海地大地震发生已经半个月,大规模的搜救工作告一段落。海地地震救灾和灾后重建国际会议的召开,下一步国际社会工作重点将转向灾后重建。

与其它国家和地区遭受的自然灾害相比,海地大地震具有两个方面的特殊性:一是地震破坏性大、受灾面广。大地震不仅造成20余万人死亡,受灾民众达到全国三分之一,而且整个国家几乎处于瘫痪状态;二是海地自身基础薄、承受力弱。海地是西半球最贫穷国家之一,长期以来依靠国际援助为生,国内稳定长期依靠联合国维持。因此灾后重建艰巨,面临三方面难题。

此次海地地震为7级,截至1月25日已造成20余万人死亡,是中国汶川地震死亡人数的两倍多,每百人就有三人死亡,这还不包括目前无法统计的大量受伤者。

海地独立二百多年来,经历了32次政变。1990年海地产生了首届民选政府,但并没有结束国内政治社会动荡局面,2004年再度发生军事政变。由于海地政府十分脆弱,国内冲突不断,不得不从1993年开始就依靠联合国部队来维持稳定。

此次地震导致海地政府一度陷入瘫痪,出现权力真空,社会秩序混乱。海地总统被迫邀请美国派军帮助维持社会治安。因此,震后需重建的不仅是经济体系,还有整个政治架构和社会秩序。

再造一个新海地需要大量资金,资金从哪里来?海地是西半球最贫穷的国家之一,75%的人生活在赤贫状态下,失业率高达7成半,成人文盲率达47%。因此,灾后重建最突出的就是资金问题。

多米尼加共和国总统费尔南德斯在为海地救援和重建的多国峰会上表示,海地重建每年需要20亿美元,最少要5年才能完成,意味着需要的资金将高达100亿美元。而目前为止,国际社会承诺的援助资金不到5亿美元。

灾后重建一个无法回避的话题就是谁来主导?按常理来说,海地灾后重建自然由海地政府来主导,但海地长期处于赤贫状态,政治上动荡不定,国家几乎陷入全面瘫痪,海地政府有心无力。

海地长期被美国看作是自家的后院,在地震发生后,奥巴马不仅在第一时间承诺将捐助1亿美元,还派出两位前总统克林顿和布什前往海地了解情况。美国在海地地震后所表现出来的慷慨和积极是在之前任何一次灾难或危机中所没有看到过的。很显然,美国希望通过领衔海地救灾达到主导海地灾后重建的目的。

但美国的举动遭到了不少国家的质疑。联合国长期派驻维和部队协助海地维持秩序,而维和

部队的主要力量是南美最大国家巴西。因此,巴西对美国企图利用地震,乘机加大对海地的控制表示不满。巴西政府公开宣称不会放弃联合国驻海地部队的指挥权。

海地历史上曾经是法国的殖民地。法国从1697年至1804年统治海地,现在不甘心美国一手主导海地地重建。因此,法国媒体对美国力图主导灾后救援进行毫不留情的批评,法国外交国务秘书抨击说:―现在是在救助海地,而不是在占领海地。‖

委内瑞拉总统查韦斯和尼加拉瓜总统奥尔特加也对美国的动机表示怀疑,称―有人正在利用一场悲剧来让美**队驻扎在海地‖。

因此,海地重建虽然是个经济问题,但摆脱不了政治因素。各国应该在联合国等国际组织统一领导和协调下,帮助海地搞好灾后重建和发展规划,而不应以―救援外交‖为名,争夺灾后重建主导权,借机扩大政治影响力

It was supposed to be the moment Europe grew muscles. Last fall, after a decade of work to simplify policymaking and make the European Union more efficient at home and stronger abroad, the last few holdouts signed a 1,000-page document known as the Lisbon Treaty. In November, the E.U.'s first real President and Foreign Minister were chosen. Europhiles dusted off their familiar dream: of a newly emboldened world power stepping up to calm trouble spots, using aid and persuasion where it could, but prepared to send in troops when it had to. Brussels would lead the fight against climate change. And Europe's economies would prove to the ruthless free markets of North America and Asia that the social market still offers the best way out of an economic crunch.

