第一篇:實(shí)用文體翻譯1 (10)
談?wù)剬ι虅?wù)文體翻譯的理解
商務(wù)英語轉(zhuǎn)本1 姜麗麗 13號
對于翻譯其實(shí)每位大學(xué)生都不陌生,但是怎么翻譯地正確、精彩便是一個很大的問題。翻譯是一門博大精深的學(xué)問,是全世界各國都積極研究和探討的學(xué)問。作為二十一世紀(jì)的我們,如今翻譯依然是必不可少的,現(xiàn)在的專家與學(xué)者,更加致力于將最本質(zhì)最原始的文化傳遞開來,而不是簡單的字面含義的傳遞。這就需要翻譯者的水平不斷提升,以達(dá)到翻譯“信、達(dá)、雅”的準(zhǔn)則。
這學(xué)期我們學(xué)習(xí)了實(shí)用文體翻譯這門課程。對于翻譯這門課程我們并不陌生,因?yàn)樵谏弦粚W(xué)期已經(jīng)接觸到翻譯課程。相對來說,漢譯英學(xué)習(xí)起來比英譯漢要難一些,但是顧老師結(jié)合書本上的例子以及他的文章給我們具體講解,讓我們更進(jìn)一步了解翻譯的重要性。在翻譯的過程中,往往會犯一些很幼稚的錯誤,釀成笑話。顧老師曾經(jīng)說過:“衡量一個人的英語水平,并不是看他的詞匯量,而是看他的翻譯水平?!毕胍g,你必須先是一個Major。例如:(a)A particular average is an insurance loss that affects specific interests only.(b)A general average is an insurance loss that affects all cargo interests on board the vessel as well as the ship herself.[原譯](a)個別海損(particular average),指僅涉及某項(xiàng)具體財(cái)物的保險損失(b)綜合海損(general average),指涉及船上的所有貨物和船本身的保險損失。這是一個貨物保險條款的術(shù)語,有3處錯誤,particular average應(yīng)為單獨(dú)海損,general average應(yīng)為共同海損,interest應(yīng)為利益方。這個就是典型的專業(yè)術(shù)語沒有學(xué)好。
到目前為止我們已經(jīng)學(xué)習(xí)了5周,我總結(jié)了一些自己對實(shí)用文體翻譯學(xué)習(xí)的看法。
第一,要想把翻譯搞好,就要把基礎(chǔ)知識弄扎實(shí),穩(wěn)固的基礎(chǔ)知識是良好翻譯的前提。在這樣的前提下,就需要我們平時多積累單詞,沒有大的詞匯量根本沒有辦法順利完成翻譯。單詞不用刻意去背,但一定要從平時的學(xué)習(xí)中去總結(jié),去積累。值得注意的是一些固定搭配的詞匯、俚語或成語,和在特定場合或在專業(yè)領(lǐng)域里有著不同解釋的詞匯。其次,語法知識的牢固是英語專業(yè)必須做到的本質(zhì)工作,牢固的語法知識會幫助我們理解和翻譯。若語法不牢,那就根本不懂句子的邏輯關(guān)系,從而不能理解其所表達(dá)的含義。此外,各個方面的知識也需要我們的掌握。這也是英語專業(yè)區(qū)別于非英語專業(yè)的一個特點(diǎn)。不僅是文化方面,經(jīng)濟(jì),政治,飲食等等都需要積累。因?yàn)閷砣粢獜氖路g,那是觸及到知識的方方面面,各行各業(yè),知識的積累就能幫助做到面面俱到。學(xué)習(xí)英語翻譯,就是學(xué)會將母語中文翻譯成英語,以及把英語翻譯成中文的一個過程。除了要對英語知識的掌握以外,母語也不能被丟掉。我們還需要多閱讀中文書籍,多揣摩中文的字詞句,這樣表達(dá)上就會更靈巧,翻譯的也會更得體。翻譯是一個慢慢積累的過程,是不能夠通過突擊,或是猛攻就一下子能掌握得很好的一門學(xué)問。
第二,翻譯學(xué)習(xí)除了要不斷地積累之外還要不斷地練習(xí)。在掌握了一定的知識儲備之后就要把它們拿來操練。多練習(xí)翻譯,并且拿自己的與參考譯文來做比較,找出自己的不足,一定要從專業(yè)的角度來分析。比如,是翻譯采用的方法不對還是詞義的選擇不準(zhǔn)確,是語法功底不足還是詞匯的稀少。
我對翻譯課的建議就是,可以給大家再從更廣的方面普及知識,讓我們的翻譯內(nèi)容涉及各個方面,培養(yǎng)大家的英語思維,將翻譯與日常生活相結(jié)合。
第二篇:不同文體翻譯
復(fù)習(xí)版筆記(3)第三部分:不同文體翻譯 散文翻譯
一、散文的特點(diǎn)
