The evaluation criterion for good interpretation has been frequently discussed in the interpreting community and many scholars have proposed their own opinions. For example, Gile’s criteria include fidelity, quality of the voice as well as usage of terminologies, etc; Bao Gang proposed complete and accurate interpretation and fluent delivery; Buhler contended that the evaluation criteria consist of sense consistency. In fact, the criterion such as accurate interpretation, consistency and equivalence can be summarized as “faithfulness”, though different researchers focus on different aspects of faithfulness. Therefore, it can be said that in terms of criterion for evaluat ing interpretation, “faithfulness” is discussed by researchers most. The Interpretive Theory also has its own understanding towards “faithfulness”. Amparo Albie, an important scholar of the Paris School, put forward three evaluation criteria for faithfulness in Notion of Faithfulness in Translation (La Notion de

Fede’lite’en Traduction):

“In translating, we should be faithful to the author’intention (le vouloir dire) and be in accordance with the specific manners of expression of the target language and the target reader.” (quoted from Lederer, 2003:69-70)

In the following part, these three standards will be introduced one by one.

To evaluate whether the interpretation of a certain speech is faithful or not, first of all, we can try to find out whether it is faithful to the intention of the speaker. This criterion is related to the first stage of interpreting—comprehension.

Being faithful to the speaker’s intention means that the interpretation should be loyal to what the speaker really intends to express, not mere the mechanical equivalence to the exact words the speaker says. The speaker’s intention is a complicated concept, for on the one hand, the linguistic significations of the words or sentences of the speech sometimes cannot reveal wholly the intention, therefore the interpreter need to infer it on the basis of the given information; on the other, being faithful to the speaker’s intention involves other factors such as the

speaker’s style, this is because “sense”, what the speaker wants to convey and what he/she wants others to understand, is a synthesis of language, identity and expression style of the speaker, topic and communicative occasion.

For interpreters, word-for-word interpreting sometimes does not necessarily achieve faithfulness, only when they put the speech under the context and cognitive environment and understand the real intention of the speaker can they produce faithful interpretation.

This criterion is associated with the third stage of interpreting—re-expression.

It is known that different languages have different means of expression, styles and rules. So to be faithful to the target language, interpreters should produce their interpreted version in accordance with the rules of the target language so as to make their re-expression natural and idiomatic; otherwise, they cannot make themselves understood, thus leading to failure of communication between the speaker and listener. Take Chinese and English as an example. English stresses “logic” and such logic is showed in the sentence with conjunctions while

the logic in Chinese is seldom expressed explicitly with conjunctions; English sentences are longer and more complicated while Chinese sentences are concise and short; Chinese people prefer to use four-character phrases while the equivalence of such four-character-phrases can seldom be found in English; besides, Chinese people prefer to use active voice most of the time but English people prefer passive voice, etc. Therefore, while interpreting Chinese to English or vice versa, interpreters should express themselves according to the rules, expression manners and style of the target language. Seleskovitch pointed out that to evaluate interpretation, we should also and always take the response of the listener or the audience into consideration. She also stressed that it is necessary to target the language to the expectation of the audience. In other words, through the interpreted version, the listener is able to grasp the sense of the source discourse and react as the listener who speaks the source language does. Meanwhile, the interpretation should be acceptable to the listener, which means it should be natural and intelligible. Moreover, in the re-expression stage, a qualified

interpreter should be capable of identifying himself or herself from the response of the audience. This maybe difficult in simultaneous interpreting because interpreters sit in a booth which is often located behind the audience or far away from the audience. But in consecutive interpreting, as interpreters can face the audience, they can judge from the response of the audience directly to see whether or not the information of the source discourse is well received. If not, they should make adjustments or explanations to help them understand.

To sum up, to be faithful to sense, interpreters should be faithful to the intended sense of the speech originator, to the target language and to the speech receiver. These three criteria work together indispensably and should all be considered at the same time. If only being faithful to either one or either two of them, faithfulness to sense can never be fully achieved.

The speaker is the person who produces the content of the speech or remarks. As the Interpretive Theory holds that “the position a person holds, the politi cal point of view he supports and the profession he practices will determine how he will act at a meeting” (Seleskovitch,

1978:25), factors concerning the speaker can be divided into the followings.

