汉语四字格的分类

汉语四字格的分类 四字格词语是汉语词汇的一大特点，它一般由分成前后两个部分的四个词素构成。 从语法关系看，词组中前后两个部分可以是主谓、动宾、偏正或者并列关系 从结构上看，四字格由自由词组和固定词组组成。自由词组是临时组成的，可以随意拆散，重新组合，例如：“品种齐全，做工精细”等；而固定词组是一个整体，四个语素不能拆开、随意更换。 四字格的汉英翻译方法 汉语中出现的四字格，很多只是为了读起来上口，对仗，并没有太深的寓意，在英语中我们并不一定能找到一个表达形式与之对应，我们只需准确理解其真正含义，然后进行翻译： 1、将四字格前后两个词语分开 2、判断这两个词语属于什么词类 3、分析前后两个词语间的逻辑关系 4、通过逻辑关系确定翻译方法 并列关系法：将前后两个词语分别译成相应的英语译文，然后中间用并列连 词”and”连接即可。 名山大川famous mountains and great rivers名胜古迹scenic spots and historical sites青山绿水green hills and clear waters平等互利equality and mutual benefit扬长避短play up strengths and avoid weaknesses反腐倡廉fight corruption and build a clean government集思广益draw on collective wisom and absorb all useful ideas

语义重复法：这类四字格前后两个词语的语意是一样的，如果前后两个词语都翻译的话就构成语义重复了，所以在翻译这类四字格的时候，只需翻译一项语义就行 层峦叠嶂peaks rising one after another优胜劣汰survival of the fittest审时度势size up the trend of events招商引资attract investment 目的关系法：这类四字格前后两个词语具有目的关系，对于这类四字格可以采用动词不定式或者介词短语来表达目的状语 减员增效downsize (and cut payroll) to improve efficiency (for efficiency)退耕还林return cultivated land to forest or pastures集资办学raise money to set up new schools结党营私form cliques for private gain扭亏为盈turn a loss-making enterprise into a profitable one 途径方式法：具有这种逻辑关系的四字格可以采用介词through ,according to, with 等介词短语表达相应的方式状语 寓教于乐teach through lively activities因材施教teach students according to their aptitude按劳分配distribution according to performance以商养文support /sponsor cultural activities with the profits from doing business 偏正词组法：对于偏正关系的四字格必有一主一次，将其中一个词语处理为修饰性成分，而将另外一个处理为中心词 廉洁奉公honestly perform one’s official duties环境绿化environmental greening超前消费premature consumption; Over-consume; excessive consumption以强凌弱the strong domineering over the weak以人为本people foremost; People-oriented 动宾关系：优势互补complement each other’s advantages 自主经营，自负盈亏make one’s own management decisions, take full responsibility for one’s own profits and losses 条件关系：不进则退no progress simply means regression 省略意向：瞻前顾后overcautious （过于谨慎的）and indecisive(犹豫不决的)源远流长have a long history呕心沥血spare no efforts画龙点睛bring out the crucial point花天酒地go on the loose汗马功劳exploits 闻名遐迩famous独具匠心original中流砥柱mainstay, chief cornerstone鱼米之乡a land of milk and honey世外桃源a haven of peace

第三章定语从句的翻译与四字格的运用

3．5. Translation of Attributive Clauses 定语从句的翻译 For the short attributives, we can often put them before the head nouns they modifies in translation, no matter they are restrictive or non-restrictive ones. It is a consolation to know that they will surely carry on the cause for which Edgar Snow strove so faithfully all his life. （strive for sth. faithfully 为……奋斗不渝）了解到他们一定会继承爱德加·斯诺终生为之奋斗不渝的事业，这是令人欣慰的。 His laugh, which was very infectious, broke the silence. 他富于感染力的笑声打破了沉默。 For longer attributives, we can often translate them into another clause(小句) or sentence through division. They are striving for the ideal which is close to the heart of every Chinese and for which, in the past, many Chinese have laid down their lives. 他们正在为实现一个理想而努力奋斗，这个理想是每个中国人所珍爱的，在过去，许多中国人曾为此献出了自己的生命。 A fuel is a material which will burn at a reasonable temperature and produce heat. 燃料是一种物质，在适当的温度下能够燃烧并放出热量。 For those sentences whose main clause is short while the attributive is long with the focus of message in it, we can usually combine the attributive clause with main one. We are a people that have inherited ancient wisdom, that know the worth of biding one’s time and recognized opportunity for combat. 我们的民族继承了古代的智慧，懂得如何等待并善于抓住战机。 A true revolution is one that is devoted to human progress in all domains and that makes human progress the supreme and final object. 真正的革命，致力于人类的全面发展，并以此作为行动的终极目标。 There are some special attributive clauses which are attributives in form but equivalent of temporal, causal, adversative adverbial clauses, etc. (时间、原因、让步等状语从句)in meaning. Such clauses should be understood profoundly as to their relation to the main clause and translated flexibly as demonstrated below. They were very angry with their daughter, who insisted on marrying that ugly old man. 他们非常生女儿的气，因为她坚持要嫁给那个丑陋不堪的老头儿。 Her refusal to obey him greatly incensed him who had never met that kind of opposition before. 她拒绝服从他，这使他大为生气，因为他从来没有遭到过那样的反对。 He would be a rash man who should venture to defy world public opinion and act arbitrarily. 如果有人胆敢公然蔑视世界公众舆论而一意孤行,那他一定是个卤莽之徒。 Don’t you feel it strange that she should be so much ungrateful to Jack, who did so much for her when she was in poverty? ungrateful：忘恩负义 杰克在她困难时帮了她那么多，她却对杰克如此忘恩负义，你不觉得奇怪吗？ Flexibly Translating Attributive Clauses Introduced by “as”(灵活翻译由as 引导的定语从句)： ▼It is absolutely wrong to think foreign languages useless, as quite a few people did before. 认为外语无用是绝对错误的，不少人过去就有这种想法。 ▼It was very cold that night, as it usually was. 那天晚上寒冷刺骨，这里的天气常常这样。

