding.

城门失火,殃及池鱼。A fire on the city wall brings disaster to the fish in the moat .

路遥知马力日久见人心。As a long road tests a horse?s strength so a long task proves a person?s heart.

路遥知马力日久见人心。New-born calves make little of tigers.

上面的谚语的比喻生动形象,其深层意思更能为读者所接受。如果把这些谚语进行直译,就无法传达原文中的形象比喻,这是翻译中不应有的损失。试看下面2例的意译路遥知马力日久见人心。Time reveals a person?s heart.

初生牛犊不怕虎。Young people are fearless.

这样的句子明显失色于真译,失去原文中的活力。

35有一部分也因为语言结构和文化背景的差异,无法进行直译。这部分谚语一般有很强的比喻,或者根本没有比喻。我们就没必要追求原文的形式了。硬是直译反而会使读者不知所云。或者译文牵强附会。意思会帮助译文读者更好的理解原文。

失之东隅收之桑榆。What one loses the swings one gets on the roundabouts

(如直译为lose where the sun rises and gain where the sun sets,会使读者感到很费解).

塞翁失马焉知非福?a loss may turn out to be a gain ,(由于读者不理解该谚语的意思,无法理解他的直译:when the old man on the frontier lost his mare, who could have guessed it was a blessing in disguise?

庆父不死鲁难未已there will always be trouble until the trouble-maker is removed.(如直译为Until Qing Fu is done away with ,the crisis in the state of Lu will not be over.读者无法搞清文

中的人名和国名)

此地无银三百两。A guilty person gives himself away by conspicuously protesting his innocence.(由于读者不了解该谚语出处,不宜直接译成NO 300 taels of silver buried here)

饱汉不知饿汉饥。The well-fed don?t know how the starving suffer .

不要译为:a magnates is unconscious of the misfortune of a pauper.

一物降一物there is always one thing to conquer another.

不要译为:every existence has its vanquisher

36谚语翻译要注意语言的艺术性,一要注意用词的精炼,二要注意上下句的对仗。不能只用于随便的口语句子来翻译原文。

嘴上没毛。说话不牢。Downy lips make thoughtless slips

不可译为:a man without mustache or beard may make careless remarks。

吃一堑长一智 a fall in the pit,a gain in the wit .

不可译为:let us learn from our mistakes.

37我能和你说句话吗?--滚开!

Can I have a word with you ?—Sod off!

38去你们的,我可要回家了。Balls to the lot of you . I?m going home!

39谁他妈的把电视机搞坏了?Who has fucked up the TV?

40不要胡说八道!don?t talk crap/shit!

41小妇养的!动了兵器了。

Son of bitches!They?re using weapons now。

42忘了本的小娼妇!

Ungrateful slut!

43他妈的,你们有话就说吧!

If you have something to say ,say it ,damn you !

44还有你这个浪货,跟谁不行,非跟他!

And you too, you baggage. Couldn?t you have picked somebody else ? why did it to be him ?

45王八蛋们,怎么又在这碰上啦?

You devils ,so we meet again。

46鲁侍萍:(大哭起来)哦,这真是一群强盗。(走至周萍面前,抽噎)你是萍,——凭——凭什么打我儿子的?

Lu Shiping (breaking down) you are hooligans, too! (going across to Zhou Ping )you?re my ——mighty free with your shits! What right have you to bit my son?

47中国还有一句成语,3个臭皮匠顶个诸葛亮。单独的诸葛亮总是不完全的,总是有缺陷的。

Sill another Chinese proverb says three cobblers with their wits combined equal zhuge liang the mastermind. Zhuge liang by himself can never be perfect ,he has his limitations.

48这对年轻夫妇并不匹配,一个是西施,一个是张飞。

This young couple is not well matched ,one is a XiShi——a famous Chinese beauty ,while another is a ZhangFei ——a well-known ill-tempered brute.

49鸳鸯:“我是横了心的,当着众人在这里,我这一辈子莫说是‘宝玉’,便是…宝金?, …宝银? …宝天地?, …宝皇帝?,横竖不嫁人就完了!”

译文1:Well,my mind?s made up. Everybody here can bear witness. I shall never marry so

long as I live ,neither Bayu with his precious jade, nor someone born with silver or gold ,not even a Heavenly or Emperor!”

译文2 :But I?ve made my mind up, and I?m telling your Ladyship here, in front of all these witnesses. I don?t care whether it?s Master Bao or Prince Bao or the Emperor Bao, I don?t ever want to marry anyone . .

50有话明说,在这鬼鬼祟祟的做什么?

Why not talk openly instead of in this hole-and corner fashion?

