I. Definition of Amplification
Amplification means supplying necessary words in our translation on the basis of accurate comprehension of the original. As a matter of principle, a translator is not supposed to add or subtract any meaning from the original work. This does not mean, however, that a translator should refrain from supplying necessary words to make the version semantically accurate and idiomatic in the target language. Precisely, it is for the purpose of “faithful representation” of the thought of the author that we often resort to “amplification”. This is because English and Chinese are different languages and each has its own historical and cultural background. Besides, many ideas, idiomatic expressions and shortened words, etc. that are well understood by the natives can hardly make sense to people abroad. Therefore, it is unimaginable for a translator to stick to the original pattern without alteration.

In the evening, after the banquets, the concerts and the table tennis exhibitions, he would work on the drafting of the final communique. The first requisite of a good citizen in this Republic of ours is that he shall be able and willing to pull his weight.
* I had imagined it to be merely a gesture of affection, but it seems it is to smell the lamb and make sure that it is her own. (Ann Blackmore, Lambing Time) 我原以为这不过是表示亲昵,但现在看来，这是为了闻一闻羊羔的味道，来断定 羊羔是不是自己生的。 (Attention: tense in English needs to be added by adverbs to show different time in Chinese.) The English language is in very good shape. It is changing in its own undiscoverable way, but it is not going rotten like a plum dropping off a tree. * To attract foreign investment, the United States must offer higher interest rate, adding to domestic borrowing and financing costs, which boost inflation. 为了吸引外资，美国必须提供较高的利率，而这样就会加重内债和金融开支，最终 导致通货膨胀。 （Attention: for logic purpose of the sentence; to show relationship between the elements of the sentence.)

第4讲_英汉翻译中的增词法和减词法(2014)解析
1.1 语法的需要（英汉差异） 1.2 语义的需要（意义表达）
1.3 语用的需要（修辞、文化）
1.1 语法的需要（英汉差异）
1.1.1英语中的名词为复数形式时 (1) I saw bubbles rising from under the water. 译文：我看见一个个水泡从水下升起。 (2) The first electronic computers went into operation in 1945. 译文：第一批电子计算机于1945年投入使用。
1.2 语义的需要（意义表达）
1.2.3 不定式作目的或结果状语
We made transistors by different means only to get the same effect.
我们用不同的方法制造晶体管，结果得到相同的效 应。 当动词不定式和不定式短语表示目的或结果状语时， 通常就可在其前面加：“为了”，“要”，“以 便”，“就”，“从而”，“结果”等词。
逻辑上的混乱：
既然“那件事没有发生过”，又怎么谈得上 “令人吃惊”呢？
What hasn’t happened in the past is a former FBI agent that is charged with colluding with the wise guys in a murder. That doesn’t happen and that’s shocking.
Marry的宾语也可以不直接是人： She married a fortune. “她嫁了个有钱人”，（颇有点“傍大款”的意思。） She married into purple. “她嫁到了一个显赫之家”。

示，较少用连词或关系代词．而英语通常需要用连词关系代词来表明
增词和减词
Amplification and Omission
一、增词法（Amplification）
增词（译）法就是指在翻译时按照句法上的需要在
译文中增加一些原文中虽无但有其意的词。 增译的目的是为了更加忠实通顺地表达原文的内容，
而决不是无中生有地随意增加。
1.增补主语
汉语里无主语的句子相当多，汉译英时 常常要根据上下文的意思选择适当的代 词或名词补出主语。
之间的逻辑关系．因此汉译英时增补的情况很多．例：
酒令智昏
物极必反
• When • Once
wine is in, wit is out.
翻译增词法(amplification)
语义性增补（semantic amplification）
为了使语义明确，畅达通顺，符合汉语的习惯，翻译中常常根 据意义的需要增加动词、名词、形容词、副词、量词、范畴词、 概括词，以及表示名词的负数、动词时态等方面的词。
1.Mary washed for a living after her husband died of acute pneumonia.
码丽在丈夫患急性肺炎去世后，靠给人洗衣服维持生活。
2。When I came to I was in the water, swimming automatically, though I was about two thirds drowned.
当我醒来时，发觉自己在水里，虽然浸得半死，却本能地 浮着。

2。The sky is clear blue now the sun has flung diamonds down on meadow and bank and wood. 此时已是万里蓝天，太阳把颗颗光彩夺目的钻石洒向草原，洒 向河岸，洒向树林。（增补形容词）

Any person not putting litter in this basket will be liable to a fine of $ 5. 任何不把凌乱的东西放入这个筐内而任意乱扔的人将被处以五美圆 罚款。（增补any person后省略的leaving litter about instead of这一部分。）

