小议科技英语翻译技巧
小议科技英语翻译技巧 科技文体崇尚严谨周密，概念准确，逻辑性强，行文简练，重点突出，句式严整，少有变化，常用前置性陈述，即在句中将主要信息尽量前置，通过主语传递主要信息。科技文章文体的特点是：清晰、准确、精练、严密。那末，科技文章的语言结构特色在翻译过程中如何处理，这是进行英汉科技翻译时需要探讨的问题。现分述如下： 一、大量使用名词化结构 大量使用名词化结构（Nominalization）是科技英语的特点之一。因为科技文体要求行文简洁、表达客观、内容确切、信息量大、强调存在的事实。而非某一行为。 Archimedes first discovered the principle of displacement of water by solid bodies. 阿基米德最先发展固体排水的原理。 句中of displacement of water by solid bodies 系名词化结构，一方面简化了同位语从句，另一方强调displacement 这一事实。 The rotation of the earth on its own axis causes the change from day to night. 地球绕轴自转，引起昼夜的变化。 名词化结构the rotation of the earth on its own axis 使复合句简化成简单句，而且使表达的概念更加确切严密。 If you use firebricks round the walls of the boiler, the heat loss, can be considerably reduced. 炉壁采用耐火砖可大大降低热耗。 科技英语所表述的是客观规律，因之要尽量避免使用第一、二人称；此外，要使主要的信息置于句首。 Television is the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio waves. 电视通过无线电波发射和接受活动物体的图象。 名词化结构the transmission and reception of images of moving objects by radio waves 强调客观事实，而"谓语动词则着重其发射和接受的能力。 二、广泛使用被动语句 根据英国利兹大学John Swales 的统计，科技英语中的谓语至少三分之一是被动态。这是因为科技文章侧重叙事推理，强调客观准确。第一、二人称使用过多，会造成主观臆断的印象。因此尽量使用第三人称叙述，采用被动语态，例如：Attention must be paid to the working temperature of the machine.应当注意机器的工作温度。而很少说：You must pay attention to the working temperature of the machine .你们必须注意机器的工作温度。此外，如前所述，科技文章将主要信息前置，放在主语部份。这也是广泛使用被动态的主要原因。试观察并比较下列两段短文的主语。 We can store electrical energy in two metal plates separated by an insulating medium. We call such a device a capacitor, or a condenser, and its ability to store electrical energy capacitance .It is measured in farads. 电能可储存在由一绝缘介质隔开的两块金属极板内。这样的装置称之为电容器，
功能对等理论视角下的科技英语翻译
功能对等理论视角下的科技英语翻译 摘要：科技英语翻译作为翻译领域内重要的组成部分之一，在国际交流中占重 要地位。科技英语本身所具有的准确、简洁、严谨和客观等特征使译者在翻译科 技文本时需要具有更高的要求。本文旨在从功能对等理论的视角下探讨科技英语 的翻译策略。本文在奈达的功能对等理论视角下进行分析研究，从语义和风格两 方面提出了科技英语的翻译策略，对科技英语翻译质量的提高有积极的指导作用。关键词：科技英语翻译；功能对等；翻译策略 一、科技英语的特点 随着科技的迅速发展，国与国之间在科技方而的交流日益频繁，科技英语 材料越来越多，科技翻译也就显得越来越重要。科技英语是一种信息型的文体， 其主要用途是传递信息。它具有叙述客观、严谨周密、概念准确、逻辑性强、行 文精炼、句式严整等特点，名词化结构因其客观、准确的特点而被频繁应用于科 技英语中。 与文学类语言相比，科技英语有其显著的语言特征，主要体现在词汇和句 法特征两方面。