翻译的过程2
理解什么？
• 理解语言现象 译者必须上下有联系地理解原文的词汇含 义、句法结构和惯用法等。 Eg. 1. Suddenly the line went limp. “I’m going back,” said Kurth “We must have a break somewhere, wait for me. I’ll be back in five minutes.”
Which one is better?
• Translate literally, if possible, or appeal to free translation. • 能直译就尽量直译。直译能保存原作的某 种比喻手法或修辞手法，因而能达到与原 文近似的语言效果。 • 不能直译就采取意译。如果译文不能以与 原文相同的形式来再现原文的内容，只好 意译。
Literal translation
• 直译是指既忠实于原文内容又忠实于原文 形式的翻译方法（原文的比喻、形象和民 族或地域色彩）。 • 直译是把忠实于原文内容放在第一位，把 忠实于原文形式放在第二位，把通顺的译 文形式放在第三位的翻译方法。（许渊冲， 1978）
• We were moved to tears by his words. • 直译不是死译或硬译 • We saw an acrobat standing on his head.
Necessity of free translation
• 1. He had about as much chance of getting a job as of being chosen mayor of Chicago.

翻译的过程通常包括理解、表达和校核三个阶段。
在翻译实践中，理解是表达的前提，但理解与表达通常是互相联系、相辅相成的统一过程，不能截然分开。
译者在理解原文的同时，也在选择表达方式；在表达的同时，又会进一步加深理解。
Three steps of translation翻译的三个步骤1．理解理解是翻译过程的第一阶段。
它既包括对语言现象、文化现象的理解，又包括逻辑关系的理解，对有可能发生歧义的语句要善于分析，进而做出正确判断。
例1：He allowed the father to be overruled by the judge, and declared his own son guilty. ( overrule: rule against)译文1：他允许法官驳倒父亲，宣布他自己的儿子有罪。
译文2：法官的责任感战胜了父子私情，他还是宣判（自己的）儿子有罪。