你(结构性增补)对整个(语义性增补)黑人种族抱有偏见(结构性)。
那天晚上，我说你是个白人种族主义者，道理就在这里。

例2.其实地上本来没有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。
Actually the earth had no roads to begin with,but when many men pass one way,a road is made.增译法定义：为了使译文忠实地表达原文的意思与风格并使译文合乎表达习惯，必须增加一些在修辞上，语法结构上，语义上或语气上必不可少的词语。
一.翻译省略成分引起的增译(一)翻译为避免重复而出现的省略成分的增译例1.Histories make men wise;poets witty;the mathematics subtle;natural philosophy deep.读史使人明智，读诗使人灵秀数学使人周密，科学使人深刻。
例2.She makes a good teacher，as she has a good student.她原先是个好学生，现在是个好教师。
(二)翻译由于英语语法规则而出现的省略成分时的增译We suggest that the test(should)be done by12o’clock.我们建议这项实验应在12点之前完成。
二.语义修辞上需要的增译1.增加动词例1.He seized the chance for peace between them.他抓住了实现他们和解的机会。
例2.Testing is a complicated problem,so be careful.进行测试是一个复杂的问题，因此，得格外仔细。
2.增加名词例1.他的科学著作在英语国家中得到广泛阅读。
His scientific works were widely read in English-speaking countries.例2.领导人对两国关系非常关心。
Our leaders have taken interest in the development of our bilateral relations.英语中有许多抽象名词，这词若直译，不能给人予具体明确的含义。
因此，汉译时要加上“性”，“作用”，“反应”，“方法”，“现象”，“心理”等措词。
tension紧张局势readability可读性complexity复杂局面lightheartedness轻松愉快的心境敌对情绪(行为)hostility转化过程transformation嫉妒心理jealousy傲慢态度arrogance例3.Much of our morality is customary.我们大部分的道德观念都有习惯性。
例4.The doctor will get more practice out of me than out of other ordinary patients.医生从我身上得到的实践经验，会比从其他普通病人身上得到的多。
3.增加形容词例Deflation has now reached unprecedented level.通货紧缩已经发展到了空前严重的地步。
4.增加状语或副词例1.Theory is something but practice is everything.理论固然重要，实践尤其重要。
例2.Time drops in decay,like a candle burnt out.时间一点一滴地逝去，犹如蜡烛慢慢燃尽。
5.复数名词汉译引起的增译(1)增加迭词(overlapping words)flowers朵朵鲜花ripples层层涟漪cheers阵阵欢呼声(2)增加数词(numerals)或其他词例1.Lovers wander hand in hand,paying no attention to the packs of children.情侣携手漫步，绝不理睬那三五成群的小孩子。
例2.Likewise,we can not use one prescription for all ills.同样，我们不能用同一处方来医治百病。
例3.You must know the properties of the instrument before you use it.在使用这种仪器前，必须弄清它的各种性能。
6.增加量词例1.There stands a high building by the river.河边上屹立着一幢高大建筑物。
(名量词)例2.I was extremely worried about her,but this was neither the place nor the time for a lecture or an argument.我真替她万分担忧，但此时此地，既不宜教训她一番，也不宜与她争论一通。
(动量词)7.增加代词英语中广泛使用代词，来避免词语的重复出现；而重复原词，不用代词则是汉语所特有的一种语法手段。
例1.各人有各人的长处。
Each man has his merits.例2.没有调查就没有发言权。
He who makes no investigation and study has no right to speak.8.增加连词(1)汉译英时在英语中，由于采用形合法，短语与短语、句与句之间多用关联词。
而汉语中相当的语句采用意合法过渡，表示逻辑关系的过渡词汇用得少。
因此，汉译英时要加上关联词。
例1.你不去我也不去。
I won’t go if you are not going.例2.虚心使人进步，骄傲使人落后。
Modesty helps one to go forward,whereas conceit makes one lag behind.(2)英译汉时英语(尤其科技英语)中，有些句式中的因果、转折及顺理连接等关系并不都是通过逻辑性语法词来表示，而是通过语法习惯或用词习惯来体现。
因此，汉译此类句子时应增译某些关联词。
例1.Being a good conductor,copper is generally used to conduct electricity.由于铜是一种导体，因此，一般用来导电。
例2.The life of this controller could be significantly improved with the proper using.如果用得好，这台控制器的寿命还能大大延长。
9.增加概括性或分述性词语例1.Listening,speaking,reading and writing are closely related.听说读写这四个方面紧密相关。
例2.There are three basic ways of producing or storing electricity:by generator,by battery,or by accumulator.电的生产和储存基本方法有三种：一种是用发电机；一种是用电池；一种是用蓄电池。
10.中英文化差异引起的增译例1.While it may seem to be painting the lily.I should like to add somewhat to Mr.Alistair Cooke’s excellent article.我想给阿利斯太库克先生的杰作加几笔，尽管这也许是为百合上色，费力不讨好。
例2.Every family is said to have at least one skeleton in the cupboard.俗话说，衣柜里藏有骷髅，见不得人的事家家有。
