There is no month in the whole year, in which nature wears a more beautiful appearance than in the month of August. Spring has many beauties, and May is a fresh and blooming month；but the charms of this time of year are enhanced by their contrast with the winter season. August has no such advantage. It comes when we remember nothing but clear skies, green fields and sweet-smelling flowers —when the recollection of snow, and ice, and bleak winds, has faded

韩刚B2A“译点通”笔译独家秘笈之：汉译英十大技巧 一、中文结构“三步走”。主要是指涉及政府外宣类题材的句子结构划分技巧。所谓“三步走”，具体是指：中文长句中，第一步给出理念、指导方针或原则，第二步具体阐述在这种方针原则的指导下都做了什么或者要做什么，第三步给出结果或者要实现的目标。在具体行文时，可以按照“每一步”信息的多少进行“逐步”切句或者灵活整合。有了“三步走”原则，长句一点儿都不可怕！这一汉英句式逻辑分析技巧在实操训练中非常实用也极易掌握！详见各循环相关实例分析。 二、“孰轻孰重”要分明。主要是指中英句子结构差异：中文结构“前轻后重”，中文结构事实、背景在前，表态、判断、结论在后，英文恰恰相反，是“前重后轻”。结构差异了然于胸，“表态判断为主，事实背景为从”，在翻译时有了这样一个主从句框架搭建原则，逻辑一目了然，译文自然“行云流水”！详见各循环相关实例分析。 三、结构搭建“三剑客”。主要是指汉译英时结构搭建常用的三个功能词或形式，即as, ing, with。译文结构好不好，它们说了算！可以不夸张地说，谁尽早熟练掌握了这三个功能词或形式，谁就能尽早步入汉英翻译的殿堂！详见各循环相关实例分析。 四、同义重复“并译”行。主要是指中文具有前后呼应、信息重叠的特点，经常使用四字甚至八字表达同一意思，英译时必须压缩合并减译，提取核心意思，力求简洁、流畅，如：骄傲与自豪，千山万水，你中有我、我中有你，等等。中文还有一个典型特点，即“双动词现象”，如：调整和优化，提高和加强，保障和改善民生，加强和完善。以“调整和优化”为例，这两个词在具体上下文中往往属于同义动词，调整的目的就是优化，而优化就是一种调整，直接取同义翻译即可。详见各循环相关实例分析。 五、“千变万化”增张力。主要是指中英翻译要“千变万化”，“同义发散”，选取不同角度对同一内容进行诠释，使用同义词进行替换等等，以此来凸显英文语言的多变性。这与平时大家学习英文写作的要求完全一致，即，同义词替换多多益善！要从写作的高度看翻译！详见各循环相关实例分析。 六、具体、概括“不相容”。主要是指汉英翻译的原则之一“舍宏观概括、取微观具体”。中文里往往会在具体信息后添加概括信息，如：“以人为本”的理念、“先到先得”的韩刚B2A“译点通”: 90天攻克CATTI三级笔译6

Amplification & Omission增词法和减词法 翻译的标准首先是忠实于原文。那么，忠实是否就意味着我们在翻译过程中不能增加词也不能减少词呢？实际上并非如此。美国著名翻译学家奈达曾经说过“Translation is translating meaning”，在翻译过程中主要是准确表达出原文的意思，而不必拘泥于原文用词的形式。英汉两种语言不论在词汇上还是在句法上都存在着显著的差异，一味拘泥于原文的形式，有时会令人费解、语句罗嗦或偏离原文的意思。适当地增加一些词或者省略一些词，恰恰是为了达到忠实于原文或者通顺流畅表达的目的。下面分别举例介绍一下英汉翻译过程中常见的增词和减词的用法。 1．增词法 增词法并不是说译者可以随心所欲地增加任何词。一般说来，增加的词尽管没有出现在原文字面上，但实际上其意思都隐含在原文中。经常使用的增词法有以下几种情况： (1)增加表示时态和复数的词 英语具有某些综合形语言的特征，可以通过名词、动词的词形变化来表现时态和复数。而汉语则是典型的分析形语言，词形本身没有变化，要表示时态和复数需要通过增加相应的时间副词或表示复数的词。所以一定要注意在汉语译文中添加这些词，如： 例1：His father was a fisherman. He was as poor as we are. 译文：他父亲过去是个渔夫。那时候他和我们现在一样穷。 例2：The agreement will come into force next spring. 译文：协议将于明年生效。 例3：Lion is the king of animals. 译文：狮子是百兽之王。 例4：As is known to all, air is a mixture of gases. 译文：众所周知，空气是许多种气体的混合物。 (2)增加语义表达中需要的词 增加语义表达中需要的词，是指为了使译文表达通顺流畅而根据汉语的表达习惯增加的一些词。经常增加的语义表达中需要的词有动词、名词、形容词、副词和量词。 1) 增加动词 汉语句子中动词占优势，使用的频率很高。因此英汉翻译中经常需要根据上下文的意思添加一些动词，使译文表达更加清楚、通顺，如： 例5：He dismissed the meeting without a closing speech. 译文：他没有致闭幕词就宣布会议结束。 例6：I must finish this paper before class. 译文：我必须在上课之前做完这篇论文。 例7：The sports meeting is schedule for May 4. 译文：运动会定于五月四日举行。 例8：The molecules get closer and closer with the pressure. 译文：随着压力增大，分子排列得越来越紧密。 2)增加名词 英语中有大量由动词或形容词派生的抽象名词，在翻译这些词时，有时需在其后增加一些名词才能把词义表达得更加完整、自然，如： 例9：I was deeply impressed by the backwardness of the mountainous area. 译文；山区的落后状况给我留下了深刻印象。
英语翻译的十大方法
