左彪-英汉对比与翻译(全)

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.

英汉语言对比与翻译作业1. It is flattering to believe that they are too profound to be expressed so clearly that all who run may read, and very naturally it does not occur to such writers that the fault is with their own minds which have not the faculty of precise reflection.翻译:认为自己的思想深奥,不可能表达得很清楚,让任何人都能理解,这是一种虚荣的念头。
这样的作家当然不会想到,问题还是出在自己脑子缺乏精确思考的能力。
2. He had a disconcerting habit of expressing contradictory ideas in rapid succession.翻译:他有一种令人不安的习惯:一会儿一个看法,自相矛盾,变化无常。
3.While the present century was in its teens, and on one sunshiny morning in June, there drove up to the great iron gate of Miss Pinkerton’s academy for young ladies, on Chiswick Mall, a large family coach, with two fat horses in blazing harness, driven by a fat coachman in athree-cornered hat and wig, at the rate of four miles an hour. (Thackeray)翻译:(当时)这个世纪刚过了十几年。

第七讲 英汉修辞对比与翻译
5. 英语多用长句和复合句。 With the gaining of our political freedom you will remember that there came a conflict between the
point of view of Alexander Hamilton, sincerely believing in the superiority of government by a small group of public-spirited and usually wealthy citizens, and, on the other hand, the point of view of Thomas Jefferson, and advocate of government by representatives chosen by all the people, and advocate of the universal right of free thought and free personal living and free religion and free expression of opinion and, above all, the right of free universal suffrage.
第七讲 英汉修辞对比与翻译
修辞是提高语言表达效果的手段。翻译工作既注意一般修辞又要注意特殊修 辞。 1)用词要贴切
翻译中应特别重视选词,要对原文和译文所用词语在词义的范围、轻重、分 寸及色彩方面仔细琢磨,反复推敲,以求译文用词精当、贴切。例如:
“修辞”是语言表达的艺术。使用修辞格的目的是为了使语言更加生动形象、鲜明突出,或者 使语言更加整齐匀称,音调铿锵,加强语言表现力和感染力,引起读者丰富联想的效果。修辞方式 (格)的本质就是所要解决怎样艺术而有效地运用语言形式来恰当地表达思想内容。

• 这样的英语句子,结构显得过于松散了,变成汉式英语而非典型地道的英语句子了。
为什么会这样呢?
• 英汉句子的差异:形合与意合 • 这种差异在翻译中给译者带来一定的障碍。将一个重形合的
语篇译成重意合的语篇,最常见的错误就是将形合的特点迁 移(transfer)到重意合的语言中。 • 翻译中译者面临的困难很多,但句型结构的迁移是最大的障 碍。现在不少译者的译文充斥着英语的句法结构,甚至还美 其名曰“忠实于原文”,这种观念实在有害。
• 英语的结构性就很明显,如:

explanation, that enthusiasm for country life and love of
• Because there is a great distance and there are not enough transport facilities, the rural world is isolated. This isolation has become more serious because there are not enough information media.

英汉语篇衔接对比与翻译

英汉语篇衔接对比与翻译【2004年8级测试汉译英】①在人际关系问题上我们不要太浪漫主义。
②人是很有趣的,往往在接触一个人时首先看到的都是他或她的优点。
③这一点颇像是在餐馆里用餐的经验。
④开始吃头盘或冷碟的时候,印象很好。
⑤吃头两个主菜时,也是赞不绝口。
⑥愈吃愈趋于冷静,吃完了这顿宴席,缺点就都找出来了。
⑦于是转喜为怒,转赞美为责备挑剔,转首肯为摇头。
⑧这是因为,第一,开始吃的时候你正处于饥饿状态,而饿了吃糠甜加蜜,饱了吃蜜也不甜。
⑨第二,你初到一个餐馆,开始举筷时有新鲜感,新盖的茅房三天香,这也可以叫做“陌生化效应”吧。
Cohesive devices 衔接手段1. reference 照应2. substitution 替代3. ellipsis 省略4. conjunction 连接5. lexical cohesion 词汇衔接----- Halliday & HasanCohesion in English重复与替代汉英两种语言的部分语篇衔接手段在使用上有所偏重,汉语更常使用原词复现和省略,而英语则更多使用照应和替代。
汉语倾向于用重复手段,而英语倾向于用替代手段。
汉语不喜欢使用同义替代的手段,因为会使精神分散;也不喜欢使用代词,因为容易变得所指不明。
结果由于强调重复,反而变成了某种意义上的“形合”。
开始吃的时候你正处在饥饿状态,而饿了吃糠甜加蜜…as you start eating you are in hunger, and when you are in hunger chaff tastes as honey…(学生译文)…as you start eating you are in hunger, when chaff tastes sweet as honey…(参考译文)他这时来了,而这时我根本想不到他会来。
He came at a time when I least expected him.那是一个寒冷潮湿的晚上,这样的晚上大部分人待在家里。

LECTURE 1Part 1Native Language Transfer in FL Learning: Interference or Facilitation?外语学习中的母语迁移:干扰还是促进?There are two types of transfer: Negative Transfer and Positive Transfer.

The writer likes writing at light (night).②Morphological transfer(词形迁移)Neither nouns nor verbs have inflections in Chinese.He only eat two meal a day.③Collocation transfer (搭配迁移)The noun renkou,the Chinese equivalent of …population‟, can have a numerical pre-modifier. Shanghai is said to have thirteen million population.④Syntactical transfer (句型迁移)The verb jianyi,the Chinese equivalent of …suggest‟, can be used in VOC pattern in Chinese. He suggested me to accept this offer.⑤Pragmatic transfer (语用迁移)The negative reply to a compliment is considered in Chinese as modest and courteous.-- Y our English is wonderful.-- No, no. My English is still poor.Part TwoA Contrastive Study of English and Chinese 英汉语对比研究Contrast Between English and ChineseChinese:·Meaning-focused with emphasis on implicit coherence (隐性连贯)·left-extending, heavy-headed like a lion·moving point of sight·bamboo-like sentence structure with different sections linked and yet separated(竹式结构)·T opic-Comment Sentence Structure·Order of linguistic elements: relatively fixed like bamboo-making (制竹)(语序相对固定)English:·Form-focused with emphasis on explicit cohesion(显性联接)·English: right-extending heavy-tailed like a peacock fixed point of sight ·tree-like sentence structure with different parts connected like branches and sub-branches to the trunk line.(树式结构)·Subject-Predicate Sentence Structure·Order of linguistic elements: relatively flexible like block-building (积木)(语序相对灵活)Example:Chinese: bamboo-like sentence structure (竹式结构)The chunks of a sentence seem to be connected and yet separated, like sections of a bamboo linked by the joints and yet relatively independent and self-contained.例:从前这里有一个渔村,村里住着十户人家,这十户人家全靠打鱼、种地为生,生活艰苦,但很安宁。

He is going to see the doctor today.零位主语句隐含主语句The show begins now.坐享其成3、推导主语的规范:①原句的动词常常是我们展开推导的出发点和根据。
一般说来,它可以给我们提供准确的、边切的推导线索,推导出与之搭配的施动者。
②原句的总体意义是我们展开推导的最重要的依据,特别是在汉语原句中没有谓语动词时,全局的总体意义就是最重要的根据。
③推出补加主语时,常常必须把握住原语材料的关涉对象,即文章为谁而写、议论为谁而发、内容牵涉到谁,等等。
主语转移的一般规范:●必须紧扣原意,只要不违背全句的总体意义,选择可灵活变通,不拘一格.●必须密切顾及英语的习惯表达法。