The dream didn't last a month. At the climate change conference in Copenhagen in December, it was China and the U.S. who haggled over a final deal, while Europe sat on the sidelines. Instead of a foreign policy triumph, 2010 began with an unseemly squabble over whether or not to bail out Greece, whose debt has dragged down Europe's currency. At the same time, U.S. President Barack Obama announced he would be skipping an E.U.-U.S. confab in Spain in May, frustrated, it appeared, with the endless summitry that goes with accommodating the E.U. Little wonder that Europe finds itself in one of its periodic bouts of angst-ridden self-doubt. And little wonder that the rest of the world is asking questions: What does Europe stand for? Where does it fit into a world that seems set to be dominated by China and the U.S.? Would anyone notice if it disappeared?

Let's get one thing straight: Europe is a remarkably good place to live. Many of the E.U.'s member states are among the richest in the world. Workers in Europe usually enjoy long vacations, generous maternity leave and comfortable pension schemes. Universal health insurance is seen as part of the basic social contract. Europe is politically stable, the most

generous donor of development aid in the world. Sure, taxes can be high, but most Europeans seem happy to pay more to the state in return for a higher — and guaranteed — quality of life. "The E.U. offers an attractive social, economic and political model," Charles Grant, director of the London-based think tank Centre for European Reform, argued last year. "It is more stable, safe, green and culturally diverse than most parts of the world, which is why neighbors want to join and many migrants aim for Europe."

But the good life at home doesn't make Europe strong abroad. The E.U. may have all the soft-power credentials in the world, but on the grand stage it has lacked the weight and influence of others. At times, it simply seems unable to say what it thinks. Washington and Beijing may squabble from time to time, but the U.S. has a reasonably well-articulated China policy: engage economically, encourage democratically, and criticize on human rights when appropriate. What's the E.U.'s China policy in a few words?

The E.U. underwhelms on other big issues. "When it comes to pressing international problems like Afghanistan, Pakistan or North Korea, the E.U. is either largely invisible or absent," wrote Grant in his essay, provocatively titled "Is Europe Doomed to Fail as a Power?" Lucio Caracciolo, editor of Limes, one of Italy's leading foreign policy magazines, says the problem is a Cold War hangover. The post-World War II period was a golden age for Western Europe, a time of reconstruction under the U.S. security umbrella, he argues. When it ended, Europe went into shock. "We're in denial," Caracciolo says. "We see that the Americans are not interested — to put it mildly — in our interests, and we put our head in the sand." Europe "happily decides," Caracciolo says, that Afghanistan, Iran, are American affairs. "Any major crisis is something that is analyzed abroad. We are not up to the responsibilities of the time."

The Lisbon Treaty, establishing the new offices of the President of the European Council and the High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, was supposed to change all that. In practice, however, the new E.U. will be run by a complex mechanism with four axes: the President and Foreign Minister; the country holding the rotating presidency; the President of the European Commission and national heads of state and government. The new setup looks like a parody of all that is wrong with the E.U., bureaucratic and complicated, built on least-bad options and seemingly designed to encourage turf wars rather than action.

(从中挖点某些词,要求补充完整)

How Safe Are Your Dollars?

Chinese officials and private investors around the world have been worrying aloud about whether their dollar investments are safe. Since the Chinese government holds a large part of its $2 trillion of foreign exchange in dollars, they have good reason to focus on the future value of the greenback. And investors with smaller dollar holdings, who can shift to other currencies much more easily than the Chinese, are right to ask themselves whether they should be diversifying into non-dollar assets – or even shunning the dollar completely.

The fear about the dollar’s future is driven by several different but related concerns. Will the value of the dollar continue its long-term downward trend relative to other currencies? Will the enormous rise of United States government debt that is projected for the coming decade and beyond lead to inflation or even to default? Will the explosive growth of commercial banks’ excess reserves cause rapid inflation as the economy recovers?

But, while there is much to worry about, the bottom line is that these fears are exaggerated. Let’s start with the most likely of the negative developments: a falling exchange rate relative to other currencies. Even after the dollar’s recent rally relative to the euro, the trade-weighted value of the dollar is now 15% lower against a broad basket of major currencies than it was a decade ago, and 30% lower than it was 25 years ago.

Although occasional bouts of nervousness in global financial markets cause the dollar to rise, I expect that the dollar will continue to fall relative to the euro, the Japanese yen, and even the Chinese yuan. That decline in the dollar exchange rate is necessary to shrink the very large trade deficit that the US has with the rest of the world.