词汇上的差别是科技英语区别于文学语言最显著的特征之一，即 大量使用专业术语。科技领域内的工作人员都倾向于使用客观、直接、简洁的语 言和词汇来描述事物。总的来说，科技英语在词汇方面的特点主要体现在以下几 个方面：（一）将普通词汇专业化形成专业技术词汇。科技英语中的很多专业术 语都是通过赋予普通英语词汇新的含义而得来的，为了熟悉专业术，功能对等视 角下的科技英语翻译语，译者必须阅读大量的专业领域的科技文本，以使翻译成 品更专业准确。（二）借用其他学科词汇形成半专业技术词汇。半专业词汇是由 普通词汇转化演变而来，本身含有一般词义，但在不同学科和专业中有不同的意义。（三）广泛使用缩略词。为了表达简洁方便，科技英语中都会使用大量的缩 略语。为了体现其客观准确性，避免带有主观色彩的叙述，科技英语会较多地使 用被动语态，名词化结构以及各种复合句。名词化结构有利于达到交际目的，派 生名词的使用则可以有效简化叙事层次和结构，减少从句的使用频率，使科技英 语的行文更加直接、精炼，达到较少的篇幅表达更多的内容，从而使文篇更简洁、浓缩和凝练。 二、功能对等理论 “功能对等理论”的创始人是美国著名翻译学家尤金奈达，他在著作《翻译科学探索》中首次提出“动态对等”的概念。该理论一经提出，就在当时的翻译界产 生了很大反响。在后来出版的《翻译理论与实践》中，他对“动态对等”做了明确 定义：动态对等就是“译文读者对译文信息的反应与原文读者对原文信息的反应基本一致”。尤金奈达指出所谓动态对等翻译是“在译入语里产生和源语信息最切近 的自然对等语”，其中包括三个方面，即形式、内容、读者的反应。其中内容和形式是基础，读者的反应是核心。奈达认为内容比形式更重要。奈达的功能对等是 相对意义上的对等，是相对程度的接近，不可能做到绝对的对等，因为每个民族 的思维方式不完全相同。 功能对等理论是一种活应范围很广的翻译理论，之所以能出现科技英语名 词化结构的翻译，主要是以下原因。首先功能对等理论目标是通过在译入语里产 化与原文信切近的对等语，实现原文和译文在风格和意义上的对等，这点是对所

试谈科技英语说明书的特点及翻译策略
试谈科技英语说明书的特点及翻译策略 科技英语说明书兼具科技英语和说明书的特点，即客观[3]、专业性强、逻辑性强、术语多，说明少等特点。笔者针对此类文体，提出“准确、通顺、简练”的翻译标准，并分别探讨了每个标准。 标签：科技英语说明书翻译 一、科技英语说明书的特点 科技英语说明书是科技文章的一类，既有科技英语的一般共性，又有其独特的个性。与非科技英语相比，科技英语里的复杂长句比较多，一句话里包含三个以上子句的情况是常见的，包含五六个子句以上的情况也决非个别。这是由于科技文章要求叙述准确，推理严密致。其次，科技英语中被动句使用频繁。被动句中把受事作为句子的主语，突出强调动作的承受者，即动作执行的对象。受事在科技文中通常表现为客观事物，科技文章着重叙述客观事实，并希望强调所论述的事物，所以多采用以客观事物为主体的被动语态。此外，非限定词使用较多和词性转换较多也是科技文章的显著特征，在此不再赘述。科技英语说明书作为科技文章的一种个性，除兼具以上特征之外，还有自身的特点，如术语密集，列举物件多而说明少。因为读者多半是直接使用者，事先已经知道这些术语。因此，翻译时要注意这些术语的标准译法。另外，说明书的使用者为产品的购买者，文中出现“you”的地方，一律翻译为“您”表示尊敬，但对于原文中的警告、注意事项，译文也要采取相应的警示语气，提醒使用者注意[4]。 二、科技英语说明书的翻译策略 严复的“信、达、雅”可谓翻译的“三字真经”，结合科技英语说明书的特点，仿照严复的三字论及国内其他学者对应用文体提出的翻译标准，笔者提出三词论——“准确、通顺、简练”作为科技英语说明书的翻译标准。阎庆甲[5]在《科技英语翻译方法》一书中提出“明确、通顺、简练”的科技翻译标准，黄洁[1]《科技文翻译之实、准、简—译Harmony有感》一文中引用了李长栓[2]（2008）对应用文写作的三字基本要求“实、准、简”。实，实质内容要求实事求是。准，是表达形式、语言、引用事例、数字、图片都要准确无误;简，就是简洁明了，要直截了当，不说套话、废话、不绕弯子。此理论可谓面面俱到。笔者认为科技说明书，目的在与介绍国外先进仪器设备的使用方法，若翻译不正确，轻则对使用者产生困扰，重则产生危害。因此，译文在技术内容上要忠实于原文，不应有模糊不清，模棱两可的地方。准确，应为科技说明文翻译的最高标准。通顺，是说译文要符合目的语的语法特点，行文习惯。可通过长句拆分，词性转换和调整句序，使读者易懂。简练就是译文要尽可能简短，精炼。不啰嗦赘余，力求寻找翻译原文本最言简意赅的表述。简练为科技说明书最高翻译标准，是建立在准确、通顺的基础之上的。对于一般的科技说明书而言，做到准确、通顺即可。 （一）科技说明文之“准确”
