浅谈张培基英译散文的词汇翻译技巧——以《白杨礼赞》为例

2402018年41期总第429期ENGLISH ON CAMPUS浅谈张培基英译散文的词汇翻译技巧——以《白杨礼赞》为例文/陈敏【摘要】著名翻译家张培基先生不仅在英译散文方面造诣颇深,而且在翻译理论上也做出了杰出贡献,所以研究他的翻译技巧具有重要的现实意义。
本文选取张培基先生《英译中国现代散文选》(一)中的《白杨礼赞》(张培基,2007)这篇译文作为分析文本,将从词汇上对译文翻译技巧进行分析,以期探析张培基先生的散文翻译技巧,为笔者之后的翻译学习提供借鉴之法。
【关键词】张培基;翻译技巧;《白杨礼赞》【作者简介】陈敏(1992.03.09-),女,苗族,湖南麻阳苗族人,现阶段在浙江大学读研,硕士学位,研究方向:近代散文翻译。
前言张培基先生是著名的翻译家,他对中国近代散文的翻译做出了重大贡献。
许多学者已经对张培基先生的译文从进行了大量研究,但他们主要的研究方向是张培基先生的翻译风格,少有学者从单篇入手,深入分析他的翻译技巧。
另外,学者对《白杨礼赞》的译文研究少之甚少,所以笔者认为以《白杨礼赞》为文本研究张培基的翻译技巧颇具实际意义。
本文首先将从整体上对原文进行分析,进而从词汇方面对张培基先生《白杨礼赞》的译文进行探究。
一、《白杨礼赞》《白杨礼赞》是现代作家茅盾所写的一篇散文。
作者描写了生长在西北不屈不挠的白杨树,通过白杨树对比象征勤劳勇敢的北方农民,歌颂他们在民族解放斗争中坚强不屈的革命精神。
《白杨礼赞》通篇立意高远,结构严谨,引人深思。
尤其引人注意的是文章用词精炼,四字熟语,且中文特色化的表达居多。
因此,要翻译好《白杨礼赞》,并非易事。
二、翻译技巧探析1.名词的翻译。
(1)当汽车在望不到边际的高原上奔驰,扑入你视野的,是黄绿错综的一条大毡子。
When you travel by car through Northwest China’s boundless plateau, all you see before you is something like a huge yellow-and-green felt blanket.在翻译“扑入视野”的时候,张培基先生用动词来翻译名词“视野”一词,“all you see before you”的表达将静止的名词转换为具有动态的动词,更加生动地体现了作者的所见之景,给予读者一种动态之感,笔者认为此处名词转动词的翻译技巧堪称完美。

张培基散文翻译的归化策略探因——以《英译中国现代散文选(一)》为例

第 31 卷 第 7 期2018 年 7 月江西电力职业技术学院学报Journal of Jiangxi Vocational and Technical College of ElectricityVol.31 No.7Jul.2018张培基散文翻译的归化策略探因——以《英译中国现代散文选(一)》为例周娜(长江大学,湖北荆州 434000)摘 要:《英译中国现代散文选》系列丛书自出版以来,在国内翻译界造成了很大影响。
该丛书由我国著名翻译学家张培基先生所撰稿的译文集结出版,受到了英语专业尤其是翻译专业学生的喜爱。
以翻译目的论为理论基础,从意译、增译、减译和替换四个方面探讨了张培基译文(以下简称“张译”)中所使用的归化翻译策略,认为张译中的漏译、误译、增译、改译等现象是译者为了达到某种翻译目的所采用的归化翻译策略的体现,是散文翻译中较好的处理方式。
关键词:散文翻译;归化策略;目的论中图分类号:H315 文献标识码:A 文章编号:1673-0097(2018)07-0153-020 引言《英译中国现代散文选》系列丛书不仅为国内学者与专业学生进一步研究翻译理论与技巧提供了丰富多彩的实例,也为国外部分研究中国“五四”时期知识分子的思想状况的学者提供了素材。
多年以来,国内有许多学者与翻译专业学生在研究及学习张培基的翻译思想和翻译作品,尤其是他的散文翻译作品。
如朱曼华(2000)对张培基的《英译中国现代散文选》系列丛书给予了高度评价,认为该书为国内学者及翻译专业的学生提供了许多丰富的实例,并称其为一本不是教材的好教材。
不过,也有学者及相关专业学生质疑甚至批评张培基在散文英译过程中出现漏译、改译以及增译的现象。
如硕士生唐萍(2015)在其毕业论文中谈到她认为张译的增译没有必要,其采用的增译手段是违背了对原文的“忠实”,是不值得倡导的。
本文以翻译目的论为理论指导,以《英译中国现代散文选(一)》为案例,从增译和减译两个方面探讨张译中使用的归化翻译策略,旨在论证张译中的漏译、误译、增译、改译等现象并不是对原文的“不忠”,而是他为了达到某种翻译目的而采用归化策略的具体体现,应该认同其对翻译策略的选择,肯定归化策略在散文翻译中的优势。

