四六级考试中句子翻译的常用技巧

英语和汉语是两种差异比较大的语言,英语重形合,汉语重意合。有人把英语句子比喻为“树木丛生、干枝纠缠的树林”,脉络难析,主次难辨,而把汉语句子比喻为“枝干分明的竹林”,脉络清晰,主次易辨。翻译时,根据表达习惯,英语、汉语的句子结构有时需要进行相应的转换。英汉语复合句中主句和从句之间的时间顺序和逻辑顺序也不完全一致,因此,翻译时,也时常需要根据表达习惯,对句序进行相应的调整。

现代翻译理论认为,句子是最重要的翻译单位。大学英语四级考试中的翻译题型也是以句子翻译为主。考生如果能够熟练掌握句子翻译的基本方法,那么对于处理四级考试中的句子翻译题必将是如虎添翼。本期着重介绍常用的句子翻译方法:正反、反正表达法,分句、合句法。

正反、反正表达法

由于民族文化和思维方式不同,英汉两种语言在表达同一概念时所采用的方式就有所不同。在表达否定概念时,英语和汉语使用的词汇、语法、语言逻辑就有很大的差异。汉语中有些词、短语或者句子是从反面表达的,而译成英语时则需要从正面进行表达,如例1、例2、例3。反之,汉语中有些从正面表达的词、短语或者句子,译成英语时需要从反面进行表达,如例4、例5、例6。此外,汉语还有一些特殊的句子结构,如双重否定(例7)、否定转移(例8)在译成英语时也需要引起我们的注意。

一、I.汉语从反面表达,译文从正面表达

例1:他提出的论据相当不充实。

译文:The argument he put forward is pretty thin. (词)

例2:我们确信,年轻一代将不会辜负我们的信任。

译文:We are confident that the younger generation will prove worthy of our trust. (短语)

例3:他七十岁了,可是并不显老。

译文:He was 70, but he carried his years lightly. (句子)

II.汉语从正面表达,译文从反面表达

例4:他这个人优柔寡断,而且总是反复无常。

译文:He was an indecisive sort of person and always capricious. (词)

例5:调查结果清清楚楚地显示病人死于心脏病。

译文:The investigation left no doubt that the patient had died of heart disease. (短语)

例6:这类举动迟早会被人发觉的。

译文:Such actions couldn’t long escape notice. (句子)

III.特殊的否定句式

例7:有利必有弊。

译文:There is not any advantage without disadvantage. (双重否定)

例8:我们在那个城市从未因为是犹太人而遭受歧视。

译文:In that city, we had never suffered discrimination because we were Jews. (否定转移)

二、分句、合句法

很多情况下,翻译句子的时候,需要调整原来的句子结构,分句法和合句法是调整原文句子的两种重要的方法。所谓分句法就是把原文的一个简单句译为两个或两个以上的句子。所谓合句法就是把原文两个或两个以上的简单句或一个复合句译成一个单句。

I.分句法

汉译英时,需要分译的句子多数是长句,或者是结构复杂的复句。这种句子如果译成一个长句,就会使译文冗长、累赘、意思表达不清楚,也不符合英文习惯。如果采用分译,则会使译文简洁、易懂、层次分明。如以下五个例子:

例1. 少年是一去不复返的,等到精力衰竭时,要做学问也来不及了。(按内容层次分译)

译文:Youth will soon be gone,never to return. And it will be too late for you to go into scholarship when in your declining years.

例2. 她隔窗望去,突然发现有只小船停泊在河边,船里有位船夫睡得正香。(从主语变换处分译)

译文:Looking through the window, she suddenly spotted a boat moored to the bank. In it there was a boatman fast asleep.

例3. 声速随温度的升降会有轻微的增减,但不受气压的影响。(从关联词处分译)

译文:The speed of sound increases slightly with a rise in temperature and falls with decrease in temperature. It is not affected by the pressure of the air.

例4. 我们的政策是实行“一个国家,两种制度”,具体说,就是在中华人民共和国内,有着十多亿人口的大陆实行社会主义制度,香港、台湾地区实行资本主义制度。(原文出现总说或分述时要分译)

译文:We are pursuing a policy of “one country with two systems.” More specifi cally, this means that within the People’s Republic of China, the mainland with its more than one billion people will maintain the socialist system, while Hong Kong and Taiwan continue under the capitalist system.

例5. 我们主张对我国神圣领土台湾实行和平统一,有关的政策,也是众所周知和不会改变的,并且正在深入人心。(为了强调语气而采用分译)

译文:We want peaceful reunification with Taiwan which is part of our sacred territory. Our policy in this regard is also known to all and will not change. The desire for peaceful reunification of the motherland is taking hold in the hearts of the entire Chinese nation.

II.合句法

英汉两种语言的句子结构不完全相同,尽管英语句子日趋简洁,但是从句套从句,短语含短语的句型也是频频出现。一般而言,一个英语句子的信息包含量要大于一个汉语句子,因此,我们在做汉译英的时候,常常把汉语的两个句子,甚至更多句子,合译成英语的一句。使用合句法还可以使译文紧凑、简练。如以下三个例子:

例6:一代人与一代人之间的冲突,也就是年轻人与老年人的冲突,似乎是最可笑的。因为这就是现在的自己与将来的自己,或者说过去的自己与现在的自己的冲突。(在关联词处合译)

译文:A conflict between the generations between youth and age seems the most stupid, for it is one between oneself as one is and oneself as one will be, or between oneself as one was and oneself as one is.

