翻译常用的八种技巧

翻译常用的八种技巧翻译常用的八种技巧1.重译法(repetition)2.增译法(amplification)3.减译法(omission)4.词类转移法(conversion)5.词序调整法(inversion)6.分译法(division)7.正说反译、反说正译法(negation)8.语态变换法(the change of the voices)第一节重译法(repetition)在翻译中,有时为了忠实于原文,不得不重复某些词语,否则就不能忠实地表达原文的意思。
这种反复使用某些词语于翻译的方法就叫重译法。
重译法实际上也是一种增词法,只不过所增加的是上文出现的词。
重译法有三个作用:一是为了明确;而是为了强调;三是为了生动。
一、为了明确,有时需要重复宾语。
在英语中,一句话里两个动词共用一个宾语,宾语只在第二个动词之后出现一次。
而在汉语中,这样的宾语要在每个动词后分别出现。
定语后的名词亦是如此。
如:1.We have to analyse and solve problems. 我们要分析问题,解决问题。
2.I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I can not keep.我想吃什么就吃什么,想喝什么就和什么,眼睛睁不开了就睡觉。
3.人类利用自然科学去了解自然、改造自然。
People use naturalscience to understand and change nature.4.Aristocratic and democratic tendencies in a nation oftenshowthemselves in its speech.民族的贵族倾向和民族倾向常在其言语中表现出来。
5.我们来修改安全规则和卫生规则吧。
Let’s revise our safety andsanitary regulations.二、英语常用省略,但为了明确,也为了强调某些内容,在汉语中常常要将省去的部分重译出来。

四种翻译方法,十种翻译技巧

四种翻译方法1.直译和意译所谓直译,就是在译文语言条件许可时,在译文中既保持原文的内容,又保持原文的形式——特别指保持原文的比喻、形象和民族、地方色彩等。
每一个民族语言都有它自己的词汇、句法结构和表达方法。
当原文的思想内容与译文的表达形式有矛盾不宜采用直译法处理时,就应采用意译法。
意译要求译文能正确表达原文的内容,但可以不拘泥与原文的形式。
(张培基)应当指出,在再能确切的表达原作思想内容和不违背译文语言规范的条件下,直译有其可取之处,一方面有助于保存原著的格调,另一方面可以进新鲜的表达方法。
Literal translation refers to an adequaterepresentation of the original. When the original coincides or almost tallies with the Chinese language in the sequence of vocabulary, in grammatical structure and rhetorical device, literal translation must be used.Free translation is also called liberal translation, which does not adhere strictly to the form or word order of the orig in al.(郭著章)直译法是指在不违背英语文化的前提下,在英译文中完全保留汉语词语的指称意义,求得内容和形式相符的方法。
意译是指译者在受到译语社会文化差异的局限时,不得不舍弃原文的字面意义,以求疑问与原文的内容相符和主要语言功能的相似。
(陈宏薇)简单地说,直译指在译文中采用原作的的表达方法,句子结构与原句相似,但也不排除在短语层次进行某些调整。
意译指在译文中舍弃原作的表达方法,另觅同意等效的表达方法,或指对原作的句子结构进行较大的变化或调整。
Negation(正说反译、反说正译)