英汉两种语言在句法、词汇、修辞等方面均存在着很大的差异，因此在进行英汉互译时必然会遇到很多困难，需要有一定的翻译技巧作指导。常用的翻译技巧有增译法、省译法、转换法、拆句法、合并法、正译法、反译法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重组法和综合法等。这些技巧不但可以运用于笔译之中，也可以运用于口译过程中，而且应该用得更加熟练，因为口译工作的特点决定了译员没有更多的时间进行思考。 一、增译法 指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式，在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子，以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。这种方式多半用在汉译英里。汉语无主句较多，而英语句子一般都要有主语，所以在翻译汉语无主句的时候，除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或“There be…”结构来翻译以外，一般都要根据语境补出主语，使句子完整。英汉两种语言在名词、代词、连词、介词和冠词的使用方法上也存在很大差别。英语中代词使用频率较高，凡说到人的器官和归某人所有的或与某人有关的事物时，必须在前面加上物主代词。因此，在汉译英时需要增补物主代词，而在英译汉时又需要根据情况适当地删减。英语词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子的逻辑关系一般用连词来表示，而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表示这种关系。因此，在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。英语句子离不开介词和冠词。另外，在汉译英时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语，以确保译文意思的完整。总之，通过增译，一是保证译文语法结构的完整，二是保证译文意思的明确。如： ①、What about calling him right away? 马上给他打个电话，你觉得如何（增译主语和谓语） ②、If only I could see the realization of the four modernizations. 要是我能看到四个现代化实现该有多好啊！（增译主句） ③、Indeed, the reverse is true. 实际情况恰好相反。（增译名词） ④、就是法西斯国家本国的人民也被剥夺了人权。 Even the people in the fascist countries were stripped of their human rights.（增译物主代词） ⑤、只许州官放火，不许百姓点灯。 While the magistrates were free to burn down house, the common people were forbidden to light lamps. （增译连词） ⑥、这是我们两国人民的又一个共同点。 This is yet another common point between the people of our two countries.（增译介词） ⑦、在人权领域，中国反对以大欺小、以强凌弱。 In the field of human rights, China opposes the practice of the big oppressing the small and the strong bullying the weak.（增译暗含词语） ⑧、三个臭皮匠，合成一个诸葛亮。 Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang the mastermind.（增译注释性词语） 二、省译法 这是与增译法相对应的一种翻译方法，即删去不符合目标语思维习惯、语言习惯和表达方式的词，以避免译文累赘。增译法的例句反之即可。又如： ①、You will be staying in this hotel during your visit in Beijing. 你在北京访问期间就住在这家饭店里。（省译物主代词） ②、I hope you will enjoy your stay here.
汉译英翻译技巧分析解析
汉译英翻译技巧 一、分清主从(Subordination) 汉语句中各分句关系比较松散，所以在动笔前应认真分析句子要旨所在。句中重点往往在后。英译时，要突出重点或主句，其他部分可分别用介词短语，非谓语动词形式或各种从句表示。 1、没有农业，人们就不能生存，社会生产就不能继续下去。 Without agriculture, people cannot exist, neither can social production proceed. 2、他们一听到“反霸”就火冒三丈,这充分暴露了他们那霸权主义的蛮横嘴脸。 The fact that they fly into a rage at a mere mention of the expression“anti- hegemony”is enough to reveal their true colours as a domineering hegemonists. 3、有人以为社会主义就了不起，一点缺点也没有，哪有这个事? Some believe that socialism is just perfect, without a single flaw. How can that be true? 4、但是，象我们常说的那样，道路总是曲折的，前途总是光明的。 But as we have often said, while the road ahead is tortuous, the future is bright. 二、选词用字（Diction） 在汉译英时应特别注意选找与原文中在意义上和风味上尽可能都类似的词语。 1、每个民族都有它的长处，不然它为什么能存在？为什么能发展？ Every nation has its own strong points. If not, how can it survive? How can it progress? 2、树雄心，立壮志，向科学技术现代化进军。 Foster lofty ideals, set high goals and march forward for the revolution of modernization of science and technology. 3、我国的社会主义建设，需要一个和平的国际环境，需要一个国内安定团结， 天下大治的局面。 For its socialist construction, China needs an international environment of peace and a domestic situation of stability, unity and great order. 4、论技术，她那时还不如我，但思想却比我高得多。 Professionally she was then not yet my equal, but ideologically she was head and shoulders above me. 三、增益（Ampification） 汉译英时的“增益”技巧的运用,有时是为了使英美人理解原文的精确含义,有时是为了遵循英语的行文习惯。 1、交出翻译之前，必须读几遍，看看有没有要修改的地方。这样才能把工作做好。 Before handing in your translation, you have to read it over and over again and see if there anything in it to be corrected or improved. Only then can you do your work well. （英语行文时人称代词，物主代词用得较多） 2、她挑水，生炉子，洗东西，忙个不停。 Fetching water, building the fire, washing --- she had her hands full every minute. (增益为了意译) 3、他们一听说有新任务，就坐不往了。

