翻译的基本理论复习题
一、翻译的基本理论复习题(一)列举至少三种翻译标准(中、西均可),并指出是由谁提出的。
中国的:严复,信雅达三字标准; 林语堂:忠实,通顺,美的标准傅雷,神似;茅盾:意境论;钱钟书:化境秀明:韵味说外国的:泰特勒的三原则(1.译文应完全复写出原作的思想2.译文的风格和笔调应与原文的性质相同3.译文应和原作同样流畅)费道罗夫的等值论:等值即译文和原文等值,表现在读者看了原文和译文之后,其感受的等值性。
奈达的等效理论奈达从社会语言学和语言交际功能观点,提出“最接近的,自然的等效翻译”概念,认为翻译必须以接受者服务为中心,要根据不同接受者的要求对译文作相应调整。
(二)翻译的主要方法有_直译_和_意译_。
“直译”就是忠实的再现原作思想容,并尽量保存原作语言形式的表现方法。
原文如在形、义上与译语全同或是基本相同的可以直译,原语中的比喻或形象能为译语读者所接受的有时也可以采用直译。
“意译”是忠实传达原作思想容而放弃原作形式。
多强调译文的效果,不求表层次形式对应,只求语言在深层次中的对应。
不是主观臆断,是以不背离原文为限度,注意翻译时对原文结构的调整,用规的译语表达。
(三)列举你所掌握的翻译技巧。
技巧是翻译的具体策略,在直译和意译两大类翻译方法之下,具体的翻译技巧有分切、转换、转移、还原、阐释、融合、引申、反转、替代、拆离、增补、省略、重复、重组、移植等。
再概括起来,可以归结为增、减、移、换四大策略。
(四)列举中、西翻译史上著名翻译家至少十位。
傅雷,季羡林,草婴,鲁迅,绛,朱生豪,谷若,诺思,查普曼,费洛里欧,何兰德,阿瑟伟利,弗兰茨库恩,玄奘、义净、徐寿、善兰、元益、卞之琳、叶水夫、黄龙、茅盾;乔叟、西塞罗、哲罗姆、阿尔弗雷德国王、波伊提乌、诺思(五)谈谈翻译的困难(至少两点)。
首先理解的困难。
汉语和英语都是很发达的语言,以表达丰富细致著称,要理解的准确必须处处细致。
Eg:in the seventh heaven不可按表面译为“升天”本意是“非常高兴”:翻译方法的选择是另一困难。
直译和意译的选择,翻译腔的消除,容与形式的统一都需要熟练的技巧。
(六)中、西语言的主要差异是:语言差异:汉语属于汉藏语系,是表意文字,句子有语调,有形态变化。
英语属于印欧语言,是拼音文字,单词有声调,没有严格意义的形态变化。
汉语语音的一大特点是音节匀称,成双成对。
于是双音节化和四音节化成了现代汉语的主要节奏倾向。
句子差异:由于中西方思惟方式不同,英汉两种语言的词的结合表现为两种性质不同的序列。
英语是开放式序列,在词的组合中,核心词一般居于首位,其限定成分可以随想随加。
而汉语是闭合式序列,在词的组合中,核心词一般位于尾部,限定修饰成分在先,说到核心词,序列便闭合。
(七)一个合格的译者应具备哪些素质?1.扎实的语言功底。
~是保证译文质量的根本。
译者应具有扎实的汉英语言基本功,较强的驾驭两种语言的能力,能正确理解原文,熟练运用本族语的写作能力。
2.丰富的文化知识。
译者应有广博的知识,对各学科有所了解。
除专业知识外,应注意各学科相互渗透,尤其是文学翻译要增强修养。
3.理论与技巧修养。
译者应掌握基本翻译理论和方法,善于灵活运用各种翻译技巧。
4.专业修养。
文章翻译,译者应熟悉所译文本所涉及的专业容。
文学翻译的专业是审美,需要较好的文学功底,懂得艺术规律,运用艺术性语言译出有文学味的作品。
(八)中国大规模的翻译活动是什么时候开始的?我国历史上出现的最早的、具有较大规模的文字翻译活动是佛经翻译。
(九)文学翻译和非文学翻译有什么主要不同点?文学翻译的专业是审美。
需要有较好的文学功底,懂得艺术规律,运用艺术性语言译出有文学味的作品。
(十)翻译为什么要讲究修辞?1.翻译的质量依赖于修辞的质量:翻译中的表达问题,实际上也就是修辞问题,因为修辞就是讲究语言的运用技巧和艺术,如何斟酌词语,锻词造句。
而译者建构译文,表达的完美,译出精品,完美依靠修辞。
2.译文之“神”源于词语之锤炼。
(十一)翻译是忠实主要还是通顺重要?或者两者都重要,为什么?两者都重要,忠实即信守原作的思想容和语言形式。
思想容通常指作品中所叙述的事实,说明的事理,描写的景物以及作者在叙述说明和描写过程中所反映的思想、观点、立场和所流露的感情等。
通顺指译文语言通俗易懂,符合译语规。
忠实和通顺是相辅相成的。
忠实而年通顺,读者看不懂,也就谈不上忠实;通顺而不忠实,脱离原作的容与风格,通顺也就失去了作用,使译文成为杜撰甚至乱译。
(十二)翻译的过程是什么?翻译的过程就是译者从特定的翻译动机出发所进行的解读原作、建构译作的全部活动,这个过程包括理解、表达和修改三个步骤。
这三个步骤是相互循环联系的。
理解要求译者根据一定的语境阅读全文,分析出袁文中的语言意义、言语意义和言语动机,以及各种修辞信息和语境信息。
表达时理解的深化和体现,是将译者对原作的理解通过语言组织的形式呈现出来。
修改是对理解和表达质量的全面检查,是对译文错误的纠正和改进,也会上塑造翻译精品的保证。
(十三)你认为语境在翻译重要吗?为什么?语境是指语言使用和意义生成的环境,分为宏观语境和微观语境。
翻译时既要善于从宏观上运用整体思维方式,对语言运用做整体把握,整体分析,体现出一种语境通关的思想,又注意从微观的角度分析词语的运用,行文及表现的手法,才能保证译文的成功。
(十四)翻译的灵活性体现在哪些方面?灵活的技巧是指技巧的运用在于圆活。
在语法上注重语义结构,词语涵丰富,文句结构流洒自如,词语和句法组织重意合不重形合,句子的语法成分和语法意义也都不显在形态上,而是隐含在语言的总体结构中。
(十五)翻译时需要注意原文中文化因素的传达吗?为什么?异域文化适应本土文化打上文化印记。
地域不同,要求语言表达者采用不同的语言表达方式与之适应,分布在不同地域的人,语言特点不同,在语音上,词汇上语法上都会形成一些差别。
这种差别要求在语言环境表达中做出适当的调整,互相适应。
(十六)四字格的翻译要注意什么?汉语的四字格历经锤炼,言简意赅,常常是已合法的佳作。
翻译转换是,应注意两种语言在这方面的特色。
(十七)翻译理论和翻译实践是什么关系?我们目前所说的翻译理论是通过翻译实践活动经验的总结而提炼出来的,主要用来检验翻译作品,检查翻译活动的效果,而不是用来指导翻译实践。
由于翻译理论是从描写和分析译品中总结出来的,因此理论亦可反过来用于指导对译品的批评与赏析。
翻译理论与翻译实践之间存在着很大的“过节”。
不容置疑,大凡理论总是具有一定难度,一般不如经验直观,与实践的“现实”联系也不紧密,对实践中出现的问题更不可能提供简单快捷的答案。
在许多情况下,由于翻译函和性质不断被重新界定,理论非但没象设想和预期的那样对实践发挥指导作用,反倒使实践变得混乱不堪,亦难以用来评估实践的效果,甚至使实践陷于无所适从的境地。
虽然如此,理论的作用及重要性仍不容抹杀。
(十八)翻译有不必要考虑读者吗?为什么?(十九)翻译是理解重要还是表达重要?为什么?(二十)翻译是传达容重要还是保留风格重要?为什么?(二十一)理解原文,指的是理解原文中的什么?首先解析原作有组织的言语系统,依其文序感知其字,词,句,段,章,篇,进而通晓文章独具的体式和风貌,即把握结构,辨明语体,识别文体,揣摩技法,贯通文气,品味风格,监审文风,欣赏气质,然后提取全文涵的信息,即抓住事料,概括意旨,体会情感,进入境界。
其次要跨越译者与作者的距离,双方只能以文字载体为中介来实现两个心灵的理解转换和情感交流。
再次是跨越译者与社会的距离。
文章文学是作者在一定时代背景下写出的,纵向产生一定的社会影响,读者当时阅读,或隔代阅读,其历史价值和现实意义必有所不同。
一、翻译定义:1. 培基——翻译是用一种语言把另一种语言所表达的思维容准确而完整地重新表达出来的语言活动。
3. 宓庆——翻译的实质是语际的意义转换。
4. 王克非——翻译是将一种语言文字所蕴含的意思用另一种语言文字表达出来的文化活动。
5. 泰特勒——好的翻译应该是把原作的长处完全地移注到另一种语言,以使译入语所属国家的本地人能明白地领悟、强烈地感受,如同使用原作语言的人所领悟、所感受的一样。