英译中国现代散文选——张培基艰难的国运与雄健的国民——李大钊历史的道路,不会是坦平的,有时走到艰难险阻的境界。
这是全靠雄健的精神才能冲过去的(1)。
一条浩浩荡荡的长江大河,有时流到很宽阔的境界(2),平原无际,一泻万里(3)。
有时流到很逼狭的境界,两岸丛山迭岭,绝壁断崖,江河流于期间,回环曲折,极其险峻(4)。
民族生命的进展,其经历亦复如是。
人类在历史上的生活正如旅行一样。
旅途上的征人(5)所经过的地方,有时是坦荡平原,有时是崎岖险路(6)。
志于旅途的人,走到平坦的地方,因是高高兴兴地向前走,走到崎岖的境界,俞是奇趣横生(7),觉得在此奇绝壮绝(8)的境界,俞能感到一种冒险的美趣(9)。
中华民族现在所逢的史路,是一段崎岖险阻的道路。
在这段道路上,实在亦有一种奇绝壮绝的境至,使我们经过此段道路的人,感得一种壮美的趣味,是非有雄健的精神的,不能够感觉到的。
我们的扬子江、黄河,可以代表我们的民族精神,扬子江及黄河遇见沙漠、遇见山峡都是浩浩荡荡的往前流过去,以成其浊流滚滚,一泻万里的魄势(10)。
目前的艰难境界,那能阻抑我们民族生命的前进。
我们应该拿出雄健的精神,高唱着进行的曲调,在这悲壮歌声中,走过这崎岖险阻的道路。
要知(11)在艰难的国运中建造国家,亦是人生最有趣味的事……。
National Crisis vs Heroic NationLi DazhaoThe course of history is never smooth.It is sometimes beset with difficulties andobstacles and nothing short of a heroic spirit can help surmount them.A mighty long river sometimes flows through a broad section with plains lyingboundless on either side,its waters rolling on non-stop for thousands upon thousands ofmiles.Sometimes it comes up against a narrow section flanked by high mountains andsteep cliffs,winding through a course with many a perilous twist and turn.A nation,in thecourse of its development,fares likewise.The historical course of man’s life is just like a journey.A traveler on a long journeypasses through now a broad,level plain,now a rugged, hazardous road.While adetermined traveler cheerfully continues his journey upon reaching a safe and smoothplace,he finds it still more fascinating to come to a rugged place,the enormouslymagnificent spectacle of which,he feels,is better able to generate in him a wonderfulsensation of adventure.The Chinese nation is now confronted with a rugged and dangerous section of itshistorical course.Nevertheless,there is also in this section a spectacle of enormousmagnificence that inspires in us passers-by a delightful sensation of splendor.And thisdelightful sensation,however,can only be shared by those with a heroic spirit.The Yangtse River and the Yellow River are both symbolic of our national spirit thetwo mighty rivers negotiate deserts and gorges until their turbid torrents surge forwardwith irresistible force.The present national crisis can never obstruct the advance of ournational life.Let us brace up our spirits and march through thisrugged,dangerous road tothe tune of our solemn,stirring songs.The greatest joy of life, mind you,is to build up ourcountry during its most difficult days.注释:李大钊此文载于1923年12月20日《新国民》第一卷第2号上,短小隽永,堪称一首诗意盎然的抒情散文诗。
如何利用张培基《英译中国现代散文选》快速提高翻译水平

【新祥旭考研】如何利用张培基《英译中国现代散文选》快速提高翻译水平考研学子辛苦啦!新祥旭考研的老师为大家准备了各大高校的考研资料,方便高校学子使用。
望大家参考分享认真备考。
这是我在短暂的考研复习时间里总结出的快速提高翻译水平的方法,练习材料是大家都知道的张培基的《英译中国现代散文选》。
很多同学都知道张培基的《英译中国现代散文选》是练习汉译英的绝好书籍,可到底怎么来用这套书却不是每一个同学都知道的。
大多数同学都采取先自己翻译然后对照范文的方法。
这种方法并不错,但要真正行之有效,关键在于对比过后的反思和总结。
很多同学对比完之后,并不能充分理解范文的优胜之处,或即使理解了,并不能变成自己的东西,下次还是按自己原来的套路去翻译。
这样的练习不如不做。
我们做一篇翻译就要有一篇的收获,而这个收获关键在于对比范文之后的反思和总结。
本人在备考初期,也是先自己翻译后对比范文,看过就扔一边儿了。
后来再翻译之前的东西时,发现自己还是没有多少进步。
认真反思之后,发现自己缺少对范文的透彻理解。
于是我花费了很多心思在研究范文上,并把范文的每一个短语每一个句型每一个用法,都一一查阅,弄明白它们的详细用法,并记录在笔记本及书上。
时时翻阅,以便记忆。
后来再翻译之前的文章,看着中文,那些总结的翻译知识点就一一浮现在脑海中,基本上能够再现范文。
我复习翻译的时间很短,但因为方法得当,还是取得了不错的成绩。
在这里,我把自己学习翻译的具体步骤写下来,跟大家分享,希望能够帮助同学们在翻译中取得不错的成绩!第一,依照范文,逐字逐句考察,只要是有价值的翻译点,都一一按顺序记录在笔记本上,并根据相应顺序在范文上标出数字,以便能够快速便捷的在原文中找出该翻译点。
第二,对范文中出现的短语、生僻单词等,我都会在笔记本中对其进行详细阐述,包括中文解释、双语例句等。
对于有多种用法的短语,我也会列出最常用用法,并配以例句。
只有这样,在学习中才会举一反三,全方位掌握这些翻译点。
翻译美学视角下的散文英译策略——以张培基《英译中国现代散文选

