大学英语段落翻译技巧(1)

大学英语段落翻译技巧(1)

2013年7月，全国大学英语四六级考试委员会对大学英语四六级考试的试卷结构和测试题型做了局部调整，调整后的四六级翻译项目从原来的单句翻译变成了现在的段落翻译2013年12月，这一新的题型首次应用在四六级考试中。评分方式也由原来的语法点给分变成现在的总体评分（Global Scoring），也就是阅卷员根据翻译的总体印象，即文章的总体表达给出分数档。具体标准见下表：

表一四六级评分标准-考委会版（用于总体评分）

由于是第一次考查这样的题型，阅卷组也进行了细致的分析，深入的讨论和谨慎的评判。因此，在确定分数档之后，阅卷员需要通过对考生翻译中的语法、用词以及拼写错误进行量化，然后扣分，最终决定考生的翻译分数。而语法的量化考核也有一定的标准，具体见下表：

表二四六级翻译评分标准-阅卷版（用于量化语法错误）

这两步之后，一份翻译的整体分数就确定了。总的来说，改革后的大学英语四六级翻译项目采取总体评分为主，量化考核为辅的评分方式：阅卷员首先通读整篇译文，根据"总体评分"的原则，确定其所属档位；其次详细阅读译文，寻找译文中的扣分点，在统计扣分点之后，根据"量化考核"的原则，确定译文最终的分数。以下将以2013年12月四级考试翻译中的"中餐篇"为例，给出各个分数档的参考译文以及阅卷员评语。

翻译原文

许多人喜欢中餐。在中国，烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看。烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地的差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点，总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养（nutrition）。由于食物对健康至关重要，好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡，所以中餐既美味又健康。

in order to enhance the joyous atmosphere. The color most frequently used in paper cutting is red, which symbolizes health and prosperity. Chinese paper cutting is very popular around the world and it is often given as a present to foreign friends.

4.四级考试短文翻译技巧的新策略

翻译题把原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社

会发展等。翻译题的长度为140—160个汉字。据此，我们提出四级考试短文翻译技巧的新

策略如下：

4.1句子结构变形翻译技巧策略

汉语是话题优先型的语言，英语是主语优先型的语言。作为话题优先型的语言，汉语

中话题跟主语不一致并且话题比主语得到更高语法化。作为主语优先型的语言，英语主谓结

构是高度语法化的句法结构。在话题位置上插入成分的过程称为话题化(topicalization)。汉

语中的话题并非移位生成，研究主语优先型语言的语序类型，固然应该看S.V.O三者的排列，但研究话题优先型语言和主语话题并重型语言的语序类型，必须考虑另一个成分即话题T。

要确定话题优先语言及主语话题并重型语言的语序应该看T、S、V、O四者的排列顺序。

普通话的顺序是TSVO占优势。因此我们可以说，汉语作为话题优先型语言，有四个基本

成分：T、S、V、O，其中T（话题）是高度语法化的，而S（主语）语法化程度不高。总之，在话题优先型语言中话题结构毋须靠移位形成。而主语优先型语言的基本结构中缺乏T，只有靠移位方能得到T。如：中国文化指产生发展于中国地域内的一种富有鲜明的民族特色

的文化体系。我们这里讲的主要是精神文化和行为文化，以及这些精神文化和行为文化的某

些物化的文化形式。

The Chinese culture can be defined as a cultural system rich in distinct national style which took shape within the terrain of China. The culture includes the spiritual culture and behavioral culture as well as their materialized presentations.

4.2 避免“同义反复”翻译技巧策略

从构词与搭配特点看，汉语词汇的“双音词化”，表达中的“四字格”形式，决定了汉语词语搭配中“同义反复”现象的频繁出现。研究表明，无论在构词搭配，成语搭配或者惯用搭配中，汉语的“同义反复”现象都要比英语的更加明显，更加普遍。英语词语搭配通常避免“同义反复”；而汉语词语搭配却往往使用“同义反复”。

由于汉语骈偶结构形式的需要，汉语骈偶结构中“同义反复”现象非常普遍。因此在汉译英时，英语译文往往需要避免“同义反复”。不了解这个原则，译文都会出现表达繁复、语义重复的现象。如：

中国文化是一个历史的范畴，它经历了5000年的发展才形成了今天的面貌，底蕴厚重，博大精深。

The Chinese culture belongs to the historical category, having undergone 5000-year development before it turns into today’s splendid sight, both extensive and profound.

