略谈谚语的口译

前人对于谚语的笔译已经做了诸多方面的研究，而对于谚语的口译的研究却相对较少。目前出现的对谚语口译的研究多局限于将谚语划分为三大类，而后对每一类举出诸多例子供读者参考，最后再使用传统的翻译方式探讨其翻译方法。本文拟跳出这个框架，以塞莱斯科维奇以及勒代雷提出的“得意忘言”理论为指导来探讨谚语口译的技巧。 1“得意忘言”理论塞莱斯科维奇与勒代雷在其《口译训练指南》一书中提出了“得意忘言”理论。所谓“得意忘言”就是忘记讲话使用的字词，头脑中只剩下对意义的意识状态。从这种意识状态出发，译员完全可以脱离原语的语言形式，自发地表达自己的理解。同时，他们提出翻译的过程包括三个阶段，即话语1—得意忘言—话语2。在这一过程中，如果直接从话语1过渡到话语2而省略得意忘言的过程，那就只能是字句的对应，而不是意义的翻译。由于各种语言文化的巨大差异，字句的对应在有限的情况下是可以接受的，但是在诸多情形之下，这种字与句的对应就有可能使译文晦涩难懂，从而不能在目的语当中产生所预期的效果。有的字词在目的语中没有现成对等的词汇，需要进行必要的解释。有的讲话人因为过于紧张或准备不足而啰嗦重复，词不达意，在这样的情况下，译者同样要对讲话进行必要的整理和补充，以协助讲话人传递信息。而这种解释，整理和补充都需要译员有一个提取意义，跳出语言束缚的过程才能有效完成。 2“得意忘言”理论指导下的谚语口译谚语的翻译一直是困扰口笔译译员的一大难题。对于笔译译员来说，在遇到不会翻译的谚语还可以通过查询相关资料或跟身边的人讨论来得出结果。而对于口译员来说，这种挑战性更大，口译员必须在没有工具书，没有讨论对象的条件下在较短的反应时间内将谚语翻译出来。根据“得意忘言”理论，译者需要脱离原谚语的框架，深层次领会谚语的意义，而后将其用目标语言转述出来。以下将介绍几种常用的口译工作中处理谚语的技巧：当说话人在使用某些表达方式来预先提示他要使用一句谚语的时候，作为译员，在翻译的谚语之前可加上“We have a saying to the effect that”或者“有这样一句话，大意是…”等类似结构。这样做有两个好处，第一，它能够为译者腾出短暂时间在目标语中想出一个意义完全对等的谚语；第二，如果译员短时间内不能在目标语中找到相对应的谚语，那么在这样一个表达之后译员可以用目标语对原谚语进行解释，以传达说话者的意思。例如： Comme l'on dit chez moi,Vingt fois sur le metier remettez votre ouvrage. 对于这条法语谚语，我们可以将其翻译成如下形式： 1）There is a saying in my country to the effect that"Prac-tice makes perfect". 2）There is a saying in my country to the effect that you must go back to your work time and again until you get it right. 上述翻译中，如果从语言的“忠实”性来看，1）句显然要优于2）因为前者保留了原语的“风姿”。但是口译并非像笔译那样注重对语言形式的忠实，它更注重的是意义的传达。以上的两种译法都很好地传达了原语的意义，因而都是可以接受的。有时说话人使用的谚语的意思都是在上下文中简单而明显的。但是有的情况下，说话人会为了达到一种修辞效果而使用一种复杂而且模糊的谚语或修辞性语言来表达一种可以用许多简单方式就可以说明白的直接而浅显的意思。在这种情况下，如果不能在几秒钟的时间内想出一个完全对等的目标语谚语或修辞性语言，直接传达其实质内容也是完全可以为听者所接受的。比如译者想不起来“Time and tide wait for no man”或者“There is no time like the present”这一类的表达去翻译“时不待我”，那么就可以直接使用“Let's not delay.” 又如，“to shoot from the hip”（表示一个人在没有经过仔细思考就说话或采取行动）在现在的法语中并没有相同色彩的对等语言，所以有人直接将其翻译为“reagir instinctivement”(本能地做出反应)。尽管这种翻译舍弃了原谚语的意象，脱离了其语言结构，但是也传达了讲话者所要表达的意义，因而也是能为听众所接受的。当然，用谚语来翻译谚语会显得语言更加精炼，但是译员如果在一个简单的意思上吞吞吐吐，那么就会显得外行。因此，不论是对于谚语还是其他各种形式的语言，译员的主要工作是要在说话人语速控制的有限时间内让听者明白说话人所想表达的主旨。有时候谚语是可以直译的，但是在很多情况下，其意义往往并不是直译可以表达出来的。比如说中国有一句谚语“针无双头利，蔗无两头甜”，有人将其翻译为“A needle is not sharp at both ends，and a sugarcane is not sweet at both sides.”从字面上看来，该翻译既保留了原语的结构和意象又译出了其所蕴含的意思。但是这样的谚语的意思往往不在字表，直译出来的表达往往会使目标语听众一片茫然，觉得前言不搭后语。因此在翻译这样的谚语的略谈谚语的口译龙在波（长江大学外国语学院，湖北荆州434023）摘要：谚语是流传于民间比较简练而言简意赅的话语，多数反映了劳动人民的生活实践经验，而且一般都是经过口头传下来的。它多是口语形式的通俗易懂的短句或韵语。在国际交往中，谚语也因为其短小精炼而被广泛使用。那么如何对谚语进行翻译，尤其是口译成为广大译员的难题。该文拟从口译实际工作出发，对谚语的口译做出些许探讨。关键词：谚语；口译；得意忘言中图分类号：H159文献标识码：A文章编号：1009-5039(2010)12-0186-01 收稿日期：2010-08-05修回日期：2010-09-15 作者简介：龙在波（1985-），男（苗族），湖北恩施人，硕士，主要从事应用语言学及口笔译研究。（下转第188页）

