散文英译本中的英汉词汇对比与翻译

摘要：翻译不仅是简单的文字符号转换，更是思维方式和观念系统的转换。在散文的英

译中，更能看出翻译不单纯是两种语言在形式上的转换，更是一种文化活动，是基于两种语言之上的文化交流，还包含着两种文化在交流之中的相互渗透和相互兼容。因此，对散文汉英语言词汇进行对比分析，探讨其相互之间的关系和对翻译的影响，有助于提高翻译的质量和效果，促进外语学习和文化交流。

一、引言

散文是一种可以充分利用各种题材，自由地展现主体个性风格，以抒情写意、广泛地反映社会生活为主要目的文学文体。散文涉及多个文化层面并透到语言的各个层面，如语音、词汇、句子、语篇等，尤其在汉英文本的转换过程中。本文从英汉词汇的层面作对比，结合张培基和朱纯深关于《匆匆》的两个英译本，探讨汉译英中的词汇翻译如何处理。

二、英汉词汇形式对比及翻译

1、叠词

叠词作为语言的一种特殊词汇现象，体现了语言的音韵美、形象美、表达美。虽然英语和汉语都有使用叠词的习惯，但汉语的叠词构成更为复杂灵活。而朱自清的散文拥有丰富的审美价值与叠词的频繁使用是密不可分的。在英译中，受到多方面原因的限制，译者往往会通过其他的方法来进行翻译，从而达到叠词的意蕴。

1.1形音义结合

关于对题目匆匆一词，两位大家的翻译不尽相同，张选择“transient”，意为“暂短，转瞬即逝”，与文中主题“匆匆”意义相符，即时间在不知不觉中就流逝了，但是并未在形式上与原文

翻硕复习资料中国现代散文汉译英 许多院校在考试的试卷上都喜欢出一些中国比较经典的现在范文片段，然后让学生进行汉译英的翻译，所以凯程老师整理了经典的现代散文翻译供大家参考，同时在文章后面对于个别字词进行了解析，帮助同学们弄懂文章的意思。 祖父和灯火管制(1) 冰心 一九一一年秋，我们从山东烟台回到福州老家去。在还乡的路上，母亲和父亲一再嘱咐我(2)，“回到福州住在大家庭里，不能再像野孩子(3)似的，一切都要小心。对长辈们不能没大没小的。祖父是一家之主，尤其要尊敬……” 到了福州，在大家庭里住了下来，我觉得我在归途中的担心是多余的。祖父、伯父母、叔父母(4)和堂姐妹兄弟(5)，都没有把我当作野孩子，大家也都很亲昵平等，并没有什么“规矩”。我还觉得我们这个大家庭是几个小家庭的很松散的组合(6)。每个小家庭都是各住各个的，各吃各的，各自有自己的亲戚朋友，比如说，我们就各自有自己的“外婆家(7)”! 就在这一年，也许是第二年吧，福州有了电灯公司。我们这所大房子里也安上了电灯，这在福州也是一件新鲜事，我们这班孩子跟着安装的工人们满房子跑，非常地兴奋欢喜!我记得这电灯是从房顶上吊下来的，每间屋子都有一盏，厅堂上和客室里的五十支光，卧房里的光小一些，厨房里的就更小了。我们这所大房子里至少也五六十盏灯，第一夜亮起来时，真是灯火辉煌，我们孩子们都拍手欢呼! 但是总电门是安在祖父的屋里的。祖父起得很早也睡得很早(8)，每晚九点钟就上床了。他上床之前，就把电闸关上，于是整个大家庭就是黑沉沉的一片! 我们刚回老家(9)，父母亲和他们的兄弟妯娌(10)都有许多别情要叙，我们一班弟兄姐妹，也在一起玩得正起劲(11)，都很少在晚九点以前睡的。为了防备(12)这骤然的黑暗，于是每晚在九点以前，每个小家庭都在一两间屋里，点上一盏捻得很暗的煤油灯。一到九点，电灯一下子都灭了，这几盏煤油灯便都捻亮了，大家相视而笑，又都在灯下谈笑玩耍。 只有在这个时候，我才体会到我们这个大家庭是一个整体，而祖父是一家之主! Grandpa and Nightly Blackout Bing Xin In the autumn of 1911, we returned from Yantai of Shandong Province to our native place Fuzhou. While on the way, my parents warned me again and again, “Since we’ll be living in a big family in Fuzhou, remember always to behave properly and never act like a naughty child. Show respect for your elders, particularly your grandpa, who is head of the family…” After settling down in the big family in Fuzhou, however, I found that my previous worries on the way turned out to be unfounded. My grandpa, uncles, aunties and cousins never thought me a naughty child. We treated each other lovingly and equally. There never existed anything like “family rules of good behaviour”. I also found that the big family was a loose community of several smaller ones, which lived and ate separately. They each had their own relatives and friends, for example, their own

这篇短文-被世界上所有的语言翻译过(绝对经典!)