Consider what a decline of the dollar relative to the yuan would mean for the Chinese. If the Chinese now hold $1 trillion in their official portfolios, a 10% rise in the yuan-dollar exchange rate would lower the yuan value of those holdings by 10%. That is a big accounting loss, but it doesn’t change the value of the American goods or property investments in the US that the Chinese could buy with their trillion dollars.

The Chinese (or Saudis or Indians or others outside the euro zone) should, of course, be concerned about the dollar’s decline relative to the euro. After all, when that decline resumes, their dollar holdings will buy less in European markets. While it is hard to say how much the decline might be, it would not be surprising to see a fall of 20% over the next several years from the current level of about 1.4 dollars per euro.

But the big risk to any investor is the possibility that inflation will virtually annihilate a currency’s value. That happened in a number of countries in the 1970’s and 1980’s. In Mexico, for example, it took 150 pesos in 1990 to buy what one peso could buy in 1980.

That is not going to happen in the US. Large budget deficits have led to high inflation in

countries that are forced to create money to finance those deficits because they cannot sell longer-term government bonds. That is not a risk for the US. The rate of inflation actually fell in the US during the early 1980’s, when the US last experienced large fiscal deficits.

Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke and his colleagues are determined to keep inflation low as the economy recovers. The Fed has explained that it will sell the large volume of mortgage securities that it now holds on its balance sheet, absorbing liquidity in the process. It will also use its new authority to pay interest on the reserves held by commercial banks at the Fed in order to prevent excessive lending. This is, of course, a formidable task that may have to be accomplished at a time when Congress opposes monetary tightening.

Looking forward, investors can protect themselves against inflation in the US by buying Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), which index interest and principal payments to offset the rise in the consumer price level. The current small difference between the real interest rate on such bonds (2.1% for 30-year bonds) and the nominal interest rate on conventional 30-year Treasury bonds (now 4.6%) implies that the market expects only about 2.5% inflation over the next three decades.

So the good news is that dollar investments are safe. But safe doesn’t mean the investment with the highest safe return. If the dollar is likely to fall against the euro over the next several years, investments in euro-denominated bonds issued by the German or French governments may provide higher safe returns. Even if the dollar is perfectly safe, investors are well advised to diversify their portfolios.

Text1 Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not ch In but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth said in the 19th century. the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation. So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. 习惯是件有趣的事情。我们无意识间养成了一些习惯,我们的大脑是自动运 转的,轻松进入熟知套路所带来的不自觉舒适状态。“这并非选择,而是习惯控 制了那些没有思想的人”,这是威廉?华兹华斯(William Wordsworth)19世纪时 说的话。在现在这个日新月异的21世纪,甚至习惯这个词本身也带有负面涵义。 因此,在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯,似乎显得有点矛盾。 But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. But don’t bother trying to kil off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deliberately ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. 但大脑研究人员发现,当我们有意识地培养新的习惯的时候,我们创建了平 行路径,甚至是全新的脑细胞,可以让我们的思路跳转到新的创新轨道上来。但 是,不必费心试图摈弃各种旧习惯;一旦这些程序惯例融进大脑,它们就会留在 那里。相反,我们刻意培养的新习惯会创建平行路径能避开原来那些老路。 “The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says D Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as decide is to kill off president calls himself ‘the Decider.’” She adds, however, that “to all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.” 大学英语