散文是文學(xué)中常見的體裁,它選材廣泛,結(jié)構(gòu)靈活,表現(xiàn)手法多樣,如敘事!抒情!議論等,主要特點(diǎn)是:體物寫志,行散神聚。―形散―是指散文運(yùn)筆如風(fēng),不拘形式,清淡自然;―神聚‖指意旨明確,緊湊集中,既散得開,又收得攏;既有豪放的特色,又有清幽的特征。真正的散文是充滿詩意的,就像蘋果里飽含著果汁一樣(巴烏斯托夫斯基語)。優(yōu)美的散文藝術(shù)性在于新穎的構(gòu)思,充沛的感情,豐富的想像,簡潔精粹的語言和耐人尋味的意境“散文也常常被比作小而境界深邃的園林。作者運(yùn)筆看似信手拈來,實(shí)則字斟句酌,環(huán)環(huán)相扣,使讀者浮想聯(lián)翩。文論家劉勰說道: ―情動而言行,理發(fā)而文見‖,由此可見散文貴在以巧取勝,以巧妙的語言、巧的意境來打動讀者,給讀者以最大審美愉悅。既然散文有豐富的藝術(shù)魅力,那么它的審美效果又如何在譯文中傳達(dá)呢?俄國著名翻譯家吉加切奇拉澤在《文藝翻譯與文學(xué)交流》一書中談到文藝翻譯的總的指導(dǎo)原則時認(rèn)為:―理想的文藝翻譯首先是在藝術(shù)上,而不是在語言上和原文一致。即使達(dá)不到這一目標(biāo),也應(yīng)全力以求,離目標(biāo)越近越好‖。在加氏看來,作家的思想表現(xiàn)在文字形象以及一定的語調(diào)和節(jié)奏結(jié)構(gòu)上,每個句子由若干語調(diào)、意群或若干句素組成,它們的意義合構(gòu)成句子。因此,他認(rèn)為文藝翻譯的過程也應(yīng)當(dāng)根據(jù)上面的模式進(jìn)行。不過譯者不能機(jī)械地重復(fù)創(chuàng)作過程的所有階段,譯者應(yīng)努力把通過文字形象表達(dá)的原作的思想用另一種語言再現(xiàn)出來,當(dāng)然同時要有兼顧文學(xué)文本所特有的語調(diào)、節(jié)奏和句構(gòu)特點(diǎn),作為文學(xué)翻譯形式之一的散文翻譯,自然也要求譯者在傳譯過程中,不僅要傳達(dá)出原文的語流!節(jié)奏和句子結(jié)構(gòu)等語義信息,更應(yīng)著重傳達(dá)原文的藝術(shù)神韻,以使目標(biāo)讀者在讀譯文時可以獲得和原文讀者讀原文時同樣的語義和美學(xué)的雙重享受。
二、散文英譯
以張培基的《英譯中國現(xiàn)代散文選》為例:(一)句子短小精悍,結(jié)構(gòu)簡單
從理論上說,英語語言與漢語語言相比,英語句子―常常是環(huán)扣相嵌,盤根錯節(jié),句中有句‖,也就是所謂的―樓房建筑法‖(architecture style)。而漢語以散句、松句、緊縮句、省略句、流水句等短句居多[4 ](P48the26)
譯文句子多為簡單句和并列句,譯文干凈、利落,通俗易懂,給人一種清爽自然之美,而沒有盤根錯節(jié)之迷惑。(二)用詞簡單、通俗
張培基先生在翻譯散文時, 很少使用生僻詞(bigwords),主要使用普通的形容詞、副詞和動詞等,以達(dá)到言簡意賅。例如:
1.他的腦子也不小,但他的記性卻不很精明,他的思想也不很細(xì)密?!恫畈欢嘞壬鷤鳌稨is brain is none too small ,but he is weak in memory and sloppy in thinking.2.他用兩手攀著上面,兩腳再向上縮;他肥胖的身子向左微傾。??過鐵道時,他先將橘子散放在地上,自己慢慢爬下,再抱起橘子走?!侗秤啊稨is hands held onto the upper part of the platform ,his legs huddled up and his corpulent body tipped slightly towards the left , ??In crossing the railway track,he first put the tangerines on the ground ,climbed down slowly and then picked them up again.3.燕子去了,有再來的時候;楊柳枯了,有再青的時候;桃花謝了,有再開的時候。但是,聰明的,你告訴我,我們的日子為什么一去不復(fù)返呢? ———《匆匆》If swallows go away ,they will come back again.If willows wither,they will turn green again.If peach blossoms fade,they will flower again.But ,tell me ,you the wise ,why should our days go by never to return ?
