英汉互译中的正反反正表达法

英汉互译中的正反反正表达法

英汉互译中的正反反正表达法在英汉互译过程中,由于两种语言表达习惯不同,往往需要把英语中的正说译成汉语中的反说,把英语中的反说译成汉语中的正说,或反之,这样才能确切表达原意并符合语言的规范。

这种把正说处理为反说,把反说处理为正说的译法,叫正反、反正表达法。

这种正说和反说的相互转换是翻译技巧中的一个重要方法。

它属于引申和修辞范围。

那么,什么是正说和反说呢?英语词句中含有“never”,“no”,“not”,“non-”,“un-”,“im-”,“in-”,“ir-”,“-less”等成分以及汉语词句中含有“不”、“没”、“无”、“未”、“甭”、“别”、“休”、“莫”、“非”、“毋”、“勿”等成分的为反说,不含有这些成分的为正说。

正说和反说包括的词类范围很广,不仅包括动词、形容词、副词、名词、介词和连词,而且包括各种词组,短语和从句。

现以实例对正反、反正表达法加以说明。

一、英译汉正说反译法在不少情况下,由于有的词语含有特殊意义,如不从反面着笔,译文就不通,这时必须反说。

例如:1)“I have read your articles.I expect to meet an old man.”“我读过你的文章,没想到你这样年轻。

”(动词)2)He was absent from his own country last year.他去年不在自己的国家。

(形容词短语)3)He dived into the water fully clothed and rescued the children.他衣服没脱就跳入水中,把孩子救了上来。

(副词)4)He was extremely sorry for the shortness of time.他对时间不足感到十分抱歉。

(名词)5)I do think that it is beyond his power to fulfill the task.我的确认为要完成这项任务是他力所不及的。

“It + be + adj. + noun + that…”句式的反面着笔 译法: (17) It is a wise father that knows his own child. 聪明的父亲也未必了解他自己的孩子。 (18) It is an ill wind that blows nobody good. 坏事未必对人人都有害处。 (19) It is a good workman that never blunders. 智者千虑必有一失。 (20) It is a long lane that has no turning. 凡事总有变化,还会永远不变。
(1) I couldn’t agree more. (2) You couldn’t be better off, could you? (3) Nothing is farther from the truth. (4) I can hardly imagine two men less capable of getting on together. (5) I was weighed down with grief; my friend’s books offered little release, less escape. (6) He could not care less about money.
(6) They didn’t praise him in the slightest. (7) I’m afraid not. (8) I don’t know how often I haven’t warned you. (9) His speech leaves much to be desired. (10) No news is good news.

翻译常用的八种技巧

翻译常用的八种技巧

翻译常用的八种技巧翻译常用的八种技巧1.重译法(repetition)2.增译法(amplification)3.减译法(omission)4.词类转移法(conversion)5.词序调整法(inversion)6.分译法(division)7.正说反译、反说正译法(negation)8.语态变换法(the change of the voices)第一节重译法(repetition)在翻译中,有时为了忠实于原文,不得不重复某些词语,否则就不能忠实地表达原文的意思。

这种反复使用某些词语于翻译的方法就叫重译法。

重译法实际上也是一种增词法,只不过所增加的是上文出现的词。

重译法有三个作用:一是为了明确;而是为了强调;三是为了生动。

一、为了明确,有时需要重复宾语。

在英语中,一句话里两个动词共用一个宾语,宾语只在第二个动词之后出现一次。

而在汉语中,这样的宾语要在每个动词后分别出现。

定语后的名词亦是如此。

如:1.We have to analyse and solve problems. 我们要分析问题,解决问题。

2.I eat and drink whatever I like, and sleep when I can not keep.我想吃什么就吃什么,想喝什么就和什么,眼睛睁不开了就睡觉。

3.人类利用自然科学去了解自然、改造自然。

People use naturalscience to understand and change nature.4.Aristocratic and democratic tendencies in a nation oftenshowthemselves in its speech.民族的贵族倾向和民族倾向常在其言语中表现出来。