Vol.19No.14引言张培基是中国著名翻译家、教授,28岁时便在北京外文出版社从事编译工作,一生译出了无数经典译作,为中外文化交流作出了很大贡献,也给其他译者提供了很好的借鉴。
他译注的《英译中国现代散文选》收录其翻译生涯中的经典译作,让读者大饱眼福,也让译者深受启发。
本文以张培基的《英译中国现代散文选(一)》为研究对象,探讨如何在翻译中国散文时感受、传递和创造美,旨在为译者提供一个更广阔的翻译视角,启发翻译爱好者的翻译创造力,不断增强其文化自信,促使其译出更多、更好的作品,从而使中国文化更好地走出去。
一、翻译美学及许渊冲的“三美”翻译思想(一)从美学到翻译美学对美学的定义是美学的最大难题。
美学一词来源于希腊语,意为“对感官的感受”。
苏格拉底(Socrates,469B.C.—399B.C.)及诡辩家希庇亚斯(Hippias,460B.C.—399B.C.)曾就美学一词的定义进行过一次激烈的辩论,仍未能定义何为“美”。
最后,苏格拉底无可奈何地说,“美是难的”(董广杰等2011:12)。
被誉为“美学之父”的亚历山大·鲍姆加登(Alexander Baumgarten,1714—1762)是第一位使美学成为一门学科并将其定义为“对好坏的评判”的学者(毛荣贵2005:1)。
18世纪,实验美学在欧洲兴起,其宗旨是在具体事物中发现美的本质再寻找普遍标准来定义美,而此后欧洲大陆学者将美学定义为人们的某种需要被满足之后产生的愉悦感受,即对美的真实且自然的情感流露(董广杰等2011:20-21)。
在哲学视角下,美能使人感知欢乐、满足等情感。
古罗马时期西塞罗(Marcus Tullius Cicero,106B.C.—43B.C.)主张“辞章之美”,泰特勒提出“忠实之美”等(蒋雯倩2018:73),它是人们找寻愉悦的反射,是抽象的、实在的,可以被发现、被概括。
与西方美学有所不同,中国美学关注的是主体性审美实践,注重意象的表现形式,不太关注微观透视(刘宓庆2005:79-80)。
汉英翻译中比喻的翻译研究——以张培基《英译中国现代散文选》为例

ENGLISH ON CAMPUS2022年38期总第634期汉英翻译中比喻的翻译研究——以张培基《英译中国现代散文选》为例摘 要:文学体裁包括小说、诗歌、戏剧以及散文。
在浩如烟海的中国文学宝库中,每一种文学体裁都有其独特的魅力和特色。
在这些文学体裁中,散文因其短小精炼、语言朴素而备受广大读者的喜爱。
翻译家张培基采用归化为主、异化为辅的翻译策略;归化是更为常用的翻译策略,占主导地位;异化作为补充的翻译策略,适用于汉语散文英译。
本文将选取《英译中国现代散文选》中高频率出现的修辞手法,具体分析张培基在翻译明喻和暗喻时所采取的翻译策略,从而验证其采取的翻译策略是否与其翻译的目的相符。
通过比较两对密切联系的翻译策略,作者认为直译的适用范围比异化更广,而归化则比意译更为常用。
关键词:张培基;《英译中国现代散文选》; 修辞手法;归化和异化作者简介:盖栩晨,女,山东理工大学,英语笔译硕士研究生在读,研究方向:典籍翻译。
随着中外交流的日益频繁和迅速,翻译成为连接中外的重要桥梁。
纵观中国近现代翻译事件的历史,不难发现,外文尤其是英汉翻译在数量和质量上都占据主导地位,而汉译外活动则少之又少且缺乏被学者关注的注意力。
为了增强文化自信,我们必须学会如何向其他国家的人民解释我们博大精深的文化。
但是我们怎样才能达到目标呢?答案肯定是通过翻译。
众所周知,翻译在促进文化交流中起着至关重要的作用。
文化是无形的,它渗透到一种语言中,而语言则主要表现在文学作品中。
因此,翻译文学作品成为传播文化的重要渠道。