成语四字格翻译

第五讲成语、俗语、典故的翻译 何为成语 成语既是一种结构固定而凝练、内涵丰富而深刻的语言现象，也是人类的历史和文化在人们所使用语言中的体现和反映。汉语和英语中都含有丰富的成语，在汉语中，成语指人们长期以来习用的，简洁精辟定型的词组或短语,常为四字短语，而在英语中，成语是词组，其含义不同于其中单词的含义，（idiom is phrase which means something different from meanings of the separate words）是不能明显地从构成其成分的单词的含义中找到其含义的词组和句子，必须从整体上进行理解。（phrase or sentence whose meaning not obvious through knowledge of the individual meanings of the consituent words but must be learnt as a whole） 英汉成语的相似性 两个基本特征： 一、语义的统一性或整体性：一条成语所表达的是一个整体的意思。 二、结构的固定性或定型性：成语的词序结构一般不能随意更改或颠倒，也不能随意增 减词，或者任意使用其它的词来替代某个词。 按照汉语成语和英语成语的语法功能和结构成分来分析，汉语成语可以分成动词性、名词性、形容词性和副词性成语等四大类。英语成语也包括这四大类。 Eg: 弃恶从善（动词性） turn over a new leaf （动词性） 富丽堂皇（形容词性） （as）jolly as a sand boy （形容词性） 千方百计（副词性） tooth and nail （副词性） 英汉成语中所反映的文化差异 1、生存环境的差异 成语的产生与人们的劳动和生活密切相关。英国是一个岛国，历史上航海业曾一度领先世界；而汉民族在亚洲大陆生活繁衍，人们的生活离不开土地。比喻花钱浪费，大手大脚，英语是spend money like water，而汉语是“挥金如土”。英语中有许多关于船和水的成语，在汉语中没有完全相同的对应成语，如to rest on one's oars（暂时歇一歇）, to keep one's head above water（奋力图存）, all at sea（不知所措）等等。 在汉语的文化氛围中，“东风”即是“春天的风”，夏天常与酷署炎热联系在一起，“赤日炎炎似火烧”、“骄阳似火”是常被用来描述夏天的词语。而英国地处西半球，北温带，海洋性气候，报告春天消息的却是西风，英国著名诗人雪莱的《西风颂》正是对春的讴歌。英国的夏季正是温馨宜人的季节，常与“可爱”、“温和”、“美好”相连。莎士比亚在他的一首十四行诗中把爱人比作夏天，Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?/Thou art more lovely and more temperate。 2、习俗差异 英汉习俗差异是多方面的，最典型的莫过于在对狗这种动物的态度上。狗在汉语中是一种卑微的动物。汉语中与狗有关的成语大都含有贬意：“狐朋狗党”、“狗急跳墙”、“狼心狗肺”、“狗腿子”等，尽管近些年来养庞物狗的人数大大增加，狗的“地位”似乎有所改变，但狗的贬义形象却深深地留在汉语言文化中。而在西方英语国家，狗被认为是人类

汉语四字格及新词翻译

汉语四字格翻译 汉语中四字结构的翻译在很多时候，非常令人头疼棘手，很多同学要么误认为这些都属于成语，要么总想在英语中找一个形式与之对应的翻译来处理。其实不然，汉语中出现的四字格，很多只是为了读起来上口，对仗，并没有太深的寓意，我们只需简单的理解一下意思，我们在很多情况下可以将四字格前后两个词语分开来处理，首先判断该结构属于什么词类，然后再分析前后两个词语间的逻辑关系，用相应的单词或者表达处理即可。 请看下面的例子： （一）并列关系 这种四字结构，前后两个词语属于并列关系，我们只要能够将前后两个词语分别译成相应的英语译文，中间用并列连词“and”连接即可。 名山大川famous mountains and great rivers 名胜古迹scenic spots and historical sites 湖光山色landscape of lakes and hills 青山绿水green hills and clear waters 奇松怪石strangely-shaped pines and grotesque rock formations 平等互利equality and mutual benefit 扬长避短play up strengths and avoid weaknesses 反腐倡廉fight corruption and build a clean government 简政放权streamline administration and institute decentralization 集思广益draw on collective wisdom and absorb all useful ideas 国泰民安the country flourish and the people live in peace and harmony 政通人和the government functions well and people cooperate well 国计民生national welfare and the people’s livelihood 辞旧迎新bid farewell to the old year and usher in the new 徇私舞弊bend the law for personal gain and engage in fraud 流连忘返linger on with no thought of leaving for home 国际局势复杂多变the complex and volatile international situation 开拓进取blaze new trails and forge ahead 求同存异seek common ground while shelving differences （二）语意重复 这种四字结构前后两个词语的语意是一样的，如果前后两个词语都翻译就构成语意重复了，广袤无垠的中华大地the boundless expanse of the Chinese territory 高瞻远瞩的决策a visionary/far-sighted decision 贯彻落实重大决策carry out/ implement a series of major policy decisions 层峦叠嶂peaks rising one after another 优胜劣汰survival of the fittest 延年益寿prolong one’s life 灵丹妙药panacea / miraculous cure