Translation concerning negationAims: to understand the features of Chinese and English as regards negation, the application of negation in the process of translationKey points: the application of negation in the process of translationDifficulties: affirmative 肯定in Chinese but negative in English, negative in Chinese but affirmative in EnglishTeaching procedures:Negation being an important conception in one’s expression of thoughts, expressions of negations is to be found in any tongue. This is naturally true of Chinese and English. However, the ways of indicating negation are quite different in the two languages. This frequently causes a lot of trouble to translators, who if not careful enough, would often make mistakes.1. Features of the two languages as regards negation●1. Both languages have negatives or expressions formed with negatives. In modern Chinese, the much-used negative words are: 不,没,别. These words express three different meanings: 不signifies表示denial of a statement;没denial of a being or occurrence(,非and 否can be put under this category);别dissuasion or prohibition(甭,勿,and 莫can be put under this category)●The oft-used negatives in English are “not”, and “no”, in addition to “nothing”, ”nobody” “none”, “without”, “ neither…nor”, “never”, etc.●Chinese negatives are generally capable of producing derivatives, particularly the word 不, 无and 非. Their derivatives are equivalent to English words formed by adding affixes, e.g. 不法unlawful, 不便inconvenient, 无边boundless,非正规军irregulars●In English, apart from using negatives to express negation, words with a negative sense can be formed by adding affixes to roo t words. The affixes thus used are mainly “less”suffix “un” “in”, and “non”●However, English words formed with affixes with a negative, while adjective and nouns formed with “un” such as “unavoidable” and “unbelief” are negative, for instance, verbs forme d with affixes such as “unclasp” and “uncork” affirmative.●In Chinese, words formed with negatives are generally negative in sense but in some cases they assume new meaning like 非常, which practically means 很.●In English, the same word formed with a different affix differs in meaning (compare discord with uncord). Sometimes, words formed with different affixes 词缀with a negative sense would produce words with different implications含义---derogatory贬义and the other non-derogatory褒义. For instance, immoral means 不道德,and is therefore derogatory while unmoral means 非道德,无道德观念的,and is therefore non derogatory. 1.W arm-up exercises2.I don't’ think Tom is correct.3.I don’t think Xiaoming is coming tomorrow.4.A re you not going tomorrow?---- No, I am not going .5.A frica is not kicking out W estern imperialism in order to invite other new masters.6.T he world today is far from peaceful.7.O ur PLA is worthy of being called a great army of the people.8.H e tried his best to overcome the lack of technical data.9.T he window refused to open.10.Y esterday he failed to get to school on time.11.They excluded children from getting in.12.The building is in a state of neglect.13.He is often absent- minded.14.To do this is beyond me.15.Lei Feng’s noble deeds are above all praise.16.I, rather than you , should do the work.17.The truth is quite other than what you think.18.She refrained from laughing.19.She was refused admitance by them.20.An opportunity is not likely to repeat itself.21.Live up to the expectations of our own people and the people throughout the world.22.Slips are scarely avoidable when you are new to your work.23.The meetings were marked by such an absence of lively discussions that at times they were almost on the piont of breaking up.24.Avoid operating the keys roughly.25.The scientists made a solemn plege at the conference, saying, “W e’ll forever live up to what our Party expecs of us.”26.The evidence is conclusive, excluding all possibilities of doubt.27.That fellow is far from being honest.28.Luan Ping stood still, trying vainly (in vain) to answer the battery of questions Y ang Zirong raised.29.That served to strenghen instead of weaken our determination.30.But for their help. W e should not succeeded in this experiment.31.All that glitters is not gold.32.All is not lost.33.All criminals are murderers.34.But aal men are born to reign.35.All that flatter you too much are not faithful friends.36.Both children are not clever.37.W e never thought of nothing wrong.我们从来没有想到有什么错误。
翻译技巧-B级考试

2. 将词义做具体化的引申(抽象—具体) 英语中有时候也用代表抽象概念或属性的词来表示 某种具体事物,译为汉语中应做具体化的引申.
• She respects him for what he is, not for what he has. • The Great Wall is a must for everyone to visit Beijing. • The car in front of me stopped and I missed the green.
2、省词 为了避免行文拖泥带水,有时需删减个 别可有可无的或违背汉语表达习惯的词句, 但绝不能把原文中的思想内容省去。 一般来讲,英语中的冠词、连词、介词、 泛指的人称代词、重复出现的人称/物主代 词往往可以省略;引导主语从句、宾语从 句的that、强调句中的it等一般可以省略。
• While reading, do not allow yourself to regress, but keep reading ahead in every sentence, even when you come across a new word. • If winter comes, can spring be far behind? • Smoking is prohibited in public places. • There was no snow, but the leaves were gone from the tree, and the grass was dead. • 阅读时,不要回头读;即使遇到一个生词也应该继 续往下读。 • 冬天来了,春天还会远吗? • 公共场所不许吸烟。 • 天未下雪,但已经叶落草枯。
四、增词和省词
1、增词 是根据语言结构、语义、语气和文 化背景的需要增加一些词来更忠实 通顺地表达原文的意思,将原文中 的“隐含成分”表达出来。但,不 能无中生有地随意增词。
