地道美语

当别人在你旁边罗嗦个没完,你烦透了,说―You are so boring ―.(你真烦!)。―Shut up !‖(闭嘴!)自然没错,可人家受得了吗?不如来一句―Oh, come on .Give me a break !‖ (帮帮忙,让我歇歇吧!)这多地道、多幽默。 要想说人―气色好‖。―You look fine !‖当然不错,可如果你说‖You’re in the pink !‖就妙得多了,实际上,在英语口语中,表示颜色的词用起来非常形象生动。 ―他精力充沛‖美国人说:―He is bouncy.‖而不说―He is energetic ‖,牢记一些日常对话中的活句式是你一把必备的钥匙。 如:久仰,―I get mind of you ―.比‖I heard a lot about you.‖轻松得多。 代问他人好当然能用‖Please remember me to your sister .‖ 或‖Please give my best w ishes to your father ‖不过,若是很好的朋友,何不说,―Please give my love to Jim。‖ 在中国可不能随便说―我想你‖,然而,当和西方人分手时说―I will miss you .‖要比说―Goo d-bye‖或―See you soon‖有趣得多,不妨一试。 有人开会迟到了,你若对他说―You are late .‖,听起来象是废话,若说―Did you get lost ?‖,则更能让他歉然,可别说成―Get lost!‖那可是让人滚蛋的意思。 别人征求你的意见,问能否开窗户等,你要说―You can do that .‖就有点土了,用一句―Do you have the time? ‖实际上,问他人的姓名,地址都可以这么用:―May I have you na me?―要比‖What’s your name ? ‖礼貌得多,不过警察例外。 别人问你不愿公开的问题,切勿用―It’s my secret ,Don’t ask such a personal question .‖回答,一来显得你没有个性,二来也让对方尴尬。你可以说―I would rather not say .‖(还是别说了吧!)。 有时候,你想说什么,可说是想不起来,你可以说―Well …‖―Let me see‖―Just a moment ‖或―It’s on the tip of my tongue.‖等,想比之下,最后一个句型是最地道的。 交谈时,你可能会转换话题,不要只说―By the way ‖,实际上,―To change the subject‖―B efore I forget‖―While I remember‖―Mind you ‖都是既地道有受欢迎的表达。 遇到你不懂的问题时可别不懂装懂,―I know‖可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍―I know‖可能是中国人用得最多,而美国人最不能接受的一句话。当一美国教师向你解释某个问题时,你如果连说两遍―I know‖,我敢保证,他不会再跟你说什么了。用―I know ‖或―I got it ‖就顺耳得多,要是不懂就说―I’m not clear about it .‖不过如果你会说―It’s past my understanding‖或―It’s beyond me .‖你的教师定会惊讶不已的。 要想将地道习语熟练地运用于口语,下面内容,不可不读: ☆a black sheep 败家子 绵羊一般为白色,一旦成了黑色的绵羊,一定是个―败类‖。 Eric is a black sheep ,splashing one million dollars in a few years . 艾瑞克是个败家子,几年就挥霍了一百万美金。

