美国翻译理论家奈达曾经说过,“翻译就是翻译意思”,那么在两种语言之间进行的翻译并不是一个词对一个词的相互转换。在将英语翻译成汉语时,译文一定要通顺、地道、流畅、符合汉语的表达习惯。要使译文地道、流畅,就必须充分了解源语和译语在表达习惯上的区别。与英语相比较,汉语中代词(尤其是人称代词)和连接词(尤其是并列连接词“和”)使用得很少,能省略的代词和连接词一般都不在句子里出现。因此,在英译汉时,应该避免在句子里过多地使用代词和连接词,否则译文就会显得不自然、不流畅。这时就要用减词翻译法。减词翻译法是指在翻译的过程中省略原文中自然的、必不可少的、但在译文中却是多余词汇的翻译方法。例如:

The retailers perform many functions. First, he may provide a convenient location. Also, he often guarantees and services the merchandise he sells. Third, the retailer aids in promoting the product, often through displays and advertising. Fourth, the retailer may finance the customer by extending credit. Further, the retailer performs storage function in his outlet, by having goods available.

译文:零售商还发挥许多功能。其一,()可提供便利的场地;其二,()对他所经销的商品提供担保和服务;其三,()帮助促销产品,经常进行商品展示活动和发布广告;其四,()为顾客提供信贷。另外,由于供货及时,零售商还可发挥其商店的仓储功能。

析:英语语篇的衔接手段常用的有:大量使用代词,指代前文中所提到的名词,偶尔重复使用名词本身,使用省略,使用上义词或同义词。汉语中最常用的衔接手段则是多使用名词重复和省略,偶尔也使用代词和上义词或同义词。在汉语的语篇中,当所谈论的主语是同一个的时候,被谈论的主语往往只出现一次,后面句子的主语可以省略。这种省略不仅不会引起误解,而且会使行文简洁流畅。上面这一段汉语译文可以充分说明这一点。再比如下面这一段汉语是地道的汉语:柯灵,生于1909年,浙江省绍兴人。中国现代作家。1926年发表第一篇作品叙事诗《织布的妇人》。1930年任《儿童时代》编辑。1949年以前一直在上海从事报纸编辑工作,并积极投入电影、话剧运动。解放后,曾任《文汇报》副总编辑。现任上海电影局顾问。

除了英语中的代词和连接词在汉语译文中可以省略外,还有冠词、动词不定式符号、部分介词等均可以省略。当然,在汉语译文中被省略的成分不仅仅限于这些词类。任何词类都有可能被省略,但省略一定要依据具体的上下文并遵循译语的表达习惯。如:

Winter is the best time to study the growth of trees. Although the leaves are gone and the branches are bare, the trees themselves are beautiful!

译文:冬天是研究树木生长的最好季节,虽则树叶落了,树枝光了,但树木本身却是美丽的。

析:原文中所有的定冠词the在译文中都没有被翻译出来,因为它们在这里都是泛指。当英语中的“冠词the+名词”或者“冠词a/an+名词”表示泛指时,该冠词往往不翻译成汉语;但如果冠词是表示特指,就必须将该冠词翻译成汉语。

When mineral oil is refined into petrol, it is used to drive internal combustion engine. To it we owe the existence of the motor-car, which has replaced the private carriage drawn by the horse.

译文:当矿物油被提炼戍汽油之后,就可以用来驱动内燃机。就是有了这种油,我们才能用上汽车,以代替私人马车。

析:原文中短语carriage drawn by the horse的意思是“由马拉的马车”,译成汉语时如果直译就会使译文显得很罗嗦,这样就需要采用减词翻译法而将其翻译成“马车”就可以了。这样的译文简练、地道、流畅。

Such is the so-called "business cycle" that has characterized the industrialized nations of the world for the last two centuries ever since an elaborate, interdependent money economy began to replace the relatively self-sufficient precommercial society.

译文:这正是近两个世纪(即自从一种复杂的、相互依赖的货币经济开始取代相对自给自足的前商业化社会)以来全世界工业化国家所谓的“经济周期”。

析:英语单词characterize一词的意思是“表现…的特色”,“刻画的…性格”,

它的意思在汉语译文中虽然被省略末译,但既然全世界工业化国家具备所谓的“经济周期”,那么,其基本意思“表现…的特色”就已经隐含在其中。

To avert the danger of major defaults and to restore security to the economic systems, Western bankers and governments will have to ensure that they are imposing reasonable repayment terms on developing countries, terms that will not provoke revolution or chaos.

