u2九年级课文翻译
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way. 这是最美好的时代，这是最糟糕的时代；这是 智慧的年头，这是愚昧的年头；这是信仰的时期， 这是怀疑的时期；这是光明的季节，这是黑暗的 季节; 这是希望之春，这是失望之冬。我们的前途 拥有一切，我们的前途一无所有；我们正走向天 堂，我们也正直下地狱。 《双城记》（ATaleofTwoCities）——1859年
The violation of the maxim of quality in figures of speech
事实就是科学家的空气。——巴甫洛夫
纪晓岚有副铁齿铜牙。
2. The Violation in overstatement
Overstatement : It distorts the truth by exaggeration.
Romeo: Farewell, farewell! One kiss, and I’ll descend. Juliet : Art thou gone so, love, lord, ay, husband, friend? I must hear from thee every day in the hour, For in a minute there are many days. O, by this count I shall be much in years Ere I again behold my Romeo! (Shakespeare, Romeo and Juliet)
However, people always flout the maxims to achieve the purpose of the conversation. We can find many examples of flouting the first Quality maxim in figures of speech.
5. The Violation in paradox
Paradox
is a statement which is absurd because it is self-evident false.
An interesting example of paradox is found in the opening of Orwell’s Nineteen Eighty-Four:
林纾小说文学翻译论文
林纾小说文学翻译论文在译自狄更斯的《董贝父子》（DombeyandSon）小说中，林纾描述了董贝一家由盛而衰的不幸遭遇以及社会底层人们的生活疾苦，希望以此引起人们的深刻反思，从而改良政治，推动社会变革。
在《迦茵小传》（JoanHaste）、《巴黎茶花女遗事》（Ladameauxcamélias）、《块肉余生述》（DavidCopperfield）、《离恨天》（PauletVirginie）等小说中，都传递出对西方社会自由、平等婚恋观的肯定，表现出强烈的反封建礼教色彩和人文精神。
而同时，林纾为使译作被广大读者所接受，他在翻译过程中适时迎合主流意识形态、考虑国人的心理接受水准，对原著内容进行删减或改编。
在《黑奴吁天录》的《例言》中，林纾曾写道：“是书言教门事孔多，悉经魏君节去原文稍烦琐者，本以取便观者”。
因此，在不影响情节叙述的前提下，他将书中原著作者抒发宗教情怀、宣扬宗教力量的大篇幅相关基督教义的描写大量删去，以剔除宗教局限性对作品思想意义的影响。
此外，为迎合国人的阅读习惯，将大量细致的环境描写、人物心理描写删减或缩译以突出作品的故事情节。
例如，《块肉余生述》开篇第一章原著作者关于医生的127个词的大段描写，被林纾仅以“医生平惋不杵人，亦不叱狗”11个字一笔概括，堪称经典。
同时，为顺应我国传统儒家思想“以孝治天下”“百善孝为先”的价值理念，林纾还将很多原著的书名加以中国化转译，例如，将英国作家哈葛德的《蒙特祖马的女儿》（Montezuma’sDaughter）译为《英孝子火山报仇录》、将大畏克司蒂穆雷的TheMartyredFool译为《双孝子喋血酬恩记》、将狄更斯的《老古玩店》（TheOldCuriosityShop）译为《孝女耐儿传》、将Dr.JohnsonandHisFather译为《孝子悔过》等。
第二，林纾还采用异化策略，在坚持使用古文笔体翻译西文小说以挽救古文逐渐衰亡命运的同时，积极改良章回体等文言叙事传统，借鉴西方文学元素，介绍浪漫主义、现实主义等西方文学的创作手法，以通过“以彼新理，助我行文”赋予古文更加丰富的价值和表现力，另外，在译作的序跋或注释中将中西文学作家、作品进行比较，开启了中西文学比较之先河，为革新我国传统文学观念、改良创作方法注入新的活力。
The analysis of the characters in Oliver Twist 《雾都孤儿》人物分析
2.1Charles Dickens
CharlesDickens was born on February 7,1812, in Portsea, England. His parents were middle-class, but they suffered financially as a result of living beyond their means.At 11 years old, as his fatherwasin debt, the family was put in a debt prison. Forced by the plight, he had become a child labor in a boot and shoe cream workshop. Themiserable experience in his young mind left psychic trauma, not only his deep concern and sympathy for the unfortunate children, and prompted him to struggle to escape poverty. As a young adult, he worked as a law clerk and later as a journalist. His experience as a journalist kept him in close contact with the darker social conditions of the Industrial Revolution, and he grew disillusioned with the attempts of lawmakers to alleviate those conditions.