4.3名词代词化翻译技巧策略

汉语喜用名词，英语喜用代词。根据这一特点，汉译英时，每每遇到名词重复出现时，要设法避免重复这一名词。如：

我们这里讲的主要是精神文化和行为文化，以及这些精神文化和行为文化的某些物化的文化形式。

The culture includes the spiritual culture and behavioral culture as well as their

materialized presentations.

这里的“这些精神文化和行为文化的”不能重复译为“of the spiritual culture and behavioral culture”。一个代词“their”代替“of the spiritual culture and behavioral culture”。多精彩。

4.4拆句和合并翻译技巧策略

这是两种相对应的翻译方法。拆句法是把一个长而复杂的句子拆译成若干个较短、较简单的句子，通常用于英译汉；合并法是把若干个短句合并成一个长句，一般用于汉译英。汉语强调意合，结构较松散，因此简单句较多；英语强调形合，结构较严密，因此长句较多。所以汉译英时要根据需要注意利用连词、分词、介词、不定式、定语从句、独立结构等把汉语短句连成长句；而英译汉时又常常要在原句的关系代词、关系副词、主谓连接处、并列或转折连接处、后续成分与主体的连接处，以及意群结束处将长句切断，译成汉语分句。这样就可以基本保留英语语序，顺译全句，顺应现代汉语长短句相替、单复句相间的句法修辞原则。如：

同时它又是一个民族的范畴，在长期的相对独立的发展以及中外文化的冲撞交流中，以我为主，中国文化形成了自己的特色，卓然立于世界民族文化之林，成为东方民族文化的主要代表。

Meanwhile it can be relegated to the national category. After a long process of relatively independent development followed by the collision and exchange afterwards between China and foreign countries, the Chinese culture assumed unique characteristics, became an outstanding member in the brilliant global family of national cultures, and grew to be a main representative of Oriental national cultures.

6 结语

以上我们在汉英句法结构对比的基础上，结合汉英翻译理论和方法，对做好大学英语四级考试汉译英试题提出了一些解决策略。研究表明:汉译英重在表达, 汉译英表达上的问题不仅会影响译文“语言通顺、流畅”，而且还会直接影响译文的“忠实性”。而汉译英表达的关键在于汉英句法结构对比与翻译的理论和技巧的运用。总之，我们认为要做好大学英语四级考试汉译英，需要加强学生汉英句法结构对比的意识，以提高学生汉英句法结构在形式和内容方面的转换能力，提高学生的语言表达能力，为实现译文的“忠实性”提供必要的条件。

While some others hold the opposite view, they believe that China should keep pace with the times. No matter how, it is a good thing that information technology has drawn attention of the people.

试卷三：茶文化

"你要茶还是咖啡？"是用餐人常被问到的问题，许多西方人会选咖啡，而中国人则会选茶。相传，中国的一位帝王于五千年前发现了茶，并用来治病，在明清期间，茶馆遍布全国，饮茶在六世纪传到日本，但直到18世纪才传到欧美。如今，茶是世界上最流行的饮料之一，茶是中国的瑰宝。也是中国传统和文化的重要组成部分。

As for the dinning people, “Tea or Coffee?” is a question frequently asked. Coffee is usually the Westerns’ first choice, while tea is the preferment of Chinese. Tradition has it that tea is found by one Chinese Emperor, who lived 5000 years ago. At that time, tea is used to heal sickness.

During Ming-Qing dynasties, teahouses are across the country. Tea-drinking spread into Japanese as early as in the 6th century, yet it did not spread into Europe and America until the 18th century. Nowadays, tea is one of the most popular beverages all over the world. Tea is the treasure of China and the important component of Chinese tradition and culture.

The Chinese knot was originally invented by the craftsmen. After hundreds of years of continuous improvement, has become a kind of elegant and colorful art and craft. In ancient times, people use it to record the event, but now used mainly for decorative purposes. The knot means love, marriage and reunion in Chinese.

The world-renowned Silk Road is a series of routes connecting the East and the West. It extended more than 6,000 kilometers. The Silk Road was named after ancient China’s silk trade which played an important role in the civilization development of China, South Asia, Europe and the Middle East. It was through the Silk Road that papermaking, gunpowder, compass and printing of the four great inventions of ancient China were introduced around the world. Similarly, Chinese silk, tea and porcelain spread all over the world. Europe also exported various goods and plants through the Silk Road to meet the needs of the Chinese market.