译文:为了防止发生重大的宣布无力偿还债务事件,并使经济体制恢复巩固,西方各国金融机构和政府必须确保对各发展中国家强制实行公平合理的还债条件,确保这些条件不至于引发革命或混乱。

析:原文中avert的意思是“转移”,和名词danger搭配后构成短语avert the danger,意思是“转移危险”,如果直译势必使得译文不通顺。汉语译文在这里没有直译,而是将danger省略不译,而将avert一词翻译成“防止”,这样做既理顺了“防止”同后面的宾语“发生重大的宣布无力偿还债务事件”之间的搭配,“防止”这个短语本身又隐含了danger(危险)的意义,真是一举两得。

本章练习

1.将下面的短文翻译成汉语,注意增词法的运用。

Tariffs may be used simply to obtain revenue. In some developing countries, revenue tariffs provide an important part of the government's income. Often, however, tariffs are protective, and are designed to carry out a particular economic policy. They may help to reduce a balance of payments deficit or to protect an infant industry against strong international competition from older corporations. A revenue tariff will always provide some protection, and a protective tariff will produce some revenue. Therefore, it is difficult to distinguish between revenue and protective tariffs from economic evidence alone.

When a tariff is imposed on an import, the direct impact on price is to raise it by the amount of the tariff. Market factors, however, can modify this effect. Hence, the final price increase due to a tariff may be less than, equal to, or more than the amount of the tariff. In many cases, though, the final price increase is reasonably close to the amount of the tariff. In ocntrast, the impact of a quota on price is much harder to predict. The effects are particularly uncertain with goods which are not produced at all domestically. For instance, many countries do not have their own car industry, so that an import quota can cause a considerable shift in automobile prices.

2.翻译下列短文,注意英语名词复数的翻译。

Letters of Credit for the importation of goods from foreign countries into Canada are frequently required by the supplier to be established in his favor; sometimes these are for surprisingly small amounts, obviously where the importer is little known to the exporter, otherwise ordinary "bill for collection" or "open account procedure" would be followed. Many Canadian importers are therefore familiar with these instruments. The Canadian importer, when faced with such a request, applies to his bank for the facility. As the bank's undertaking will be replacing that of the importer, the bank will treat this as an application for credit and will give consideration to setting up a "line of credit" in the same way as if it were an application for a loan. If the "line" is granted or has already been arranged, the importer competes an "Application for Commercial Credit" in which he gives full details of the Credit requires. Normally, the Credit will be "irrevocable", that is, once it has been received by or advised tothe beneficiary it cannot be retracted or changed without the beneficiary's consent, and the opening bank must meet any drafts presented provided the terms of the Letter of Credit have been complied with.

(Foreign Exchange and Foreign Trade in Canada,

Sidney A. Shepherd, 4th ed., pp.95-96) 3.翻译下面的短文,注意增词法、减词法的运用。

It is Shell companies' policy to promote a management style of direct involvement of employees in decisions affecting their jobs. Staff are encouraged to discuss the objectives of the unit in which they work before these are finally established. Through the staff reporting system, staff are also encouraged to take part in setting their work targets for the coming year, to identify their own training needs and to develop their own ambitions so that these may be taken into account in career planning. This approach which Group companies believe to be beneficial to the business and to give recognition to the legitimate expectations of employees is the core of its employee relations philosophy.

第五章英汉翻译中的重复翻译法

词或词组的重复,是英语和汉语中的有效表达手段。利用这种手段一般可达到三种目的:一、表达强调语势;二、表达生动活泼;三、表达明确。

一般讲来,如果不是为了上述目的,回避重复是英语的一大特色,这不仅在书面语言中十分突出,在口语中也相当明显。回避的范围也很广,小自单词,大至句子,凡是意义相同的或只是部分相同的词语,均在回避之列。在汉语中,说话写文章也回避重复,过多的重复会使语言罗嗦。但是,汉语由于其固有特点和表达习惯的缘故,在很多地方非重复不可,或者重复了反倒好些。也就是说,如果使用得当,汉语里使用重复并不会给人单调乏味之感。相反,重复反而可以起到反复强调的作用。因此,与英语相反,重复是汉语的一个明显特点。

5.1 英语回避得利的主要方法

英语往往采用以下一些手段来回避重复。

5.1.1. 指代法

即使用代词(主要是人称代词、物主代词、指示代词以及用于非限制性定语从句的关系代词等)来回避重复。这是英语中最普通、最常见,也是最有效的回避重复的方法之一。例如:

I met John on the street yesterday. He was walking beside his sister. They were going to see a film.