2010 年全国硕士研究生入学统一考试英语(二)试题答案与解析 Section I Use of English 一、文章题材结构分析 本文是取材于新闻报道,叙述了猪流感的爆发,产生的严重影响以及政府采取的针对性措施。首段和第二段简 述了猪流感的爆发引起世界各国的重视。第三段引用专家的观点,认为瘟疫并不严重。第四段和第五段以墨西哥及 美国的情况为例,说明了猪流感的严重性和致命性。第六段叙述了联邦政府针对猪流感的具体措施。 二、试题解析 1.【答案】D 【解析】上文提到“…was declared a global epidemic…”,根据declare 的逻辑(“宣布为”),可知应该选D 项 designated“命名,制定”,而不是C 项commented“评论”,这是典型的近义词复现题目。2.【答案】C 【解析】本题目可依据“句意”找到意思线索,选出答案,难度在于出处句是个长难句。本句的理解应该抓住alert、 meeting 和a sharp rise 三者的关系,根据after a sharp rise 可知是rise(“病例数的增加”)是meeting(“日内瓦专家 会议”)的原因,由此可推导出alert 并非是meeting 的原因,而是结果,即meeting 使得alert 升级。根据上述分析 可以排除B、D 选项,B 项activated“激活,激起”,D 项“促使,引起”,此两项的选择都在讲alert 导致了meeting 的召开。而C 项followed 意思是“紧随,跟在……之后”,体现出after 的逻辑,完全满足本句rise 之后是meeting, meeting 之后是alert 的逻辑,所以是正确项。而A 项proceeded“继续”,属不及物动词,不可接宾语,用法和逻辑 用在此处都不合适。 3.【答案】B 【解析】本题目应该关注并列连词and,从并列呼应来看:空格后的表达in Britain…对应前面的in Australia, 所以空格处rising _____ 应该对应a sharp rise in cases(“病例数的剧增”),因此空格处是“数量”的逻辑才对。A 项 digits“(阿拉伯)数字”,不表示数量,不能与rising 形成搭配;C 项amounts“数量”,常修饰不可数名词(此处指 的是cases,可数名词);D 项sums“金额,款项”,不能用于表达“病例数”。B 项numbers “数量”,修饰可数名词(如: large numbers of cases 大量的病例),符合题意。 4.【答案】A 【解析】此处句子开头的“But”是重要的逻辑线索,与上文意思(第二段)形成对比反差。上文的关键性表达 如“heightened alert”、“emergency meeting”和“a sharp rise in cases”都在讲述猪流感的严重性,所以根据But 和in

05 It is not easy to talk about the role of the mass media in this overwhelmingly significant phase in European history. History and news become confused, and one's impressions tend to be a mixture of skepticism and optimism. (46)Television is one of the means by which these feelings are created and conveyed-and perhaps never before has it served to much to connect different peoples and nations as is the recent events in Europe .The Europe that is now forming cannot be anything other than its peoples, their cultures and national identities. With this in mind we can begin to analyze the European television scene. (47) In Europe, as elsewhere multi-media groups have been increasingly successful groups which bring together television, radio newspapers, magazines and publishing houses that work in relation to one another. One Italian example would be the Berlusconi group while abroad Maxwell and Murdoch come to mind. Clearly, only the biggest and most flexible television companies are going to be able to compete complete in such a rich and hotly-contested market. (48) This alone demonstrates that the television business is not an easy world to survive in a fact underlined by statistics that show that out of eighty European television networks no less than 50% took a loss in 1989. Moreover, the integration of the European community will oblige television companies to cooperate more closely in terms of both production and distribution. (49) Creating a "European identity" that respects the different cultures and traditions which go to make up the connecting fabric of the Old continent is no easy task and demands a strategic choice - that of producing programs in Europe for Europe. This entails reducing our dependence on the North American market, whose programs relate to experiences and cultural traditions which are different from our own. In order to achieve these objectives, we must concentrate more on co-productions, the exchange of news, documentary services and training. This also involves the agreements between European countries for the creation of a European bank will handle the finances necessary for production costs. (50) In dealing with a challenge on such a scale, it is no exaggeration to say "Unity we stand, divided we fall" -and if I had to choose a slogan it would be "Unity in our diversity." A unity of objectives that nonetheless respect the varied peculiarities of each country.

Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm. A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour. “I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.” Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children. “There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.” Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter. 1. How many homes altogether (总共) were damaged in the storm? A. Fourteen B. Twenty-one C. Twenty-nine D. Thirty-six 选D。根据第一段出现的三个数字14,7,15即可知D为正确答案。 2. Where was Mr. Tan when the storm first began? A. He was in bed. B. He was inside the house. C. He was outside the house. D. He was on the roof. 选B。根据“I was eating with my wife and children.”可排除A和D,由下文可知C也不合题意。 3. Mrs. Woo and her family didn’t get hurt because _________. A. her husband knew there would be a storm B. they were all outside the house when the storm became worse C. she felt the house was moving