51钱先生周岁时“抓周”,抓了一本书,因此得名为“钟书”。

When Qian was just one year old ,he was told by his parents to choose one thing among many others:; he picked up a book of all things. Thereupon his father very gladly gave him the name ;Zhongshu.

52 他说他老师认为他的文章很精彩,但我从他老师那里听到的确是“王婆卖瓜自卖自夸”

He said that his teacher considered his work brilliant ,but I would rather hear it from his teacher?s own mouth, every potters praises his own pot.

53 一肚子的酒,几乎化为醋酸。。。

The wine in Hsin-mei?s stomach turned to sour vinegar in his jealousy.

《汉英翻译教程》-作者不详,在此致谢! 第一章 词的选择 词义的正确选择首先取决于对原文的确切理解,而对原文词义的确切理解又取决于对原文上下文的推敲。有些词看起来很简单,翻译时一下子就会想到常用的对应词。但又是最常用的对应词却不能准确地表达原作的意思。例如: 还要努力读一点历史和小说。 We should also find time to read some history books and novels. 这里“努力”一词理解为“挤出时间”是对的,如译为make an effort,则会使人误解为我们文化水平低,读历史和小说很费力。 再比如“水平”一词译成英语,不一定都是level, 要根据句子的含义确定译法。 1.他的英语水平比我的高。 He knows more English than I. 这里,汉语“水平”一词虽未译出,但其以已含在句子中。若照汉语字面应译成:The level of his English is higher than that of mine.就不符合英语表达习惯。 2.要奋发图强,把我军的军政素质提高到一个新的水平……。 We must work hard to r aise to a new height the military and political quality of our army……. 这里“水平”指高度,故译作height,和动词搭配也比较顺。 3.各级领导干部必须提高领导水平。 Cadres at all levels should improve their art of leadership. 这里的“领导水平”,实际上指领导能力、领导艺术、故译作art of leadership. 以上的例子说明一个词的具体含义往往要结合上下文才能确定,在翻译的时候也只有结合上下文来考虑怎样处理这个词,才能译得准确。因此在辨析词义和正确选词时可注意下列几种情况。 (一)注意词的广义与狭义 英语中有不少同义词的词义有广、狭之区别,运用范围也就各不相同。例如 1.农业是国民经济的基础。 Agriculture is the foundation of the national economy. 原文“农业”一词是广义,指一切农业经济(农、牧、林、渔),古译作agriculture。但在“农林牧副渔结合的方针”中,农与林木副渔并立,是指耕作的农业,不是指整个农业经济,古译作farming。整个词组应译为the principle of combining farming, forestry, animal husbandry, side-occupations and fishery. 2.他从不喝酒。 He never touches wine. 原文“酒”是指一切酒类,故译作wine。但在“他不喝烈性酒”一句中,“酒”是狭义,是和淡性酒相对而言的,又需译作spirits。 (二)注意词义的强弱 3.反动派的暴行激起了人民的极大愤怒。 The atrocities of the reactionaries roused the people to great indignation. 这里的“愤怒”含义强烈,故在译文中选用了indignation,而不用anger. 4.孙中山是个好人。 Dr. Sun Y et-sen was a man of integrity. 如果译作a good man, 则与这位伟大的革命先行者的身份不相称。 (三)注意词义的褒贬