第五节省略法（Omission） 省略是指原文中有些词不译出来，因为译文中虽无其词却已有其义，或者在译文中是不言而喻的。省略是删去可有可无的词，有了反倒累赘的词，违背译文语言习惯的词。但省略决不是删去原文的某些思想内容。 一、从语法角度看 （一）省略代词 1．省略作主语的人称代词 （1）根据汉语习惯，前句出现一个主语，后句仍为同一主语，不必重复出现。 1）Ｈe was tired and weary and he looked miserable. 他疲惫不堪，（他）看上去一副可怜相。 2) But it’s the way I am, and try as I might, I haven’t been able to change it. 不过我就是这个脾气，（我）虽然想改(…)，（我）终未能改变(…)。 （2）泛指人称代词作主语时，即便是第一个主语，也往往省略掉。 1) We eat to live, but not live to eat. (我们)为生存而吃饭，而不应该为吃饭而生存。 2．省略作宾语的代词 1）If you have read these stories, tell them in your own words. 如果你读过这些故事，请用自己的话复述（这些故事）。 3．省略物主代词 1) I wash my face and brush my teeth in the morning. 我早上洗（我的）脸、刷（我的）牙。 2) He shrugged his shoulders, s, shook his head, cast up his eye but said nothing. 他耸了耸（他的）肩，摇了摇（他的）头，（他的）两眼看天，一句话也没说。 4．省略非人称it或强调句it （1）非人称用it 1) He glanced at his watch; it was 9:00. 他一看表，9点了。 （2）强势用it 1) It was only then that I realized my mistake. 只是在那时我才意识到我错了。 （二）省略连接词 1. 省略并列连接词 1）Your parents or your wife or your son or your best friends might be expecting you back home safe and sound. 也许你父母，你妻子，你儿子，你最好的朋友都正盼望你安全回家呢。 2. 省略表示原因的连接词 1) We know that summer is coming, as we can see a swallow. 我们看见了燕子，知道夏天就要来了。 3. 省略表示条件的连接词 1) If winter comes, can spring be far behind? 冬天来了，春天还会远吗？（雪莱：《西风颂》）

Lecture note 2 1、直译（literal translation）VS意译（free translation） 直译：是既保持原文内容、又保持原文形式的翻译方法或翻译文字。直译不等于硬译或死译，也叫逐字翻译——就是以词为单位进行考虑的，力求目的语的每个词都能与原语的每个词对等。直译不仅能保持原作的特点,而且还可使读者逐步接受原作的文学风格，促进语言多样性，丰富目的语的语言形式，以利跨文化沟通与交流。 Eg: 1.dark horse（黑马）brandy（白兰地）rifle（来福枪） carnation（康乃馨）litchi（荔枝）salon（沙龙） engine（引擎）gentlemen’s agreement（君子协议） one country，two systems（一国两制） 2.to show one’s cards 摊牌 3.Soon got, soon gone. 来得容易，去得快。 4.Speech is silver, silence is golden. 雄辩是银，沉默是金。 5.There is no smoke without fire. 无火不生烟 6.The worst wheel of a cart creaks most. 最坏的车轮最会嘎嘎响。 7.Out of sight, out of mind. 眼不见，心不念。 8.来得易，去得疾。
Easy come, easy go. 9.同一个世界，同一个梦想。 One world, one dream. 10.She has many hot potatoes to handle every day. 她每天都要处理很多棘手的问题。 11.Partly as a result of the recently increasing demand, whole sale tea prices have almost doubled. 部分由于日益增长的需求，批发茶的价格几乎翻了一番。 12.It was an old and ragged moon. 这是一弯下弦残月。 意译，就是“自由翻译”。这里的“自由”主要指“结构自由”，就是说不用原文的表达方法，对原作句子的结构进行较大的变化和调整。 Eg： 13.塞翁失马，焉知非福。 [译文1]When the old man on the frontier lost his mare, who could have guessed it was a blessing in disguise? [译文2]A loss may turn out to be a gain. 14.We had the luxury of being able to choose from ten good candidates for the position. 这个工作职位的挑选余地大，我们有十位出色的候选人可供挑选。 15.Worldly hearts are penny-wise and pound –foolish. 世俗之人小事聪明，大事糊涂。 16.His integrity and sincerity recommend him to his colleagues. 他为人正直，待人诚恳，因此在同事中颇有人脉。 17.Having this thorny problem sorted out will sort out the men from the boys. 处理一下这个棘手的问题就能知道谁的能力大谁的能力小了。 2、包含典故的文化习语