(完整版)中西翻译理论整理汇总,推荐文档

翻译理论整理汇总 翻译腔(translationeses)是在译文中留有源语言特征等翻译痕迹的现象,严重的翻译腔使译文读起来不够通顺。出现翻译腔有时是很难免的。形成翻译腔有以下几个原因:1)英汉语言本身的不同,包括句型结构等,在翻译时如果不能做到自由转换就会有种不是地道目标语的感觉。2)英汉文化的不同,不同的文化背景下,单词或习语有时会出现偏差甚至零对等(zero-correspondence)。有时只讲词对词的反应就会出现翻译腔。3)译者自身水平。奈达的功能对等就要求译者注重译文对读者的影响,好的译文让读者感觉是母语的写作、实现功能的对等。Venuti主张同化和异化的结合,通过同化让读者获得相识的反应,通过异化使读者领略异国语言和文化。译者应该提高自己翻译水平,在翻译策略上实现功能对等,从而尽量避免翻译腔的出现。 1. 中国的翻译理论家 严复、茅盾、鲁迅、朱光潜、傅雷、钱钟书 1)严复 信、达、雅——faithfulness、expressiveness、elegance/gracefulness 2)茅盾 他也主张“直译”,反对“意译”,他认为汉语确实存在语言组织上欠严密的不足,有必要吸引印欧语系的句法形态。但是矛盾与鲁迅观点同中有异,他认为“直译”并不是“字对字”,一个不多,一个不少。因为中西文法结构截然不同,纯粹的“字对字”是不可能的。 3)鲁迅 鲁迅的“宁信而不顺”是“凡是翻译,必须兼顾两面,一当然是力求易解,一则保存着原作风姿”,这是鲁迅的基本思想。针对当年那种“牛头不对马嘴”的胡译、乱译以及所谓“与其信而不顺,不如顺而不信”的说法(梁秋实),提出了“宁信而不顺”这一原则,主张直译,以照顾输入新表现法和保持原作的风貌。他还认为,翻译一要“移情”、“益志”,译文要有“异国情调”,二要“输入新的表现法”,以改进中文的文法,在当时主要表现为改进白话文。必须强调的是,鲁迅其实是主张翻译要通顺,又要忠实的。只是二者不可兼得的情况下,“宁信而不顺”。 4)林语堂 他是在中国议学史上第一个最明确地将现代语言学和心理学作为翻译理论的“学理剖析”的基础的。了解翻译的三条标准:忠实、通顺和美。 5)朱光潜 他的翻译标准是:第一,不违背作者的意思;第二,要使读者在肯用心了解时能够了解。 6)傅雷的“神似说”(spirit alikeness) 傅雷对翻译有两个比喻,一是“以效果而言,翻译应该像临画一样,所求的不在形似而在神似”。二是就手法而言“以甲国文字传达乙国文字所包含的那些特点,必须像伯乐相马,要得其精而忘其粗,在其内而忘其外”。

2019年纯正地道美语,英语口语入门学习材料

2019年纯正地道美语,英语口语入门学习材料篇一:英语口语学习实用方法帮你说出地道美语 英语口语学习:实用方法帮你说出地道美语 现实生活中,不少英语学习者发现在交际过程中有时不能很好表达自己的思想或理解别人的情感,会说出闹不少笑话的Chinglish(中国式英语),怎样才能避免这种情况呢?以下几点供你参考。 一、了解西方国家的文化和风土人情并强调了解中西文化差异才能使交际有效 如:Jackisagreenhandatdoingthiswork.(杰克做这种工作没有经验)这里“greenhand”意思是“生手”、“没有经验”,而不是“绿色的手”之意。England是个岛国,船是重要交通工具,为保养船只,常用与海水一样的绿色油漆来漆船。一个不熟练的油漆工,工作时常会双手粘满油漆。了解了这一背景,“greenhand”之意就不一言自明。 二、学会在适当的环境中使用适当的语言

语言环境在很大程度上制约着用词。要注意在不同的语言环境中使用适合上下文的词,使思想连贯、内容完整。如:Ofcourse!这一常用词组,“同学,今年过年你回家不?”“ofcourse!"也许你这样回答似乎看来并没有问题,但老外会理解成“你这不是废话吗?我不回家干什么?”因为ofcourse本来就有对方已经知道的意思。 三、学会判断交际时哪些语言形式可接受,哪些不可接受 我们常会给对方提建议,提建议的目的是让别人接受我们的建议。当然,对方是否接受取决于与对方的关系和建议的可行性,但是要避免使用带有命令口气的词语和方式。如:“Youmust/should…”等,而用婉转语气,恰当的语言会在很大程度上影响对方接受建议与否。 如:“Whydon'tyou…?”,“Whynot…?”,“You'dbetter….”“Doyouthink…?”等。 Whydon'tyou/Whynotspendmoremoneyonbooks?(为什么不在书上多花些钱?) You'dbetterdoyourhomeworkallbyyourself.(你最好独立完成作业)