從以上的摘錄我們可以看出,張先生翻譯的風(fēng)格用詞方面樸實(shí)無華,對保存原文風(fēng)格起到至關(guān)重要的作用。(三)修辭上力求通俗易懂
一般說來,散文中修辭格用得相當(dāng)少。但張培基先生在翻譯中對于這一小部分語言要素也不忽略,認(rèn)真處理,使譯文沒有生硬的感覺。例如:
1.他也說我一天不寫文章第二天就沒有飯吃?!杜笥选?借代)
He also says that I would have nothing to live on once I should lay down my pen.意譯法處理該句符合英語表達(dá)習(xí)慣,如直譯為―have no rice to eat‖,一定會引起歧義,讓人費(fèi)解。
2.弓兒似的新月,掛在樹梢?!缎Α?明喻)
The crescent new moon looked as if hanging on the tips of the trees.譯文仍然用比喻的修辭手法翻譯原文的比喻,但卻轉(zhuǎn)移了喻體, ―弓兒似的‖如果直譯成bowdecision‖等.但作為外事翻譯主體,必須清楚其翻譯的目的和意圖,外事翻譯強(qiáng)調(diào)翻譯的程式化和莊嚴(yán)化,所以在翻譯時可以采用的策略受到嚴(yán)格限制.《中英聯(lián)合聲明》不是一個簡單的條約或者協(xié)議,因此在翻譯的時候?yàn)榱嗣鞔_表達(dá)《中英聯(lián)合聲明》的內(nèi)在意義及莊重性,選擇的詞匯是―Joint Declaration‖.同樣的道理,在《聯(lián)合聲明》中,一個重要的內(nèi)容就是表明中國政府對香港―恢復(fù)行使主權(quán)‖.但是在―恢復(fù)行使主權(quán)‖的翻譯上,中英雙方有很大分歧.中方最初先提議用―recover sovereignty‖,英方提議用―a transfer of sovereignty‖。很明顯,由于翻譯主體的不同,彼此表達(dá)的意義完全不同.中方的翻譯是―收回主權(quán)‖,而英方的翻譯是―主權(quán)移交‖,而且由于不定冠詞―a‖有貶低―移交‖的意義,因此英方的翻譯是我方不能接受的.最后,經(jīng)過我國法律專家的研究后,認(rèn)為使用―resume the exercise of sovereignty‖較為恰當(dāng),這一譯文表明:我們國家以前對香港的主權(quán),并不是―喪失‖,而是由于種種原因―未能行使‖,現(xiàn)在則是重新―恢復(fù)行使主權(quán)‖??梢?定稿后的譯文就正確的反映了翻譯主體的意圖 2)譯文的可接受性
譯文的可接受性指的是譯文是否符合目的語的文化和體裁慣例,是否通俗易懂.可接受性的高低直接影響翻譯的效果.外事翻譯與文學(xué)翻譯不同的是,它并不強(qiáng)調(diào)語言的優(yōu)美而側(cè)重于語言的可接受性及理解性.作為傳遞信息的主要載體,翻譯中應(yīng)側(cè)重于忠實(shí)和連貫:即要遵守外事翻譯中的準(zhǔn)確性及精確性、一致性及同一性、專業(yè)性和規(guī)范性原則.例如1999 年10 月我國外交部發(fā)言人曾就巴基斯坦局勢發(fā)表看法:―我們十分關(guān)注巴基斯坦的局勢發(fā)展,正在進(jìn)一步了解情況.‖我國翻譯人員把這句話譯成―We are very much concerned about the developments in Pakistan and making further investigation into it‖.這樣的翻譯就不符合巴基斯坦的文化慣例.因此,巴基斯坦駐華大使在新聞發(fā)布會后,立即要求中國政府做出澄清.因?yàn)楱Dconcerned‖一詞含有否定意思,即有不好的事情發(fā)生時,某人對此表示―關(guān)注‖.。巴基斯坦大使認(rèn)為,中國和巴基斯坦是―全天候朋友‖,中國政府不應(yīng)該用與西方國家相同的詞來表達(dá)態(tài)度.因此,將原文譯成―We have been watching the developments in Pakistan very closely and are waiting for further information‖,則既能表明中國政府在巴基斯坦問題上的一貫立場,又能夠避免上述矛盾的產(chǎn)生.3)文化的特殊性
翻譯目的論認(rèn)為翻譯不僅是語言的翻譯,而且也是文化的翻譯,翻譯涉及兩種文化的比較.文化的特殊性是指在進(jìn)行兩種文化對比時,存在于一種文化而不存在于另一種文化的現(xiàn)象.外事翻譯首先就是一種跨語言、跨文化的翻譯.我們不僅要掌握語言的表面形式,還要熟悉語言深層的文化內(nèi)涵.如果我們不尊重和不了解外國受眾的思維習(xí)慣,超越語言和文化的差異,熟練地運(yùn)用貼近其信息需求和思維習(xí)慣的英語語言,我們的傳播效果就會受到很大影響.例如,央視國際網(wǎng)站有關(guān)中國新聞的一則報道: ―Chinese leaders have joined noted intellectuals at a party to celebrate the Lantern Festival.The event took place at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.‖
