四字格的翻译
汉语四字格及新词翻译
汉语四字格翻译汉语中四字结构的翻译在很多时候，非常令人头疼棘手，很多同学要么误认为这些都属于成语，要么总想在英语中找一个形式与之对应的翻译来处理。
其实不然，汉语中出现的四字格，很多只是为了读起来上口，对仗，并没有太深的寓意，我们只需简单的理解一下意思，我们在很多情况下可以将四字格前后两个词语分开来处理，首先判断该结构属于什么词类，然后再分析前后两个词语间的逻辑关系，用相应的单词或者表达处理即可。
请看下面的例子：（一）并列关系这种四字结构，前后两个词语属于并列关系，我们只要能够将前后两个词语分别译成相应的英语译文，中间用并列连词“and”连接即可。

成语与四字格的翻译
单击此处添加小标题
又如：“亡羊补牢”与“lock the stable door after the horse has been stolen”, 表面看相似，实则无法等同起来。汉语中“亡羊补牢”暗含为时未晚之意，而英语中 却表达的是为时已晚，意义正好相反。可见形象相似的汉语与英语的固定表达法，比 喻义有时却常常并不一样。这是英汉两种语言反映的是两种民族各自不同的文化特点。 因此，进行汉语成语的翻译时，应结合语境正确理解，切莫胡乱硬译，或不假思索地 套译。
“打得落花流水”意即打得粉碎，打得一败涂地，语 言很形象，如直译为：“…,are being shattered like flowers and floating waters.”译文读者可能看不懂， 因此采用意译法。

3.6 成语与四字格的翻译(1)
3.6.2 四字格的翻译
• 1. 什么是四字格？ • 四字格又称四字结构，是汉语中一种独特的词 汇现象。顾名思义，四字格就是有四个汉字组成 的词语。由于四字格是一种固定的四字结构，其 词语内部的组合关系也相对稳定，主要包括以下 几种： • （1）主谓关系 • 如：经济复苏 群众评议 • 波涛汹涌 民族自治
音韵和谐、简洁明快等特点。
• 3. 四字格的翻译
• 除单独运用或独立成句之外，四字格还常以排比 的形式出现，这种排比用法在汉语行文中是文采 和气势是我体现，其华丽丰富的词藻与优美和谐 的音韵既符合中国人注重整体和统一的思维模式， 又切合我们讲求均衡对仗的审美心理，因此成为 汉语行文中表现文字美感的重要艺术形式。
• 如：
（1）他们重新见面时，一个已是“使君有妇”。一个已是 “罗敷有夫”了。 When they met again, each had already married to another. （2）和广阔无垠的太空相比，降落伞看起来是沧海一粟。 Against the vast expanse of the sky, the chute looked very small. （3）那是早春二月，乍暖还寒的一天。 It was a chilly day in early spring. （4）我们发现他在草地上坦腹高卧。 We found him lying on his back on the lawn.
• 3. 成语的翻译策略 • 由于汉英两种语言和文化的巨大差异，汉语成语形象
鲜明、常用典故和音韵和谐等特色很难全部在译文中得以 再现，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。常用的成语汉英翻译策略包括直译法、意 译法、套译法、加注法和增译法。 • • • • • • •