例7:对我来说,我的水族箱就像我自己的一个小王国。我就是里面的国王。(从主语变换处合译)

译文:To me my aquarium is like my own little kingdom where I am king.

例8:第二天,我又接到一个电报。这个电报有34个字,比前一个电报说得更详细。(按内容连贯合译)

译文:The following day I received another telegram consisting of 34 ciphers, giving more details.

最新四六级翻译题(附答案)

2017年12月英语四六级翻译真题 英语四级翻译真题:泰山 泰山位于山东省西部。海拔1500余米,方圆约400平方公里。泰山不仅雄伟壮观,而且是一座历史文化名山,过去3000多年一直是人们前往朝拜的地方。据记载,共有72位帝王曾来此游览。许多作家到泰山获取灵感,写诗作文,艺术家也来此绘画。山上因此留下了许许多多的文物古迹。泰山如今已成为中国一处主要的旅游景点。 英语四级翻译真题:华山 华山位于华阴市,距西安120公里。华山是秦岭的一部分。秦岭不仅分割陕南与陕北,也分隔华南与华北。与从前人们常去朝拜的泰山不同。华山过去很少有人光临。因为上山的道路极其危险。然而,希望长寿的人却经常上山,因为山上生长着许多药草,特别是一些稀有的药草。自上世纪90年代安装缆车以来,参观人数大大增加。 英语四级翻译真题:黄山 黄山位于安徽省南部。它风景独特,尤以其日出和云海著称。要欣赏大山的宏伟壮丽,通常得向上看。但要欣赏黄山美景,就得向下看。黄山的湿润气候有利于茶树生长,是中国主要产茶地之一。这里还有许多温泉,其泉水有助于防治皮肤病。黄山是中国主要旅游目的地之一,也是摄影和传统国画最受欢迎的主题。 英语六级翻译真题:青海湖 青海湖位于海拔3205米、青海省省会西宁以西约100公里处。是中国最大的咸水湖,面积4317平方公里,最深处25.5米,有23条河注入湖中,其中大部分是季节性的。百分之八十的湖水源于五条主要河流。青海湖位于跨越亚洲的几条候鸟迁徙路线的交叉处。许多鸟类把青海湖作为迁徙过程中的暂息地,湖的西侧是著名的“鸟岛”,吸引着来自世界各地的观鸟者。每年夏天,游客们也来这里观看国际自行车比赛。 英语六级翻译真题:洞庭湖 洞庭湖位于湖南省东北部,面积很大,但湖水很浅。洞庭湖是长江的蓄洪池,湖的大小很大程度上取决于季节变化,湖北和湖南两省因其与湖的相对位置而得名,湖北意为“湖的北边”,而湖南则为“湖的南边”。洞庭湖作为龙舟赛的发源地,在中国文化中享有盛名。据说龙舟赛始于洞庭湖东岸。为的是搜寻楚国爱国诗人屈原的遗体。龙舟赛与洞庭湖及周边的美景,每年都吸引着成千上万来自全国和世界各地的游客。 英语六级翻译真题:太湖 太湖是中国东部的一个淡水湖,占地面积2250平方公里,是中国第三大淡水湖,仅次于鄱阳和洞庭,太湖约有90个岛屿,大小从几平方米到几平方公里不等。太湖以其独特的“太湖石”而闻名,太湖石常用于装饰中国传统园林。太湖也以高产的捕鱼业而闻名。自上世纪70年代后期以来,捕捞鱼蟹对沿湖的

四六级翻译5大技巧

四六级翻译的5个技巧 新东方在线 很多同学在四六级备考中会陷入这样的困惑——翻译题没有提高,也不知道怎么提高翻译的分数。新东方在线四六级教研室推出翻译题的五大做题技巧,为大家提供翻译题的做题方法。 1.在翻译前,先确定可以正确理解文章意思。即便遇到很难的说法,也可以先变成简单的中文再进行翻译。 如:年夜饭 译:The annual reunion dinner 析:指过年的那顿团圆饭,每年一次。所以在翻译时要表达出这个团聚的含义 2.注意翻译时态的转换。 如:我在第一段说过,我刚从大学毕业。 译:As I said in my first paragraph, I was fresh from college. 析:中文的时态是依赖一些汉字表达,英文根据动词的变化形式展示。文中的“过”英文采用一般过去时翻译。英语语法是英文的“骨”,语法掌握得不好的同学,可多关注新东方在线四六级推出的专项解析,一起加强英语语法。 3.有些介词可能会帮到忙,比如with+ 名词的结构,就很多见。 如:这里有许多山脉,生长着大片的森林,贮藏着丰富的矿产。 译:There are mountain ranges here with extensive forests and rich mineral resources.

析:生长和储藏这两个动词在译文中并没有以动词的形式翻译,转译为英文的介词 4.应用英语的固定句型,这些句式可以加分,绝对是亮点 如:是巴斯德发现了疾病是由活着的病菌引起的。 译:It was Pasteur who discovered that diseases are caused by living germs. 析:此句应用了英文的强调句进行翻译。 5.分析上下句之间的逻辑关系,添加一些简单的连词,英文的译文会更漂亮 如:汽油贵得惊人,我们就很少用车。 译:Because the price of gasoline was fantastically high, we seldom used our cars. 析:在原文中并没有出现表示原因类的词汇,但是在译文中根据两个句子之间的逻辑关系添加了表示原因的从句连词。 更多翻译干货,敬请关注新东方在线持续推出。
