一、1、原文:他是赵辛楣的来头,辛楣最初不肯来,介绍了他,说他是留学德国的博士,真糊涂透顶!他自己开来的学历,并没有学位,只是个各国游荡的―游学生‖,并且并非学政治的,聘他当教授太冤枉了!(钱钟书- 围城)Not wanting to come himself, Hsin-mei had at first recommended Fang, saying Fang was a returned student with a doctorate from Germany. What absolute nonsense that was! According to the resume sent by Fang himself, Fang had no degree at all and was nothing but a student drifter who had led a life of dissipation one country after another. Furthermore, Fang had never even studied political science. To hire Fang as a professor would be an injustice!翻译笔记:留学生&游学生―游学‖旧时指到外地或外国求学,与―留学‖是同一意义,但是这里的―游学‖相比―留学‖,实则有点贬低方鸿渐,严肃的学习意味则有所减淡。

原文也说得很清楚,方鸿渐并没有取得学位。

由此,―留学生‖与―游学生‖在这里的表达当然也要是不一样的。

要将两者区分开来时,―留学生‖通常译为student studying abroad, returned student,―游学生‖则可如译文中的a student drifter。

再来熟悉两个常见词:公费(自费)留学生 government funded (self-supporting) student外国留学生 foreign student (studying in China)真糊涂透顶!What absolute nonsense that was! 需要注意的是:nonsense是抽象名词,前面不可加a,也没有复数形式nonsenses。

《围城》英译选句

《围城》英译选句

《围城》英译选句原文:苏小姐理想的自己是:“艳如桃李,冷若冰霜,”让方鸿渐卑逊地仰慕而后屈伏地求爱。

谁知道气候虽然每天华氏一百度左右,这种又甜又冷的冰淇淋作风全行不通。

(钱钟书- 围城)翻译关键词:艳如桃李,冷若冰霜,华氏一百度“左右”译文:Miss Su, who pictured herself in the words of the familiar saying, "as delectableas peach and plum and as cold as frost and ice," decided she would allow Fang to humbly gaze at her in admiration and then prostrate himself to beg for her love. Who would have thought that while the temperature hovered around 100 degrees every day, this sweet, cool ice cream manner of hers was completely ineffective. (美Jeanne Kelly, Nathan K.Mao <译> –Fortress Besieged)资料个人收集整理,勿做商业用途翻译笔记:艳如桃李,冷若冰霜* 这句话出自于《苍鹰击割爱》。

一般用来形容女子,容貌艳丽而态度严肃。

文中译为as delectable as peach and plum and as cold as frost and icedelectable是一个GRE的词汇,常用在来说食物美味的,或者某件事或人是令人愉快的。

例如:What delectable dinner it is!这顿晚餐真是美味极了!还有什么词语可以来形容女子美貌的呢?是不是想到了“沉鱼落雁,闭月羞花”?沉鱼落雁makes the fish sink and wild geese fall闭月羞花a beauty which obscure the moon and make flowers blush对啦?小编小哈扯开一下,大家知不知道,这两个词是形容哪四位古代美女哒?华氏一百度“左右”* 这里特别指出左右,是不是有点奇怪?左右无非就是left and right?哈哈,我们来看,文中是怎么翻译的。

钱钟书 翻译 例句

钱钟书 翻译 例句

钱钟书,一座文化昆仑,一代博学鸿儒。

他博学多能,兼通数国外语,学贯中西,在文学创作和学术研究、翻译三方面均做出了卓越成绩。

钱钟书的翻译恣肆传神信属鬼工。

他译英国诗人拜伦写给情人的一封信,走笔典雅,一不留神,竟超过了原文,成了倾诉离别之苦的绝唱;也完美地实践了他提出的翻译的“化境”(既能不因语文习惯的差异而露出生硬牵强的痕迹,又能完全保存原有的风味)之说。

拜论原文:Everything is the same, but you are not here, and I still am. In separation theone who goes away suffere less than the one who stays behind.钱钟书译文:此间百凡如故,我仍留而君已去耳。

行行生别离,去者不如留者神伤之甚。

译文用典浑然天成,丝毫不露翻译之痕;令人玩味再三,拍案叫绝。

从1950年到1956年,钱先生几乎没有文章发表。

这六七年时间,一个大学问家怎能无论著问世?一直让学界感到不可思议。

原来在这段时间里,钱钟书先生担任《毛泽东选集》英译委员会主任委员。

刘继兴考证,钱钟书先生曾在1955年填写的《中国作家协会会员表》中说:“自1950年7月起至去年(1954)2月皆全部从事《毛泽东选集》英译工作,故无暇顾及其他活动”。

《毛泽东选集》是毛泽东思想的集中体现。

把“毛选”四卷准确地译成英文,是极为严肃的政治任务。

谁能领衔担此重任,学贯中西的钱钟书先生自然是最合适的人选了。

钱钟书当年从清华考取牛津大学留学生时,其考试成绩名列榜首。

他在牛津大学爱克赛特学院潜心攻读英国文学,其时牛津大学出版一套“东方哲学、宗教、艺术丛书”,聘请钱钟书担任特约编辑,他是编辑组中惟一的一个中国学生,其英文水平可见一斑。

钱钟书的学术代表作《管锥编》中征引西方学者和作家达千余人,征引包括数种语言的著作1780多种。

很多引用的外文是钱钟书先生凭他超人的记忆默写出的。

林纾的翻译[钱钟书][最新]

