The reason for China’s unexpected economic and trading growth is that the many experts tend to ignore an important factor, which is the scale economy effect in a country with the largest population in the world. The so-called scale of economy refers to that with the extension of production scale, the direct and indirect cost of each item will be eventually cut down so as to reduce the production costs and increase the income. The latest trade theory has proved that assuming two countries with the same resource gift but different economic scale, the one with larger scale will take the advantage un-der the free trade circumstance.

入世后中国经济与贸易增长的态势之所以出乎预料,是因为许多专家都忽视了一个至关重要的因素,那就是作为世界人口最多国家的规模经济效应。所谓规模经济,是指由于生产规模的扩大,可以减少每单位产品生产的直接和间接费用,从而降低生产成本,提高收益。最新的贸易理论已经证明,假定两个国家资源禀赋相同,但经济规模不同,那么在自由贸易条件下,规模较大的国家将处于优势地位。

浅谈大学英语翻译教学的重要性及翻译能力培养

龙源期刊网 https://www.wendangku.net/doc/e014858886.html, 浅谈大学英语翻译教学的重要性及翻译能力培养 作者:冯云菊岳元玉 来源:《校园英语·上旬》2015年第07期 【摘要】大学英语翻译教学在整个英语教学体系当中有着非常重要的地位,有助于学生英语综合运用能力的提高,有助于学生对东西方文化差异的理解;当前大学英语翻译教学重视不够、对翻译在听、说、读、写中的作用认识不足、翻译课在大学英语教学中开设甚少的。如何提高大学英语翻译教学效果,提高大学生翻译能力,促进“听”“说”“读”“写”“译”这五项技能的和谐发展,是高校英语老师需要认真考虑的事情。本人认为可以从传统教学模式转变、教学方法创新、注重文化差异分析这几个方面对提高大学英语翻译教学效果,培养大学生翻译能力。 【关键词】翻译教学能力培养文化差异 一、大学英语翻译教学的重要性 1.英语翻译教学有助于学生英语综合运用能力的提高。大学生的英语翻译能力与英语的听、说、读、写能力有着非常紧密的联系。在大量的英语翻译练习中学生能够获得非常丰富的语言知识,同时在大量的汉英互译练习在很大程度上扩大了学生的词汇量,让学生能够熟练转换汉语与英语这两种思维。 同时,英语翻译教学有助于学生听、说能力的提升。之所以这么说是因为,学生在听、说练习中可以借助翻译获得准确信息,通过翻译理解听到的内容,锻炼了快速反应能力以及表达能力。在写作与阅读练习中,学生往往在无意识中对看到的英语进行了翻译。翻译能力的高低对学生能否准确获得原文表达的信息起到了决定性作用。 2.英语翻译教学有助于学生对东西方文化差异的理解。在英语学习过程中,许多学生对英语原文中表现出来的文化差异无所适从,往往不能很好的抓住英文中体现出来的东西方文化差异。英语翻译教学的开展能够提高学生对东西方文化差异的敏感度,更加准确的抓取原文想要表达的含义。其一,在英语翻译教学中,学生通过大量的翻译训练掌握了较多的词汇,在翻译过程中,能够透过原文中的句子以及词汇的含义理解特殊词语的社会文化意义以及背后所蕴含的文化差异;其二,英语翻译教学中的翻译训练讲解可以使学生逐步意识到汉语与英语这两个语言在在文化内涵上的独特特征,在英语学习中有意识的积累与英汉文化背景相关的知识,最终提高英语的掌握程度。 二、大学英语翻译教学现状分析