6. 费道罗夫——翻译就是用一种语言把另一种语言在容与形式不可分割的统一中所业已表达出来的东西准确而完全地表达出来。
7. 卡特福德——翻译的定义也可以这样说:把一种语言(Source Language)中的篇章材料用另一种语言(Target Language)中的篇章材料来加以代替。
8. 奈达——翻译就是在译入语中再现与原语信息最切近的自然对等物,首先就意义而言,其次就是文体而言。
9. 巴尔胡达罗夫——翻译是把一种语言的语言产物在保持容方面(也就是意义)不变的情况下改变为另一种语言的语言产物的过程。
纽马克——通常(虽然不能说总是如此),翻译就是把一个文本的意义按作者所想的方式移译入另一种文字(语言)。
10. “Translation is the expression in one language (or target language译入语) of what has been expressed in another language (source language 原语), preserving semantic and stylistic equivalences.” --- Dubois11. “Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style.” ---Eugene Nida12. “Translation is a craft consisting in the attempt to replace a written message and/or statement in one language by the same message and/or statement in another language.” --- Peter Newmark 13.Translation or translating is a municative activity or dynamic process in which the translator makes great effort to thoroughly prehend a written message or text in the source language and works very hard to achieve an adequate or an almost identical reproduction in the target language version of the written source language message or text.二、翻译标准1. 翻译的标准概括为言简意赅的四个字:“忠实(faithfulness)、通顺(smoothness)”。

直译是指在翻译过程中,既保持原文的内容,也尽可能保留原文的形式和结构。
例如,将“paper tiger”直译为“纸老虎”。
意译则更注重传达原文的意思,而不拘泥于原文的形式和结构。
比如,“It rains cats and dogs”意译为“倾盆大雨”,而不是直译为“下猫和狗”。
2、谈谈你对翻译中文化因素的理解,以及如何处理文化差异。
在翻译中,文化因素至关重要。
不同的语言往往承载着各自独特的文化内涵。
比如,一些习语、典故、宗教信仰等在不同文化中可能有不同的理解和象征意义。
处理文化差异时,可以采用归化和异化的策略。

形合指句子内部的链接或句子间的连接采用句法手段或词汇手段,意合指句子内部的链接或句子间的连接采用语义手段。
印欧语言重形合,语句各成分的相互结合常用适当的链接词语或各种语言链接手段,以表示其结构关系。
汉语重意合,句子各成分之间或句子之间的结合多依靠语义的贯通,少用连接语,所以句法结构形式短小精悍。
2、有人认为翻译的总体发展趋势是由归化逐步趋向与异化,你是否赞同这个观点归化与异化作为翻译两种主要的翻译方法,一直是翻译界研究和争论的焦点之一。
翻译理论练习题
翻译理论练习题西方译论简介西塞罗:“我不是作为解释员而是作为演说家进行翻译的,不是字当句对,而是保留语言的总的风格和力量。
”泰特勒的“翻译三原则”: 1) 译文应完全传达原作的思想; 2)译文的风格与笔调应与原作属于同一性质;3)译文应具有原作的流畅性。
费道罗夫的等值翻译思想: 1)与原文作用相符(表达方面的等值); 2) 译者所选用的语言材料的等值(语言和文体的等值)奈达的翻译思想:所谓翻译,是指用一种语言中的语言符号解释另一种语言中的语言符号;是指从语义和文体风格上采用最接近而又最自然的同义语再现原文的信息。
他主张把翻译的重点放在译文读者的反应上。
他认为判断译作是否翻译得正确,必须以译文的服务对象为衡量标准。
“衡量翻译质量的标准,不仅仅在于所译的词语能否被理解,句子是否合乎语法规范,而在于整个译文使读者产生什么样的反应。
”英国翻译理论家:纽马克(Peter Newmark)他提出真正的翻译应该充分体现作者的意图。
译者应忠实于原文读者和译文,并根据原文所使用的语言种类来确定原文读者群的特点,从而确定给予目的语读者多少注意力。

No doubt the store was crowded with last-minute Christmas shoppers and the staff were dead beat and longing to get home. Probably all the proper security checks were made before the store was locked and they left to enjoy the three-day holiday untroubled by customers desperate to get last-minute Christmas presents.However ridiculous that may be, our tramp found himself alone in the store and decided to make the best of it. There was food, drink, bedding and camping equipment, of which he made good use. There must also have been television sets and radios. Though it was not reported if he took advantage of these facilities, when the shop reopened he was discovered in bed with a large number of empty bottles beside him. He seems to have been a man of good humor as indeed tramps very commonly are.Everyone else was enjoying Christmas. So he saw no good reason why he should not do the same. He yielded himself cheerfully, and was taken by the police. Perhaps he had had a better Christmas than usual. He was sent to prison for seven days. The judge awarded no compensation to the chain store for the food and drink our tramp had consumed. They had, in his opinion, already received valuable free publicity from the story revealed in the newspaper and on television. Perhaps the judge had had a good Christmas, too.1.The