2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析

2015年考研英语一翻译真题解析 一、来源:今年的文章来源于An outline of American history(1954)(《美国历史纲要(1954年英文版)》),是其中一章The Colonial Period(殖民时期)的节选。这个符合历年来翻译的考查规律,往往都是从书籍中节选段落进行翻译,内容相对于阅读而言,相对于2014年“贝多芬”而言,有些难懂。 二、难度:5句话共151词,相当平稳。其中48题最长,35词;50题最简单,24词。可以说,不同基础的同学都可以从中找到自己熟悉的部分,不至于在这个题上一分未得。 三、句型特点:今年的5句话中,有2句(46,48)是简单句,另外3句(47,49,50)是复合句。其中的复合句无一例外都考查的是定语从句的翻译,并没有涉及到其他从句类型。简单句中考查最多的也是后置定语的翻译。所以,中公考研考前为大家预测的难点中,定语的翻译是绝对考点和重点。 四、逐题详解: 46) This movement, driven by powerful and diverse motivations, built a nation out of a wilderness and, by its nature, shaped the character and destiny of an uncharted continent. 重点词组:out of a wilderness(摆脱荒凉),by its nature(就其本质而言,从本质来说),uncharted(未知的;图上未标明的)。 结构分析:整个句子是一个简单句,由and并列谓语动词built和shaped。driven by powerful and diverse motivations是后置定语,修饰movement;out of a wilderness是后置定语,修饰nation;of an uncharted continent是后置定语,修饰character and destiny。 参考译文:这项运动,由多种强大的动机驱动,建立了一个摆脱荒凉的国家,并且从本质上来讲,塑造了一块不为人熟悉的大陆的性格和命运。 47) The United States is the product of two principal forces—the immigration of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics and the impact of a new country which modified these traits. 重点词组:product(产物),principal(主要的;首要的),peoples(民族),impact(影响) 结构分析:句子的主干是The United States is the product of two principal forces,破折号解释说明forces。of European peoples with their varied ideas, customs, and national characteristics是后置定语,修饰immigration;of a new country which modified these traits是后置定语,修饰impact,其中包含一个定语从句which modified these traits,修饰country。 参考译文:美国是两股主要力量的产物——带有不同思想、风俗习惯和国家特征的欧洲民族的移民,和修改这些特征的新兴国家的影响。 48) But the force of geographic conditions peculiar to America, the interplay of the carried national groups upon one another, and the sheer difficulty of maintaining old-world ways in a raw, new continent caused significant changes. 重点词组:peculiar(特有的,独特的),interplay(互相影响),sheer(独特的) 结构分析:整个句子是简单句,主语由三个名词短语用and并列承担,谓宾部分比较短小caused significant changes。主语1中,of geographic conditions peculiar to America是后置

德国的翻译功能主义学派

德国的翻译功能主义学派 马梦琪 一、功能派翻译理论 如果我们谈论当代德国的翻译学派,特别是自70年代以来德国最具影响的翻译学派,首先想到的一定是翻译的功能学派,也就是深具德国特色的翻译目的派。这是20世界70年代末发展起来的一个学派,功能主义学派认为,翻译是一种有目的行为,单靠语言学不能解决翻译的所有问题。翻译目的决定翻译实践中采用的翻译策略和方法,译者应优先考虑的是文本的功能和译文所要达到的功能预期。翻译功能学派代表人物有赖斯、汉斯·威密尔等。 二、功能派翻译理论提出的背景 从20世纪50年代起,西方翻译理论基本上是与语言学同步发展的。翻译理论家倾向于从语言学角度来看待翻译。在六七十年代盛行的是尤金?奈达(EugeneA.Nida)的对等理论。1964年奈达提出了翻译过程三阶段的模式:分析、转换和重组。他还详尽地论述了自己提出的与形式对等相对立的“动态对等”概念,指出:“动态对等是指译文中的信息接受者对译文的反应应该与原文接受者对原文信息的反映基本相同。”虽然在80年代奈达又修正了“动态对等”论并提出了“功能对等”概念,以达到内容与形式的兼顾,但是奈达在解释翻译的性质时说:“翻译是在译入语中用最切近、最自然的对等语再现原语的信息,首先是语义上的对等,其次是风格上的对等。可见,尽管奈达主张内容第一,形式第二,并把这种翻译方法叫做社会语言学方法,却依然是把翻译圈定在语言层次的范围之内,而没有认识到翻译的本质不仅是纯语

