专业英语四级翻译指导:英译汉需注意问题

一、不合习惯的说法

不同的民族有不同的习惯和表达方法。一句话,一个词,在一个国家表达的是好意,引起人们好的联想和情感,在另一个国家转达的可能是坏意,引起人们不好的联想和情感。如果翻译不注意,就有可能引起误解或不快。而如果我们注意这些差异,在译文中加以运用,就可以收到较好的效果。在翻译不涉及政治、经济等重要问题,只涉及生活习惯、日常用语时,可以更灵活些,按照译入语的习惯说法表达意思。

1、见面问候

中国人见面时喜欢问:吃过了吗? Have you had breakfast(lunch, supper)?到哪去?Where areyougoing?这都不是外国人在见面问候时会问的问题。如果见面就问外国人“到哪里”,人家会以为你要了解人家的私事,对你会产生反感。外国人喜欢问:“你好吗?”这句话可以有不少表达方法,如How are you? How do you do ?How have you been doing?Hello!Hey!等。用哪一句来表达你的问候,取决于你与被问候人的关系密切程度。总之,这一类的问候语,直译可能会让人感到莫名其妙,还是按外国人的习惯翻译较好。

2、对病人的问候

中国人喜欢对病人深表同情。但外国人则轻易不愿表现出其弱的一面,对他们表达过分同情的话未必会收到好的效果。例如:中国人在听说一个人生病后可能会说:得知贵体欠佳,深感不安和关切。直译:I was rather disturbed by and concerned about yourillness.但这样翻译会使感到病情很重,只能加重病人的顾虑,达不到安慰病人的目的。按照英文的表达习惯,可译为:I am sorry tohear about your illness and wish you a speedyrecovery.这样翻译既表达了讲话者的难过心情,又表达了希望病人尽快康复的愿望。

3、对待他人的表扬和感谢

在受到表扬或感谢时,中国人往往比较谦虚,会说:“这没什么。”“这是我应该做的。”或者,“哪里,哪里,我还做得很差。”如果直译:It isnothing. This is my duty. This is what I should do. Well, I have notdone very well. There is still much to beimproved.所有这些谦恭的话,在外国人听起来,都会显得做作。西方人通常会说:It’s my pleasure.

Thank you for your kind words. I feel flattered.翻译这些话时,宜根据西方的习惯来译。

4、迎接外宾时

中国人迎接远道而来的客人时常常会说:“一路上辛苦了。累不累?”Y ou must have been tired

after thelongflight(journey)而外国人喜欢在别人面前显得年轻、有朝气,不喜欢被人认为体弱,或有疲劳感。因此,上述问候话直译效果不好,可译成:How was the flight? Have you had a pleasant flight?或者Y ou have had along flight.

二、不够委婉的语气

有时有人讲话比较直率、唐突,直译可能会使人感到不太客气,甚至会失礼。译员应学习委婉说法,在翻译时把握好语气。但为外交斗争需要而使用针锋相对的语言除外。

例1 中国可作为贵国资源性产品的稳定市场,同时中国的许多工业产品可满足贵国市场的需要。

直译:Y our resource-based products can find a stable market in China andChinese industrial products can meet the needs of yourmarket.这么直译也许会让人担心,以为我们的工业品要去占领他们的市场。同样的意思可以翻得更客气一些。如:Y ou may find astable market in China for your primary products and may also get anumber of industrial products from China to meet some of your needs.

例2 我想向大家介绍一下你们所关心的经济问题。

直译:I wish to talk on China’s economic development in which you are interested.

这样翻译,显得讲话者太肯定听众会对他所讲内容感兴趣。尽管讲话者知道听众是有兴趣的,但说得客气一点效果更好。可译为:I would liketo brief you on China’s economic development, which might be ofinterest to you.

另外,我们打交道的人大多是上层人士,我们必须学会使用礼貌文雅的语言,否则,会产生距离、反感,从而失去朋友,有损我形象。

1974年,加拿大“白求恩纪念委员会”访华代表团中有一位团员对我接待官员说,我方翻译像警察,原因是那天早晨,翻译到他房间对他说:Y ouhave breakfast at 8, get your luggage downstairs at 8:30 and leave herefor the airport at 9.OK?语言简单、生硬、不礼貌,给外宾留下了不好的印象。建议对外宾说:Breakfast is at8. Would you please get your luggage downstairs at 8:30?we are going toleave here for the airport at 9.