第一章 汉英语言对比 相关参考: 翻译教学和研究的经验表明:翻译理论和技巧必须建立在不同语言和文化的对比分析基础上。英汉互译的几项基本原则和技巧,如选词(Diction)、转换(Conversion)、增补(Amplification)、省略(Omission)、重复(Repetition)、替代(Substitution)、变换(Variation)、倒臵(Inversion)、拆离(Division)、缀合(Combination)、阐释(Annotation)、浓缩(Condensation)、重组(Reconstruction),以及时态、语态、语气、习语、术语等的译法,都集中地体现了英汉的不同特点。机器翻译是让计算机按照人们所制定的程序和指令进行不同语言的对比转换,也离不开对比分析。翻译之所以困难,归根结底是因为语言差异和文化差异。因此,对比、分析和归纳这些差异,便是翻译学的重要任务。 不同语言的对比分析不仅有利于教学和翻译,也有助于语言交际。通过对比分析,人们可以进一步认识外语和母语的特性,在进行交际时,能够有意识地注意不同语言各自的表现方法,以顺应这些差异,防止表达错误,避免运用失当,从而达到交际的目的。 ——连淑能,《英汉对比研究》 纪德是最理解莎士比亚的法国作家之一。在他看来,“没有任何作家比莎士比亚更值得翻译”,但同时,“也没有任何作家比他更难翻译,译文更容易走样”。纪德对莎士比亚的理解是双重的,既是精神的,也是语言的。他在与莎士比亚的相遇与相识中,经历了一系列的考验。对他在翻译中经历的这番历史奇遇,他曾在为七星文库出版的《莎士比亚戏剧集》撰写的前言中作了详尽的描述:描述了两种文化与两种语言之间的遭遇,也揭示了翻译中译者所面临的种种障碍。 纪德首先看到的,是语言与文化层面的逻辑性,这涉及到不同语言的思维方法。他说:“莎士比亚很少考虑逻辑性,而我们拉丁文化缺了逻辑性就踉踉跄跄。莎士比亚笔下的形象相互重现,相互推倒。面对如此丰富的形象,我们可怜的译者目瞪口呆。他不愿意对这种绚丽多彩有丝毫遗漏,因此不得不将英文原本中用仅仅一个词表示的暗喻译成一个句子。原来像蛇一样紧紧盘成一团的诗意,如今成了松开的弹簧。翻译成了解释。逻辑倒是很满意,但魅力不再起作用。莎士比亚的诗句飞跃而过的空间,迟缓的熊虫一瘸一拐才能走完。”在紧密的逻辑与丰富的形象之间,英语与法语的天平有所侧重,在两者的遭遇中,译者的无奈与局限源于文化与语言的巨大差异。 头脑清醒的纪德没有丝毫责备英语或莎士比亚的语言的意思,相反,在翻译莎士比亚的戏剧中,他充分意识到了母语的缺陷。他说:“只有在接触外语时,我们才意识到本国语言的缺陷,因此,只会法语的法国人是看不到缺陷的。”他的这一观点与德国作家歌德的观点几乎是一致的。异之于我,可作一明镜,从异中更清楚地照清自身。在这个意义上,与异语文化的接触,有助于认识母语与母语文化的不足。看清了自身的不足,便有可能从异语异文化中去摄取营养,弥补自身,丰富自身。 在艰难的翻译中,纪德亲历了种种障碍,他结合翻译中的具体例证,作了某

《英汉翻译基础教程》 笔记及习题(篇章翻译)【圣才出品】

第7单元篇章翻译 7.1 复习笔记 语篇通常指一系列连续的语段或句子构成的语言整体。语篇包括“话语”(discourse)和“篇章”(text)。语篇特征为:连贯、衔接,且具有明确的论题结构。 一、衔接 根据Halliday和Hasan的著作《英语中的衔接》,衔接手段大致可分为两种:语法衔接手段(grammatical cohesion)和词汇衔接手段(lexical cohesion)。前者又可以包括指称(reference)、省略(ellipsis)、替代(substitution)和连词(conjunction)。 1. 指代 指代主要分为三类:人称指代、指示指代和比较指代。 英语中,为了实现衔接,一般尽量采用代词指代前面出现的名词。汉语倾向于重复前文出现的名词,或者采用“零式指称”,省略主语。例: My friend looked somewhat ill at ease when he told me this: At the time when he bought this big house, his children had all been at school. Now they had their own homes and jobs. 【译文】朋友有点不好意思地说,买这座房子时,孩子们还在上学,如今都成家立业了。 2. 省略

省略可以分为名词省略、动词省略和小句省略。例: I had many wonderful ideas, but I only put a few into practice. 【译文】我有很多美妙的想法,但是只把少数付诸实践了。 3. 替代 “替代”指用较简短的语言形式替代上文中的某些词语,使行文简练流畅。 (1)名词替代比较常见的是使用one代替前文出现的某个名词。例: Carrie picked out the new abode because of its newness and bright wood—work. It was one of the very new ones supplied with steam heat, which was a great advantage.(Sister Carrie, Dreiser, T) 【译文】嘉莉选中这套新居所,是因为它是新建的,而且房间的木质部分色泽鲜亮,屋里有暖气,这是当时最新的房子才有的。 【分析】原文中,ones替代了abode;译文中,“房子”与其前面的“居所”构成同义词。 (2)动词替代经常是用助动词do的几种形式来代替前文出现的某个动词或动作意义。例: And yet this John Openshaw seems to me to be walking amid even greater perils than did the Sholtos. 【译文】可是在我看来,这个约翰·奥彭肖似乎是正在面临着比舒尔托更大的危险。 【分析】原文中,did替代了walked amid peril;译文中,该处同样进行了省略处理。 (3)小句替代使用指示代词指代前文出现的某一小句或者某一概念。例: “Well, I’ve got twenty-two dollars, but there’s everything to be paid for this

