Passage 2

(1)So it is always when the mind is troubled among happy things, and then one almost wishes they could share one's troubles and become more real with it. (2)It seemed on that Sunday that a golden age had lasted till yesterday, and that the earth had still to learn the news of its ending. (3)And this change had come, not by the will of God, not even by the will of man, but because some few men far away were afraid to be open and generous with each other. (4)There was a power in their hands so great that it frightened them.(5)There was a spring that they knew they must not touch, and, like mischievous and nervous children, they had touched it at last, and now all the world was to suffer for their mischief. (6)So the next morning one saw a reservist in his uniform saying goodbye to his wife and children at his cottage-gate and then walking up the hill that leads out of the valley with a cheerful smile still on his face. (7)There was the first open sign of trouble, a very little one, and he made the least of it; and, after all, this valley is very far from any possible war, and its harvest and its vintage of perry and cider will surely be gathered in peace. ("中国翻译",2001/5)

(1)置身幸福环境的人,在思想受到困扰的时候,总有这种体验。接着,他几乎会奢望幸福环境能分担他的困扰并在分担中变得更为真实。(2)在那个星期天,人们感到,一个黄金时代已在昨日宣告结束,而大地对这消息尤浑然不觉。(3)这场变化之所以发生,不是上帝旨意使然,甚至也不是人类的意志使然,而是因为远在别处的少数人怯于开诚布公地善待同类。(4)他们手中握有足以令他们战栗的大权。(5)有一条他们知道不可触动的弹簧,可是如同喜欢捣蛋又战战兢兢的孩子,他们毕竟去触动了,为了他们的淘气,如今全世界的人要受罪了。(6)于是,翌日早晨,人们看见一名预备役士兵穿上了制服,在农舍门口告别妻孥,爬山出谷去了,脸上仍挂着欣喜的笑容。(7)那是出现麻烦的第一个朕兆,一点蛛丝马迹而已,当事人更是尽量不事张扬。归根到底,这片谷地远在可能燃起的战火之外,这儿的一应作物以及用于今年酿酒的梨子和苹果都将在和平环境中收摘归仓。

分析:这段文字主要用了切分(division)和视角转换(shift of perspective)等翻译技巧,具体分析如下:

(1)So it is always when the mind is troubled among happy things, and then one almost wishes they could share one's troubles and become more real with it.

(1)置身幸福环境的人,在思想受到困扰的时候,总有这种体验。接着,他几乎会奢望幸福环境能分担他的困扰并在分担中变得更为真实。

句1:1)切分:原文一句句子在译文中译成了两句。2)视角转换中的语序调整:原文 "So it is always" 在译文中放在了时间状语从句后面;3)重复:原文中代词 "it" 在译文中还原成所替代的名词 "share";

(2)It seemed on that Sunday that a golden age had lasted till yesterday, and that the earth had still to learn the news of its ending.

(2)在那个星期天,人们感到,一个黄金时代已在昨日宣告结束,而大地对这消息尤浑然不觉。

句2:1)减词: "and that" 在译文中省略;2)视角转换:原文"It seemed" 译成为"人们感到";原文"a golden age had lasted till yesterday" 译成为"

一个黄金时代已在昨日宣告结束";原文 "the earth had still to learn the news of its ending" 在译文中用了正说反译;

(3)And this change had come, not by the will of God, not even by the will of man, but because some few men far away were afraid to be open and generous with each other.

(3)这场变化之所以发生,不是上帝旨意使然,甚至也不是人类的意志使然,而是因为远在别处的少数人怯于开诚布公地善待同类。

句3:1)增词:译文中"之所以""使然"是增译;2)视角转换:原文的形容词短语"be open and generous with each other" 译成了动词短语"开诚布公地善待同类";3)措辞:"open"一词译成"开诚布公";

(4)There was a power in their hands so great that it frightened them. (4)他们手中握有足以令他们战栗的大权。

句4:1)增词:"握"字属于增译;2)减词:"so great that it frightened them" 中 "it" 省略;

(5)There was a spring that they knew they must not touch, and, like mischievous and nervous children, they had touched it at last, and now all the world was to suffer for their mischief.

(5)有一条他们知道不可触动的弹簧,可是如同喜欢捣蛋又战战兢兢的孩子,他们毕竟去触动了,为了他们的淘气,如今全世界的人要受罪了。

句5:用了1)减词:"they knew they must not touch"在译文中只译出一个"they";"they had touched it at last"中"it"没有译出; 2)意合:原文两个"and",一个译成"可是",另一个靠译文本身来理解;

(6)So the next morning one saw a reservist in his uniform saying goodbye to his wife and children at his cottage-gate and then walking up the hill that leads out of the valley with a cheerful smile still on his face. (6)于是,翌日早晨,人们看见一名预备役士兵穿上了制服,在农舍门口告别妻孥,爬山出谷去了,脸上仍挂着欣喜的笑容。

句6:1)切分:原文"in his uniform","with a cheerful smile still on his face"分别单独译出;2)减词:"walking up the hill that leads out of the valley"简单译成 "爬山出谷去了";

(7)There was the first open sign of trouble, a very little one, and he made the least of it; and, after all, this valley is very far from any possible war, and its harvest and its vintage of perry and cider will surely be gathered in peace.