曾有一位女翻译招呼外宾时,大声喊叫“Hello”而不知道说:"Excuse me",在宣布事情时总是:Attentionplease.而不是说:Ladies and Gentlemen, may I have your attentionplease.结果一位外宾对此感到不快,说:I don’t want to talk to that wildgirl.要人帮忙时,我们时常会说:你能告诉我到×××地方怎么走吗?你能说英语吗?等。如果英文译成:Can you tell me howto get to……?Can you speakEnglish?那将是很不客气的问话。对方会以为你怀疑他的能力。因为英文字can表示能力。如果改为could,含义就不同了。可以译为:Couldyou please tell me how to get……? Do you speakEnglish?一个陌生人问你如何去某地时,你很可能传说:“最好坐公共汽车去。”如将这句话译为Y ou’d better take abus,听起来不够礼貌。因为Y ou’d better……这个句型含有Y ou have a duty to do something,或Y ouhave an obligation to…的意思。是一种命令语气,常用于晚辈或下属。因此,这样翻译不够礼貌。这句话有许多客气的表达方法。

如:I suggest you take a bus.

It might be better to take a bus.

Perhaps you might like to take a bus.

Why not take a bus?

I think the best way is by bus.

总之,我们翻译工作者必须学会礼貌用语,委婉表达法。中国驻悉尼总领事段津在谈到对外往的沟通艺术时曾介绍了一些礼貌用语。如:在对别人的意见表示不同看法时可以说:

I have t o disagree with you, but I would think…或者Well, there’s apoint in what you said, but …对某件事表示不同意见时,可以说:Would it not be betterif…请别人帮忙时,可以说:Could you do me a favour, 或者Excuse me ,I have aproblem,…等等。在绝别人要求时,可以说:I am afraid it doesn’t work.或者I wonder whetherit will work, but I’ll try my best.

一些学识渊博、经验丰富的外交官非常善于使用委婉客气的语气来表达不同意见。譬如,一个外国代表团在一次国际会议上,是这样对一个国际会议领导职位侯选人的提名表示不同意见的。他说:

"As an experienced Minister with a distinguished record of service,we are confident that he has all the attributes to be an outstandi ngpresident of this Conference…but I have to place before you some of thereservations that we have about this nomination. If I may, I will sharewith you some of our concerns. Such a presidency will be misread bythose outside the ILO as signaling that…”

可以译为:他是一位有经验的部长,并做出了出色的成绩。我们相信,他完全具有条件,可以成为一个杰出的会议主席。但是,我不是不陈述我们对于这一提名的保留意见。请允许我向你们谈谈我们所关注的一些问题。这一主席的提名会被国际劳工组织以外的人误解为发出一个……的信号。”这位团长既清楚地表达了反对意见,但又讲得非常委婉、客气。这些表达方法很值得我们学习、借鉴。

三、动词使用不当

英语动词往往有其特定的用法。如不熟悉,就会出错。以下仅举两例来说明动词的不同形态、类型。

例1 Welcome

中文中经常会出现,“欢迎某人做某事”的句子,按中文语序翻译这样的句子,往往会出现中式英文。北京长安街两个大饭店门前大牌子上有两条表示欢迎的大标语:“北京欢迎您”、“国际饭店欢迎您”。同时又用英语书写了这两条标语的意思:

Beijing Is Waiting for Y ou (北京正等着您)和International Hotel WelcomesY ou.中国民航赠送的挎包上曾印有中、英文的欢迎词:欢迎乘坐中国民航,Welcome you to flyCAAC.英语中的“欢迎”通常使用"welcome"这个词。Welcome作动词时有两种形式可用:动词+宾语,动词+宾语+副词短语。

习惯上可以译为welcome somebody to somewhere,或welcome to aplace.显然上述译法不符合这个英文词的通常表达习惯。应译为:Welcome to Beijing, Welcome toInternational Hotel 和Welcome to fly CAAC。如要翻译“欢迎贵国工商界人士到中国去投资”,不能译为:Wewelcome people from the business community of your country to makeinvestment in China.可译为:i)People from the business community here inthis country are welcome to make investment in China.或ii)We hope thatpeople from the business community here in this country will go andinvest in China.