这篇短文，被世界上所有的语言翻译过（绝对经典！） 《把信带给加西亚》是戴尔·卡内基书中收集的故事。这篇短文的作者是ElbertHubbard，最早发表于1899年。目前这篇文章已几乎被世界上所有的语言翻译过，印制了亿万份，这对历史上的任何作者来说都是破纪录的。 纽约中央火车站曾将该文印刷了150万份分发出去。日俄战争期间，每一名俄国士兵都带着这篇文章，日军从俄军俘虏那里发现了它，如获至宝，在日本天皇的命令下，日本的每一名军人、公务员、老百姓都拥有这篇文章。 现在，它已经成为了任何管理学或者成功学不可或缺的经典，被一代代人所广为传诵。这篇关于责任心和工作态度的文章告诉我们，在人生中，财富也好、家庭生活也好、工作也好，其实都该用心去经营，特别是主动性、创造性地去经营，而不是等靠要，不是寻找任何的借口与理由。 《把信带给加西亚》 在一切有关古巴的事物中，有一个人最让我忘不了。当美西战争爆发后，美国必须立即与西班牙的反抗军首领取得联系。加西亚在古巴山区的丛林里——没有人知道确切的地点，所以无法写信或打电话给他。美国总统必须尽快地获得他的合作。 怎么办呢？有人对总统说，“有一个名叫罗文的人，有办法

找到加西亚，也只有他才找得到。”他们把罗文找来，交给他一封给加西亚的信。关于那个名叫罗文的人，如何拿了信，把它装进一个油布制的袋里，封好，吊在胸口，划一艘小船、四天之后的一个夜里在古巴上岸，消逝于丛林中，接着在三个星期之后从古巴岛的那一边出来，已徒步走过一个危机四伏的国家，把那封信交给了加西亚——这些细节都不是我想说明的。 我要强调的重点是：麦金利总统把一封写给加西亚的信交给了罗文；而罗文接过信之后，并没有问：“他在什么地方？”像他这种人，我们应该为他塑造不朽的雕像，放在每一所学校里。年轻人所需要的不只是学习书本上的知识，也不仅是聆听他人种种的指导，而是要加强一种敬业精神，对于上级的托付，立即采取行动，全心全意去完成任务——“把信带给加西亚”。 加西亚将军已不在人间，但现在还有其他的加西亚。但是现在，我们知道一些年轻人对工作任务无法或不愿专心去做，懒懒散散，漠不关心，马马虎虎。 不信的话，我们来做个实验：你此刻坐在办公室里，对一名员工说：“请帮我查一查百科全书，把哥里奇的生平做成一篇摘录。”我敢说那位职员不会静静地说：“好的，先生”，然后就去执行。 他反而会满脸狐疑地提出一个或数个问题：他是谁？哪套百

The cat was very old; she could not run quickly, and she could not bite, because she was so old. One day the old cat saw a mouse; she jumped and caught the mouse. But she could not bite it; so the mouse got out of her mouth and ran away, because the cat could not bite it.? Then the old woman became very angry because the cat had not killed the mouse. She began to hit the cat. The cat said, "Do not hit your old servant. I have worked for you for many years, and I would work for you still, but I am too old. Do not be unkind to the old, but remember what good work the old did when they were young."? 一位老妇有只猫，这只猫很老，它跑不快了，也咬不了东西，因为它年纪太大了。一天，老猫发现一只老鼠，它跳过去抓这只老鼠，然而，它咬不住这只老鼠。因此，老鼠从它的嘴边溜掉了，因为老猫咬不了它。? 于是，老妇很生气，因为老猫没有把老鼠咬死。她开始打这只猫，猫说：“不要打你的老仆人，我已经为你服务了很多年，而且还愿意为你效劳，但是，我实在太老了，对年纪大的不