5.我们来修改安全规则和卫生规则吧。

Let’s revise our safety andsanitary regulations.二、英语常用省略,但为了明确,也为了强调某些内容,在汉语中常常要将省去的部分重译出来。

e.g. 800 people had been saved by the organization.
组织拯救了800人.
3、翻译成汉语判断句:不突出被动动 作,而着重于对事 物的状态、过程和性 质等加以描述,经常采用“是……的” 判断句。
e.g. This kind of device is much needed in the mechanical watch-making industry.
我一时想不起来这个名字。
2.Negative in English, Affirmative in Chinese 反说正译
e.g. My overcoat would not wear out.
我的大衣十分耐穿。
3.Double Negative for Emphasis 双重否定为强调
e.g. He was no small reputation as a scientist.
这种装置在机械表制造业中是很重要的。
4、把被动句中的“被”字用其它字替 代:“被”— “受、遭、让、由、得以、 受到、遭到、为……所”等。
e.g. The proposal on the improvement of the investment environment is accepted by all the members of the committee.
这条关于改善投资环境的建议为该委员会 全体委员所接受。
5、被动惯用句型:泛指我们、人们、 有人、大家等。
有人认为...
e.g. It is believed that almost all sudden deaths are caused by damage to the heart.

汉译英的几种翻译技巧

汉译英的几种翻译技巧

汉译英的几种常用技巧常用的翻译技巧 1. 增译 2. 减译(省译) 3. 重复4. 转译5. 语序(词序/句序)调整(倒置)6. 拆句与合并7. 正说反译, 反说正译8. 语态变换1. 增译法:指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式,在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子,以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。

这种方式多半用在汉译英里。

汉语无主句较多,而英语句子一般都要有主语,所以在翻译汉语无主句的时候,除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或“ There be⋯”结构来翻译以外,一般都要根据语境补出主语,使句子完整。

英语中代词使用频率较高,凡说到人的器官和归某人所有的或与某人有关的事物时,必须在前面加上物主代词。

因此,在汉译英时需要增补物主代词,而在英译汉时又需要根据情况适当地删减。

英语词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子的逻辑关系一般用连词来表示,而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表示这种关系。

因此,在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。

英语句子离不开介词和冠词。

另外,汉译英时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语,以确保译文意思完整。

总之,通过增译,一是保证译文语法结构的完整,二是保证译文意思的明确。

1. I am looking forward to the holidays. 我们等待假日的到2. Much of our morality is customary. 我们大部分的道德观念都有习惯性。

3. Reading makes a full man; conference a ready man; and writing anexact man.读书使人充实,讨论使人机智,笔记使人精确。

4. Histories make men wise; poets witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend. 读史使人明智,读诗使人灵秀,数学使人周密,科学使人深刻,伦理使人庄重,逻辑修辞之学使人善辩。

要知道,从一种语言文字向另一种语言文字转换,有时可以找到一种语言文字在另一种语言文字中的对等词,然而要想全部依赖对等词的转换来达到翻译的目的是几乎不可能的。

不同语言文字所持有的习惯决定了必须根据其中一种语言文字的习惯来适当地增词(或减词)达到语言交际的目的。

如果机械地按照字面意义直译,不仅不能表达原文的思想,精神与形象,而且还会使译文前后矛盾,闹出笑话。

例1 听到你平安的消息,非常高兴!译文: I was very glad on hearing that you were in safety!例2对不起,打扰一下!译文: Excuse me for interrupting you!(增补作宾语的代词you)例3 Histories make men wise; poems witty; the mathematics subtle; natural philosophy deep; moral grave; logic and rhetoric able to contend.译文:读史使人明智,读诗使人灵秀,数学使人周密,科学使人深刻,伦理使人庄重,逻辑修辞之学使人善辩。

(译文中添补了谓语和宾语:增词法;重译法)例4:We won’t retreat, we never have and never will.译文:我们不后退,我们从来没有后退过,我们将来也绝不后退。