Chinese gardens came into being after three thousand years of evolution and feature unique landscape. It contains both large garden intended for the royal family enjoyment and private gardens built for academics, businessmen and former government officials to get rid of the noise of the outside world. These gardens constituted a type of mini-landscape with the intention to express the harmonious relationship between human and nature.

(3)动词?形容词?汉语的一些动词常常用形容词来表达，这些形容词通常是与动词同源的词（如dreamful,doubtful,sympathetic 等），这样的译文有时会更地道、标准。?原文：在明朝和清朝时期特别流行。?译文：It was widespread particularly during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.

大学英语段落翻译技巧(1)

大学英语段落翻译技巧(1) 2013年7月，全国大学英语四六级考试委员会对大学英语四六级考试的试卷结构和测试题型做了局部调整，调整后的四六级翻译项目从原来的单句翻译变成了现在的段落翻译2013年12月，这一新的题型首次应用在四六级考试中。评分方式也由原来的语法点给分变成现在的总体评分（Global Scoring），也就是阅卷员根据翻译的总体印象，即文章的总体表达给出分数档。具体标准见下表： 表一四六级评分标准-考委会版（用于总体评分） 由于是第一次考查这样的题型，阅卷组也进行了细致的分析，深入的讨论和谨慎的评判。因此，在确定分数档之后，阅卷员需要通过对考生翻译中的语法、用词以及拼写错误进行量化，然后扣分，最终决定考生的翻译分数。而语法的量化考核也有一定的标准，具体见下表：

表二四六级翻译评分标准-阅卷版（用于量化语法错误） 这两步之后，一份翻译的整体分数就确定了。总的来说，改革后的大学英语四六级翻译项目采取总体评分为主，量化考核为辅的评分方式：阅卷员首先通读整篇译文，根据"总体评分"的原则，确定其所属档位；其次详细阅读译文，寻找译文中的扣分点，在统计扣分点之后，根据"量化考核"的原则，确定译文最终的分数。以下将以2013年12月四级考试翻译中的"中餐篇"为例，给出各个分数档的参考译文以及阅卷员评语。 翻译原文 许多人喜欢中餐。在中国，烹饪不仅被视为一种技能，而且也被视为一种艺术。精心准备的中餐既可口又好看。烹饪技艺和配料在中国各地的差别很大。但好的烹饪都有一个共同点，总是要考虑到颜色、味道、口感和营养（nutrition）。由于食物对健康至关重要，好的厨师总是努力在谷物、肉类和蔬菜之间取得平衡，所以中餐既美味又健康。 14分参考译文 Many people enjoy Chinese food.

大学英语四级改革新题型段落翻译题 Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)(原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等。四级长度为140-160个汉字。) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2. 中国的传统节庆膳食是节日必不可少的伴侣。例如，我国的端午节(the Dragon Boat Festival)是纪念古代诗人屈原的日子。那一天，人们通常要赛龙舟、吃粽子(zongzi)。中秋节是观赏满月的日子。圆圆的月亮象征着圆满，象征着家庭团聚。因此，中秋节(The Mid-autumn Festival)的特制食品是一种圆形的月饼。春节是中国的农历新年(the Chinese lunar New Year?s holiday)，除了常见的家禽和肉类之外，人们还要按各自的地方习俗烹制传统食物，如铰子和年糕。 参考答案 Traditional Chinese holiday meals are indispensable on some festivals. For example, the Dragon Boat Festival is a day established in memory of the ancient poet Qu Yuan and people usually hold dragon boat races and eat zongzi, or rice dumpling on that day. The Mid-autumn Festival is an occasion for viewing the full moon. The round moon is a symbol for completeness and family reunion. The special food of the day is yuebing, a round cake known as the mooncake. The Spring Festival is the Chinese lunar New Year?s holiday. Besides the popular poultry and meat, people cook traditional food according to regional customs, for example, jiaozi, or boiled dumplings, and niangao, or the new year cake. 难点精析 ■ 1.中国的传统节庆膳食：翻译为Traditional Chinese holiday meals,其中“节庆膳食”直接译为holiday meals , 即可，翻译时注意“中国的”和“传统”的顺序。 2.纪念：翻译为介词短语in memory of,修饰前面的a day。 ■ 3.赛龙舟：翻译为hold dragon boat races,其中hold意为“举行”，“举行龙舟比赛”即“赛龙舟”。 4.观赏满月：“满月”即fMlmoon,此处的“观赏”可以译为viewing,也可以用enjoying或watching表示。 5.象征着家庭团聚：“象征”翻译为系表结构is a symbol for,也可以用动词symbolize表示，“家庭团聚”翻译：为family reunion 即可。 Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)(原单句汉译英调整为段落汉译英。翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等。四级长度为140-160个汉字。)

