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。

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。

试卷二:信息技术

信息技术,正在飞速发展,中国公民也越来越重视信息技术,有些学校甚至将信息技术作为必修课程,对这一现象大家持不同观点。一部分人认为这是没有必要的,学生就应该学习传统的课程。另一部分人认为这是应该的,中国就应该与时俱进。不管怎样,信息技术引起广大人民的重视是一件好事。

With full speed development of the information technology, Chinese citizens pay more and more attention to it. Some schools even take the information technology as a required course. For this phenomenon, different people have different opinions. Some people argue that it is not necessary to do this since the traditional courses are supposed to be learned. 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.

新四级汉译英段落翻译技巧

新四级汉译英段落翻译技巧 新四级汉译英段落翻译解题技巧 ?题型简介?基本要求?翻译技巧 题型简介 ?自2013年12月考次起,全国大学英语四级考试的翻译部分将由原单句汉译英调整文段落汉译英,翻译内容涉及中国的历史、文化、经济、社会发展等题材。 140~160词 基本要求 要求考生以词、句的翻译为基础,扩大到对整体段落的翻译的把握,段落内容相对完整、结构相对独立。翻译时要把整个段落当作一个有机的语篇,注意各句子之间的衔接和段落间的过渡。 翻译技巧 (一) 词的翻译 (二) 句的翻译 (三) 段落翻译 (一) 词的翻译 1. 词义选择 2. 词类转换 3. 词的增补 4. 词的省略 5. 词的替代 1.词义选择 (1)语境词?汉语有些词语的含义会因语境而发生微妙的变化,称之为“语境词”,应紧密结合上下文译成相应的词,不能按照原词的字面意思来译。?原文:手机刷新了人与人的关系。?译文:Cell phone have altered the relationship among people. ?分析:“刷新”此处实际是指“改变”,而并非是我们平常所指的含义,因此不宜译成refurbish或renovate,翻译为alter或 change更恰当。 (2) 表意模糊的词?原文:这所全国重点大学为社会输送了大批的人才。?译文:The national key university has prepared batches of qualified graduates for the society. ?分析:“输送”在句中是一个模糊笼统的词,具体说来是指“培养出”。“人才”笼统,译为qualified graduates比较确切。 (3) 比喻词汇?汉语有许多比喻词汇,表面意义和喻指含义完全不同,英译时应跳出机械对应的思维定式,动态地译出其潜在含义。?原文:老师答应给这几个学生“吃小灶”。?译文:The teacher has promised to give these students special tuition. ?分析:“吃小灶”在这里指的是“个别辅导”。 2.词类转换 (1)动词?名词?英语动词受到形态变化规则的严格限制,大量本应该由动词表达的概念,常需借助于名词,因为名词不受形态规则的束缚,使用相对灵活、方便。?原文:吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。?译文:You"ll be full of praise while eating the first two main courses. ?分析:英语中有大量抽象名词表示行为或动作意义 advice,agreement,inheritance,knowledge,praise,use等。以上例句借助抽象名词表达了特定的行为动作,译文也显得较为地道。 (2)动词?介词?介词与名词密切相关,英语名词的广泛使用使得介词也频繁出现,而且英语中有些介词本身就是由动词演变来的。汉译英时,有些动词可以用介词来表达。?原文:人们常用剪纸美化环境。?译文:People often beautify their homes with paper cuttings. (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) 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。)

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.

2016考研英语:段落翻译练习及解析

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