四、禁语的译法

任何社会都会有一些要求大家遵循的行为准则。如:公共场合不准吸烟、不准乱扔果皮纸屑、不准大声喧哗等。有些单位还根据本单位情况制定一些规则。如何翻译禁语是需要注意的又一个重要问题。中文禁语比较严肃,用词直截了当,以体现其法律效力。而外国人有时以比较婉转的口吻表达同样的意思。我们应尽量以译入语禁语的习惯表达方式来翻译禁语,并力求简洁。请比较下述两例的两种译法,第一种译法是我国一些地方标出的译文。第二种译法是建议译文。

例1 禁止拍照

Forbid photograph

No Photos

例2 禁止吸烟

Forbid Smoking

No Smoking或者Thank you for not smoking.

大学英语4课文翻译

unit 1 TextA Love and logic: The story of a fallacy 爱情与逻辑:谬误的故事 1 I had my first date with Polly after I made the trade with my roommate Rob. That year every guy on campus had a leather jacket, and Rob couldn't stand the idea of being the only football player who didn't, so he made a pact that he'd give me his girl in exchange for my jacket. He wasn't the brightest guy. Polly wasn't too shrewd, either. 在我和室友罗伯的交易成功之后,我和波莉有了第一次约会。那一年校园里每个人都有件皮夹克,而罗伯是校足球队员中唯一一个没有皮夹克的,他一想到这个就受不了,于是他和我达成了一项协议,用他的女友换取我的夹克。他可不那么聪明,而他的女友波莉也不太精明。 2 But she was pretty, well-off, didn't dye her hair strange colors or wear too much makeup. She had the right background to be the girlfriend of a dogged, brilliant lawyer. If I could show the elite law firms I applied to that I had a radiant, well-spoken counterpart by my side, I just might edge past the competition. 但她漂亮而且富有,也没有把头发染成奇怪的颜色或是化很浓的妆。她拥有合适的家庭背景,足以胜任一名坚忍而睿智的律师的女友。如果我能够让我所申请的顶尖律师事务所看到我身边伴随着一位光彩照人、谈吐优雅的另一半,我就很有可能在竞聘中以微弱优势获胜。 3 "Radiant" she was already. I could dispense her enough pearls of wisdom to make her "well-spoken". “光彩照人”,她已经是了。而我也能施予她足够多的“智慧之珠”,让她变得“谈吐优雅”。 4 After a banner day out, I drove until we were situated under a big old oak tree on a hill off the expressway. What I had in mind was a little eccentric. I thought the venue with a perfect view of the luminous city would lighten the mood. We stayed in the car, and I turned down the stereo and took my foot off the brake pedal. "What are we going to talk about?" she asked. 在一起外出度过了美好的一天之后,我驱车来到了高速公路旁一座小山上一棵古老的大橡树下。我的想法有些怪异。而这个地方能够俯瞰灯火灿烂的城区,我觉得它会使人的心情变轻松。我们呆在车子里,我调低了音响并把脚从刹车上挪开。“我们要谈些什么?”她问道。 5 "Logic." “逻辑学。” 6 "Cool," she said over her gum. “好酷啊,”她一边嚼着口香糖一边说。 7 "The doctrine of logic," I said, "is a staple of clear thinking. Failures in logic distort the truth, and some of them are well known. First let's look at the fallacy Dicto Simpliciter." “逻辑学的原理,”我说道,“即清晰思考的主要原则。逻辑上出现的问题会歪曲事实,其中有些还很普遍。我们先来看看一种叫做‘绝对判断’的逻辑谬误。”