第18章文学翻译 18.1 复习笔记 一、文学翻译的标准 对于文学翻译的要求是,“用另一种语言,把原作的艺术意境传达出来,使读者在读译文的时候能够像读原作时一样得到启发、感动和美的感受”。 钱钟书把文学翻译的最高标准概括为一个“化”字。 二、文学翻译的过程 借鉴茅盾的有关解释,把文学翻译过程分为三个阶段: (1) 理解阶段; (2) 印证阶段; (3) 表达阶段。 在表达阶段强调的内容是: (1) 必须使用文学语言; (2) 尽量保持原作风格; (3) 力求内容和形式的辩证统一。 三、文学翻译须使用文学语言 这里仅介绍英文小说翻译的几个侧面:

1. 文学语言具有准确、形象、生动、自然等特征,译者应根据原作的艺术意境和语言特色,在译文里寻找适当的语言形式,使之文情并茂。 Daffodils all along the hedgerow swung like yellow, ruffled birds on their perches. 清风徐徐,沿灌木篱笆旁的水仙花轻轻地摇摆着,颇似栖息的鸟儿掀动着金黄色羽毛。 2. 运用娴熟的汉语,再现人物语言的形象化和个性化,使译文产生“如闻其声,如见其人”的艺术效果。 “Say, some tenderness, that!” This is reference to a smile or a melting glance on the part of a female. “唷,瞧那样多温存!”这说的是一位女性的嫣然一笑,或者回眸传情。 3. 凭借自己的审美体验,深刻理解原作的艺术美,进而形神兼备地再现这种艺术美。 四、加强文学翻译的基本功训练 有兴趣于或有志于从事文学翻译的青年,可在课内外分门别类地选做一些练习,以集中提高某些方面的表述能力。 18.2 课后习题详解 将下列英文译成汉语: 1. One morning, in the fall of 1880, a middle-aged woman, accompanied by a young girl of inquiry as to whether there was anything a- bout the place that she could do. She was of a helpless, fleshy build, with a frank, open countenance and

英汉翻译教程张培基【完整版】

《英汉翻译教程》 第一章总论 翻译是运用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的思维内容准确完整地重新表达出来的语言活动。 (张培基等1983) 我国早期典籍《周礼·秋官司寇》篇里就有―象胥‖(谓通言语之官)这一名目,唐朝贾公彦所作的《义疏》里提到―译即易,谓换易言语使相解也。‖这条注疏,关于翻译的定义,足以给人不少启发。用现代文艺理论和语言理论,也许可以诠释为:翻译是把一种语言文字换易成另一种语言文字,而并不变更所蕴含的意义,——或用近年流行的术语说,并不变更所传递的信息,——以达到彼此沟通,互相了解的目的。 (罗新璋1984) 一、关于翻译 何谓翻译?关于翻译的定义很多。根据《现代汉语词典》,翻译是―把一种语言文字的意义用另一种语言文字表达出来‖。根据《剑桥语言百科全书》,―翻译‖这个中性术语是指将一种语言(―原语‖)里的词句的意思转变为另一种语言(―目的语‖)的意思所做的一切,不论其手段是说话、写字还是做手势。美国著名翻译理论家奈达认为,所谓翻译,是指从语义到语体在译语中用最切近而又最自然的对等语再现原语的信息。(《奈达论翻译》,1984)有人把翻译看作是一门科学(science),因为它有自身的规律可循;有人看作是一门艺术(art),因为它是译者对原文再创造的过程;也有人看作是一门手艺(craft),因为原语的信息需要用地道恰当的目的语再现。在自动化数据处理中,翻译又被定义为:―将计算机信息从一种语言转换成另一种语言,或将字符从一种表示转换成另一种表示。‖(《现代科学技术词典》上海科学技术出版社1980)凡此种种,不一而足。但是,在经济和文化日益全球化的今天,翻译的重要性是有目共睹的。 翻译是国际间理解的钥匙,据说西欧的文明归功于翻译者(据L·G·凯里1979)。季羡林教授也说,翻译是永葆中华文明青春的万应灵药。前中国驻联合国代表凌青先生说,从中国来讲,没有翻译工作,就没有中国***和中国近代的革命运动,就没有中国成功的对外开放和四个现代化;从世界范围来讲,没有翻译,就没有世界和平,就没有各种国际交往,就没有一个共同繁荣的美好世界的未来。中国加入WTO后,翻译的重要作用就更是不可忽视。经济竞争是在交际中进行,而没有翻译在场,交际就很难进行,交际不成,生意就做不成。因此,翻译的作用,再怎么强调也不过分。 关于翻译的种类可以从下面几个角度来划分: (1)从原语和目的语的角度来看,翻译可分为本族语译为外语,外语译为本族语两大类。 (2)从翻译的手段来看,可分为口译、笔译、手势翻译和机器翻译。