(7)那是出现麻烦的第一个朕兆,一点蛛丝马迹而已,当事人更是尽量不事张扬。归根到底,这片谷地远在可能燃起的战火之外,这儿的一应作物以及用于今年酿酒的梨子和苹果都将在和平环境中收摘归仓。

句7:1)切分:原文中分号前后部分各译成一个句子;2)增词:"出现麻烦"中"出现"这两个字属增译;"今年"属增译;"any possible war"译成"可能燃起的战火"也属增译;3)减词:"open"一词没有译出;4)具体化:"harvest"一词译成 "一应作物";"peace"一词译成 "和平环境";5)视角转换(正说反译):肯定句"he made the least of it"译成否定句"当事人更是尽量不事张扬"。

英汉翻译技巧大全

英汉翻译技巧大全 定语从句: 定语从句是由一些关系代词或者关系副词引导的从句组成,用来修饰名词中心词。 Person has pieced togethter the workd of hundereds of researcher around theworld to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the latest date when we can expect hundreds of key breakthrough and discoveries to take place. 皮而森汇集了...生产出独特的千年历,这种千年历(它)能够... 定语的翻译要特别注意位子上的变化,即:如果是单词修饰名词就放在中心词的前面,这和汉语的词序是一样的;如果定语太长,定语就要放在中心词的后面,这时就要注意断句,重复先行词,例如: 1.I have the same problem as you concerning the learning of English 在学英语的问题上,我和你有同样的问题。 2.She has a perfect figure. 她身材不错。 3.This is indeed a most pressing problem. 这的确是一个非常棘手的问题。 4.The only other people who knew the secret were his father and mother. 别的知道这个秘密的人就是他的父母。 5.The effective work of maintaining discipline is usually performed by students who advise the academic authorities

英译汉篇章翻译2

英译汉篇章翻译练习(2) Proverbs are the popular sayings that brighten so much Latin American talk, the boiled-down wisdom that you are as apt to hear from professors as from peasants, from beggars as from elegances. Brief and colorful, they more often than not carry a sting. When a neighbor?s dismally unattractive daughter announced her engagement, Imelda remarked, “You know what they say, Senora: …There?s no pot so ugly it can?t find a lid.?” And when her son-in-law blustered about how he was going to get even with the boss who had docked his pay, Imelda fixed him with a cold eye and said, “Little fish does not eat big fish.” One afternoon, I heard Imelda and her daughter arguing in the kitchen. Her daughter had quarreled with her husband?s parents, and Imelda was in sisting that she apologized to them. Her daughter objected. “But, Mama, I just can?t swallow them, not even with honey. They talk so big until we need something; then they?re too poor. So today when they wouldn?t even lend us enough to pay for a new bed, a ll I did was say something that I?ve heard you say a hundred times: …If so grand, why so poor? If so poor, why so grand?” “Impertinent!” snorted Imelda. “Have I not also taught you, …What the tongue says, the neck pays for?? I will not have it said that I could never teach my daughter proper respect for her elders. And before you go to beg their pardon, change those trousers for a dress. You know how your mother-in-law feels about pants on a woman. She always says, …What was hatched a hen must not try to be a rooster!” Her daughter made one more try. “But Mama, you often say, …If the saint is annoyed, don?t pray to him until he gets over it.? Can?t I leave it for tomorrow?” “No, no and no! Remember: …If the dose is nasty, swallow it fast.? You know, my child, you did wrong. But, …A gift is the key to open the door closed against you.? I have a cake in the oven that I was making for the Senora?s dinner, I will explain to the Senora. Now, dear, hurry home and make yourself pretty in your pink dress. By the time you get back, I will have the cake ready for you to take to your mother-in-law. She will be so pleased that she may make your father-in-law pay for the bed. Remember: …One hand washes the other, but together they wash the face.?”

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.