林纾的翻译[钱钟书][最新]

林纾的翻译钱钟书汉代文字学者许慎有一节关于翻译的训诂,义蕴颇为丰富。

《说文解字》卷六《口》部第二十六字:“囮é,译也。

从‘口’,‘化’声。

率鸟者系生鸟以来之,名曰‘囮’,读若‘譌é’。

”南唐以来,小学家都申说“译”就是“传四夷及鸟兽之语”,好比“鸟媒”对“禽鸟”的引“诱”,“譌”、“讹”、“化”和“囮”是同一个字1。

“译”、“诱”、“媒”、“讹”、“化”这些一脉通连、彼此呼应的意义,组成了研究诗歌语言的人所谓“虚涵数意”(Polysemy,manifold meaning)2,把翻译能起的作用(“诱”)、难于避免的毛病(“讹”)、所向往的最高境界(“化”),仿佛一一透示出来了。

文学翻译的最高理想可以说是“化”。

把作品从一国文字转变成另一国文字,既能不因语文习惯的差异而露出生硬牵强的痕迹,又能完全保存原作的风味,那就算得入于“化境”。

十七世纪一个英国人赞美这种造诣高的翻译,比为原作的“投胎转世”(the transmigration of souls ),躯体换了一个,而精魂依然故我3。

换句话说,译本对原作应该忠实得以至于读起来不像译本,因为作品在原文里决不会读起来像翻译出的东西。

因此,意大利一位大诗人认为好翻译应备的条件看来是彼此不相容乃至相矛盾的(paiono discordanti e incompatibili e contraddittorie ):译者得矫揉造作(ora il traduttore necessariamente affetta ),对原文亦步亦趋,以求曲肖原著者的天然本来(inaffettato ,naturale o spontaneo )的风格4。

一国文字和另一国文字之间必然有距离,译者的理解和文风跟原作品的内容和形式之间也不会没有距离,而且译者的体会和自己的表达能力之间还时常有距离。

就文体或风格而论,也许会有希莱尔马诃区分的两种翻译法,譬如说:一种尽量“欧化”,尽可能让外国作家安居不动,而引导我国读者走向他们那里去,另一种尽量“汉化”,尽可能让我国读者安居不动,而引导外国作家走向咱们这儿来(Entweder der Uebersetzer lässt den Schriftsteller möglichst in Ruhe und bewegt den Leser ihm entgegen,oder er lässt den Leser möglichst in Ruhe und bewegt den Schriftsteller ihm entgegen )5。

围城翻译阅读笔记6

围城翻译阅读笔记6
翻译评析:
可以说这段译文显示了译者高超的语言能力,它不但理解准确,表达到位,而且成功再现原文中的隐喻,保存了它们之间的衔接。譬如“赤身露体”和“伤及国体”,译文以“exposed body”和“body politic”与之相对,让人充分体会到译者的苦诣匠心:不但注意传情达意,而且注意音韵和谐———连续使用两个“body”,以照应原文中的两个“体”(“露体”和“国体”),从而做到音、形、意三者有机的统一。此外,“心头起火,口角流水”在中文里有夸张色彩,其实口角未必真的流水,中文里这是一虚指。译文以“burn with lewd desire”将之压缩,颇似中文“欲火中烧”,可以说此译已是“辞足意达。”其他如“top”对“抹胸”,“attire”对“妆束”,“crack joke”(俚语)对“说笑”以及“without stitchon”对“一丝不挂”都较为贴切和生动,翻译的相当到位,传达了原文当中的幽默与风趣。
钱钟书(2004:117)
译文:
It’s such a pity that while these items of information were an very interesting, they could not be used in the lecture. He would have to read something else.

钱钟书经典美文《窗》翻译详解

钱钟书经典美文《窗》翻译详解

钱钟书经典美文《窗》翻译详解钱钟书先生的这篇散文说的是窗子,但是其用意绝不仅仅是说说窗子而已,而是要以窗子来比喻生活、比喻人生。

从语言上看,《窗》延续了一贯的钱派手法,用词平实、普通,没有长句,没有什么复杂结构,非常从容地叙述、说理,却又紧紧地扣住了主题。

这样的特点对翻译构成的难度不言而喻,翻译中应当时时充分考虑上述特点,尽量在译文中体现出来。

下面我们就以《窗》这篇散文的前两段为例,来谈谈汉译英中可能遇到的问题。

汉译英翻译:窗 Random Thoughts on the Window又是春天,窗子可以常开了。

春天从窗外进来,人在屋子里坐不住,就从门里出去。

不过屋子外的春天太贱了!到处是阳光,不像射破屋里阴深的那样明亮;到处是给太阳晒得懒洋洋的风,不像搅动屋里沉闷的那样有生气。

就是鸟语,也似乎琐碎而单薄,需要屋里的寂静来做衬托。

我们因此明白,春天是该镶嵌在窗子里看的,好比画配了框子。

It is spring again and the window can be left open as often as one would like. As spring comes in through the windows, so people——unable to bear staying inside any longer——go outdoors. The spring outside, however, is much too cheap, for the sun shines on everything, and so does not seem as bright as that which shoots into the darkness of the house. Outside the sun-slothed breeze blows everywhere, but it is not so lively as that which stirs the gloominess inside the house. Even the chirping of the birds sounds so thin and broken that the quietness of the house is neededto set it off. It seems that spring was always meant to be put behind a windowpane for show, just like a picture in a frame.同时,我们悟到,门和窗有不同的意义。
