随着世界各民族之间的各种形态接触，一个民族语言中的某些形式传至另一个民族的语言，于是就产生了外来词，吸收和使用外来词成为语言词汇变化的重要因素。叶斯帕森说，“没有任何一种语言是绝对纯洁的，我们也找不出一个没有吸收外来词的民族。”萨丕尔也曾指出, 由于交际的需要, 使说一种语言的人们直接或间

接和那些邻近的或文化优越的语言说者发生接触。然而各种语言对外来词语吸收、消化的能力，存在着很大差异。

1 汉字吸收外来词的主要方式

汉字既有表意功能，又有表音功能。因此，外来词要进入汉语的词汇系统，必须接受汉语的语音、语法和构词规则等各方面的改造，以符合汉语的发音习惯、语法和词汇规则。因为现代汉字是“表意和表音文字”。外来词有音译词、意译词、音意兼译词和直接借用四种主要形式。

摘要：英语和汉语的对比，通过对两这种语言的语法特征、修辞手段、翻译技巧、思维方式等等方面的具体讲解，把语言和文化结合起来，对中西方思维方式的不同加以对比分析讲解，清晰、不显枯燥的同时又具有说服力。众所周知，要想学好外语，对其特点的了解是必须的，而要了解其特点，最好的方法就是与母语加以比较。思维方式是造成语言差异的重要原因。影响思维方式的因素也多种多样。英语学习，尤其是翻译，不是一蹴而就的，它需要不断地理解学习和练习，更多时候，了解英汉语言之间的不同以及中西方文化、思维上的的追根溯源也是必要的，因为学习一门语言语言，在一定程度上也是对其文化和思维方式的学习。Speaking of English and Chinese comparison，the language of the two rhetorical devices, translation skills, thinking mode and so on,they combine language with culture. As we all know, in order to learn a foreign language, it is necessary to understand its characteristics, and to understand its characteristics, the best way is to compare with the mother tongue. There are many factors influencing the way of thinking. Learning English, especially translation, not overnight, it needs to understand the study and practice, more often, understanding between English and Chinese and Western cultures, different thinking on the back is necessary, because learning a foreign language is the way of thinking and learning. 关键词：思维方式语法特征修辞手段翻译技巧逻辑思维抽象思维英语注重形合，且注重环环相扣的逻辑关系，所以汉译英时往往要加入连词和对句子进行扩展和组合，形成复合句或长句；相反，由于汉语句子一般结构较为简化，无拖沓，所以在英译汉时也应当注意，常常需要将英语句子进行分解、拆散和重组。英语文章多为长短句交错使用，了解这一特点对平时汉译英和写作时也大有益处。又如，英语通常为物做主语，而汉语则为人，所以在英汉互译的时候要注意其人称、物称主语的转换。文化上的不同也是需要注意的，如在写作的时候，西方人喜欢引用专家学者，尤其是有科学依据的观点，而中国人则频繁使用领袖和伟人的话。思维方式是造成语言差异的重要原因。影响思维方式的因素也多种多样。其中最为明显的，概括而言是中国人的思维方式受到儒、道和佛三家的影响，形成了中国人的悟性，重人文，轻科学，而西方则讲求逻辑思维，以判断推理为主，提倡理性思辨和科学探索。英语学习，尤其是翻译，不是一蹴而就的，它需要不断地理解学习和练习，更多时候，了解英汉语言之间的不同以及中西方文化、思维上的的追根溯源也是必要的，因为学习一门语言语言，在一定程度上也是对其文化和思维方式的学习。The way of thinking,Performance method, rhetorical device,translation skill,logical thinking,abstract thinking, Pay attention to the logical relationship of interlocking, So the translation often join conjunctions and extension and combination of the sentence on the contrary, the Chinese sentence structure is simplified, without procrastination, so in English Chinese translation should also be noted that the English sentence often needs to be decomposed and detached and reassembled. English articles for the length of sentence interlaced, understanding of the characteristics of the usual translation and writing is also helpful. Cultural differences also need to be noted,