英语专业八级考试十大翻译技巧讲解

英语专业八级考试十大翻译技巧讲解
英汉两种语言在句法、词汇、修辞等方面均存在着很大的差异,因此在进行英汉互译时必然 会遇到很多困难,需要有一定的翻译技巧作指导。常用的翻译技巧有增译法、省译法、转换 法、拆句法、合并法、正译法、反译法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重组法和综合法等。这 些技巧不但可以运用于笔译之中,也可以运用于口译过程中,而且应该用得更加熟练,因为 口译工作的特点决定了译员没有更多的时间进行思考。 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。 英汉两种语言在名词、代词、连词、介词和冠词的使用方法上也存在很大差别。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,在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,以确保译文意思的完整。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。 如: (1)What about calling him right away? 马上给他打个电话,你觉得如何?(增译主语和谓语) (2)If only I could see the realization of the four modernizations. 要是我能看到四个现代化实现该有多好啊! (增译主句) (3)Indeed, the reverse is true 实际情况恰好相反。 (增译名词) (4)Even the people in the fascist countries were stripped of their human rights. 就是法西斯国家本国的人民也被剥夺了人权。 (增译物主代词) (5)While the magistrates were free to burn down house, the common people were forbidden to light lamps. 只许州官放火,不许百姓点灯。 (增译连词) (6)这是我们两国人民的又一个共同点。 This is yet another common point between the people of our two countries. (增译介词) (7)在人权领域,中国反对以大欺小、以强凌弱。 In the field of human rights, China opposes the practice of the big oppressing the small and the strong bullying the weak. (增译暗含词语) (8)三个臭皮匠,合成一个诸葛亮。 Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang the mastermind. (增译注释性词 语) 2.省译法: 这是与增译法相对应的一种翻译方法, 即删去不符合目标语思维习惯、 语言习惯和表达 方式的词,以避免译文累赘。增译法的例句反之即可。 又如: (1)You will be staying in this hotel during your visit in Beijing.

大学英语四翻译

西蒙顿说,如果事业上取得巨大成就者具有什么共性的话 If great achievers share anything, said Simonton, it is an relenting drive to succeed. “There is an tendency to think that they are endowed with something super-normal,” he explained. “But what comes out of the research is that there are great people who have no amazing intellectual processes. It’s a difference in degree. Greatness is built upon tremend ous amounts of study, practice and devotion.” He cited Winston Churchill, Britain’s prime minister during World War II, as an example of a risk-taker who would never give up. Thrust into his office when his country’s moral was at its lowest, Churchill rose brilliantly to lead the British people. In a speech following the Allied evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940, he inspired to nation when he said, “We should not flag or fail. We shall go on to the end… We shall never surrender.” 一些人不愿表达感激之情,因为他们觉得这不会受欢迎。 Some person refrain from expressing their gratitude because they feel it will not be welcome. A patient of mine, a few weeks after his discharge from the hospital, came back to thank his nurse. “I don’t come sooner,” he explained, “because I imagined you must b e bored to death with people thanking you.” “On the contrary,” she replied, “I am delighted you came. Few realize how much we need encouragement and how much we are helped by those who give it.” Gratitude is something of which none of us can give too much. For on the smiles, the thanks we give, our little gestures of appreciation, our neighbors build up their philosophy of life. 一般西方人解决问题的方法是与之搏斗。 The normal Western approach to a problem is to fight it. The saying, “When the going gets tough, the toug h get going,” is typical of this aggressive attitude toward problem-solving. No matter what the problem is, or the techniques available for solving it, the framework produced by our Western way of thinking is fight.Dr.de Bono calls this vertical thinking; the traditional, sequential, Aristotelian thinking of logic, moving firmly from one step to the next, like toy blocks being built one on top of the other. The flaw is, of course, that if at any point one of the step is not reached, or one of the toy blocks is incorrectly placed, then the whole structure collapse. Impasse is reached, and frustration, tension, feelings of fight take over. Lateral thinking, Dr. de Bono says,is a new technique of thinking about things—a technique that avoids this fight altogether,and solves the problem In an entirely unexpected fashion. 学生的成绩达不到老师的期望是常有的事 When a student's work did not measure up to the teacher's expectations, as often happened, the student was not treated with disappointment, anger, or annoyance. Instead, the teacher assumed that this was an exception, an accident, a bad day, a momentary slip — and the student believed her and felt reassured. The next time around, he tried harder, determined to live up to what the teacher knew he could to. The exact part of communication that tells a child, "I expect the best," is difficult to pinpoint. In part it consists of a level tone showing assurance, a lack of verbal impatience, an absence of negative qualities such as irony, put-downs, and irritation.The teacher who expects the best asks her questions with conviction, knowing the answers she gets will be right, and the child picks up