成语的口译

成语的口译方法 1．对成语进行即刻的、现场的翻译不是一件容易的事。中国的成语非常丰富，如果能存储大量的成语双语转换，了解一些成语翻译的方法，对解决成语口译的难题非常有帮助。 2．根据语境，要了解成语的意义和所要传递的内容，翻译出所要表达的意义，而不是字对字的表面对应。理解成语的内涵最为重要。例如：独立自主，自力更生地发展民族经济/to develop our national economy independently and self-reliantly. 用两个副词很好地传递出了原语的含义。中国人民解放军60年的历史，是我军从小到大，从弱到强的发展史/The 60 years history of PLA is a history of its growth in size and strength. 根据原语的含义和上下文的关系，把这两个成语的意义翻译了出来。 3．要审视出成语的褒贬含义，然后译出相关的色彩。例如：埃及人民威武不屈、团结一致，捍卫了独立和主权。/Unyielding and united as one, the Egyptian people have safeguarded their independence and sovereignty./ 这句里的成语是褒义，所以译文的用词也要表现出赞美的色彩。忘乎所以/forget oneself, get swollen-headed 4．不要乱用成语，如果不清楚选择用什么成语，那就用朴实，平淡的语言来表达。例如：你的儿子要去边疆工作，你可千万别拖他的后腿啊。/ Y our son wants to go and work in the frontier region, you shouldn’t hinder him. ( Or hold sb. back, stop sb. from going) 这里的拖后腿不能用pull his leg , 语法对但含义有误。一. 成语在口译中的重要性广义的成语可以包括谚语(proverbs)、成语(idioms)、习语（usage)、俗语(sayings)、格言(maxims)等固定词组(set phrases)。比如在英语中，a rolling stone gathers no moss(滚石不生苔)是谚语，live from hand to mouth是成语，monkey around是习语，Well begun is half done(良好的开端是成功的一半)是俗语。成语是口译工作中经常出现的一个翻译难点。由于成语往往言简意赅、形象生动、寓意深刻、趣味隽永，运用成语可以大大地增强发言的表达力，所以在各种口译场合经常出现成语。特别是在外交活动中，宾主都喜欢引用对方国家的一些古语、诗词、成语等，既可表示对接待国家和人民的尊重友好，也可显示自身良好的文化素养。例如，美国总统尼克松1972年2月首次访华时，在欢迎宴致辞中引用了毛主席的诗词：“So many deeds cry out to be done，and always urgently；the world rolls on，time presses．Ten thousand years are too long，seize the day，seize the hour．”(多少事，从来急；天地转，光阴迫。一万年太久，只争朝夕。)而江泽民主席在1997年对美国进行国事访问时，也援引了美国诗人朗费罗(Longfellow)一首诗中的一句话：“Something attempted，something done．”(有所追求，才有所成功)。1998年美国总统克林顿率团访华时，他在上海交通大学的演讲中也引用了孔子的话“业精于勤；工欲善其事，必先利其器”(The expectations of life depend on diligence; the mechanic that would perfect his work must sharpen his tools．)来勉励莘莘学子勤奋读书；又引用唐代诗人“海内存知己，天涯若比邻”(bosom friend afar，brings long distance near)，表达了增进两国人民友谊的良好愿望。而朱镕基总理在他历年召开的记者招待会上，更是出口成章，妙语连珠。比如他在2002年第十五届人代会结束后的记者招待会上，就以“请大家提问，分秒必争”作为开场白，在随后回答记者的提问中，成语的应用比比皆是，如“我问心无愧”，“老百姓负担不堪，民怨沸腾”，“巧立名目”，“把这个问题追个水落石出”……

