翻译漫谈(十四)汉译英:替代

关于汉译英,我想谈三个要点:1.替代(substitution);2.主谓(subject-predicate);3.主从(subordination)。这三个要点用英语表述,第一个字母都是S,因此可以简称“三S要点”。译文质量不高,往往是因为这三个问题没有处理好。换言之,若这三个问题处理得较好,可以为译文增色不少。这一讲,就集中谈“替代”。

英语不喜欢重复,如果在一句话里或相连的几句话里需要重复某个词语,则用代词来代替,或以其他手段来避免重复。汉语不怕重复,连续使用某个词语是常见的事。所以汉译英时要千方百计避免重复,多用代称;英译汉时则要少用代称,多用实词。

说起“替代”,我们当然首先想到代词。

代词的使用,在英语和汉语里有很大的不同。总的说来,英语代词用得多,汉语代词用得少。因此,英译汉时,有些代词可以不译。汉译英时则要在适当的地方增加代词,特别是物主代词。用代词以避免重复的例子,更是比比皆是。

例1.一切都要从这个实际出发,根据这个实际来制订规划。

In everything we do we must proceed from this reality, and all planning must be consistent with it.

例2.走社会主义道路,就是要逐步实现共同富裕。共同富裕的构想是这样提出的:一部分地区有条件先发展起来,一部分地区发展慢点,先发展起来的地区带动后发展的地区,最终达到共同富裕。……解决的办法之一,就是先富起来的地区多交点利税,支持贫困地区的发展。

To take the road to socialism is to realize common prosperity step by step. Our plan is as follows: where conditions permit, some areas may develop faster than others; those that develop faster can help promote the progress of those that lag behind, until all become prosperous…. One way is for the areas that become prosperous first to support the poor ones by paying more taxes or turning in more profits to the state.

例3.要提倡科学,靠科学才有希望。

We must promote science, for that is where our hope lies.

例4.目前我们国内正在进行改革。我是主张改革的,不改革就没有出路。

China is now carrying out a reform. I am all in favor of that. There is no other solution for us.

例5.最近,有的外国人议论,马克思主义是打不倒的。打不倒,并不是因为大本子多,而是因为马克思主义的真理颠扑不破。

Recently, some foreigners said that Marxism cannot be defeated. That is so not because there are so many big books, but because Marxism is the irrefutable truth.

以上五例都用了代词以避免重复。例1用it代替this reality,例2用others,those和ones代替areas,例3至例5都用that概括了前面的话。

说起代词,还有两点值得注意。一是英语常用she(her)代替某个国家或某一条船。

例6.The delta and the narrow Nile Valley to the south make up only 3 percent of Egypt’s land but are home to 96 percent of her population. (National Geographic)

例7.Have you ever been at sea in a dense fog, when it seemed as if a tangible white darkness shut you in, and the

great ship, tense and anxious, groped her way toward the shore with plummet and sounding-line and you waited with beating heart for something to happen? (Helen Keller, The Story of My Life)

例8.现阶段中国已经实现了粮食基本自给,在未来的发展过程中,中国依靠自己的力量实现粮食基本自给,客观上具备诸多有利因素。

China has basically achieved self-sufficiency in grain at the present stage, and there are many favorable objective factors for her to maintain such achievement by her own efforts in the course of future development.

例9.社会主义中国应该用实践向世界表明,中国反对霸权主义、强权政治,永不称霸。

Socialist China should show the world through its actions that it is opposed to hegemonism and power politics and will never seek hegemony.

这种用she(her)指国家和船只的用法由来已久,现在指国家,倒是用it(its)的较为多见。Michael Swan所著Practical English Usage 《英语用法指南》第227条对这一问题作了详细的说明。

还有一种现象值得注意,那就是用they指单数。2004年出版的《牛津高阶英汉双解词典》(第6版)有这样的例句:

例10.Everyone must accept their share of the blame. (见share条)

例11.Should anyone call (= if anyone calls), please tell them I’m busy. (见should条)

例12.Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion. (见entitle 条)

用they指单数就可避免he or she之类的累赘说法。上述《英语用法指南》第505条也对这一问题作了详细的说明。

以上谈了代词的用法。其实,避免重复的办法很多,也不限于使用代词。

英国语言学家Randolph Quirk等四位学者合编的A Grammar of Contemporary English 在关于Substitution一节中指出:不仅名词短语可以有代称,状语、谓语乃至宾语从句,都可以有代称。该书把用作代称的替代词统称为pro-forms。书中举了许多例子,如:

We saw John at eight on Monday evening. We told him then that we would be coming to the party.

Look in the top drawer. You’ll probably find it there.

A: John drives a car. B: I think Bob does too.

A: John drives a car. B: So does Bob.

