汉译英 成语的翻译

汉译英 成语的翻译

Strike while the iron is hot. 趁热打铁。 Walls have ears. 隔墙有耳。 Constant dropping wears the stone. 水滴石穿。 Actions speak louder than words.
事实胜于雄辩。
成语翻译要注意的事项
汉语成语的语言特色,即形象鲜明、常用典故、
音韵和谐,翻译时应尽可能地保留这些特色。 然而由于汉英两种语言和文化的巨大差异,汉 语成语的这些特色很难全部在译文中得以再现, 此时译者必须有所舍弃,采取适当的翻译策略 以确保主要信息的传递。 现代翻译学认为,译文与原文在意义上应动态 对应,不要形式对等。因此,从原文的深层意 义出发,汉语句子当中的四字词组在译成英语 时都有可能与英语句中的单词、短语、习语甚 至整句相对应。

Don’t count your chickens before they are hatched. 不可过早乐观。 Every cloud has a silver lining. 天下没有绝对的坏事。 Among so many well-dressed and cultured people, the country girl felt like a fish out of water. 同这么多穿着体面而又有教养的人在一起,这位乡下 姑娘感到很不自在。 She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth; she thinks she can do what she likes. 她生长在富贵之家,认为凡事都可随心所欲。
TRANSLATION APPRECIATION
1.It is too late to grieve when the chance is past. 坐失良机,后悔已迟。 2.It’s never too late to learn. 活到老,学到老。 3.Joy at its height engenders sorrow. 乐极生悲。 4.Justice has long arms.

第四章词语的翻译

第四章词语的翻译

* 大多数地名。 例如: Australia 澳大利亚 New York 纽约 Atlanta 亚特兰大 Miami 迈阿密 * 译入语原来没有的事物,包括科技新词、某 些商标与文化词等 。例如: Dink 丁克 Hippie 嬉皮士 Sauna 桑拿 Shock 休克 Logic jeep sofa tank Pie biscuits
The day was bright, with a fresh breeze blowing. • (三)关联词连词的增减。由于英语的词 与词,句与句之间强调形式连接,因此连 词种类繁多,使用广泛。而汉语的句子结 构注重关系和逻辑顺序,因此对语序固定, 关系自明的短语或句子,就减少了很多连 接词的使用。故英译汉,多减少而汉译英 多增加关联词和连词的使用。 例如:

例如: (4)身体好,学习好,工作好。 Keep fit, study well and work hard. 此句中的“好”不能统统译成 good 或 well,而应根据 keep、study 和 work 这三个动词 在英语中地道的搭配关系 来选词。