tramp was locked in the store __________.A)for 7 daysB)on purposeC)by accidentD)for security reasons2.It can be inferred from the passage that the underlined phrase “dead beat”in paragraph 1means ______________.A)angryB)exhaustedC)forgetfulD)careless3.Which of the following was uncertain about the tramp after he was locked in the store?A)He watched TVB)He was well fedC)He had a sound sleepD)He had a good drink4.When the tramp was arrested, he ____________.A)was drunkB)felt he deserved itC)made no resistanceD)felt himself wronged5.The judge didn’t award compensation to the chain store because ___________.A)the store was responsible for what happenedB)the report of the event benefited the store a lotC)the tramp had stolen nothing of valueD)the tramp was pennilessPassage TwoOnline distance learning is an instructional system which connects learners with educational resources. Students work on their own at home, at work, or at school and communicate with faculty and other students by means of e-mail, electronic meetings, videoconferencing, chat rooms, instant messaging and other forms of computer-based communication. There are both advantages and disadvantages to online distance learning.There are many benefits to using online distance learning environments. Online education is available all the time, anywhere and to all people. However, there are weaknesses for some learners. The online learner only has the written text and no other face-to-face hints. This may confuse the learner and cause misunderstanding. While distance learning allows for an openness, it is also difficult because it is done by e-mail messages and writing, and therefore may take more time than face-to-face learning. Sometimes the messages can be overwhelming for many online students.Universities, colleges and schools use online distance learning environments. These are important for students who may be unable to attend classes for various reasons like illnesses or busy everyday schedules. Some learners just want to further their studies at home. They enjoy the convenience of home learning as they take regular programs or enrichment classes.Online courses keep learners very occupied at all hours of the day. There are a great many messages and other online resources to read and respond to. Most learners have regular jobs or attend regular school classes on ground as well. However, the benefits are clear. Online distance learning is becoming very popular. Some online classes have become a profitable business as they replace regular traditional means of learning.6.Which of the following is TRUE of the passage about online distance learning?A)It has more disadvantages than advantagesB)It is a learning form based on internetC)It is not available for some studentsD)It has only enrichment classes7.Sometimes online distance learning can be a problem because _______.A)learners can’t afford itB)learners get too many hintsC)it involves excessive writingD)it is not available at the weekend8.One of the good aspects of online distance learning is _____________.A)speedB)convenienceC)easy operationD)variety of instruction9.What kind of students may NOT like online distance learning?A)Those busy with their schedulesB)Those in need of further educationC)Those unable to attend regular classesD)Those in favor of face-to-face teaching10.With regular means of learning, the learners have to study ________.A)at schoolB)on their ownC)at all hours of