引语的口译

习语、引语的口译口译实践中，译员经常会遇到习语、引语的互译。特别是为国家元首、高级官员、文化人士、社会名流做口译时，译员会发现他们在事先精心准备的讲话或随意交谈中, 时常出其不意的借用本国或外国习语，引用名人或名著中的妙语佳句来表达自己的立场、观点或赞颂对方的民族和文化。例如，英国前首相撒切尔和美国前几届总统访华时，都在不同场合的讲话中有意引用中国习语或引语，借以表达他们的立场和观点。美国总统尼克松1972年1月访华时在宴会祝酒词中引用毛泽东主席诗词中的话。他说：Chairman has written: So many deeds cry out to be done, and always urgently; the world rolls on, time presses. Ten thousand years are too long；seize the day，seize the hour! This is the hour. This is the day for our two people… （毛出席写过：多少事，从来急；天地转，光阴迫。一万年太久，只争朝夕！现在就是我们两国人民只争朝夕的时候了……）英国首相撒切尔在她1982年9月的访华讲话中引用唐代诗人的佳句：In a poem addressed to a departing friend, one of your Tang poets said: “provided our friendship survives, distances mean very little; although dwelling on far horizons we can still be as near neighbors. ” （在一首送别朋友的诗中，贵国唐代一位诗人曾写道：“海内存知己，天涯若比邻。”）美国总统里根1984年4月访华时在人民大会堂的讲演中说: We only regret that our visit is so brief that we can only look at the flowers while riding on horseback，But you have a saying from the Book of Han which says: “To see a thing once is better than hearing about it a hundred times.（遗憾的是我们的行程太匆忙，只能走马观花地看一看。但你们在《汉书》中也有一句话，叫做“百闻不如一见”。）他在欢迎宴会的祝词中说：And as a saying from the Book of Changes goes, “ if two people are of the same mind, their sharpness can cut through metal.” （正如你们《易经》中一句话说的那样，“二人同心，可以断金”。）美国总统乔治﹒布什在他1989年2月的访华讲话中说: Let us plant trees together, so that the next generation, yours and ours can sit together in the shade.（让我们来一起种树，这样，我们的后代就能一起在树下乘凉。）美国总统克林顿1998年6月访华时在国宴祝词中说：In so many different ways, we are upholding the teachings o f Mencius, who said: “ A good citizen in one community will befriend the other citizens of the community; good citizens of the world will befriend of the other citizens of the world.” （我们是以如此不同的方式在维护孟子的教导，他说：“一乡之善士斯友一乡之善士，天下之善士斯友天下之善士。”）同样，江泽民主席访美时在哈佛大学的演讲中引用中国古代思想家的话“亲仁善邻，国之宝也。”( Loving people and treating neighbors kindly are most valuable to a country ) 他在为他举行的欢迎宴会的讲话中引用了美国诗人朗费罗的诗句：“只要行动起来，我们每个明天都会比今天进步。”“行动起来吧，让我们马上就开始。”（But to act that each tomorrow finds us farther than today. Act-----act in the living present.）朱镕基总理1999年4月访美时，在一次记者招待会上回答某记者有关人权问题的提问时, 引用了“民为贵，社稷次之，君为轻。”的古语，( The people are the most important element in a state. Next are the gods of land and grain; least is the ruler himself. ) 表明中国向来十分重视人权问题。任何一种语言的习语、引语都与使用该语言的民族的历史、经济、文化、风俗习惯、价值观念、地理位置等密切相关。因此，习语、引语有明显的民族特色，是人民群众智慧的结晶，是经过长期使用而提炼出来的妙语名言。习语、引语准确、快速、流利的互译可以简明、生动、形象、有力地表达说话人的思想、观点和情感，增强语言的魅力和表达效果。习语、