言方面的转换,而是建立在语言形式上的不同文化间的交流。然而,20世纪60-70年代的语言学理论一统天下,欧洲翻译理论界并没有充分重视上述问题的解决。随着翻译实践和研究的发展,语言学派也逐渐意识到其内在的弱点。出于对这种纯语言学翻译理论的不满,70年代西方已经出现了面向译语文化的翻译研究趋向,打破了以前文本中心论的翻译研究传统,使译者更多地关注译文和译文读者,更多地关注译文的社会效应和交际功能。以新的视角重新审视翻译活动,德国功能派翻译理论摆脱了当时盛行的对等翻译理论的束缚,拓宽了翻译理论研究的领域,赋予了翻译更多的涵义。 三、功能主义翻译理论发展的四个阶段 功能派翻译理论是20世纪70年代德国学者凯瑟林娜?赖斯(KantharinaReiss)、汉斯·威密尔(HansVermeer)、贾斯塔?赫兹?曼塔利(JustaHolzMantari)和克里斯蒂安?诺德(ChristianeNord)等提出的翻译理论。它的形成大体经历了四个阶段,其颇具里程碑意义的理论是赖斯的功能主义翻译批评理论(functionalcategoryoftranslationcriticism),汉斯·威密尔的目的论及其延伸理论(Skopostheorieandbeyond),曼塔利的翻译行为理论(theoryoftranslationaction)和诺德的功能加忠诚理论(functionplusloyalty)。 第一阶段:凯瑟林娜.赖斯(KatharinaReiss,1923-),毕业于海德尔博格大学翻译学院。在她1971年出版的论着《翻译批评的可能性与限制—翻译质量评价的类型及标准》中首次提出了功能派理论思想,把“功能类型”这个概念引入翻译理论,并将文本功能列为翻译批评的一个标准。她提出翻译应有具体的翻译要求(translationbrief)和基于原语和译语功能关系的功能批评

Text1 Habits are a funny thing. We reach for them mindlessly, setting our brains on auto-pilot and relaxing into the unconscious comfort of familiar routine. “Not choice, but habit rules the unreflecting herd,” William Wordsworth sai d in the 19th century. In the ever-changing 21st century, even the word “habit” carries a negative connotation. So it seems antithetical to talk about habits in the same context as creativity and innovation. 习惯是件有趣的事情。我们无意识间养成了一些习惯,我们的大脑是自动运转的,轻松进入熟知套路所带来的不自觉舒适状态。“这并非选择,而是习惯控制了那些没有思想的人”,这是威廉?华兹华斯(William Wordsworth)19世纪时说的话。在现在这个日新月异的21世纪,甚至习惯这个词本身也带有负面涵义。因此,在创造和革新的背景下来谈论习惯,似乎显得有点矛盾。 But brain researchers have discovered that when we consciously develop new habits, we create parallel synaptic paths, and even entirely new brain cells, that can jump our trains of thought onto new, innovative tracks. But don’t bother trying to kill off old habits; once those ruts of procedure are worn into the hippocampus, they’re there to stay. Instead, the new habits we deli berately ingrain into ourselves create parallel pathways that can bypass those old roads. 但大脑研究人员发现,当我们有意识地培养新的习惯的时候,我们创建了平行路径,甚至是全新的脑细胞,可以让我们的思路跳转到新的创新轨道上来。但是,不必费心试图摈弃各种旧习惯;一旦这些程序惯例融进大脑,它们就会留在那里。相反,我们刻意培养的新习惯会创建平行路径能避开原来那些老路。 “The first thing needed for innovation is a fascination with wonder,” says Dawna Markova, author of “The Open Mind” and an executive change consultant for Professional Thinking Partners. “But we are taught instead to ‘decide,’ just as our president calls himself ‘the Decider.’ ” She a dds, however, that “to decide is to kill off all possibilities but one. A good innovational thinker is always exploring the many other possibilities.”