Mary is standing at the door, with her hand in her pocket.

5.1.2. 换词法

即使用范畴词、同义词或准同义词来回避重复。范畴词是一些具有概括意义、表示人和事物范畴的词汇。如:man,woman,people,person,child,thing,object,flower,machine,medicine,matter,idea,feeling,animal等。

The monkey's most extraordinary feat was learning to operate a tractor. By the age of nine, this remarkable animal had learned to drive the vehicle single-handed.

换词是书面英语,尤其是现代新闻英语主要特色之一。换词得当,可以避免单调乏味,使文字新颖别致,焕然生色。如电视机,可说:the television set,the

TV,telly,the tube,the goggle-box,the idiot box等。

5.1.3. 替代法

即使用替代词语或替代句型来回避重复。

(1)常用的替代词语有:one, ones, that, those, it, the same (thing), so, such, there, then, likewise, identical, different, like that, in like manner, (in) this way 等。

What kind of textbooks do you want? The ones with illustrations or the ones without.

A: I'll have a new pair of rubber shoes, please.

B: I'll have the same but with black laces.

He was ambitious, but his sister was even more so. She wanted to become a great film-star.

A: He'll arrive before six.

B: That seems too early.

(2)常见的替代句型

a. 主语+do

A: Do you like English?

B: Yes, I do.

b. So (否定句用Neither / Nor) + be (或have, do) +主语

She is a student. So is her brother.

c. 主语+ hope, believe, say, suppose + so / not

think, wish, claim, tell

A: He will come tomorrow.

B:I hope so.

A: Has everyone gone home?

B: I'm afraid so. (Or l hope not.)

d. 其它

He might be wrong. If not, why was he in such low spirits?

We have to hand in a book report every month, and that (= and have to hand in the report) always promptly and in English.

In modern English a verb is often used as a noun, and vice versa. (= and a noun is often used as a verb)

5.1.4. 省略法

省略法就是删去句中相同的词语来回避重复。

(1)回避重复名词

I like strong tea, I suppose weak ( ) is better for you.

(2)回避重复名词

They are not known to retreat. They never have ( ) and never will ( ).

A: Sorry, I haven't finished the book yet.

B: I hope you will ( ) by tomorrow.

(3)回避重复不定式

A: Would you like to go with me.

B: Yes, I'd like to ( ).

(4)回避重复句子

This orange is ripe. I know ( ) from its color.

A: I said you would rewrite it for him.

B: I hope you didn't say when ( ).

5.1.5. 保留介词法

保留介词法即保留同一个介词以回避名词、动词或形容词的重复,这一般在政论文和演说词中较多见。

We talked of ourselves, of our prospects, of the journey, of the weather, of each other--of everything but our host and hostess. (回避动词"talk")

Discipline is indispensable to victory in war, to success in our work, and indeed, to the realization of our lofty goal. (回避形容词"indispensable")

They continue to observe the principle of depending on their own efforts as well as of being thrifty in everything. (回避重复名词"principle")

5.1.

6. 紧缩法

紧缩法就是将语句中两个或几个相关联的成分合并在一起,以避免一些词语的重复,使文字变得简洁紧凑。这种方法一般多见于书面形式。

He was particularly interested in the articles on and by Lu Xun.

Y ou should practise speaking English both in and out of class.

She was accepted not because of but in spite of her birth.

