第三章定语从句的翻译与四字格的运用

3．5. Translation of Attributive Clauses 定语从句的翻译 For the short attributives, we can often put them before the head nouns they modifies in translation, no matter they are restrictive or non-restrictive ones. It is a consolation to know that they will surely carry on the cause for which Edgar Snow strove so faithfully all his life. （strive for sth. faithfully 为……奋斗不渝）了解到他们一定会继承爱德加·斯诺终生为之奋斗不渝的事业，这是令人欣慰的。 His laugh, which was very infectious, broke the silence. 他富于感染力的笑声打破了沉默。 For longer attributives, we can often translate them into another clause(小句) or sentence through division. They are striving for the ideal which is close to the heart of every Chinese and for which, in the past, many Chinese have laid down their lives. 他们正在为实现一个理想而努力奋斗，这个理想是每个中国人所珍爱的，在过去，许多中国人曾为此献出了自己的生命。 A fuel is a material which will burn at a reasonable temperature and produce heat. 燃料是一种物质，在适当的温度下能够燃烧并放出热量。 For those sentences whose main clause is short while the attributive is long with the focus of message in it, we can usually combine the attributive clause with main one. We are a people that have inherited ancient wisdom, that know the worth of biding one’s time and recognized opportunity for combat. 我们的民族继承了古代的智慧，懂得如何等待并善于抓住战机。 A true revolution is one that is devoted to human progress in all domains and that makes human progress the supreme and final object. 真正的革命，致力于人类的全面发展，并以此作为行动的终极目标。 There are some special attributive clauses which are attributives in form but equivalent of temporal, causal, adversative adverbial clauses, etc. (时间、原因、让步等状语从句)in meaning. Such clauses should be understood profoundly as to their relation to the main clause and translated flexibly as demonstrated below. They were very angry with their daughter, who insisted on marrying that ugly old man. 他们非常生女儿的气，因为她坚持要嫁给那个丑陋不堪的老头儿。 Her refusal to obey him greatly incensed him who had never met that kind of opposition before. 她拒绝服从他，这使他大为生气，因为他从来没有遭到过那样的反对。 He would be a rash man who should venture to defy world public opinion and act arbitrarily. 如果有人胆敢公然蔑视世界公众舆论而一意孤行,那他一定是个卤莽之徒。 Don’t you feel it strange that she should be so much ungrateful to Jack, who did so much for her when she was in poverty? ungrateful：忘恩负义 杰克在她困难时帮了她那么多，她却对杰克如此忘恩负义，你不觉得奇怪吗？ Flexibly Translating Attributive Clauses Introduced by “as”(灵活翻译由as 引导的定语从句)： ▼It is absolutely wrong to think foreign languages useless, as quite a few people did before. 认为外语无用是绝对错误的，不少人过去就有这种想法。 ▼It was very cold that night, as it usually was. 那天晚上寒冷刺骨，这里的天气常常这样。

成语四字格翻译

第五讲成语、俗语、典故的翻译 何为成语 成语既是一种结构固定而凝练、内涵丰富而深刻的语言现象，也是人类的历史和文化在人们所使用语言中的体现和反映。汉语和英语中都含有丰富的成语，在汉语中，成语指人们长期以来习用的，简洁精辟定型的词组或短语,常为四字短语，而在英语中，成语是词组，其含义不同于其中单词的含义，（idiom is phrase which means something different from meanings of the separate words）是不能明显地从构成其成分的单词的含义中找到其含义的词组和句子，必须从整体上进行理解。（phrase or sentence whose meaning not obvious through knowledge of the individual meanings of the consituent words but must be learnt as a whole） 英汉成语的相似性 两个基本特征： 一、语义的统一性或整体性：一条成语所表达的是一个整体的意思。 二、结构的固定性或定型性：成语的词序结构一般不能随意更改或颠倒，也不能随意增 减词，或者任意使用其它的词来替代某个词。 按照汉语成语和英语成语的语法功能和结构成分来分析，汉语成语可以分成动词性、名词性、形容词性和副词性成语等四大类。英语成语也包括这四大类。 Eg: 弃恶从善（动词性） turn over a new leaf （动词性） 富丽堂皇（形容词性） （as）jolly as a sand boy （形容词性） 千方百计（副词性） tooth and nail （副词性） 英汉成语中所反映的文化差异 1、生存环境的差异 成语的产生与人们的劳动和生活密切相关。英国是一个岛国，历史上航海业曾一度领先世界；而汉民族在亚洲大陆生活繁衍，人们的生活离不开土地。比喻花钱浪费，大手大脚，英语是spend money like water，而汉语是“挥金如土”。英语中有许多关于船和水的成语，在汉语中没有完全相同的对应成语，如to rest on one's oars（暂时歇一歇）, to keep one's head above water（奋力图存）, all at sea（不知所措）等等。 在汉语的文化氛围中，“东风”即是“春天的风”，夏天常与酷署炎热联系在一起，“赤日炎炎似火烧”、“骄阳似火”是常被用来描述夏天的词语。而英国地处西半球，北温带，海洋性气候，报告春天消息的却是西风，英国著名诗人雪莱的《西风颂》正是对春的讴歌。英国的夏季正是温馨宜人的季节，常与“可爱”、“温和”、“美好”相连。莎士比亚在他的一首十四行诗中把爱人比作夏天，Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?/Thou art more lovely and more temperate。 2、习俗差异 英汉习俗差异是多方面的，最典型的莫过于在对狗这种动物的态度上。狗在汉语中是一种卑微的动物。汉语中与狗有关的成语大都含有贬意：“狐朋狗党”、“狗急跳墙”、“狼心狗肺”、“狗腿子”等，尽管近些年来养庞物狗的人数大大增加，狗的“地位”似乎有所改变，但狗的贬义形象却深深地留在汉语言文化中。而在西方英语国家，狗被认为是人类

汉语四字成语的翻译技巧 引言 根据一般概念，翻译是将一种语言的信息用另一种语言表达出来的活动，但这个概念仍有它的欠缺之处。它只提及语言的信息，未提及文化的信息。美国的翻译理论家尤金·奈达曾给翻译下过这样的定义:翻译是指从语义到文体在译语中用最贴切而又最自然的对等语再现原文的信息。虽然奈达把翻译扩大到语义和文体两个层面，但仍未提及文化信息的再现。本问拟从文化信息(culture information)在翻译中的再现这个角度加以讨论。 1四字成语的文化背景 1.1成语的定义 1.2成语的来源 1.2.1 成语的语言特征 1.2.2 成语的文化特征 1.2.3成语中体现的中西文化 2成语的翻译策略 2.1成语的直译 2．1．1直译的定义和特点 2．1．2直译的方法技巧 2．1．3直译的实际运用 2.2 成语的意译 2．2．1意译的定义和特点 2．2．2意译的方法技巧