实用英汉对比与翻译

第二章英汉句式结构对比与翻译 一. 英文句式结构 基本上为主谓结构,可以扩展为5种: 主+谓、主+谓+宾、主+谓+宾+宾补、主+谓+宾+间宾+直宾、主+系+表。汉语中有部分句子与上述英文句子是对应的。 二. 中文句式结构 （一）主谓结构。（可分为主动和被动） （二）主题—评述句 1. 很多汉语句子是“话题性”很强的句子，即句子的前面是一个话题，后面是对话题的评述或陈述、描述。 如：他处境很危险；楼上住着个女工。 2. 其中话题跟后面的动词只是对这个话题所作的说明,不一定表示主语所指称的实体的行动或性质,或者后面根本就没有动词。 3. 结论：将此类句子翻译成英文时，需进行句式结构的调整，在整个句中找到可以在英文中作主语的词，然后再根据主语选择合适的动词，如果找不到主语，就需要添加主语，或将句子中动作的承受着作主语，变为英文的被动语态。 4. 主题—评述句可归纳为如下几种： ⑴动作承受者作话题。如：那件事我已经办好了。 ⑵双话题。如：我头疼。 ⑶动词或动词短语作话题。如：加入世贸组织利大于弊。 ⑷从句作话题。如：张三明天去美国，我觉得很奇怪。 ⑸地点作话题。如：桌上搁着一碗饭。 ⑹时间作话题。如：今天风和日暖。 （三）无主句 1.即“非主语句”，一种是没有主语的，叫无主句，还有一种是由一个词构成的，叫独词句，如：火！注意！这种句 子可以直译。 2.一般来说，无主句主要用于以下几种情况： ⑴表达客观、科学、公正的语气。汉语的一些科技材料或法律条文中往往使用无主句，目的是使表达的内容更科学、公正。这种情况下，无主句要以为英文的主谓结构时，一般都转化为被动语态，也就是使用原文的宾语做主语，因为被动语态不强调动作的发出者，可以比较准确地表达原文的语用效果。 如：要制造飞机，就要考虑空气阻力问题。Air resistance has to be taken into consideration when an airplane is to be made. ⑵表达不满又不失礼貌地语气。汉语中无主句多用来表达一种微妙的情感，在不强调施事者的情况下，表达自己的观点，不满等。在英语中，遇到同样的情况，一般较为广泛地使用被动语态。这样说话人可以避免对自己所说的话负责，听话人也不会感到说话人在把自己的主观意志强加给自己。所以，此类无主句可以译为英语的被动句。有时也可以用形式主语it，避开主观语气。 如：为什么总把这些麻烦事推给我呢？Why are these troubles always left to me? 有时也可以用形式主语it，避开主观语气。 如：学这一套，不如去学照相。It is better to learn photographing than to learn this stuff. ⑶省略第一人称主语“我”或“我们”。有时候为了直接表达自己的观点，说话人刻意省去了“我”或“我们”。这些无主句往往出现在较为正式的场合或正式的书面报告中，翻译成英文时可根据集体情况添加主语“我”或“我们”，最好不要将其转译为英语的被动语态。 如：希望一切问题都会迎刃而解。I hope that all the problems will be readily solved.

Soon he reached the Li Xia Pavilion, so he stepped ashore and went in, and when he entered the gate he saw a house, the paint of which was practically all worn away. Of all the children, granny loved her second son, my uncle, best. The reason is that he not only resembles her very much, but also represents all her hopes.