Oxford is likely to win the next boat race. All my friends say so. (= that Oxford is likely to win the next boat race)

以上例子中的then,there,does,so does,so都可以说是pro-forms。

例13.Egypt, wrote the Greek historian Hecataeus, is the gift of the Nile. No other country is so dependent on a single lifeline. Egypt’s very soil was born in the Nile’s annual flood; with the flood came the life-giving mud that made Egypt the granary of the ancient world. And as rain fell in the Ethiopian highlands and the snows melted in the Mountains of the Moon, the river was everlastingly renewed. (National Geographic)

在第一句和第三句里,the Nile出现两次。在第四句里再次出现

时,使用了代称the river。要想避免重复,译者就不能把视线局限在一个句子之内,而要照顾到上下文。

例14.要选人民公认是坚持改革开放路线并有政绩的人,大胆地放进新的领导机构里,使人民感到我们真心诚意搞改革开放。

We should boldly choose for the new leadership persons who were generally recognized as adhering to the line of reform and opening up and who had some achievements in that respect to their credit. This would convince the people that we were wholeheartedly committed to that line.

以上二例都是以名词替代名词,也不见得比实称简短多少,只是换一种说法而已。

动词和形容词如何避免重复呢?如果可能,可以合并。

例15.所以,要把我们的军队教育好,把我们的专政机构教育好,把共产党员教育好,把人民和青年教育好。

So we must educate the army, persons working in the organs of dictatorship, the Communist Party members and the people, including the youth.

例16.会议多,文章太长,讲话也太长。

We hold countless meetings, and our articles and speeches are too long.

如不可能合并,则可利用so,as,to do that等词语来避免重复。

例17.He disliked her and had never been shy of saying so.

例18.The government could change the law if they were so minded.

例19.老科学家、中年科学家很重要,青年科学家也很重要。

Veteran and middle-aged scientists are important, and so are young ones.

例20.革命是解放生产力,改革也是解放生产力。

Revolution means the emancipation of the productive forces, and so does reform.

以上二例,前半句和后半句之间用了and一词,请注意,不要丢掉。

例21.Almost at once the number of egg masses deposited on experimental goats began to decrease, as did their fertility. (Rachel Carson, Silent Spring)

(在试验用的山羊身上产的卵块几乎立刻减少,其受精率亦下降。)

例22.这五年,首先是农村改革带来许多新的变化,农作物大幅度增产,农民收入大幅度增加,乡镇企业异军突起。

During those five years rural reform brought about many changes: grain output increased substantially, as did the peasants’income, and rural enterprises emerged as a new force.

例23.开始搞并不踊跃呀,好多人在看。我们的政策就是允许看。允许看,比强制好得多。

At first, people were not enthusiastic about rural reform, and many waited to see how it would work. It was our policy to permit people to do that, which was much better than coercing them.

例24.你们到农村去看了一下吗?我们真正的变化还是在农村,

有些变化出乎我们的预料。

Have you been to our countryside? The real changes have taken place there, and some of them have exceeded our expectations.

译文用了there和them,以避免重复countryside和changes。

有时英语为了避免重复,需要用一种完全新的表达方式。

例25.Lift and lower the right leg 20 times. Repeat with the left leg.

(将右腿提放20次。再将左腿提放20次。)

例26.现在国际上有一种议论,说中国改革的步子放慢了,政策要变。说放慢步子还有些根据,说政策要变就没有根据了。

Lately some people abroad have been commenting that the pace of reform in China has slowed and predicting that the government is going to change its policies. There is some basis for the first assertion but none at all for the second.

例27.多搞点“三资”企业,不要怕。只要我们头脑清醒,就不怕。

We should have more of the three kinds of

foreign-invested ventures [joint, cooperative and

foreign-owned]. There is no reason to be afraid of them. So long as we keep level-headed, there is no cause for alarm.

有时一句话后半句表示的动作和前半句是一样的,只是把施事和受事颠倒一下。这在汉语里,后半句和前半句一般用同样的结构,略显重复。英语里则有一简单的说法:vice versa。

例28.为了推动中美关系的发展,中国需要进一步了解美国,美国也需要进一步了解中国。

To promote the development of China-U.S. relations, China needs to know the United States better and vice versa.

有时为了加强语气,取得一定的修辞效果,故意重复句中的某些词语。这无论是在英语里还是在汉语里都是常见的。遇到这种情况,即便是英语也照样重复,而不用代称。

例29.The world watches. The world listens. The world waits to see what we will do. (Speech by President Nixon)

例30.中国愿与东盟各国永做好邻居、好伙伴、好朋友。

China will forever be a good neighbor, a good partner and a good friend with ASEAN countries.

由此看来,英语也不是一概反对重复。汉译英时,恐怕要该避免时避免,该重复时重复,你说是不是?