5.2 汉语重复表达的特点

下面我们再看看汉语是否也有类似的特点呢?答案是相反的。重复是汉语的一个明显特点。汉语的重复不仅有语音上的需要,还有语法与修辞上的需要。

(1)汉语第三人称“他”、“她”、“它”的发音同为/ta:/。汉语很少用指物的

“它”,而是习惯重复原词,或借助指示代词。

(2)汉语有一种连锁句,其中很多需要重复词语的。

有什么吃什么,有米饭吃米饭,有馒头吃馒头。

(3)汉语的选择疑问句常常需要重复动词。

努力提高呢?还是努力普及呢?

(4)汉语缺乏与英语相像的关系代词、关系副词和动词非人称形式一类的组合手段,所以汉语的句子不宜太长。汉语里一个复杂思想,往往分成几个短句来表示。各短句之间的联系,有时靠“意合”,有时靠重复。这样才能承上启下,衔接自然。例如:

他这样教发音简直是误人子弟,误人还误得不浅。

(5)由于修辞上的需要。英语中的重复多数是为了修辞,起强调作用。汉语的重复,即使是为修辞,也不单一地为了强调。有时是为了排比整齐,有时为了推理层递,有时为了对偶工整,有时为了条理清楚。

我们今天开这个大会,就是为了继续团结,继续进步。(排比)

这种作风,拿了律己,则害了自己;拿了教人,则害了别人。(推理层递)在战略上,我们要藐视困难;在战术上,我们要重视困难。(对偶工整)

我们军政关系、军民关系,官兵关系,都更亲密了。(条理清楚)

5.3 英汉翻译中的重复翻译法

知道英语同汉语之间的区别就能在英汉翻译过程中很好地进行操作。在具体操作过程中,我们应该在译文中注意译语的表达习惯。在英汉翻译过程中应多使用词语、短语甚至是句子的重复来翻译原文中所表达的信息。下面我们通过实例来进行说明:

A more realistic approach toward international specialization is that of comparative advantage. This concept says that a nation has a comparative advantage in an item if it can produce it more efficiently than alternative products.

译文:参与国际分工的另一更为现实的做法是采取比较优势的做法。比较优势是指假如一个国家生产某种产品比生产其他产品的效率高,那么它就具有生产该产品的比较优势。

析:英语语篇的衔接手段常用的有:大量使用代词指代前文中所提到的名词,偶尔重复使用名词本身,使用省略,使用上义词或同义词。汉语中最常用的衔接

手段是使用名词重复和省略,偶尔也使用代词和上义词或同义词。知道了英汉两种语言的区别就可以在英译汉时注意汉语的特点,充分地再现原文信息。本例句中原文中的that指代前文中的approach,在翻译成汉语时被翻译成了“做法”。原文中的This concept指代上文中提到的comparative advantage,This concept是Comparative advantage的上义词。汉语译文将其还原成“比较优势”,由此可见汉语里是多使用重复名词的方式来衔接上下文的。

Over the last decade, the use of countertrade in international commerce has become more widespread. The practice is emerging as a vehicle for financing capital projects and production-sharing ventures, for ensuring the repatriation of profits from investments in countriesbeset by external debt and hard currency shortages, and for competitive bidding on major nonmilitary government procurements.

译文:在过去的十年间,对等贸易在国际商业中的应用已越来越广泛。这种贸易方式正逐渐成为资本项目和生产股份企业融资的一种渠道,正在逐渐成为确保投资者在那些为外债所困扰并且缺乏硬通货的国家的投资中收回利润的一种渠道,正在逐渐成为政府在大量采购非军用物资的投标中保持竞争力的一种渠道。

析:原文中的The practice所指代的是上文中的the use of countertrade,因此在译文中可以直译为“这种贸易方式”来指上文中所提到的内容。

Marketing is a pervasive social activity that goes considerably beyond the selling of toothpaste, soap, and steel.

译文:营销是一种无处不在的社会活动,它远远超过牙膏肥皂或者钢铁的销售活动。

析:英语中使用代词指代前文中所提到的名词的情况比比皆是。这里的关系代词that所指代的就是前文中出现的social activity,在将这类关系代词或者代词翻译成汉语时,办法之一就是使用汉语里的代词与之对应,即用代词重复指代前面所提到的内容,但这样做的条件是:前面所谈到的概念必须是单一的概念,如果是多个概念而使用代词来指代就有可能引起误解。这里在前面所谈到的内容是“营销”,后面所说的“社会活动”也是指营销,故译文使用“它”不会出现指代不明的情况。

Needs are the basic, often instinctive, human forces that motivate a person to do something.