The main crop there is wheat. In China, some people use flour to bake bread,while most people make steamed bread and noodles with flour. xx 中国是世界上最古老的文明之一。构成现代世界基础的许多元素起源于中国。中国现在拥有世界上发展最快的经济，并正经历着一次新的工业革命。中国还启动了雄心勃勃的太空探索计划，其中包括到20年建成的一个太空站。目前，中国是世界最大的出口国之一，并正在吸引大量外国投资。同时，它也在海外投资数十亿美元。2011年，中国超越日本成为世界第二大经济体。 快递 据报道，今年中国快递服务（courier service）将递送大约120亿件包裹。这将使中国有可能超越美国成为世界上最大的快递市场。大多数包裹里装着网上订购的物品。中国给数百万在线零售商以极具竞争力的价格销售商品的机会。仅在11月11日，中国消费者就从国内最大的购物平台购买了价值90亿美元的商品。中国有不少这样的特殊购物日。因此，快递业在中国扩展就不足为奇了。

I would never believe it if I had not seen her with my own eyes, curled up in a wheelchair, typing her comments by hitting the key with a pointer fastened to her head. I had driven a long way in hopes of uncovering an elaborate hoax, but watching her strain in the gloom of her shanty to add to her story, I knew I had found a true winner. Her enthusiasm for the game and her trust in the athletes brought me back to a positive attitude.

2016考研英语：段落翻译练习及解析 2016考研英语的长难句的相关知识学到现在，不知道各位考生掌握的如何，在实际操作的时候，大家可以依然是先分句翻译，然后根据上下文与段落整体逻辑进行整合串联。下面就给举几个真题的段落供大家练习并进行解析。 【真题例举】 Most people would define optimism as endlessly happy, with a glass that's perpetually half fall. But that's exactly the kind of falsecheerfulness that positive psychologists wouldn't recommend. "Healthy optimists means being in touch with reality." says Tal Ben-Shahar, a Harvard professor, According to Ben-Shahar, realistic optimists are these who make the best of things that happen, but not those who believe everything happens for the best. Ben-Shahar uses three optimistic exercisers. When he feels down-sag, after giving a bad lecture-he grants himself permission to be human. He reminds himself that mot every lecture can be a Nobel winner; some will be less effective than others. Next is reconstruction, He analyzes the weak lecture, leaning lessons, for the future about what works and what doesn't. Finally, there is perspective, which involves acknowledging that in the ground scheme of life, one lecture really doesn't matter. 【参考译文】 大多数人愿意把乐观定义为无尽的欢乐，就像一只总是装着半杯水的杯子。但那是一种绝不会为积极心理学家所称道的虚假的快乐。哈佛大学的Tal Ben-Shahar教授说，“健康的乐观主义意味着要处于现实之中。”在Ben-Shahar看来，现实的乐观主义者会因势利导，而非求全责备。 Ben-Shahar会使用三种乐观的方法。比如说，当他进行了一次糟糕的演讲感到心情郁闷的时候，他会告诉自己这是很正常的事。他会提醒自己：并不是每一次演讲都可以获得诺贝尔奖，总会有一些人的演讲效果不及其他人。其次是进行重构。他分析效果不好的演讲并且从那些起作用和不起作用的演讲中吸取教训为将来做准备。最后，现在存在这样一个观点，即在生活的宏伟计划中，一次演讲是无关紧要的。 【解析】 这两段共10句话。其中，定语从句有5个，并列句有3个，宾语从句有5个，状语从句有1个。 定语从句： 1）the kind of false cheerfulness（先行词）that（引导词）positive psychologists wouldn’t recommend 2）those（先行词）who（引导词）make the best of things that happen