Identity can influence the speaker’s utterance, for what he or she says must accord with the identity. On diplomatic occasions, the speaker is usually the spokesman of the government, minister, diplomat,

翻译原则

随着我国加入世界贸易组织,经济全球化的进一步发展,社会各界对于英语类人才需求剧增,在这个大环境大背景下,许多英语专业的大学毕业生选择了做翻译的这条路,人数一多了,自然良莠不齐,那么,如何成为一名优秀的译者呢? 首先,你必须具备扎实的基本功,雄厚的基本知识,古人云:工欲善其事必 先利其器。如果没有雄厚的基础知识,扎实的专业素养,其他方面你做的再好, 也无济于事。拥有扎实的专业知识是你从事这项工作的最基本的前提和基础。那 么,基础知识都有哪些方面呢?第一,词汇,作为一名译者,庞大的词汇量是远 远不够的,恐怖的词汇量刚刚好。厚积而薄发,最后达到庖丁解牛,游刃而有余。 第二,语法。语法是一个貌似不重要其实很重要的东西。可能这句话说得有点绕, 不过没有关系,也许这就是辩证法。有些长句子,可能你每个词都认识,可就是 译不出来,怎么办呢?这时候,就轮到我们的语法知识登场了,其实个人认为语 法还能锻炼人的逻辑思维能力,也许好多人看完之后都会恶补语法,我对此的建 议是不要急于求成,莫急莫急,欲速则不达。第三点,沟通能力,也叫语言表述 能力。这一点对于口译工作者尤为重要,设想一个缺乏语言表达意识的人去给人 人做翻译,岂不是滑天下之大稽乎?具体说一下,我这里说的语言表述能力不单 单指英文的语言表述能力,也指中文。我见过一些海归的同胞,英语说得很流畅, 汉语?不敢恭维….更有一个特点,就是他们喜欢讲汉语的时候带上一些英文的 单词。诸位,语言是文明的象征,是世界上最值得尊重的事物之一。你可以讲不 好这是能力问题,你亵渎它?这就是态度问题。对于英汉混搭的这种现象,我的 评价是这样的:用一种另类的方式想证明自己与他人的“不同”。其实没有必要, 完全没有必要,大家都是中国人,不是么? 其次,学会做人。我将这一点放在第二位并不代表我说他不重要,学会做人 是从事其他一切活动的前提和最基本的要求,试想一下,人都做不好,还做什么? 小时候老师就教育我,长大好读书,从小学做人。那么怎样才能做人呢?太史慈 曾经说过:大丈夫生于乱世,当带三尺剑立不世之功。但现在毕竟不是乱世,我 们也不是太史慈。在此我也不想讲那些道学先生口中的老的掉牙的仁义道德,作 为一个译者,要爱自己的祖国。不得不说译员们接触的外界事物多,所以啊很容 易产生“西方的什么东西都好”这种想法,什么东西都和国外比,这个如何如何, 那个如何如何。时间久了,就开始针砭时弊,议论起时政来。对此,我的态度是:

历年英语翻译初级口译考试真题及答案 上午卷: 英译中: (1) New Zealand is a South Pacific country located midway between the Equator and the South Pole, with a land of 268,105 square kilometers and a population of over three million. (第63页-黄) 新西兰是一个南太平洋国家,位于赤道和南极洲之间,国土面积为268105平方公里,人口为300多万。 简析:纵观口译考题,出题者十分聪明地将有关课文的每篇的首句作为考题来出,真是用心良苦。试想每篇文章的首句或每段文章的第一句话不是有提纲挈领的作用吗?理解了首句往往就能了解文章的大概。这和阅读理解的要求有着很大的相通性。所以加强平日对英语句子的敏感性十分有必要。 2) When the washing cycle is over, the machine fries the plates and glasses with its own heart, and indeed they can be left inside until they are needed for the next meal. (P.367) 洗涤过程完成后,洗碗机用自身的热量将盘子和杯子烘干。杯盘还可以留在机内待下一餐使用时再取出。 中译英: (1)为了过好学校里的公寓生活,学生应该学会自己洗衣服,整理房间,甚至于买菜做饭。(第355页) To manage apartment living in school successfully, the students must learn to do their own washing and cleaning, and even buy and cool their own food.