the dayD)by means of reading and writingPassage 3Invented at the turn of the century, radio ( the transmission of electric signals without wires connecting the points of transmission and reception) became widespread throughout North America and Europe by the 1930s. The early radio was large and cumbersome but over the years the radio has become increasingly smaller and more portable. People now listen to the radio in their cars or carry a walkman when going from one place to another. Radio is perhaps the most convenient of all the media. The influence of the radio began to decline in the 1950s with the advent of television. But many people still consider radio superior in quality when it comes to analytical news programs.On July 1, 1941, the FCC granted broadcasters permission to use commercial to help pay costs. NBC and the Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS) soon began regular commercial broadcasts in New York City.The United States’ entry into World War Two in December 1941 delayed the commercial growth of TV, but broadcasting continued. In fact, CBS was one of the most notable of the early shows that same month----a documentary on Japan’s attack on Pearl Harbor.The manufacture of commercial TV equipment, however, ended almost entirely in 1942. But technical improvements in the laboratory continued at a more rapid pace because government officials thought television might have military uses. During the war, engineers developed new types of phosphors for TV picture tubes that greatly improved brightness and contrast. Clearer glass tubes helped to increase picture clarity.After World War Two ended in 1945, television stations sprang up throughout the United States. The year 1951 saw the first coast-to-coast telecast. A TV boom was underway.But the TV image still differed from the scene being telecast in one significant aspect: the image lacked color. Since the late 1930s, researchers had experimented extensively with color-TV systems. In December 1953, the FCC pave the way for color broadcasting by establishing a standard, and in 1954 color sets went on sale in the United States.1.The radio was invented at the turn of last century, it soon became widespread throughout_________.A)South America and North EuropeB)North Latin America and South EuropeC)North America and EuropeD)South Latin America and East Europe2.Nowadays radio has become ________________.A)increasingly smaller and more portableB)increasingly heavy and inconvenientC)more expensive and less convenientD)bigger and cheaper3.The broadcasters asked the FCC to ______________.A)allow them to make ads in their programsB)allow them to use commercial to help pay costsC)allow them to use non-commercial adsD)allow them to use different frequencies4.During WWII, CBS was famous for one of the early shows which is __________.A) a documentaryB) a music comedyC) a news reportD) a feature story5.During the war, engineers developed new types of phosphors for TV picture tubes that greatlyimproved _____________.A)brightness and contrastB)darknessC)rotation and colorD)sizePassage 4It is hard to predict how science is going to turn out, and if it is really good science it is impossible to predict. If the things to be found are actually new, they are by definition unknown in advance. You cannot make choices in this matter. You either have science or you don’t, and if you have it you are obliged to accept the surprising and disturbing pieces of