译文:各种需要是人类基本的、通常又是出于本能的驱动力,这各种驱动力促使一个人去从事某件事情。

析:在这一例句的原文中,关系代词that所指代的是其前面的forces,forces 的意思是“推动力”、“驱动力”。在将原文翻译成汉语时,对于that的翻译可以有两种方式,其一是使用代词“它们”指代forces,其二是将forces重复提及。使用代词“它们”有可能被误解为指代前面提及的“需求”。为了避免歧义不能选取这种方式翻译。剩下的就只有第二种翻译办法了。汉语中通过名词重复的方式进行上下文的衔接是最为常见的写作手法,那么,在翻译中使用这种衔接方式也是非常符合汉语习惯表达的。译文的黑体部分是对前面出现过的名词的重复,但读来并末让人觉得累赘,由此可见在汉语中使用名词的重复进行上下文的衔接是比较地道的表达。

The purpose of public relations is to influence public opinion toward building goodwill and positive reputation for the organization, and well-executed public relations is a long-term activity that molds good relationships between an organization and its publics.

译文:公共关系的目的是为了对公众舆论产生影响,为某一单位树立良好的形象和声誉;建立良好的、有效的公共关系是一种长期行为,这种行为有助于在一个单位和它的公众群体之间形成良好的关系。

析:关系代词that在定语从句中同时充当主语,其先行词是前面的a long-term activity。这里有两种翻译方法,一是将其翻译成“它”,二是将其翻译成“这种行为”。但若将其翻译成“它”则指代不明,有可能被误解为指代前面所提到的“目的”、“公共关系”、“影响”、“声誉”等概念,因此,译为“这种行为”,使意思更明确。

Most notably, China has avoided the large output declines and, severe macroeconomic instability that have tended to characterize the transition experiences in central and eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.

译文:最值得注意的是,中国避免了生产的大滑坡和宏观经济的严重不稳定性,生产的大滑坡和宏观经济的严重不稳定性曾经是中、东欧以及前苏联经济过渡时期的特点。

析:译文将原文中的关系代词that所指代的内容全部重复一遍,使得译文的意思清楚明了。当然,这里的that也可以翻译成“这种情况”,这样翻译大概也能让读者知道所指。

As each currency's value is stated in terms of other currencies, French francs, then, have a value in US dollars, which have a value in British pounds, which have a value in Japanese yen.

译文:由于每一种货币的价值是用另外的货币表现出来的,那么法国法郎的价值可以用美元来体现,美元可以用英镑来体现,英镑可以用日元来体现。

析:在翻译定语从句中充当主语的关系代词时,通常可以将关系代词还原成其所指代的人或物,也就是重复译出前面已经出现过的名词。这符合汉语的表达习惯。

本章练习

1.翻译下面的短文,注意在必要处采用重复翻译法

V olvo earnings rise by eleven percent in first quarter V olvo, the Swedish automotive, energy and food group, increased its profits by ten point nine percent in the first quarter of this year despite a fall of five percent in group turnover.

Profits after financial items rose to two point four five billion Swedish kronor (three hundred and forty-five million dollars) compared with two point two one billion Swedish kronor in the first quarter of last year. The group was helped by a two hundred and fifteen million Swedish kronor foreign-exchange gain on loans compared with a gain of thirty million Swedish kronor a year earlier as well as by interest earnings of a hundred and nine million Swedish kronor compared with seventy-seven million Swedish kronor in the first quarter of last year.

Operating profits were virtually unchanged at two point one three billion Swedish kronor compared with two point one billion Swedish kronor in the first quarter of last year. V olvo expects to make a productivity gain this year of at least five per cent.

The group's liquid funds, inflated by the record profits of the past two years, climbed to eighteen point two five billion Swedish kronor by the end of the first

quarter from fourteen point four billion Swedish kronor a year earlier.

V olvo profits, at least in the short term, have been h ed[led against the impact of the falling dollar, but the lower follar exchange rate shows clearly in the group's sales figures. V olvo turnover fell five per cent to twenty point six billion Swedish kronor from twenty-one point eight billion Swedish kronor in the first three months of last year despite a substantial rise in the volume of car sales.
