第十六讲

广告的翻译

广告的定位：独特性、诱导性、针对性、口语化

常见手段：

1. 巧设问句。每30句话就有一个是疑问句，容易引起注意。

例子：Only gas gives you

Tankful after tankful of hot water

3 times faster

Why gas gives you

tankful after tankful of hot water

3 times faster

Would you be more careful if it was

you that got pregnant?

Wouldn’t you protest

if shell ran a pipeline through this

beautiful countryside?

They already have!

You can be sure of Shell.

2. 使用省略句，诱发联想

例子：they laughed when I sat down

at the Piano

but when I started to play!

3.使用祈使句，发出召唤

例子：come to where the flavor is

come to Marlboro country!

4.突出利益

例子：HOW TO WIN FRIENDS

AND INFLUENCE PEOPLE

5.利用反论

例子：Ugly is only skin-deep.

6.活用成语、名句或谚语

例子：A Mars a day keeps you work, rest and play.

Now you can have your cake and diet too.

广告的翻译技巧

1.直译法。形式与内容统一。

例子：At 60 miles an hour

the loudest noise in this new Rolls-Royce

comes from the electric clock.

时速60英里的这种新式“劳斯莱斯”轿车最响的噪音是来自车内的电钟。

They laughed when I sat down at the Piano. But when I started to play! 当我坐到钢琴旁时，他们开始狂笑。但是当我开始演奏时！

2. 意译法。达到预期目的。

例子：Women Can Indeed Go Bald. 谁说女子不秃头？

A Mars a day keeps you work, rest and play. 每天一颗火星，让你万事称心。

Can’t Beat The Real Thing. 挡不住的诱惑！

3.四字结构法。朗朗上口，便于记忆。

例子：Taste that beats the other Colds. (pepsi-cola 广告) 百事可乐，冷饮之王

Good to the last drop. (Maxwell 咖啡广告) 滴滴香浓，意犹未尽

FIYTA Watch, Once Possessed, Nothing More is Expected. 飞亚达表，一旦拥有，别无所求

4.套译法。借用成语、谚语等耳熟能详的表达。

例子：I’ll do a lot for love, but

I’m not ready to die for it.

情爱诚销魂，生命价更高

新闻文体的翻译

新闻的类型：

狭义：新闻报道

广义：新闻报道+报刊杂志文章

一、新闻标题的特点与翻译

新闻报道一般由标题headline、导语lead和正文body组成。标题是新闻的眼睛，是文章内容的浓缩与概括，其通常具有简洁、醒目、清晰的特点，并在词汇、语法和修辞上独具特点。

1.词汇特点

①多用短小词

有限字数表达新闻内容。例如：

支持：back,少用support; 被捕：多用back,少用arrest; 解雇：多用axe,少用dismiss.

Exporters Back Resolution; Governor to Axe Aid?; Suspects Held

Tie=relation; top=exceed; step=process; check=examine; ease=lessen

②广泛使用缩略词

首字母缩略词：PC; WTO; IMF; PLO; UN; UNESCO;

缩短缩略词：mag=magazine; hi-tech=high-technology

③虚词的省略

省略虚词，节省篇幅，言简意赅，简洁明了。例子：

U.S Attacked;

Clinton Inauguration Most Expensive Ever;

Nuke Protesters Convicted;

2.语法特点：多用“新闻现在时”

动词的恰当使用给人以形象生动、跃然纸上的感觉。

新闻标题常用的新闻现在时主要包括三种：一般现在时、将来时和现在进行时

①现在时有新鲜感、现实感和直接感。例：

Comeback gives China a sensational Thomas Cup Win

Street Battle in Heavy Shelling as Peace Talks Proceed

②将来时多用不定式来表达

Japan to Help Elderly Jobless

China to Continue Fiscal Program to Aid Economy

③现在分词表进行

Deposits, Loans Rising in Shanghai

SK Car Sales Surging Up
