Two Types of Transfer
• Negative Transfer (负迁移) Errors arise from analogy. 类推会产生错误。 • Positive Transfer (正迁移) Errors decrease by analysis. 分析能减少错误。
We could turn negative transfer (interference) into positive (facilitation) by making analysis on differences between the two languages and arouse the learner‟s awareness of avoiding or reducing errors from analogy. 我们可以通过分析两种语言的差异,提高学生避免 或减少类推错误的意识,把负迁移(干扰)转化为正迁 移(促进)。
人在阵地在。 The position will not be given up so long as we are still living. 人无远虑, If one has no long-term considerations, 必有近忧。 he will find trouble at his doorstep.

英汉词汇对比与翻译

英汉词汇对比与翻译根据《韦氏新世界词典》,词语的意义可以分为两大类:① 所指意义、字面意义(denotation );②内涵意义、隐含意义( connotation )。

语言中的许多词语,往往既有所指意义,又有内涵意义;或者说,既有字面意义,又有隐含意义。

从意义对应的角度看,英、汉两种语言的词语存在以下四种情况:1. 基本对应例如,汉语的“纸”对应英语中的“ paper ”,英语中的“steel ”对应汉语中的“钢”。

2. 没有对应词汇(词语对应缺省)例如,汉语中的“阴”、“阳”、“太极”、“八卦”、“武术”、“气功”等,在英语中就没有相对应的词语。

3. 部分对应一些词语在两种语言中的语义范围不同; 一些词语在一种语言中有内涵意义,在另一种语言里则没有内涵意义; 一些词语所指意义或字面意义相同,内涵意义或隐含意义却大相径庭。

例如:“sister ”一词在英语中的语义范围就大于汉语中的“姐姐” 或“妹妹”。

汉语中“红豆”象征“爱情”或“相思”的内涵意义、“鸳鸯”象征“恩爱”或“白头到老”的内涵意义在英语中就没有。

汉语“气管炎”的内涵意义,英语“ tracheitis ”就没有。

汉语的“梨”由于同“离”字谐音,有“离别”的隐含意义;而英语中的“ pear ”就没有这一层联想意义。

汉语中的“红”和英语中的“ red ”字面意义相同,内涵意义却大不相同:中国人往往用“红”象征“幸运”、“昌盛”、“幸福”,“红颜”、“红粉”喻指美丽的女子,“红楼”指闺房;而英语中的“ red ” 表示“极端危险”、“紧急”、“愤怒”等,如“ red light district ”(红灯区),“red alert ”(紧急警报),“see red” (发怒、冒火)。

英语中“ owl”、“bat ”、“old dog”、“west wind”、“yellow ”同汉语中“猫头鹰”、“蝙蝠”、“老狗”、“西风”、“黄色”等词语的隐含意义也大为不同。

汉英词汇对比及翻译

汉英词汇对比及翻译一、英汉词汇意义变化的方式1. 词义的扩展:词从个别意义扩大到一般意义。

“灾”指自然发生的火灾f一切的灾害”。

“河”黄河f河流的总称。

英语中Cafeteria 咖啡壶f咖啡馆、餐馆等。

2. 词义缩小:从泛指转为特指。

如“臭”原作“气味” f “难闻的气味”。

“事故” “事情” f “意外的损失或灾难”。

英语词义变化,meat任何食物f供食用的兽肉。

pois on饮料f毒药。

3. 词义的升格:指词从原先贬义或中性转为褒义。

“臣”:本指俘虏,奴仆f辅助君主行政的官吏。

“领袖”:衣领和衣袖f “为人表率的人” f政治领导人。

英语中Mi nister仆人f部长。

4. 词义的降格:指词从原先中性或褒义转为贬义。

“臭”从“气味”变为“难闻的气味”,是缩小;“爪牙”:原指勇士,常作武臣之美称,后发展为党羽,供人驱使的人及坏人的帮凶。

英语中的例证,silly 幸福的、神圣的f愚蠢的;cunning知晓的、有技巧的f狡猾的。

二、英汉词汇互译的策略“因形见义”无疑是汉语词的一大特点,英语词的形与义没有联系,因而词义有广泛的发展余地。

无论英译汉,还是汉译英,都涉及两种不同的文化而产生的语言。

翻译时,选择合适的对应词,取决于对每一个译出和译入词含义的正确理解和透彻品位。

1. 准确理解词义不同的词义中选出最确切的词义,这是正确理解原文的一个基本环节,也是翻译之本。

从翻译角度来说,选词义时,必须掌握下面三项要领:根据上下文辨词义、论褒贬、看搭配。

(1)据上下文辨词义:形容词“ good”,一般意义为“好的”,但在不同上下文里含义不同,如:It was a good dinner. 这是一个丰盛的宴会。

He proved to be a good listener. 他这个人善于倾听。

又如:汉译英“说”这个词根据不同上下文可译成:speak, tell , say, express , mention 等。
