第一篇:“禁止”用英語(yǔ)怎么說(shuō)
與漢語(yǔ)類似,同樣的意思在英語(yǔ)中也可有多種表達(dá)方式,而不同表達(dá)方式之間的差別往往在于語(yǔ)氣和情感,語(yǔ)氣和情感的選擇又取決于具體的環(huán)境,所以英語(yǔ)翻譯一定要考慮具體的場(chǎng)合與對(duì)象,考慮被提示對(duì)象的閱讀心理與情感,意思正確只是翻譯的第一步。下面我們以提示語(yǔ)為例進(jìn)行說(shuō)明。
在中國(guó)的公共場(chǎng)所,我們隨處都可以看到“禁止入內(nèi)”、“禁止踏草坪”以及“違者罰款”等字眼。“禁止”翻譯成英語(yǔ)就是“Don't”,在英文中,“Don't”口氣比較生硬,缺乏委婉之意。如“Don't pick the flowers”(禁止摘花),“Don't throw something out of the train”(禁止往車窗外扔?xùn)|西),“Don't tread on the lawn”(禁止踐踏草坪),“Don't make noise”(禁止喧嘩)等,這些句子無(wú)論是在語(yǔ)法上還是意思上都非常正確,但并不建議大家這么翻譯。因?yàn)椤癉on't”使這些句子語(yǔ)氣顯得太重,易使人產(chǎn)生距離感。公共場(chǎng)合應(yīng)該營(yíng)造的是一種快樂(lè)隨意的氣氛,讓大家身心愉快。一定程度的善意提醒是必要的,但是應(yīng)該盡力避免生硬。而且英語(yǔ)是一種比較強(qiáng)調(diào)委婉的語(yǔ)言,一般不會(huì)在公園這樣的地方使用Don't這樣生硬的詞。如“禁止摘花”可譯做“Keep away from the flowers , please.”或者“Take care of the flowers, please.”同樣表達(dá)一個(gè)意思,但這兩句讓人看了很舒服,一種愛(ài)花的心情油然“牌”上,與豎牌人的初衷一致。尤其“take care of”短語(yǔ)本身帶有擬人色彩,將花看成是一個(gè)baby,提醒人們像愛(ài)護(hù)和關(guān)心baby一樣去愛(ài)護(hù)花木。如此,樹立這個(gè)牌子的目的便達(dá)到了。再比如,“Don't make noise”(禁止喧嘩)這種牌子也經(jīng)??吹剑覀兺耆梢詫⑺g為“Quiet , please.”既簡(jiǎn)練,又標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。因此公共場(chǎng)合不用“Don't”照樣能夠達(dá)到如期的效果。
此外有些公共場(chǎng)所的提示語(yǔ)在英語(yǔ)中往往有其固定的用法,如“No spitting”(禁止吐痰),“No smoking”(禁止吸煙)等等,需要提醒一點(diǎn)的是,No與Don't不一樣,前者更多地被用在中性語(yǔ)境中。我們見(jiàn)到“不許動(dòng)”,腦海中立即閃現(xiàn)“Don't move”, 而事實(shí)上外國(guó)警察所說(shuō)的卻是“Freeze”,或者“Hold it”。見(jiàn)到“動(dòng)我就打死你”自然想到“If you move, I'll shoot you.”,而外國(guó)警察常說(shuō)的卻是“Move and you are dead, man.”所以,我們應(yīng)該掌握外國(guó)人在類似情況下的表達(dá)習(xí)慣,而不是按照自己的思維和表達(dá)方式進(jìn)行翻譯,雖然有時(shí)詞可達(dá)意,但畢竟不夠地道。

六一兒童節(jié)馬上就要到了,可能很多人都不知道六一兒童節(jié)的來(lái)歷,所以,今天益智堂小編就給大家解說(shuō)一下中英版本的六一兒童節(jié)的來(lái)歷。因?yàn)楹芏嗳硕急容^關(guān)注六一兒童節(jié)用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)來(lái)歷這一話題。
六一兒童節(jié)用英語(yǔ)說(shuō)來(lái)歷:
The World Conference for the Well-being of Children in Geneva, Switzerland proclaimed June 1 to be International Children's Day in1925.It is not clear as to why June 1 was chosen as the International Children's Day: one theory has it that the Chinese consul-general in San Francisco(USA)gathered a number of Chinese orphans to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival in 1925, which happened to be on June 1 that year.1925年的時(shí)候,瑞士日內(nèi)瓦國(guó)際會(huì)議上將6月1日設(shè)為“國(guó)際兒童節(jié)”。為什么是6月1日這個(gè)日子呢?事實(shí)上并沒(méi)有一個(gè)相對(duì)準(zhǔn)確的答案。一種說(shuō)法認(rèn)為:由于1925年,位于美國(guó)舊金山的中國(guó)總領(lǐng)事將一群中國(guó)孤兒召集在一起慶祝端午節(jié),而當(dāng)天正好是6月1日。
The holiday is celebrated on 1 June each year.It is usually marked with speeches on children's rights and wellbeing, children TV programs, parties, various actions involving or dedicated to children, families going out, etc.每年的6.1兒童節(jié),會(huì)以發(fā)表關(guān)于兒童權(quán)利、福利的演說(shuō),播放兒童電視節(jié)目、舉辦各種派對(duì)、活動(dòng),舉家出游等方式來(lái)進(jìn)行慶祝。
國(guó)際兒童日
Universal Children's Day takes place on November 20 annually.First proclaimed by the United Nations General Assembly in 1954, it was established to encourage all countries to institute a day, firstly to promote mutual exchange and understanding among children and secondly to initiate action to benefit and promote the welfare of the world's children.國(guó)際兒童日是每年的11月20日,1954年的聯(lián)合國(guó)大會(huì)上,這個(gè)節(jié)日的提出是為了推動(dòng)所有國(guó)家都設(shè)立一個(gè)專門的日子來(lái):首先,促進(jìn)各國(guó)兒童之間的交流和溝通;其次,通過(guò)采取行動(dòng)來(lái)提升各國(guó)兒童的福利。