《哈克贝利·费恩历险记》文体翻译的功能主义分析

摘要:文体学的语言学派认为:文体即变异。本文以功能主义目的(Skopostheorie)为理论框架,对世界名著the Adventures of Huckleberry Finn的两个中译本的文体进行分析和比较,发现由于译者所处时代不同,翻译目的各异,在文体的传译上采用了不同的策略和方法。本文的结论是:在文体翻译方面应打破固有的对等观念,代之以译文是否满足特定翻译目的作为评判文体翻译好坏的标准,允许和鼓励不同风格类型译本的存在。 关键词:变异;功能主义;翻译目的;等值;合适翻译 一﹑《哈克贝利·芬历险记》的文体 《哈克贝利·芬历险记》是美国19世纪杰出作家马克·吐温的现实主义代表作。小说伟大之处在于作者大胆运用了大量美国下层人民的日常用语、俚语、方言土话,包括黑人英语。作为现实主义的先驱者,马克·吐温这一开创性文风至今还深深影响着美国文学的创作。美国作家海明威(Earnest Hemingway)称赞说:“所有的现代美国文学源于马克·吐温的一本叫《哈克贝利·芬历险记》的小说?这是我所拥有的最棒的书”[1] 。英国著名诗人艾略特(E.T.Eliot)则评论说:“《哈克贝利·芬历险记》开一代文风,乃英语的一项新的发现”[2]。说到《哈克贝利·芬历险记》的文体,首先要明确的是文体的定义。事实上,文体的概念可以从多种角度加以阐发:它既可指一个时代所流行的风格,比如19 世纪的“现实主义”,也可以指一个作家的独特风格,譬如“莎士比亚风格”。利奇(G. Leech)和索特(M. Short)在其合著的《英语诗歌的语言学指导》(A linguistic Guide to English Poetry,1969)一书中则从语言学的角度把文体定义为“对常规的变异”(deviation from norm),并列出语音变异、词汇变异、语法变异等八种变异类型[3]。秦秀白认为“常规”与“变异”是相比较而存在的两个概念,并指出:“如果我们把语音、词汇和语法等方面的规则看作是语言的常规,那么违背这些规则的表达方式就是变异”[4]。“人们既然认为RP(Received Pronunciation)是英国英语的标准发音,那么伦敦方言(Cockney)当然就是对常规的一种变异,…伦敦佬?的风格自然也体现在这种变异之中”[5]。由此可见,变异来自于违反语言常规,而文体则产生于变异之中。经过分析, 我们发现《哈克贝利·芬历险记》中大量出现的黑人英语(BEV)主要在语音、词汇以及语法三方面存在违反标准美国英语(SAE)通用规则的现象,从而构成三个层面的变异,即:语音变异、词汇变异和语法变异。这三大变异也是《哈克贝利·芬历险记》独特文体的重要组成部分。本文文体翻译实例分析将在这三个层面上展开。 二﹑功能主义目的论 功能主义目的论(Skopostheorie)由德国学者弗米尔(Hans J. Vermeer)等人创立。目的论主要体现为四大法则和一个标准。其中,最高的法则是“目的法则”。目的论认 为“决定任何翻译过程的首要原则是整个翻译行为的目的”(theprimeprincipledetermininganytranslationprocessisthe purpose (Skopos) of the overall translational action)[6]。翻译目的的具体化即翻译要求(translation brief),理论上由翻译的发起人(initiator)根据自身需要给出,但在实际操作中往往由发人和译者共同商定[7]。目的论第二法则是“语内连贯”(intratextual coherence)。所谓语内连贯是指译文不能造成读者理解上的困难, 并且必须在译入语文化以及使用译文的交际环境中具有意义[8]。目的论的第三法则是“语际连贯”。语际连贯指的是原文与译文之间的连贯性,或者互文性,有点类似传统的“忠实”(fidelity)或者“信”(faithfulness),但是不同的是,语际连贯不是独立的原则,而是受制于“语内连贯”以及“目的法则”。也就是说,译文忠实的程度和形式既不能影响读者的理解,又不能违背翻译行为的目的[ 9 ] 。目的论的第四法则是“忠诚法则”(loyalty)。作为补充性的法则,“忠诚”指的是译者必须有责任心,当好翻译各参与方的协调人。忠诚法则的提出是为了避免译文受翻译目的的盲目驱使而无限制背离原文[10]。此外,目的论还提出评价译文质量的标准应该是“合适翻译”(adequa cy)。合适是一个动态的概念,传统的“对等”