经典英文美文 >01 The Language of Music A painter hangs his or her finished picture on a wall, and everyone can see it. A composer writes a work, but no one can hear it until it is performed. Professional singers and players have great responsibilities, for the composer is utterly dependent on them. A student of music needs as long and as arduous a training to become a performer as a medical student needs to become a doctor. Most training is concerned with technique, for musicians have to have the muscular proficiency of an athlete or a ballet dancer. Singers practice breathing every day, as their vocal chords would be inadequate without controlled muscular support. String players practice moving the fingers of the left hand up and down, while drawing the bow to and fro with the right arm -- two entirely different movements. Singers and instrumentalists have to be able to get every note perfectly in tune. Pianists are spared this particular anxiety, for the notes are already there, waiting for them, and it is the piano tuner's responsibility to tune the instrument for them. But they have their own difficulties: the hammers that hit the strings have to be coaxed not to sound like percussion, and each overlapping tone has to sound clear. This problem of getting clear texture is one that confronts student conductors: they have to learn to know every note of the music and how it should sound, and they have to aim at controlling these sounds with fanatical but selfless authority. Technique is of no use unless it is combined with musical knowledge and understanding. Great artists are those who are so thoroughly at home in the language of music that they can enjoy performing works written in any century. 01 音乐的语言 画家将已完成的作品挂在墙上，每个人都可以观赏到。作曲家写完了一部作品，得由 演奏者将其演奏出来，其他人才能得以欣赏。因为作曲家是如此完全地依赖于职业歌手和职业演奏者，所以职业歌手和职业演奏者肩上的担子可谓不轻。 一名学音乐的学生要想成为一名演奏者，需要经受长期的、严格的训练，就象一名医科的学生要成为一名医生一样。绝大多数的训练是技巧性的。 音乐家们控制肌肉的熟练程度，必须达到与运动员或巴蕾舞演员相当的水平。歌手们每天都练习吊嗓子，因为如果不能有效地控制肌肉的话，他们的声 带将不能满足演唱的要求。弦乐器的演奏者练习的则是在左手的手指上下滑动的同时，用 右手前后拉动琴弓--两个截然不同的动作。歌手和乐器演奏者必须使所有的音符完全相同协调。钢琴家们则不用操这份心，因为每个音符都已在那里等待着他们了。 给钢琴调音是调音师的职责。但调音师们也有他们的难处：他们必须耐心地调理敲击琴弦的音锤，不能让

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

英汉对比与翻译期末论文 (2)

英汉对比与翻译——词汇三境 [摘要]：本文将英汉语言中词语分布做了对比，并就词汇翻译提出了“意译”、“义译”、“化境”三个要求，从而得知，词汇翻译的地道性很大程度上取决于语境的还原程度。 关键词: 译意、译义、臻化、词汇、语境 正文：英国语言学家George W.W ilk ins在《语言教学中的语言学》一书中指出:“没有语法,表达甚微;没有词汇,表达为零。”由此可见词汇在英语中所居的重要地位。在翻译时，即使一个译者已经掌握了大量的词汇与句法，还是会遇到总不能够突破的瓶颈，这个障碍往往是由词汇，甚至是简单词汇所引起的。例如：“He is a perfect stranger in the city.”这里对于什么是一个“perfect stranger”的理解与处理会造成译文层次的不同，同时也是考量一个译者的水平。如果仅翻译字面意思,翻译成“完美的陌生人”，译文显得晦涩难懂；当我们进一步理解“perfect”这个词的含义，并进入意义层面, “perfect”就是“完完全全”的意思，那么“perfect stranger”该译为“完完全全的陌生人”，“他是这城市中完完全全的陌生人”意思准确但是和全句契合不够完美，同“in the city”在搭配上略有滞涩；所以，我们将其转化，将“完完全全的陌生人”这一名词词组转化为动词词组，意为“对……完全陌生”，这句话就可译为“他对这城市完全陌生”，这样的搭配显得协调，不但译出了源语言想表达的意思，“疏离”这一

语境也得以完整地保留了。 以上例子就体现了英汉互译中一个很重要的规律，即词性转换。世界上的语言，不管其各有多少词类，名词和动词都占最大的比例；不管有多少句型，都能归纳为静态与动态两类。总的来说，汉语呈动态特征，英文呈静态特征。在词汇的使用上，汉语的动态表现为：汉语的动词丰富，使用频率高；而英语中，名词、介词等非动词性此类的使用频率很高。据周志培（2003:390）统计显示截选如下：（1）“邓小平在武昌、深圳、珠海、上海等地的谈话要点”及英译 语言总 数名 词 介 词 动 词 助 动 非限 定动 词 代 词 形容 词 副 词 数 词 连 词 量 词 冠 词 汉语词数636 167 11 186 27 41 70 70 39 17 8 % 26% 2% 29% 4% 7% 11% 11% 6% 3% 1% 英语词数907 238 99 105 19 30 98 104 43 28 5 84 % 26% 11% 12% 2% 3% 11% 11% 5% 3% 7% 9% （2）“英国首相撒切尔夫人在中国欢迎宴会上的讲话”及汉译文 语言总 数名词介词动词助动非限定 动词 代词形容 词 副词数 词 连词量词冠 词 汉语词数324 99 9 72 5 36 22 42 15 13 2 % 31% 3% 22% 2% 11% 7% 13% 4% 4% 0.6% 英语词数366 91 49 41 1 9 39 50 22 13 23 28 % 25% 14% 11% 0.2% 2% 10% 14% 6% 4% 6% 8% 上述结果表明，若要在英汉互译中，若要翻译出地道的T arget Text，就应当尽量符合Target Language的表达习惯。这必然包含必 要的词性转换。在进行英译汉时，根据需要将英文中的名词，介词等