Compiler: 《中国翻译》 Date: 2001/1 E-C Passage 1 The Three New Yorks Elwyn Brooks White (1) There are roughly three New Yorks. (2) There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. (3) Second, there is the New York of the commuter-the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. (4) Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. (5) Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last-the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. (6) It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. (7) Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness; natives give it solidity and continuity; but the settlers give it passion. (8)And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum, or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference; each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company. 三个纽约 埃尔文·布鲁克斯·怀特 (1) 大致说来有三个纽约。(2) 首先是那些土生土长的男男女女的纽约,他们对这座城市习以为常,认为它有这样的规模和喧嚣,乃是自然而然、不可避免的。 (3) 其次是家住郊区、乘公交车到市内上班的人们的纽约--这座城市每到白天就

英文翻中文的八大翻译技巧

英文翻中文的八大翻译技巧 要真正掌握英文翻译的技巧并非易事。这是因为英译汉时会遇到各种各样的困难,下面就和大家分享英文翻中文的八大翻译技巧推荐,来欣赏一下吧。 英文翻中文的八大翻译技巧推荐 首先是英文理解难,这是学习、使用英文的人的共同感觉,由于两国历史、文化、风俗习惯的不同,所以一句英文在英美人看来顺理成章,而在中国人看来却是颠颠倒倒、断断续续,极为别扭。 二是中文表达难,英译汉有时为了要找到一个合适的对等词汇,往往被弄得头昏眼花,好像在脑子里摸一个急于要开箱子的钥匙,却没有。 另外,英译汉时对掌握各种文化知识的要求很高,因为我们所翻译的*,其内容可能涉及到极为广博的知识领域,而这些知识领域多半是我们不大熟悉的外国的事情,如果不具备相应的文化知识难免不出现一些翻译中的差错或笑话。 正是因为英译汉时会遇到这么多的困难,所以,我们必须通过翻译实践,对英汉两种不同语言的特点加以对比、概况和总结,

以找出一般的表达规律来,避免出现一些不该出现的翻译错误,而这些表达的规律就是我们所说的翻译技巧。 一、词义的选择和引伸技巧 英汉两种语言都有一词多类和一词多义的现象。一词多类就是指一个词往往属于几个词类,具有几个不同的意义;一词多义就是同一个词在同一词类中又往往有几个不同的词义。在英译汉的过程中,我们在弄清原句结构后,就要善于运用选择和确定原句中关键词词义的技巧,以使所译语句自然流畅,完全符合汉语习惯的说法;选择确定词义通常可以从两方面着手: 1、根据词在句中的词类来选择和确定词义 They are as like as two peas .他们相似极了。(形容词) He likes mathematics more than physics .他喜欢数学甚于喜 欢物理。(动词) Wheat, oat, and the like are cereals .小麦、燕麦等等皆系谷类。(名词) 2、根据上下文联系以及词在句中的搭配关系来选择和确定词义。 He is the last man to come .他是最后来的。 He is the last person for such a job .他最不配干这个工作。

英汉翻译的基本方法和技巧

英汉翻译的基本方法和技巧 翻译是信息交流过程中极其复杂的社会心理现象。语言知识是翻译的基础。此外,翻译还涉及到推理、判断、分析和综合等复杂的心理认识过程。翻译的方法和技巧是翻译工作者在长期的实践中根据两种语言的特点总结归纳出来的一般规律。这些规律可以指导我们的翻译实践,使我们能更自觉、更灵活地处理翻译过程中所遇到的各种语言现象。下面就英译汉中的一些方法和技巧结合翻译实例作一概述。 1. 词义的选择 一词多义和一词多类是英汉两种语言都有的一种语言现象。因此,在平日的翻译练习和测试中,我们在弄清原文句子结构后,务必注意选择和确定句中关键词的词类和词义,以保证译文的质量。通常可从以下三个方面来考虑词义选择: 1)根据词在句中的词类来选择词义 例如:Censorship is for the good of society as a whole. Like the law, it contributes to the common good. [译文]:审查是为了整个社会的利益。它像法律一样维护公众利益。 [注释]:本句中like作介词,意为"像……一样"。但like作动词用,则意为"喜欢;想要"。例如:He likes films with happy endings. (他喜欢结局好的电影。)又如:Would you like to leave a message? (你要不要留个话儿?)此外,like还可以作形容词用,意为"相同的",如:Like charges repel; unlike charges attract.(电荷同性相斥,异性相吸。) 2)根据上下文和词在句中的搭配关系选择词义 例1 According to the new s chool of scientists, technology is an overlooked force in expanding the horizons of scientific knowledge. [译文]:新学派的科学家们认为,技术在扩大科学知识范围过程中是一种被忽视的力量。 [注释]:school一词常被误译为"学校",其实,school还有一个词义"学派"。可见,正确选择词义对译文质量有重要影响,而文章的上下文和逻辑联系是翻译中选择词义的重要依据。 例2 Now since the assessment of intelligence is a comparative matter we must be sure that the scale with which we are comparing our subjects provides a "valid" or "fair" comparison. [译文]:既然对智力的评估是比较而言的,那么我们必须确保,在对我们的对象进行比较时,我们所使用的尺度要能提供"有效的"和"公平的"比较。 [注释]:许多人把scale译为"范围",和文章的语篇意思和句子的确切含义大相径庭。