Granny pinned all the hopes of the family on my uncle, who was vivacious by nature and brilliant in his studies ever since his childhood,

浅析英汉句子结构差异与翻译

浅析英汉句子结构差异与翻译 1.引言 对译者来说,英汉两种语言的对比研究是十分必要的。这种对比的范围非常广泛,对比的层面可以从语音、词汇、词组、句子、句群、语篇、修辞、文体等两种语言系统本身的结构、类别、功能以及各层次之间的关系来进行对比与分析，各种对比有助于发现两种语言之间的异同,把握各自的特点与规律,从而更好地指导翻译工作。 本文之所以选择句子作为英汉对比的单位,这是因为,首先,句子是语言表述最基本的单位,也是人类思维的单位之一。其次,句子在语言中是连接词汇词组与句群、语篇的纽带。换句话说,句子最能反映两种语言差别之所在。而对比分析英汉两种语言的句子结构特点,把握东西方人思维模式的差异,将有助于探寻英汉互译的规律和法则[1]。对译者来说要做好翻译工作,就必须对英汉两种语言的句子结构有充分、透彻的了解,只有这样才能做好英汉翻译工作。当然,英汉语句子结构的比较是一个十分复杂、庞大的研究项目。本文只是从英汉句子结构差异与翻译之间的关系着手,通过对英汉句子结构的比较，分析英汉句子结构差异对英汉翻译的影响，使译者在进行翻译工作时注意这两种语言在句子结构上的差异，更准确流畅地进行英汉语之间的翻译。 2.英汉语句子结构差异与翻译 2.1 汉语句子重意合英语句子重形合 美国翻译理论家奈达在其《译意》一书中指出“就汉语和英语而言，也许在语言学上最重要的一个区别，就是形合和意合的对比。”具体来说，英语比较注重句子结构形式的完整性和逻辑的合理性。英语的语法成分都具有独立的作用，其句子的从属关系大多是用连接词，如“if,although,because,when,in order that,so”等表现出来，即英语句子往往以形统神，以丰满的形态变化制约句子的格局；而汉语句法关系主要靠词序和语义关系表达，句子中成分与成分之间的关系比较内在化、隐含化、模糊化，往往并不追求形式的完整，而只求达意而已。但是英汉语句

English-Chinese Contrast and Translation I. Introduction I have learned the “Comparison of English and Translation:An Introduction ” for a semester and I would like to talk about some of my own understanding of this course here . II. Native Language Transfer in first language learning : Interference or Facilitation ? Some people may ask what is language transfer . Transfer is the influence resulting from the similarities and differences between the target language and any other language that has been previously acquired . (Od-lin , 1989 : 27 ) We could divided translate into two part : Negative Transfer and Positive Transfer . By awareness of the similarities and differences between the two languages can facilitate first language learning . 2.1 Negative Transfer To sum up , there are probably three causes would form negative transfer . Firstly , analogical use of one’s prior knowledge of the mother tongue makes us study Chinese-style English easier . Secondly , Confusion comes from scanty knowledge of differences between the two languages . Thirdly , we always unconscious falling back on the mother tongue since customary . For a few example : 2.1.1 The writer likes writing at light (night) . The sound /n/ does not exist in some Chinese dialects and /l/ serves as a substitute . 2.1.2 He only eat two meal a day . Neither nouns nor verbs have inflections in Chinese . 2.1.3 Shanghai is said to have thirteen million population . The noun renkou , the Chinese equivalent of “population ”can have a numerical pre-modifier . 2.1 4 He suggested me to accept this offer . The verb jianyi , the Chinese equivalent of “suggest ” can be used in VOC pattern in Chinese . 2.1.5 --Your English is wonderful . --No , no . My English is still poor . The negative reply to a compliment is considered in Chinese as modest and courteous . We could turn negative transfer into positive by making analysis on differences between the two languages and arouse the learner’s awareness of avoiding or reducing errors from analogy . III.

