新英汉翻译课件教程 Chapter 8 语态转换译法

C. 顺译成 “是……的” 结构
• 英语句子要着重表示的不是受事者受到了某个行 动这样一个事实本身,而是与这个行动有关的一 些具体情况,如时间、地点、方式、方法等。也 就是说,句子里强调的是行动的静态而不是动态 的含义。这样就可以顺译成汉语的“是……的” 的句式。其框架为“受事者——是——动词—— 的”。用这种译法来表现原文陈述的意义,显得 简便灵活。 • 例1:That ridiculous idea was put forward by his brother. • 【译文】这个怪念头是他哥哥想出来的。
• 例3:My holidays afternoons were spent in ramble about the surrounding country. (Washingtonபைடு நூலகம்Irving) • 【译文】每逢假日的下午,我总要漫步周 围的乡村。 • 例4:Illness must be correctly diagnosed before they can be treated with medicine. • 【译文】疾病必须先确诊,再用药。
C. 译成 “叫、让、由、受、遭到、受到、 予、予以、加、加以、引以、为……所、 经……所” 等字句,用以加强说话、表达 语气。
• 例1:You have been wetted in the rain. • 【译文】你叫雨淋湿了。 • 例2:The γ-rays are not affected by an electric field. • 【译文】γ射线不受电场影响。
• • • • •

• 例4:Language is a precious possession; it has, in fact, been called the door to knowledge. Knowing how to use language effectively allows us to communicate more clearly, listen more critically, and read more efficiently. Beyond those practical benefits, an interest in words and their mastery provides a lifelong source of pleasure. • 【译文】高超的语言水平乃宝贵财富。诚然,语 言是打开知识宝库大门的钥匙。语言运用得心应 手,便能说得清楚,听得明白,看得真切。推敲 词字,斟酌语句,受益匪浅,其乐无限。

英汉汉英翻译实训教程Chapter One Introduction to Translation

[点评] :
(1)译文1中,well-paved确是“铺设得很好的”,可是,一见到well或good
[译就译文成1“]:好铺”,设显得得很语言好贫的乏公。事路实经上过,英一语排里排的这整两洁个的词在,汉现译代时有的很房多屋译法,。 如:a这w些ell房-be屋ha坐ved落gi在rl“树举中止得。体的姑娘”
[译文]: 我们都会想念他的,但我们祝愿他退休后快乐,长寿。 4. He has enough money to burn.
[译文]: 他有花不完的钱。 5. Why did you set the wolf to keep the sheep?

• 这类翻译标准或原则的共同特点是:翻译既要“忠实”又要 “通顺”,即译文必须既要考虑到原作者又要考虑到译文的 读者。
• 所谓忠实,首先指忠实于原作的内容。译者必须把原作的内 容完整而准确地表达出来,不得有任何篡改、歪曲、遗漏阉 割或任意增删的现象。其次还应保持原作的风格——即原作 的民族风格、时代风格、语体风格、作者个人的语言风格等。 译者对原作的风格不能任意破坏和改变,不能以译者的风格 代替原作的风格。

[注]:表面上看, 原译似乎完全正确, 而且在商务英语的课本中亦常有此写 法。然而,就正式合同而言, 原译则不够准确、严谨, 甚至存在严重隐患或漏 洞。 [改译]: The total contract value is US $ 3, 200, 000. 00 (Say: the 1. 在日常用语中 $通常是指 US$, 即美元 , 但也可代表其他某些货币 , 如HK$, United States , Dollars Three Million Two Hundred Thousand Only). Can$等。因此, 译文中准确的货币符号应为US$。 2. 原译中金额数字的写法也不够严密, 根据原文的文义, 译文中的金额应为 大写或者大小写,即便只用小写,也应加上小数点后的两位,即 3,200,000.00 。 3. 在合同金额较大的情况下, 如果金额数字只是小写, 则易出现差错, 而且 小数点(.) 和分节号(,) 容易混淆, 如稍有不慎, 就会导致严重后果。

货币金额
合同价款和支付条款是对外经贸合同主要条款之一, 对合同各方关系重大,必须明确规定。 合同金额数字应高度准确、缜密, 无懈可击。 但在这些条款的翻译中仍出现不少问题, 最为典型的是 有关货币金额的译文不够规范、严谨, 存在漏洞,如货币符 号的写法不完整、译文中缺少大写、漏写小数点的后两位以 及混淆小数点和分节号等等。

例1:Having discovered an unknown island, they wintered upon it. (G.A.Lensen: Russian’s Eastward Expansion) 【译文】他们发现了一个无名小岛后,便住了下 来,在那里过冬。 【解析】这是个“主-谓”结构的简单句,译文的 靓点是“wintered upon it”,“winter”用作名词是 “冬天”,用作动词译为“过冬”。“过冬”肯定 是住下来过,因此增加了“住下来”使句子顿时鲜 活。 比如“shadow”我们对它的认识就是“阴影、影 子”,但“Shadow him and see what is going to happen.”却是“跟踪他看看会发生什么”,它用 作动词时意思却变为“如影随形地跟踪”。

1.无论是中国还是美国,都不会缩小贸易的重要性。 2. 几乎是毫无意识地,我用手指抚摸着我所熟悉的 叶片和花朵,这新长的叶子和新开的花朵迎来了南 方美好的春天。 3. 话说,人生幸福只需三条:有所爱,有所为,有 所盼。 4. 爱丽丝无所事事,跟姐姐一起闲坐岸边,开始感 到厌倦了。姐姐正在看书,她瞥了一两眼,但是那 书上并没有图画或对话。爱丽丝想,一本书中如果 没有图画或是对话,那它又有什么用呢?
【译文】让我们回到密西西比去,回到亚拉巴马去, 回到南卡罗来纳去,回到佐治亚去,回到路易斯安 娜去,回到我们北方城市中的贫民区和少数民族居 住区去。要牢记,这种状况是能够,也必将改变的。 我们不要陷入绝望而不可自拔。 朋友们,今天我对你们说,在此时此刻,我们 虽然遭受种种困难和挫折,我仍然有一个梦想。这 个梦想是深深扎根于美国的梦想中的。 我梦想有一天,这个国家会站起来,真正实现 其信条的真谛:“我们认为这些真理是不言而喻的: 人人生而平等。” 【解析】译文再现原文交际情景,选词组句紧扣原 文,给读者描述了一件发生在异国他乡的事件。译 者运用直译手法,刻意保留原文的语言和文化差异, 文化色彩,使译文“洋气”一点。直译可以缩短民 族文化交流的差距。

• 2. 如果异化译法不能完全达意,或者不能完全通畅,则可 考虑汉语的行文习惯,做出一定的归化处理。 • For example: • To those visitors who come from countries where social relationships develop more slowly during a longer period of time, the American way may seem very frightening, too personal, and rude. • 【译文】在一些国家里,居民的社会关系是要长期慢慢地 培养的,游客习惯了这种情形,一旦到了美国,可能觉得 美国人的方式可怕,过分强调个人,没有礼貌。”