He went to the Whitney and spent the "empty" time looking at things in solitary bliss. For him it proved to be a shock nearly as great as falling in love to discover that he could enjoy himself so much alone. 参考译文: 独自生活的报偿 前些日子,我的一个熟人,一位热爱交际并很受欢迎的男士告诉我,他在纽约的两个约会之间偶然有一两个小时的空闲,他便去了惠特尼博物馆,四处浏览着展品,无比幸福的度过了那些时光。发现自已独自一人,也能如此的幸福,他感觉像坠入爱河那般震惊。 英语专业八级翻译练习题(二) What had he been afraid of, I asked myself?

英语翻译答案

汉译英 1.广场舞是社区中老年居民以健身、社交等为目的在广场、公园等开敞的地方进行的健身操或舞蹈,通常以高分贝的音乐伴奏。广场舞在中国大陆无论南北皆十分普遍。对于广场舞的确切认识,社会学界及体育界目前均未达成共识。广场舞的高分贝音乐常常造成噪音滋扰,因此许多居民反对在小区中跳广场舞。 The square dancing is a bodybuilding exercise or dance performed in wide and open places such as squares and parks among the middle-aged and old residents in communities, with the purpose of bodybuilding, socializing and so on, generally accompanied with high-pitched music. The square dancing is very popular all over mainland China, whether in the north or in the south. Neither the sociological circle nor the sports circle has currently reached a consensus on the exact perception of the square dancing. The high-pitched music of the square dancing often causes noisy disruption, and therefore many residents are opposed to the square dancing in communities. 2.故宫,又称紫禁城,是明、清两代的皇宫,二十四位皇帝在此生活起居和处理政务。它是世界现存最大、最完整的木质结构的古建筑群(architectural complex)。宫殿墙壁的色调以红色和黄色为主,红色代表快乐、好运和财富,而黄色代表帝王的神圣和尊贵。近十几年来,故宫平均每年接待中外游客600-800万人次,随着旅游业的繁荣,游客人数有增无减,可见人们对故宫的兴趣长盛不衰。 The Imperial Palace, also known as the Forbidden City, was the palace in Ming and Qing Dynasties where 24 emperors lived and handled government affairs. It is the largest and most complete existing ancient wooden architectural complex in the world. The palace wall was painted mainly in red and yellow. Red represents happiness, luck and fortune while yellow symbolizes imperial holiness and dignity. In recent decades, the Imperial Palace is visited annually by six to eight million tourists at home and abroad. Moreover, with flourishing tourism industry, the number of tourists keeps increasing. It shows people’s everlasting and unfading interest in the Imperial Palace. 3.《新闻联播》是中国中央电视台(CCTV)每日播出的一个新闻节目。节目每次播出时长一般为30分钟。它被中国大陆大多数地方频道同时转播,这使得它成为世界上收看人数最多的节目之一。自从1978年1月1日首次播出以来,它就以客观、生动、丰富的纪实手段记录着中华大地每一天的变化。作为中国官方新闻资讯类节目,《新闻联播》以沉稳、庄重的风格著称。 Xinwen Lianbo is a news program broadcast by China Central Television (CCTV) every day. It generally takes 30 minutes every time to broadcast the program. It is relayed simultaneously by most local television channels in the mainland of China, which makes it one of the world’s most-watched programs. Since it was first broadcast on January 1st, 1978, it has been recording the changes of every day throughout China by documentary means that is objective, vivid and rich.