英汉语言系统对比与翻译

英汉语言系统对比与翻译 一、被动与主动 （一）英语多用被动式原因 1、施事的原因。 2、句法的要求。 （1）为了使句子承上启下、前后连贯、便于衔接。 （2）为了使句子平衡。 （3）修辞的考虑。 （4）文体的需要。 （二）汉英多主动式原因 1、汉语被动式的使用受到限制。 2、使用受事主语(Receptor subject)导致大量的“当然被动句”。 3、当不需要或不可能说出施事者的时候，汉语可以采用无主句或主语省略句来保持句子的主动形式。 4、当施事者难以指明时，汉语还可以采用通称(generic person)或泛称作主语。 5、当不便使用被动式时，汉语可采用某些转换式来表达被动意义。 （1）处置式(即“把字式”或“将字式”) （2）“为……所”式。 （3）“是……的”式。 （4）“……的是” （5）“……加以／予以”式。 二、物称与人称（Impersonal vs Personal ） （一）、英语常用非人称，主语汉语常用人称主语 1、用抽象名词或无生命的事物名称作主语。 2用非人称代词“it”作主语。代词“it”除了用来代替除人以外的生物或事物之外还广泛用作填补词expletive。 （二）英语常用被动式，采用物称表达法：汉语常用主动式，采用人称、泛称或隐称表达法。 三、静态与动态（Static vs. Dynamic) 1、名词化倾向是英语的特征之一 2、名词作为施事者对动词的替代 3、名词构成标题式短语对形容词的替代 4、名词优势引起的介词优势 5、动词的弱化 6、形容词副词对动词的替代 7、动词连用是汉语的常态 8、动词可以充当汉语的任何句子成份 9、汉语句子中的动词可重复重叠

英汉句法对比和翻译

英汉句法对比和翻译 摘要：句子是各种语言之间进行翻译转换的基本单位，而不同语言之言句法现象的差异决定了翻译过程中要采取相应的翻译策略。因此，要做好翻译工作，就必须对英汉两种语言的句法现象差异充分地了解。本文从语序，主动与被动，代替与重复等方面对英汉句法进行了对比，从而更好的进行翻译。 关键词：句子对比翻译 一引言 英译汉或汉译英的一切翻译理论、方法和技巧都建立在英汉两种语言的对比上。因此对于翻译实践来说，对比英汉两种语言的异同，尤其是英汉句法的对比，从而掌握两种语言的特点是十分重要的。通过对比，掌握两种语言的特点，在翻译是就可以自觉地运用这些特点，还可以使我们重视一切难译之处。英语和汉语在句法方面差异很大。所有的英语句法规则，并不适合于汉语。同样，所有的汉语句法规则也不都适合于英语。本文从语序、意合与形合、主动与被动、代替与重复这四个方面来进行句法对比，从而使我们更好地进行翻译。 二语序 英语中由于有动词的形态变化，加上各种关联词语，分句的安排比较自由，多数可前可后；而汉语分句的位置则不然，尽管有关联词语标示分句间的关系，但位置仍然比较固定，仍然要遵循时序先后，逻辑事理的规律安排顺序。对比英汉语的语序实际上就是比较英汉语复合句中按时间和逻辑关系的顺序。

（一）英汉语复合句中的时间顺序 1、英语复合句中，表示时间的从句可以在主句之前，也可以在主句之后，叙述顺序很灵活；汉语则通常先发生的事先叙述，后发生的事后叙述。 例：1）After I had my dinner , I went out for a walk. (前置) 我吃了晚饭后，出去散步。(前置) 2）I went out for a walk after I had my dinner. （后置） 我吃了晚饭后，出去散步。（前置）3）Jake apparently was hit by the first of what witness believed were three shots. 原译：杰克先生明显地是被目击者相信开了三枪中的第一枪击中的。 改译:据目击者说，凶手共开了三枪，杰克显然是被第一枪击中的。 2、当句子里既有叙事部分，又有表态部分，英语通常是表态在前，叙事在后，表态部分较短，叙事部分一般比较长。 例：I am worried that I will be looked down upon by taking a job serving others. 我担心这份工作是伺候人的，要被人瞧不起。 （二）英汉语复合句中的逻辑顺序 1、在表示因果关系的英语复合句中，因果顺序比较灵活，表 示原因的从句的位置可以在主句之前，也可以在主句之后，汉 语中多数情况为先从句后主句，先因后果。 例1)She did not come to school yesterday because she was ill .(后置)因为她生病了，所以她昨天没去学校。（前置）