英语翻译十大原则(下)

Test Bible 考试手册 T e s t B i b l e 考试手考考试试册 Ne N e w Or r O ie e nt t n al a l E g ng li i sh h s 51◎ 文 / 张驰新 在前两期(分别参见2010年7~8月合刊与10月号)的内容中,笔者与大家探讨了英译 汉的三大原则以及汉译英的三大原则,本期笔者将为大家呈现英汉互译中的其他四个原 则,希望能给喜爱翻译的读者朋友带来一定的启示。 时态原则 时态绝对不仅仅表示时间概念,有时还可以体现出感情因素,因而译者需根据时态体会出原文的感情,并将之适当地体现在译文当中。下面笔者选取了几个具有代表性的英译汉和汉译英的例子,供大家细细品味。 1. She would spend hours dressing herself in ? ne clothes, and brushing her black hair. Then she would stand by the mirror and admire herself. 她总是要花好几个小时打扮:穿上漂亮的衣服,梳理乌黑的头发。之后,她还常常站在镜子前自我欣赏一番。 解析:这个例句利用过去将来时(would spend和would stand)来强调“she”所特有的行为,同时包含着作者的不耐烦情绪,因而翻译时,加上了副词“总是”和“常常”来表达这一情绪。 2. As a result we were going to be living in a fundamentally unmanaged economic system. 因此,我们可能要生活在一个根本无法掌控的经济体制中。 解析:该例句也使用了过去将来进行时(were going to be living),不过此处并不表示“总是”的意味,而是表示一种“发生几率很小的可能”,因而翻译时增译了“可能”。 3. 中华民族历来爱好自由与和平。 The Chinese people are always cherishing freedom and peace. 解析:这个例句如果翻译成一般现在时,即“The Chinese people always cherish freedom and peace.”便失去了对“中华民族爱好自由与和平”的赞美之意,而如果使用现在进行时,则能够体现出原句的“ 精气神”,突出“中华民族爱好自由与和平”这一传统的源远流长。 4. 中国人民更加珍惜自由与和平。 The Chinese people have cherished freedom and peace than ever . 解析:此句将“更加”译成“现在完成时+than ever”的句型,不仅加强了语气,而且表达了对自由与和平会“一直珍惜”的强烈情感。 5. a. 届时,请您着正装。 At that time, you will be wearing formal attire.

数字口译练习技巧

同声传译培训中数字口译练习技巧 随着国际间交流的突飞猛进,对于口译翻译人才的需求量越来越大,那么对于议员来说,数字口译的练习技巧有哪些呢,北京世纪英信翻译为大家介绍: 什么是数字口译 数字口译,不是淡出的数字,而是伴随着大量的实际信息,数字携带的瞬间信息量远超过同数量音节和音符携带的信息量,数字口译在英语的表达中,是“三位一进”,而汉语的数字表达是“四位一进”,因此在进行数字口译时,不仅需要语言间的转换,还要进行“进制”转换,这也加大了口译的难度。 数字口译练习技巧 1、快速读数法 为了提高数字的敏感度和转换的熟练度,在进行数字听辨和听译前,可以先进行读数法练习,即看着阿拉伯数字,把数字用中文和英文马上读出。每次找出一排数字(最少10到15个),逐渐增加阅读速度、数字位数和数量,直到可以一口气、娴熟、无错误一遍读出。开始阶段可以从全部3位数、4位数、5位数……开始,逐渐过渡到混合位数,比如15个数字中,混合参杂3位数、5位数、6位数、8位数……。最终实现,看到数字,可以如“大脑不过电”般、毫无迟疑、马上脱口而出的效果,甚至如以读绕口令的速度快速读出。 2、车牌法 在读数字达到一定数量程度后,选定一个路口,迅速的用英文读出路过的车辆的车牌号码(尽量可以读出每个车牌号码,越多越好)。练习分两步,第一步,把每一个数字按顺序读出,如果车牌号码是B6571,则读B six,five,seven ,one。第二步,把车牌号作为一个数字读出,如果车牌号码是C7845,则读B Seven thousand eight hundred and forty-five. 由于车辆行驶的速度较快,一闪而过,车牌数字是瞬间出现,所以可以很好的提高练习者的数字敏感度和快速反映能力。注意:由于汽车尾气污染原因,该方法单次练习时间不宜过长,每天半小时左右为宜。 3、滚屏读数法 各大财经频道的股市行情直播,往往是在屏幕下方滚动播出个股行情,看到个股的行情后,迅速用英文读出该数字及升降趋势,比如-2.8%,迅速的读minus/decrease/down/drop 2.8%, +3.6%,迅速的读plus/increase/up 3.6%. 4、约数法(四舍五入法)