(8)鲁贵:他妈的! (兴奋地问着)你们想,你们哪一个对得 起我?(向四凤同大海) 你们哪一个不是我辛辛苦苦养大的? 可是你们哪一件事做的对得起我? (对大海) 你说? (对 四 凤) 你说? (对侍萍) 你也说说, 这都是你的好孩子 啊?……我跟你们一块饿着肚子等死。 你们想想,你们是哪一 件事对得起我?(对大海)……我要是饿死,你是哪一点对得起 我? 我问问你,我要是这样死了? Lu Gui: God almighty! (Heatedly) Just look at you. There's not one of you who can look me in the face! I've worked my fingers to the bone to bring you two up, both of you, but what have either of you ever done to show your gratitude? (To Ta-Hai) Eh? (To Si-Feng) Answer me that! (To Lu-Ma) Or perhaps you can tell me saying that they're your precious children? ... I've just got to say here and starve to death with you! Now just ask yourselves: What have you ever done for me that you can be proud of? ... If I did die, you'd have it on your conscience, now wouldn't you? Eh, if I did die like this? (曹禺《雷雨》 ,王佐 良译)
• Peter Newmark (1981:180)曾一针见血地指 出外语写作或翻译最容易出毛病的地方不是 语法, 也不是词汇, 而是词语的搭配(He [one who writes or speaks in a foreign language] will be "caught" out every time, not by his grammar ... not by his vocabulary ... But by his unacceptable or improbable collocations)。要想译出用词地道、 搭配得当的译文绝非一日之功,需要处处留 心,日积月累,培养良好的英语语感,逐步 提高自己的英语水平。
• 词语与其所处的语言环境中其他语言成分的搭配关 系能帮助我们辨析多义词的义项, 因 为处在特定 搭配关系中的多义词,其义项往往会变得单一化、 明朗化。 • 例如“红包”一词, 在不同的语境中有着不同的 含义: • 1.过年、婚庆、生日等场合所送的红包指的是“礼 金” ,应 译成 gift money; • 2.单位在节假日时发的红包指的是“奖金” ,应 译作 bonus; • 3.而行贿时所送的 现金也称作“红包” ,这时应 用 bribes 一词反映出“红包”的真实所指。
• 由此可以看出,只有根据语境来选 择适当的译文用词,才能保留文章 的精髓,做到美感功能和信息功能 的对等。
3.2.3 根据语言语境消除歧义
• 语言和思维都具有模糊性的特点, 因此歧义 现象在语言中普遍存在。 歧义往往源于词语 本事的多义性以及语境中各语言成分之间不 同搭配关系所带来的变化。 • 例如: • “火车走了两 小时” (到底是火车“离开 了”还是“运行了”两小时?); • “这个人谁都敢打” ; (是“大家都 敢打 这个人” “这个人敢去打任何人” ; 还 是 ?)
庵和春天时节一样静,白的墙和漆黑的门。 the convent was as peaceful as it had been that spring, with its white wall and shining black gate. 译者在翻译这句时既可理解为庵好像春光 一样静谧,也可理解为此时的静修庵跟春 天时的静修庵一样宁静。如何正确判断? 当然必须结合上下文来排除歧义。
• (2)据传说,五十年代中期,渠那边庄子有一个黄花闺女,为 了抗拒父母包办的婚姻, 大白天就跑过斗渠到这屋里来上吊。 这是个上吊的好地方,屋顶上没有顶棚,弯弯扭扭的木 头椽 子露在外面,随便哪根椽子都可以搭上绳子。 • As a story goes in the mid 1950s there lived in a hamlet over the other side of the gully a maiden who was in protest against her parents„ dictatorially arranged marriage escaped in broad daylight across the gully, slipped into this hut -- and hanged herself! There was no ceiling, only crooked, bare rafters overhead, conveniently accessible for a rope to hang from. A most suitable place, indeed, for such a purpose. (张贤亮 《男人的一半是女人》 ,许孟雄译) • “好地方”原本是一个褒义词,流露出说话人自豪、赞扬的感 情色彩,如歌曲名《咱 们新疆好地方》 。然而,当“好地方” 与“上吊”搭配在一起时, “好地方”褒义的感情色彩 消失, 因此绝不能译作 a good place 或是 a perfect place, 否则岂不 成了幸灾乐祸?译者将 “好 地方”用中性词组 a most suitable place 来表达,恰如其分地反映出作者隐藏在平静的叙述背 后的 惋惜和愤懑。
3.2 词语翻译与语言语境
3.2.1 根据语言语境确定原文词词义
3.2.2 根据语言语境选择译文
3.2.3 根据语言语境消除歧义 3.2.4 语言语境与词语感情色彩的传达
词义与语境关系密切
• “每个词在一个新的语境中就是一个新 词”(Each word when used in a new context is a new word) (Firth, 1957), “没有语境, 词就没有意义”(Malinowski, 1923)。 正因为 词义对语境有很强的依赖性,语境在翻译中的 重要地位毋庸置疑。 “在所有的翻译过 程中, 语境都是凌驾于一切的因素, 而且优先于任 何的规则、 理论或是基本意义” (Newmark, 1981:113)。因此,我们在做汉译英时绝不能 死扣词典、 “就词论词” ,而应结合具体的 语境 对词语进行细致的观察和分析,如此方 能恰如其分地理解和表达词义。
• 在口语中人们可以根据句子的重音、断句 以及说话人的 手势、表情来判断语句的意 义,而在书面语中,消除歧义主要依靠语 言语境(即上下文)进 行详尽的分析。将 词或词组作为孤立的个体进行分析时,它 们的意义往往模棱两可,难以判 断。而在 特定的语境中,词与词、句、段之间的逻 辑关系一经理顺,意义就会变得具体而明 确。
• (1)……路上浮尘早已刮净,剩下一条洁白的大 道来,车夫也跑得更快。 • By now the loose dust had all been blown away, leaving the roadway clean, and the rickshaw quickened his pace. (鲁迅《一件小事》 ,杨宪 益、戴乃迭译) • “洁白”的常见义项包括“纯白色” (例如:洁 白的雪)以及“纯洁、未受玷污” (例如: 洁白 的心灵) 。但无论将此句中“洁白的大道”译为 white roadway 还是 pure roadway 都属搭 配不当, 因为没有人会用“纯洁”来形容一条马路,车辆 行人熙来攘往的大道也不大可能是 纯白色的。分 析此句的语言环境可以看出, “洁白”应该指 “干净、洁净” 。译者选择 clean 一词,符合 “洁白”一词与上文“路上浮尘早已刮净”的逻 辑搭配。
3.2.1 根据语言语境确定原文词义
• 搭配(collocation)指的是语言系统 内各个语言成分的同现和组合,是语 言环境的重要 组成部分。根据词语的 搭配关系确定词义是在翻译的理解阶 段辨析词义时经常采用的手段。 正如 Firth 所言, “You shall know a word by the company it keeps” 。他所说的 company 指的就 是与某一词语同现的 搭配词语。
• 在翻译过程中,一定要根据语境理解 文中要表达的含义,有些文中省略的 词也要在译文中体现出来,使表达的 信息更加完整。
3.2.4语言语境与词语感情色彩的传 达
• 感情色彩是使用者文采,风格和创造 性的集中体现 • 词语在特定语言环境中的感情色彩能 为原文增色,而这一感情色彩的成功 传达也需要译者的匠心独运。译者应 充分发挥翻译中的创造性和思维灵感, 使译文词语的神采和意蕴不输于原文。
• 所以重在联系上下文,根据语境来 确定翻译的内容,否则所翻译的将 与原文的旨意相讹。
3.2.2 根据语言语境选择译文用词
ቤተ መጻሕፍቲ ባይዱ
• 语言中存在着大量的近义词。 这些 意义和用法相近的词汇丰富了语言 的表达形式, 但其 差别之细微也给 语言的正确使用造成了不小的麻烦。 在翻译的表达阶段, 译者常常需要 根据 译语的语言语境来调整自己的 表达方式,使译文用词负荷译语的 规范。