分析: 對中國受眾來說, 沒有必要對―Lantern Festival‖加以說明,因?yàn)槎贾肋@是元宵節(jié),農(nóng)歷正月十五,是家人團(tuán)聚的時刻.但這一點(diǎn)需要向外國受眾說明,不然他們會感到困惑:為什么中國領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人要與著名知識分子一起歡度這個節(jié)日呢? 當(dāng)然,在新聞里,不能提供太具體的背景知識,要恰到好處,呈現(xiàn)出最重要的信息.建議:―Chinese leaders have joined noted intellectuals at a party to celebrate the Lantern Festival ,an important day for a family reunion ,which marks the end of the Spring Festival celebration.3 外事翻譯中的主要失誤 1)語言性翻譯失誤
這種失誤主要包括語句型和語意型兩種.前者如語法誤解、單詞誤看、短語誤識等等;后者如過度意譯、斷章取譯、邏輯混亂等等.例如,1999 年3 月朱總理在回答《時代》周刊記者時說:―我不認(rèn)為我對美國的訪問將要進(jìn)入?地雷陣‘,但是確實(shí)會遇到很多敵意和不友好的氣氛‖.譯文: I don‘t think my visit to the United States will bring me into a minefield ,but I do expect to encounter some hostile or some unfriendly at mosphere there.該譯文用了―bring into‖和―I do expect to encounter‖,似乎訪問美國就是進(jìn)人地雷陣并確實(shí)期待敵意.若改為involve entering 和may really meet 則更貼切.改譯: I don‘t think my trip to the United States involves entering a minefield ,but I may really meet with much hostility or unfriendliness there.2)文化性翻譯失誤
與語言性失誤相比,文化性翻譯失誤是一種宏觀與具體層次上均存在的―功能性翻譯失誤‖.目的論所說的文化性翻譯失誤指譯文中與譯語文化規(guī)范和慣例相沖突之處,在外事翻譯中主要體現(xiàn)在術(shù)語的隨譯.例如:計(jì)劃經(jīng)濟(jì)時代,我國提到的―外向型經(jīng)濟(jì)‖就是指以出口為主的經(jīng)濟(jì),因此譯文可以是―exportmarket-oriented economy‖.又如,對于―五講四美三熱愛‖的譯文:―the movement of five stresses ,four points of beauty , and three aspects of love ,‖這就是一個存在失誤的譯文,很多外國人誤解為―五個重點(diǎn),四個美女,三個情人‖.這就是一種文化性的失誤,直譯導(dǎo)致了內(nèi)容的歪曲,信息的損失,理解上的困難.因此,可以采取補(bǔ)加譯注或解釋性的翻譯,使原語內(nèi)容準(zhǔn)確傳遞給讀者.改譯為:―stress on decorum ,manners ,hygiene ,discipline and morals;beauty of the mind ,language ,behavior , and the environment;love of the motherland ,socialism and the Communist Party.‖對于這種中西文化差異以及漢語表達(dá)的濃厚中國特色帶來的障礙,就要求譯者具備嫻熟的雙語基本功和廣博的文化知識,能根據(jù)上下文準(zhǔn)確理解原文習(xí)俗語的喻義并加以變通。
復(fù)習(xí)版筆記(2)第二部分常用翻譯技巧
英漢兩種語言在句法、詞匯、修辭等方面均存在著很大的差異,因此在進(jìn)行英漢互譯時必然會遇到很多困難,需要有一定的翻譯技巧作指導(dǎo)。常用的翻譯技巧有增譯法、省譯法、轉(zhuǎn)換法、拆句法、合并法、正譯法、反譯法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重組法和綜合法等。
1增譯法:指根據(jù)英漢兩種語言不同的思維方式、語言習(xí)慣和表達(dá)方式,在翻譯時增添一些詞、短句或句子,以便更準(zhǔn)確地表達(dá)出原文所包含的意義。這種方式多半用在漢譯英里。漢語無主句較多,而英語句子一般都要有主語,所以在翻譯漢語無主句的時候,除了少數(shù)可用英語無主句、被動語態(tài)或”There be…“結(jié)構(gòu)來翻譯以外,一般都要根據(jù)語境補(bǔ)出主語,使句子完整。英漢兩種語言在名詞、代詞、連詞、介詞和冠詞的使用方法上也存在很大差別。英語中代詞使用頻率較高,凡說到人的器官和歸某人所有的或與某人有關(guān)的事物時,必須在前面加上物主代詞。因此,在漢譯英時需要增補(bǔ)物主代詞,而在英譯漢時又需要根據(jù)情況適當(dāng)?shù)貏h減。英語詞與詞、詞組與詞組以及句子與句子的邏輯關(guān)系一般用連詞來表示,而漢語則往往通過上下文和語序來表示這種關(guān)系。因此,在漢譯英時常常需要增補(bǔ)連詞。英語句子離不開介詞和冠詞。另外,在漢譯英時還要注意增補(bǔ)一些原文中暗含而沒有明言的詞語和一些概括性、注釋性的詞語,以確保譯文意思的完整??傊ㄟ^增譯,一是保證譯文語法結(jié)構(gòu)的完整,二是保證譯文意思的明確。如:(1)What about calling him right away? 馬上給他打個電話,你覺得如何?(增譯主語和謂語)
