翻译的定义

翻译即将一种语言一源出语(Source Ianguage )转换成另一种语言一目的语(Target language) 或曰接受语 (Receptor language), 而意义保持或抵保持不变。

TransIation consists in reproducing in the receptor Ianguage the cIosest

naturaI equivaIent of the source Ianguage, first in terms of meaning and

secondIy in terms of styIe. 奈达对此作了说明： ( 1)再现原文的信息

(Message而不是保留原文的形式结构( Formal structure); (2)对等 (Equivalenee)不是同一(Identity)； (3)对等是最贴切、自然的对等；(4) 意义是优先考虑的因素；

(5)文体成分虽居其次，但也十分重要。

翻译的标准

1.信(Faithfu In ess)、达(Ex pressive ness) 雅(Elega nee)

2.忠实和通顺

、 Examples

Jane does not work hard because she wants to earn money. 误译：因为简想挣钱，所以才不下力。译文：简并不是因为想赚钱才下力干的。

Pindus Road was a long, wide, straight street that ran parallel with Bread Road. 原译：平得斯路是一条与布莱德路平行的、长长的、宽宽的、笔直的大街。

译文：平得斯路与布莱德路平行，是一条又长又宽又直的大街。英汉语言对比分析：

1.英语动词形态变化复杂

It is ten years since he was a fisherman 他有十年不打鱼了。

2.英语词义灵活，词义变化表现出较大的随意性 The relief troops came at the eleventh

hour.

援兵终于来了。

3.英语中大量习语的存在，增加了翻译的困难。

An apple does not fall far form the apple tree.

落叶归根。

直译

The bread of charity is bitter. 施舍的面包是苦的。

意译

A stick is quickly found to beat a dog with. 欲加之罪，何患无辞？

英汉文化对比分析：翻译不仅是一项双语活动，也是一种跨文化活动。Much of

the town was destroyed by bombs in the war, but it was rebuilt and in the following decade rose from the ashes like a phoenix. 该城市的大部分在战争中被炸弹摧毁，但是又得以重建，并且在以后十年中像火中的凤凰一样从灰烬中再生。

洋化与归化 Every tub must stand on its own bottom.

人贵自立 Love lives in cottages as well as in courts.

爱情不分贫富辩证施治

主与从：整体与布局，要有整体意识

There on the floor was a newspaper. She unfolded it. It looked familiar. It was China Daily

若着眼于各个单句，可能得到如下译文：地板上有张纸。她打开了它。它是《中国日报》。

若有整体意识，其结果便迥然不同：她瞧见地板上有张报纸，打开挺熟悉，原来是《中国日报》。

看，

They have bolted. They have left bills all over the place. 译文 1：

他们溜走了。他们留下了满地的债。译文 2：他们留下一大堆账单，逃之夭

夭了。

重视句间连接

Large clouds play tag in the blue sky overhead, while at the opposite end of the field, the stern chiefs of local villages sit dressed in traditional robes, each carrying a staff topped by a gift talisman of authority.

头顶上，大片的白云在蓝天里追逐嬉戏；白云下，当地的村长们身着传统的长袍，手握顶端镶有镀金护符的权杖，正襟危坐在对面地头上。 Politicians can be found everywhere, while statesmen are comparatively rare.

政客家比比皆是，而政治家却寥寥无几。从整体关系上把握个别词的力度

In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I have been turning over in my mind ever since.

在我年轻、幼稚的时候，父亲曾给了我一番教诲，我一直铭记

在心。

主要信息与次要信息

At the peak of the boom a few years ago, Louisiana had more cash than it knew what to do with. But its surplus of $400 million has dried up, replaced by $300 million worth of red ink on the ledgers.

几年前，路易斯安那州的经济繁荣达到了顶峰，钱多得不知如何安排。可是时至今日，且不说 4 亿美元的盈余应经全部花尽，账簿上还出现了 3 亿美元的赤字。

分与合 : 分译