称谓翻译小技巧

称谓翻译小技巧:口译中遇到令人发狂的称谓怎么办 作者: star_zhang 【口语听力技巧16】翻译小技巧:口译中遇到令人发狂的称谓怎么办 在外事接待活动中,译员首先面临的一道难题是称谓的口译。称谓代表了一个人的职位、职衔或学衔,体现了一个人的资历和地位。称谓的误译不仅是对有关人员的不尊重,而且也会产生种种不良的后果。称谓的准确翻译其关键在于译员对有关人员的身份及其称谓的表达是否有一个正确的理解,尤其是对称谓语的认识。一种称谓语很可能表示多种身份,例如,英语的头衔语president,译成汉语时可视具体情况分别译作共和国的总统、国家主席、大学的校长、学院的院长、学会或协会的会长或主席、公司的总裁或董事长等等。 一般说来,各类机构或组织的首长其汉语称谓译成英语时虽可套用通用词head,但从比较严格的意义上看,应使用特定的、规范的称谓语。例如: 校长(大学)President of Beijing University 校长(中小学)Principal /Headmaster of Donghai Middle School 院长(大学下属)Dean of the Graduate School 系主任(大学学院下属)Chair/Chairman of the English Department 会长/主席(学/协会)President of the Student Union, Shanghai University 厂长(企业)Director of the Machine Tools Manufacturing Plant 院长(医院)President of Huadong Hospital 主任(中心)Director of the Business Center 主任(行政)Director of Foreign Affairs Office 董事长(企业)President/Chairman of the Board of Directors 董事长(学校)President/Chairman of the Board of Trustees 首席长官的汉语称谓常以“总……”表示,而表示首席长官的英语称谓语则常带有chief gene ral, head , managing 这类词,因此当翻译冠以“总”字的头衔时,需遵循英语头衔的表达习惯: 总书记general secretary 总工程师chief engineer 总会计师chief accountant 总建筑师chief architect

翻译的原则 谈到翻译,同学们常提的问题是“翻译有哪些标准?”其实,最常见的翻译标准就是严复提出的“信”、”达”、“雅”三个标准。 自严复提出翻译中的三件难事“信”、“达”、“雅”起,“信”、“达”、“雅”就一直是占主导地位的翻译标准。什么是“信”、“达”和“雅”呢? 1 “信” “信”主要是指忠实于原作的内容。译者必须把原作的内容完整而准确地表达出来,不得有任何篡改、歪曲、遗漏或任意增、删的现象。本质上讲,“信”要求译者首先要完全读懂原文。这是最基本的要求。那么,怎样才能完全读懂原文呢?下面我们介绍看懂原文的三个原则。 (1) 读取实义信息 这条原则的意思是,学生要从原句中尽可能多地摘出表达实际内容的信息。具体地讲,就是读取名词、动词和形容词等实义词。拥有了这些信息,原句大意就基本明白了。 【例】Symposium talks will cover a wide range of subjects from overfishing to physical a nd environmental factors that affect the populations of different species. 【译文】座谈会的话题涉及面会很广泛,包括过度捕捞鱼类问题以及影响不同物种数量的自然知环境因素等问题。 【分析】cover是关键动词,即谓语,译作“涉及”;另外,注意准确翻译出“overfishing”和“species”等名词的意思。 (2)参考上下文 翻译的句子往往出现在一整段文章中。句子中很可能包含一些代词。我们很难判断这些代词究竟指代的是什么。因此,参考前文是十分必要的。在段落中要搞清划线的句子和其他句子之间的关系,特别要弄清代词it, they, them, this,that, these,those,other所指代的词或词组。这些词和词组有时在划线的部分就能找到,有时则要到前面有关的句子中去找,这样的例子在历年的试题中都是很多的。 (3)难句自主补遗 在翻译中,为了拔高,出题人经常设计一些难懂的句子。有些句子甚至违背英语的语法原则。因此,同学们在把握了句子的大意,基本翻译成中文后,应该抛开英文原句,按照中文的逻辑,添入一些欠缺的内容,以使句子完整。 2 “达” 在做到了“信”这一步之后,更高的要求是什么呢?这就是——“达”。 “达”主要是指语言通顺易懂、符合规范。译文必须是明白晓畅的现代语言,没有逐词死译、硬译的现象没有语言晦涩、拗口的现象;没有文理不通、结构混乱、逻辑不清的现象。译文不通顺,问题往往出在语言逻辑转换上。换句话说,英语句子结构和中文句子结构是不同的。举例来说,一个单词在句子中位置不同可以导致句子意思大相径庭。 3 “雅”
