长句汉译英的几种处理方法

长句汉译英的几种处理方法

长句汉译英的处理方法通常包含:顺句译法、反序译法、拆句译法、综合译法。

下面给出若干实力说明,请读者体会。

Examples:1. “九龙壁”,建于1756年,全壁用五彩琉璃瓦砌成,两面各有蟠龙九条,姿态生动,反映了我国劳动人民的创造才能。

The Nine Dragon Screen, built in 1756, was made of colorful glazed tiles. The screen, with nine lively dragons on either side, reflects the great creativity of the Chinese working people.2.公园的中心——琼岛,周长l,913米,高32.8米,是1179年(金代)用挖海的泥土堆成的。

The center of the park is Qiong Island, 32.8 meters high and 1913 meters in circumference. It was made in 1179 (in the Jin Dynasty) with the earth that came from the digging of the lake.3.五四运动的杰出的历史意义,在于它带着为辛亥革命还不曾有的姿态,这就是彻底地不妥协地反帝国主义和彻底地不妥协地反封建主义。

五四运动所以具有这种性质,是在当时中国的资本主义经济已有进一步的发展,当时中国的革命知识分子眼见得俄、德、奥三大帝主义国家已经瓦解,英、法两大帝国主义国家已经受伤,而俄国无产阶级已经建立了社会主义国家,德、奥(匈牙利)、意三国无产阶级在革命中,因而发生了中国民族解放的新希望。

The May 4th Movement was an anti-imperialist as well an anti-feudal movement. Itsoutstanding historical significance is seen in a feature which was absent from the Revolution of 1911,namely, its thorough and uncompromising opposition to imperialism as well as to feudalism. The May 4th Movement possessed this quality because capitalism had developed a step further in China and because new hopes had arisen for the liberation of the Chinese nation as China's revolutionary intellectuals saw the collapse of three great imperialist powers, Russia, Germany and Austria-Hungary, and weakening of two others, Britain and France, while the Russian proletariat had established a socialist state and the German, Hungarian and Italian proletariat had risen in revolution.4.第一次世界大战后,帝国主义对中国加紧侵略,北洋军阀政府对外妥协投降,对内残酷压迫人民,给中国带来了深重的民族危机。

2. The rich soil of river-made plains favoured the growth of a thickly settled farming population, and this farming population had been united into a highly civilized kingdom.肥沃的河流冲积平原使定居的农业人口不断增长,他们已经联合成一个高度文明的过度。

顺译法
• 是采用原序对译法,也就是顺着往下译( 但不是字 字对应译) 。有些汉语句子的内容结构与英语表 达方式比较一致,在翻译时则可按照原文顺序进 行翻译。这种方法多用于单一主语的长句,但在 译文中要分清句中的信息重心。 • 汉语的信息重心在逻辑关系上。而英语句子主要 信息放在突出位置,次要信息作为辅助性的描写 或叙述手段。 • 所以汉译英时,应该把汉语隐性主次关系发掘出 来,译成英语的主次表达方式。
• 当他们活着一天,总要尽量多工作、多学 习,不肯虚度年华,不让时间白白地浪费 掉。( 2010 年TEM8) • 分析: 单一主语,语义的表述顺序英汉语一 致,故顺译。--“总要尽量多工作、多学习” 是“他”活着时的动作行为,因而译为主 要的表达方式,其它部分译为非谓语动词 形式。 • As long as they are living,they always work and study as hard as possible, unwilling to dream their life away,let alone waste even a single moment of their lives.

逆着或基本逆着原文的词序或句序进行翻译,词序

1、Just as Darwin discovered the law of development of organic nature, so Marx discovered the law of development of human history: the simple fact, hitherto concealed by an overgrowth of ideology, that mankind must first of all eat, drink, have shelter and clothing, before it can pursue polities, science, art, religion, etc.; that therefore the production of the immediate material means of subsistence and consequently the degree of economic development attained by a given people or during a given epoch form the foundation upon which the state institutions, the legal conceptions, art, and even the ideas on religion, of the people concerned have been evolved, and in the light of which they must, therefore, be explained, instead of vice versa, as had hitherto been the case.正像达尔文发现有机界的规律一样,马克思发现了人类历史的发展规律,即历来被繁茂芜杂的意识形态所掩盖着的一个简单事实:人们首先必须吃、喝、住、穿,然后才能从事政治、科学、艺术、宗教等活动;所以,直接的物质生活资料的生产和一个民族或一个时代的一定的经济发展程度,便构成为基础,人们的国家制度,法律的概念,艺术以至宗教概念,就是从这个基础上发展起来的,因而,也必须由这个基础来解释,而不像过去那样做得正好相反。

英语长句的翻译技巧

英语长句的翻译技巧

英语长句的翻译技巧英语长句是很复杂的句子,很多人觉得在翻译长句时很是吃力。

那么英语长句有哪些翻译方法媕娿?下面由店铺为大家整理的英语长句的翻译技,希望大家喜欢!英语长句的翻译技巧1.顺译法顺译法是指在处理一些叙述层次依次相连,跟汉语相近的长句时,按原句的自然顺序进行翻译,并根据具体情况,适当增加或省略有关的连接词。

例如:例一:Visual cues from audience members can indicate that a speech is dragging, that the speaker is dwelling on a particular point for too long, or that a particular point requires further explanation.听众的眼神可以表明,演说过于拖沓,演说者在某一点上讲的太多,或者在某一点上还需要作进一步的解释。

例二:But art history focuses on much more than this because art reflects not only the political values of a people, but also religious beliefs, emotions, and psychology.但是艺术历史注意的不仅仅是这些,因为艺术反映的不单是一个民族的政治价值观,而且还有他们的宗教信仰、情感和心理特点。

PART2.倒译法有时英语长句的结构层次与汉语相反,要从英语原文的后面译起,自下而上,颠倒次序进行翻译。

一般来说,英语长句不符合汉语习惯的情况比较多,所以在翻译实践中,倒译通常要多于顺译。

例一:It remains to be seen whether the reserves of raw materials would be sufficient to supply world economy which would have grown by 500 percent .如果世界经济真的以5倍于现有的速度增长,那么原材料的储备是否能充分满足其需求,尚不得而知。