(2)If only I could see the realization of the four modernizations.要是我能看到四個現(xiàn)代化實(shí)現(xiàn)該有多好?。。ㄔ鲎g主句)(3)Indeed, the reverse is true 實(shí)際情況恰好相反。(增譯名詞)
(4)就是法西斯國家本國的人民也被剝奪了人權(quán)。
Even the people in the fascist countries were stripped of their human rights.(增譯物主代詞)
(5)只許州官放火,不許百姓點(diǎn)燈。
While the magistrates were free to burn down house, the common people were forbidden to light lamps.(增譯連詞)
(6)這是我們兩國人民的又一個共同點(diǎn)。
This is yet another common point between the people of our two countries.(增譯介詞)(7)在人權(quán)領(lǐng)域,中國反對以大欺小、以強(qiáng)凌弱。
In the field of human rights, China opposes the practice of the big oppressing the small and the
strong bullying the weak.(增譯暗含詞語)(8)三個臭皮匠,合成一個諸葛亮。
Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang the mastermind.(增譯注釋性詞語)
2.省譯法:這是與增譯法相對應(yīng)的一種翻譯方法,即刪去不符合目標(biāo)語思維習(xí)慣、語言習(xí)慣和表達(dá)方式的詞,以避免譯文累贅。增譯法的例句反之即可。又如:(1)You will be staying in this hotel during your visit in Beijing.你在北京訪問期間就住在這家飯店里。(省譯物主代詞)(2)I hope you will enjoy your stay here.希望您在這兒過得愉快。(省譯物主代詞)(3)中國政府歷來重視環(huán)境保護(hù)工作。
The Chinese government has always attached great importance to environmental protection.(省譯名詞)
3轉(zhuǎn)換法:指翻譯過程中為了使譯文符合目標(biāo)語的表述方式、方法和習(xí)慣而對原句中的詞類、句型和語態(tài)等進(jìn)行轉(zhuǎn)換。具體的說,就是在詞性方面,把名詞轉(zhuǎn)換為代詞、形容詞、動詞;把動詞轉(zhuǎn)換成名詞、形容詞、副詞、介詞;把形容詞轉(zhuǎn)換成副詞和短語。在句子成分方面,把主語變成狀語、定語、賓語、表語;把謂語變成主語、定語、表語;把定語變成狀語、主語;把賓語變成主語。在句型方面,把并列句變成復(fù)合句,把復(fù)合句變成并列句,把狀語從句變成定語從句。在語態(tài)方面,可以把主動語態(tài)變?yōu)楸粍诱Z態(tài)。如:(1)我們學(xué)院受教委和市政府的雙重領(lǐng)導(dǎo)。
Our institute is co-administrated by the States Education Commission and the municipal government.(名詞轉(zhuǎn)動詞)(2)Too much exposure to TV programs will do great harm to the eyesight of children.孩子們看電視過多會大大地?fù)p壞視力。(名詞轉(zhuǎn)動詞)(3)由于我們實(shí)行了改革開放政策,我國的綜合國力有了明顯的增強(qiáng)。Thanks to the introduction of our reform and opening policy, our comprehensive national strength has greatly improved.(動詞轉(zhuǎn)名詞)(4)I'm all for you opinion.我完全贊成你的意見。(介詞轉(zhuǎn)動詞)
(5)The reform and opening policy is supported by the whole Chinese people.改革開放政策受到了全中國人民的擁護(hù)。(動詞轉(zhuǎn)名詞)
(6)In his article the author is critical of man's negligence toward his environment.作者在文章中,對人類疏忽自身環(huán)境作了批評。(形容詞轉(zhuǎn)名詞)