information along with the neat and promptly useful bits.The only solid piece of scientific truth about which I feel totally confident is that we are profoundly ignorant about nature. Indeed, I regard this as the major discovery of the past hundred years of biology. It is, in its way, an illumination piece of news. It would have amazed the brightest minds of the 18th century Enlightenment to be told by any of us how little we know and how bewildering seems the way ahead. It is this sudden confrontation with the depth and scope of ignorance that represents the most significant contribution of the 20th century science to the human intellect. In earlier times, we either pretended to understand how things worked or ignored the problem, or simply made up stories to fill the gaps. Now that we have begun exploring in earnest, we are getting glimpses of how huge the questions are and how far from being answered. Because of this, we depressed. It is not so bad being ignorant if you are totally ignorant; the hard thing is knowing in some detail the reality of ignorance, the worst spots and here and there the not-so-bad spots, but no true light at the end of the tunnel nor even any tunnels that can yet be trusted.But we are making a beginning and there ought to be some satisfaction. There are probably no questions we can think up that can’t be answered, sooner or later, including even the matter of consciousness. To be sure, there may well be questions we can’t think up ever and therefore limits to the reach of human intellect, but that is another matter. Within our limits, we should be able towork our way through to all our answers if we keep at it long enough and pay attention.1.According to the author, really good science _______.A)would surprise the brightest minds of the 18th century EnlightenmentB)will produce results which cannot be foreseenC)will help people to make the right choice in advanceD)will bring about disturbing results2.It can be inferred from the passage that scientists of the 18th century ______.A)thought that they knew a great deal and could solve most problems of scienceB)were afraid of facing up to the realities of scientific researchC)knew that they were ignorant and wanted to know more about natureD)did more harm than good in promoting man’s understanding of nature3.Which of the following statements is NOT true of scientists in earlier times?A)They invented false theories to explain things they didn’t understandB)They falsely claimed to know all about natureC)They did not believe in results from scientific observationD)They paid little attention to the problems they didn’t understand.4.What is the author’s attitude towards science?A)He is depressed because of the ignorance of scientistsB)He is doubtful because of the enormous difficulties confronting itC)He is confident though he is aware of the enormous difficulties confronting it.D)He is delighted because of the illuminating scientific findings.5.The author believes that __________.A)man can find solutions to whatever questions concerning nature he can think upB)man cannot solve all the problems he can think up because of the limits of humanintellectC)sooner or later man can think up all the questions concerning nature and answer themD)questions concerning consciousness are outside the scope of scientific research完形填空复习题1.Many students find the experience of attending university lectures to be a confusing and frustrating experience.