短文中英文翻译

攻势已经持续了三天,但是我们并没有取得多少进展。师长(division commander)命令我们营(battalion)夜晚绕到敌人后方发起突然袭击。然而,要绕到敌人后方,我们必须越过一片沼泽地(marshland)。我们很多人担心会陷入泥潭之中。我们营长决定冒一下险。所幸由于寒冷天气沼泽地都结上了冰,我们于天亮前到达目的地并从敌人后方发起进攻。这一下扭转了战局。敌人没有戒备,不久便投降了。 The offensive had already lasted three days, but we had not gained much ground. Our troops engaging the enemy at the front were faced with strong/fierce/stiff resistance. The division commander instructed our battalion to get around to the rear of the enemy and launch a surprise attack. To do so, however, we had to cross a marshland and many of us were afraid we might get bogged down in the mud. Our battalion commander decided to take a gamble. We started under cover of darkness and pressed on in spite of great difficulties. By a stroke of luck, the temperature at night suddenly dropped to minus 20 degrees Celsius and the marsh froze over. Thanks to the cold weather, we arrived at our destination before dawn and began attacking the enemy from the rear. This turned the tide of the battle. The enemy, caught off guard, soon surrendered. 汽车自从发明以来使交通运输发生了革命性的变化,永远地改变了人们的生活、旅行和办事的方式。但另一方面,也带来了危害,尤其是公路死亡事故。然而,现今由于计算机技术和电子传感器的使用,有可能消除发生的大多数交通事故。例如,装在你汽车上的电子传感器能检测到空气中的酒精雾汽并拒绝启动引擎。同样传感器还能通过接受在轨道上运行的卫星发出的信号监测器路况并大大减少你陷入交通拥堵的可能性。 Automobiles have, since their invention, revolutionized transportation, changing forever the way people live, travel, and do business. On the other hand, they have brought hazards, especially highway fatalities. However, today the application of computer technology and electronic sensors in designing and manufacturing cars makes it possible to eliminate most of traffic accidents. For example, electronic sensors mounted in your car can detect alcohol vapor in the air and refuse to start up the engine. They can also monitor road conditions by receiving radio signals sent out from orbiting satellites and greatly reduce your chances of getting stuck in traffic jams. 常言道,好的开端是成功的一半。在求职时,求职者事先做好充分的准备是非常重要的。我认为,事先做不做准备显然会影响求职者的成功机会。 我的一位朋友在一家大型计算机软件公司供职,年薪十万美元左右。他根据自己的经历告诉我,那些面试未来雇员的具有录用决定权的人喜欢有充分准备的人。那些没有在了解未来雇主方面尽全力的人很难有成功的希望。 Well begun, half done,as the saying goes. It is extremely important for a job applicant to do his homework while seeking employment.From my standpoint, whether or not one has done his homework clearly makes a difference in his chance of success. I have a friend who is earning somewhere in the neighborhood of100,000 dollars a years in a large computer software company. He told me that from his own experience the decision makers who interview prospective employees like people who are well prepared. Those who make no endeavor to learn as much about his prospective employer as possible don’t have much of a chance of success. 全球化对中国年轻人具有重大影响。例如,年轻的农民正在大规模流向城市寻找工作。而对那些想出国深造或进外企工作的年轻人来说,英语变得越来越重要。另一方面,许多海外学子近年来回归祖国,因为他们看好中国经济的长期增长前景。因特网加强了中国年轻人和其他地方年轻人的联系。他们跟踪最新的潮流,模仿外国的时尚。他们中一些人似乎不在乎中国的传统美德,更不要说发扬光大,这使得有人忧虑中国传统文化会不会有一天终将消

英语翻译技巧

翻译技巧 由于汉英两种语言在词法、句法上的差异,翻译并不是简单的一对一复制,而是根据具体情况,灵活地运用翻译技巧坐车必要的调整和改变,使译文最大程度地再现原文的意义,又使它符合译语的表达习惯。 翻译技巧大体分为八类。它们是:加注(annotation)、释义(paraphrase)、增词(amplification)、减词(omission)、转换(shift of perspective)、归化(adaptation)、切分(division)和合并(combination)。 1.加注 由于汉英文化的不同,英语中某些词义在汉语中根本不存在,形成词义上的空缺。在这种情况下,常常采用加注法来弥补空缺。加注可分为音译加注和直译加注两种。 音译加注指音译后附加解释性注释。注释可长可短,可以在文中注释,也可采用脚注。 Cartoon 卡通片 Hamburger 汉堡包 Benz 奔驰车 Hippie 嬉皮士(20世纪60年代出现在美国的青