(7)In some of the European countries, the people are given the biggest social benefits such as medical insurance.在有些歐洲國家里,人民享受最廣泛的社會福利,如醫(yī)療保險等。(被動語態(tài)轉(zhuǎn)主動語態(tài))
(8)時間不早了,我們回去吧!
We don't have much time left.Let's go back.(句型轉(zhuǎn)換)(9)學(xué)生們都應(yīng)該德、智、體全面發(fā)展。
All the students should develop morally, intellectually and physically.(名詞轉(zhuǎn)副詞)
4.拆句法和合并法:這是兩種相對應(yīng)的翻譯方法。拆句法是把一個長而復(fù)雜的句子拆譯成若干個較短、較簡單的句子,通常用于英譯漢;合并法是把若干個短句合并成一個長句,一般用于漢譯英。漢語強(qiáng)調(diào)意合,結(jié)構(gòu)較松散,因此簡單句較多;英語強(qiáng)調(diào)形合,結(jié)構(gòu)較嚴(yán)密,因此長句較多。所以漢譯英時要根據(jù)需要注意利用連詞、分詞、介詞、不定式、定語從句、獨(dú)立結(jié)構(gòu)等把漢語短句連成長句;而英譯漢時又常常要在原句的關(guān)系代詞、關(guān)系副詞、主謂連接處、并列或轉(zhuǎn)折連接處、后續(xù)成分與主體的連接處,以及意群結(jié)束處將長句切斷,譯成漢語分句。這樣就可以基本保留英語語序,順譯全句,順應(yīng)現(xiàn)代漢語長短句相替、單復(fù)句相間的句法修辭原則。如:
(1)Increased cooperation with China is in the interests of the United States.同中國加強(qiáng)合作,符合美國的利益。(在主謂連接處拆譯)
(2)I wish to thank you for the incomparable hospitality for which the Chinese people are justly famous throughout the world.我要感謝你們無與倫比的盛情款待。中國人民正是以這種熱情好客而聞明世界的。(在定語從句前拆譯)
(3)This is particularly true of the countries of the commonwealth, who see Britain's membership of the Community a guarantee that the policies of the community will take their interests into account 英聯(lián)邦各國尤其如此,它們認(rèn)為英國加入歐共體,將能保證歐共體的政策照顧到它們的利益。(在定語從句前拆譯)
(4)中國是個大國,百分之八十的人口從事農(nóng)業(yè),但耕地只占土地面積的十分之一,其余為山脈、森林、城鎮(zhèn)和其他用地。
China is a large country with four-fifths of the population engaged inagriculture, but only one tenth of the land is farmland, the rest being mountains, forests and places for urban and other uses.(合譯)
5.正譯法和反譯法:這兩種方法通常用于漢譯英,偶爾也用于英譯漢。所謂正譯,是指把句子按照與漢語相同的語序或表達(dá)方式譯成英語。所謂反譯則是指把句子按照與漢語相反的語序或表達(dá)方式譯成英語。正譯與反譯常常具有同義的效果,但反譯往往更符合英語的思維方式和表達(dá)習(xí)慣。因此比較地道。如:(1)在美國,人人都能買到槍。
In the United States, everyone can buy a gun.(正譯)
In the United States, guns are available to everyone.(反譯)(2)你可以從因特網(wǎng)上獲得這一信息。
You can obtain this information on the Internet.(正譯)
This information is accessible/available on the Internet.(反譯)(3)他突然想到了一個新主意。
Suddenly he had a new idea.(正譯)
He suddenly thought out a new idea.(正譯)
A new idea suddenly occurred to/struck him.(反譯)(4)他仍然沒有弄懂我的意思。
He still could not understand me.(正譯)
Still he failed to understand me.(反譯)(5)無論如何,她算不上一位思維敏捷的學(xué)生。
She can hardly be rated as a bright student.(正譯)