历年专八翻译真题

历年专八英译汉翻译真题 1995 I, by comparison, living in my overpriced city apartment, walking to work past putrid sacks of street garbage, paying usurious taxes to local and state governments I generally abhor, I am rated middle class. This causes me to wonder, do the measurement make sense? Are we measuring only that which is easily measured--- the numbers on the money chart --- and ignoring values more central to the good life? For my sons there is of course the rural bounty of fresh-grown vegetables, line-caught fish and the shared riches of neighbours’ orchards and gardens. There is the unpaid baby-sitter for whose children my daughter-in-law baby-sits in return, and neighbours who barter their skills and labour. But more than that, how do you measure serenity? Sense if self? I don’t want to idealize life in small places. There are times when the outside world intrudes brutally, as when the cost of gasoline goes up or developers cast their eyes on untouched farmland. There are cruelties, there is intolerance, there are all the many vices and meannesses in small places that exist in large cities. Furthermore, it is harder to ignore them when they cannot be banished psychologically to another part of town or excused as the whims of alien groups --- when they have to be acknowledged as “part of us.” Nor do I want to belittle the opportunities for small decencies in cities --- the eruptions of one-stranger-to-another caring that always surprise and delight. But these are,sadly,more exceptions than rules and are often overwhelmed by the awful corruptions and dangers that surround us. 对我的几个儿子来说,乡村当然有充足的新鲜蔬菜,垂钓来的鱼,邻里菜园和果园里可供分享的丰盛瓜果。乡下有不用付报酬便可请来照看孩子的邻居,作为回报,我儿媳也帮着照看其孩子。乡邻之间互相交换技能和劳动。但比之更重要的是,你如何来衡量那静谧与安详?如何来衡量自我价值呢? 我无意将小地方的生活理想化。因为有时外面的世界会无情地侵入:比如汽油价格上涨,开发商把眼睛盯住尚未开发的农田;那里充斥着凶残和偏狭,大城市的种种卑劣行径,小地方也一应俱全。不仅如此,当人们无法自欺欺人地硬把那些丑恶现象想象成只是小地方的一小部分或将它们解释为异乡人的为所欲为,而又不得不承认这一切是我们的一部分时,就更难以忽视它们。 1996 It should have been easy. They were battle-tested veterans with long ties to Reagan and even longer ties to the Republican party, men who understood presidential politics as well as any in the country. The backdrop of the campaign was hospitable, with lots of good news to work with: America was at peace, and the nation’s economy, a key factor in any election, was rebounding vigorously after recession. Furthermore, the campaign itself was lavishly financed, with plenty of money for a top-flight staff, travel, and television commercials. And, most important, their candidate was Ronald Reagan, a president of tremendous personal popularity and dazzling communication skills. Reagan has succeed more than any president since John F. Kennedy in projecting a broad vision of America – a nation of renewed military strength, individual initiative, and smaller federal government. 这应该不是件难事。这都是些跟着里根多年、久经沙场的老将,他们跟共和党则有更深厚的渊源,是这个国家里最熟悉总统政治的人。竞选的背景也很有利,也很多好消息可供炒作。例如,美国上下一片和平,美国经济这一竞选要素也在经过一段时间的衰退之后开始强劲反弹。此外,这次竞选本身得到了慷慨资助,因此有充裕的资用于组织一流的竞选班子、支付巡回演讲和电视广告的费用。而最重要的一点是,他们的候选人是罗纳德·里根,他可是位极具个人魅力和沟通技巧的总统。自约翰·F·肯尼迪总统以来,里根是最成功地勾勒出美国蓝图的总统:一个军事力量复兴、富有个人进取心、联邦政府得以精简的国家。

汉译英答案3

汉英语篇翻译练习答案: 1.Retirement Attitudes toward retirement vary from person to person. Some people think that they will enjoy their time in retirement, but when it comes they may feel a little disappointed. Unwilling to resign themselves to the prospect of being put on the scrap heap, they try to seek alternative outlets for their energies and alternative sources of income that employment can provide. Others have already prepared themselves for the significant change in their lives. Tired out after all exhaus ting life revolving around work, they are anxious to relax in retirement with all the strains relieved. As there is no more need to rush to catch a morning bus and no more anxiety about promotion, they now have enough time to fulfill an old dream, such as writing, painting, growing flowers and traveling around. On the whole, female workers tend to have a more favorable attitude towards retirement than male workers. Withdrawal from employment to complete domesticity is a far less threatening experience for a woman than for a man. 2. Good-bye, My Ill-fated Motherland! The moment I set foot on the deck of the ship, there began my temporary separation from Chinese oil and a feeling of parting sorrow welled up in my heart. At sailing time, I stood on deck watching the ship receding slowly from the bank until I was out of sight of the towering waterfront buildings and the foreign warships on the Huangpu River. Thereupon I turned round with hot tears in my eyes, murmuri ng, “Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland!” Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland! I own what I am to the upbringing you have given me during the past 22 years. I have spent every day of my life in your warm bosom and under your loving care. Y ou have given me joy and sorrow as well as food and clothing. This is where my close relatives were born and brought up and where I have friends here and there. Y ou gave me a wide variety of happiness in my early childhood, but you have also been the source of my sorrow ever since I began to understand things. Here I have witnessed all sorts of human tragedy. Here I have come to know the times we live in. Here I have undergone untold sufferings. I have been struggling, fighting and, time and again, found myself on the brink of destruction and covered all over with cuts and bruises. I have laid to rest, with tears and sighs, some of my close relatives—relatives victimized by old feudal ethnics. Here, besides beautiful mountains and rivers and fertile farmland, we have ghastly prisons and execution grounds as well. Here bad people hold sway while good people suffer and justice is trodden down underfoot. Here people have to wage a savage struggle in order to win freedom. Here man eats man. O the numerous terrible scenes! O the numerous sad memories! O the grand Y ellow River! O the mysterious Y angtze River! Where on earth are your glories of the past? O my native land! O my people! How can I have the heart to leave you! Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland! Much as I hate you, I’ve got to love you as ever. (选自《英语世界》2004年第三期,张培基译)