She is anything but a bright student.(反譯)(6)Please withhold the document for the time being.請暫時扣下這份文件。(正譯)請暫時不要發(fā)這份文件。(反譯)
6.倒置法:在漢語中,定語修飾語和狀語修飾語往往位于被修飾語之前;在英語中,許多修飾語常常位于被修飾語之后,因此翻譯時往往要把原文的語序顛倒過來。倒置法通常用于英譯漢, 即對英語長句按照漢語的習(xí)慣表達(dá)法進(jìn)行前后調(diào)換,按意群或進(jìn)行全部倒置,原則是使?jié)h語譯句安排符合現(xiàn)代漢語論理敘事的一般邏輯順序。有時倒置法也用于漢譯英。如:
(1)At this moment, through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say than on any other occasions in the whole history of the world.此時此刻,通過現(xiàn)代通信手段的奇跡,看到和聽到我們講話的人比整個世界歷史上任何其他這樣的場合都要多。(部分倒置)
(2)I believe strongly that it is in the interest of my countrymen that Britain should remain an active and energetic member of the European Community.我堅(jiān)信,英國依然應(yīng)該是歐共體中的一個積極的和充滿活力的成員,這是符合我國人民利益的。(部分倒置)

Great changes have taken place in China since the introduction of the reform and opening policy.(全部倒置)
7.包孕法:這種方法多用于英譯漢。所謂包孕是指在把英語長句譯成漢語時,把英語后置成分按照漢語的正常語序放在中心詞之前,使修飾成分在漢語句中形成前置包孕。但修飾成分不宜過長,否則會形成拖沓或造成漢語句子成分在連接上的糾葛。如:
(1)You are the representative of a country and of a continent to which China feels particularly close.您是一位來自于使中國倍感親切的國家和大洲的代表。
(2)What brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences.使我們走到一起的,是我們有超越這些分歧的共同利益。.插入法:指把難以處理的句子成分用破折號、括號或前后逗號插入譯句中。這種方法主要用于筆譯中。偶爾也用于口譯中,即用同位語、插入語或定語從句來處理一些解釋性成分。如:
如果說宣布收回香港就會像夫人說的”帶來災(zāi)難性的影響“,那我們要勇敢地面對這個災(zāi)難,做出決策。
If the announcement of the recovery of Hong Kong would bring about, as Madam put it, ”disastrous effects," we will face that disaster squarely and make a new policy decision.9.重組法:指在進(jìn)行英譯漢時,為了使譯文流暢和更符合漢語敘事論理的習(xí)慣,在捋清英語長句的結(jié)構(gòu)、弄懂英語原意的基礎(chǔ)上,徹底擺脫原文語序和句子形式,對句子進(jìn)行重新組合。如:
Decision must be made very rapidly;physical endurance is tested as much as perception, because an enormous amount of time must be spent making certain that the key figures act on the basis of the same information and purpose.必須把大量時間花在確保關(guān)鍵人物均根據(jù)同一情報和目的行事,而這一切對身體的耐力和思維能力都是一大考驗(yàn)。因此,一旦考慮成熟,決策者就應(yīng)迅速做出決策。
10.綜合法:是指單用某種翻譯技巧無法譯出時,著眼篇章,以邏輯分析為基礎(chǔ),同時使用轉(zhuǎn)換法、倒置法、增譯法、省譯法、拆句法等多種翻譯技巧的方法。如: How can the European Union contribute to the development of a European film and television program industry which is competitive in the world market, forward-looking and capable of radiating the influence of European culture and of creating jobs in Europe? 歐洲聯(lián)盟應(yīng)該怎樣做才能對歐洲的電影電視工業(yè)有所貢獻(xiàn),使它在國際市場上具有競爭能力,使它有能力發(fā)揮歐洲文化的影響,并且能夠在歐洲創(chuàng)造更多的就業(yè)機(jī)會呢?

第五篇:英譯漢-文體翻譯(7)演講
第六單元文體翻譯
第五節(jié)演講稿
一、講演稿
?演講稿也叫演說辭,它是在較為隆重的儀式上和某些公眾場所發(fā)表的講話文稿。?演講稿是進(jìn)行演講的依據(jù),是對演講內(nèi)容和形式的規(guī)范和提示,它體現(xiàn)著演講的目的和手段,演講的內(nèi)容和形式。
?演講稿是人們在工作和社會生活中經(jīng)常使用的一種文體,它可以用來交流思想、感情,表達(dá) 主張、見解;也可以用來介紹自己的學(xué)習(xí)、工作情況和經(jīng)驗(yàn)等等;
?演講稿具有宣傳、鼓動、教育和欣賞等作用,它可以把演講者的觀點(diǎn)、主張與思想感情傳達(dá)給聽眾以及讀者,使 他們信服并在思想感情上產(chǎn)生共鳴。
演講稿類屬于講話稿但不同于一般講話稿
?演講稿更加注重選材立意,在選材上多屬主動型,切實(shí)根據(jù)聽眾的愿望和要求,弄清他們關(guān)心和迫切要解決的問題,有的放矢,力求引起最大共鳴。
?在表達(dá)手段上有較多的議論、抒情,將生活中獲得的各種體驗(yàn),由真善美與假丑惡激發(fā)起的各種情感,真實(shí)地傾瀉到演講稿中,動之以情、曉之以理,具有較強(qiáng)的感召力。
?在語言的運(yùn)用上,除了注意口語表達(dá)的特點(diǎn)外,如多用短句,少用長句,語言節(jié)奏感強(qiáng),還應(yīng)適當(dāng)運(yùn)用幽默、雙關(guān)、反語等修辭手法,以達(dá)到在與現(xiàn)場聽眾的交流中,牢牢吸引聽眾的注意力,為順利實(shí)現(xiàn)演講目的作好準(zhǔn)備。
演講稿的特點(diǎn)
?針對性。演講是一種社會活動,是用于公眾場合的宣傳形式。它為了以思想、感情、事例和理論來曉喻聽眾,打動聽眾,“征服”群眾,必須要有現(xiàn)實(shí)的針對性。
?可講性。演講的本質(zhì)在于“講”,而不在于“演”,它以“講”為主、以“演”為輔。由于演講要訴諸口頭,演講稿必須以易說能講為前提。如果說,有些文章和作品主要通過閱讀欣賞,領(lǐng)略其中意義和情味,那么,演講稿的要求則是“上口入耳”。一篇好的演講稿對演講者來說要可講;對聽講者來說應(yīng)好聽。
?鼓動性。演講是一門藝術(shù)。好的演講自有一種激發(fā)聽眾情緒、贏得好感的鼓動性。要做到這一點(diǎn),既要依靠演講稿思想內(nèi)容的豐富、深刻,見解精辟,有獨(dú)到之處,發(fā)人深思,又要語言表達(dá)形象、生動,富有感染力。如果演講稿語言平淡無味,毫無新意,即使在現(xiàn)場“演”得再賣力,效果也不會好,甚至相反。
演講稿翻譯的要求
?就內(nèi)容而言,要主題鮮明,表達(dá)完整;
?就結(jié)構(gòu)而言,要思維清晰,邏輯性強(qiáng);
?就風(fēng)格而言,要保持風(fēng)格,特點(diǎn)突出;
?就語言而言,要有感染力,形象生動。
?一篇好的演講稿,在語言上應(yīng)具有用詞精確,言簡意賅,深入淺出,通俗易懂,扣人心弦等特點(diǎn)。

2、句式: 語言通順,結(jié)構(gòu)嚴(yán)謹(jǐn),表達(dá)流暢。

their lives that that nation might live.譯文:我們來到這里,將戰(zhàn)場的一角奉獻(xiàn)給那些為捍衛(wèi)國家生存而英勇獻(xiàn)身的烈士們,作為他們的安息之地。