大学英语翻译教学的现状与对策

大学英语翻译教学的现状与对策 目前,我国已经在国际的舞台上占据着重要的地位,与其他国家的交流也越来越频繁,能流利的进行英语翻译的人才成为了国家建设的重点人才。大学作为培养人才的主要阵地,培养学生的英语翻译能力成为了大学的主要任务。针对大学英语翻译教学的现状采取相应的措施进行改善成为了大学英语老师的首要责任。有效的英语教学能使学生很好的掌握翻译的技巧,然而,当前我国的大学英语翻译教学还存在着很多的不足之处亟需改进。 标签:大学英语;翻译教学;现状;对策 一、大学英语翻译教学的现状 1.缺乏文化背景的渗透。 英语翻译课程教学的目标是提高学生的翻译能力,让学生在日常的生活中和工作中能更好运用翻译这项技能去解决一些实际的问题。目前,很多大学的英语老师在进行翻译教学的过程中仍然只对翻译的内容进行讲解,没有任何相关文化背景的渗透,这样的教学模式使得学生只是将知识进行简单的语言类型转换,并没有深刻领会翻译材料的内容,这样缺乏背景的翻译无法使学生真正得到翻译能力的提升,反而会使学生在翻译的过程中出现笑话,影响翻译水平的发挥。 2.教学内容缺乏针对性。 翻译课程在大学英语教学中属于比较难的课程,将听说读写这四种能力集合在一起,因此,学生翻译能力的提高必然伴随着这四种能力的提高。但是,很多的大学英语老师为学生设计的翻译教学内容缺乏针对性,在实际的教学中,老师对所有的学生都采用相同的教学内容,并没有根据学生的专业进行专门的教学。另外,所有学生使用的英语教材都是相同的,教学内容都侧重于阅读与听力等,这样的教学模式无法让学生在实际的生活和工作中很好的运用英语翻译的技能。 3.教学模式落后。 传统的教学模式已经无法适应当今的教学发展,教学模式滞后的现象是普遍存在于我国大学英语翻译教学中的一种现象。很多大学英语老师的教学方式都是发给学生一篇翻译的资料,让学生以作业的形式来完成,然后交给老师批改。老师使用的翻译资料也过于陈旧,与当今社会上的一些时事相脱节,甚至有些老师在学生翻译完成后,将答案发给学生让学生自己进行对照改正。 二、改善大学英语翻译教学现状的具体对策 1. 优化课程设置。

新视野大学英语第三版第一册课后翻译答案.doc

新视野大学第三版book1英语课后翻译答案 Unit1 苏格拉底是古希腊哲学家,被誉为现代西方哲学的奠基人。他是一个谜一般的人物,人们主要通过后来的一些古典作家的叙述,尤其是他最著名的学生柏拉图的作品去了解他。苏格拉底以他对伦理学的贡献而闻名。他的教学法亦称为苏格拉底法,即通过提问和回答来激发批判性思维以及阐述观点。该方法在各种讨论中仍被普遍使用。他还在认识论和逻辑领域作出了重大而深远的贡献。他的思想和方法所带来的影响一直是后来的西方哲学的坚实基础。苏格拉底是古代哲学史上最丰富多彩的人物。他在他那个时代已威名远扬。虽然他未曾建立什么哲学体系,未曾设立什么学派,也未曾创立什么宗派,但他的名字很快就变得家喻户晓了。 Confucius was a great thinker and educator in Chinese history. He was the founder of Confucianism and was respectfully referred to as an ancient “sage”. His words and life story were recorded in The Analects. An enduring classic of ancient Chinese culture, The Analectshas had a great influence on the thinkers, writers, and statesmen that came after Confucius. Without studying this book, one could hardly truly understand the thousands-of-years’traditional Chinese culture. Much of Confucius’thought, especially his thought on education, has had a profound influence on Chinese society. In the 21st century, Confucian thought not only retains the attention of the Chinese, but it also wins an increasing attention from the international community. Unit2 圣诞节是一个被广泛庆祝的文化节日,全世界有许许多多的人在12月25日庆祝这一节日。它是为了纪念耶稣基督的诞辰。该节日最早可追溯到公元336年。渐渐地,这一节日演变为一个既是宗教又是非宗教的节日,越来越多的非基督徒也庆祝圣诞节。如今,圣诞节在全球被作为一个重大的节日和公共假日来庆祝。不同国家的圣诞节风俗也各不相同。现代流行的圣诞接风俗包括交换圣诞贺卡和圣诞礼物、唱圣诞歌曲、参加教堂活动、摆放各种圣诞装饰品和圣诞树、举行家庭聚会以及准备一顿特别的大餐。对小孩子们来说,这个节日充满了幻想和惊喜。据传说,圣诞老人会在圣诞夜从烟囱进入每户人家,给乖巧听话的孩子带来礼物。由于圣诞节送礼物以及许多其他方面推动了基督徒和非基督徒的经济活动,圣诞节也因此成为商家的一个重大活动和主要销售季。 According to the Chinese lunar calendar, August 15 of every year is a traditional Chinese festival-the Mid-Autumn Festival. This day is the middle of autumn, so it is called Mid-Autumn. One of the important Mid-Autumn Festival activities is to enjoy the moon. On that night, people gather together to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, looking up at the bright moon and eating moon cakes. The festival is also a time for family reunion. People living far away from home will express their feelings of missing their hometowns and families at this festival, all expressing people’s love and hope for a happy life. Since 2008, the Mid-Autumn Festival has become an official national holiday in China.

关于英语翻译教学的几点尝试

关于英语翻译教学的几点尝试 人教版初级中学英语课本的语言比旧版课本的语言难度要大一些,有些句子翻译起来踌躇再三。如So a pet can help a person feel less lonely.(L57BIII) 教材提供的译文是:因此宠物可以使人减少孤独感。这句英文因为不能逐字对译,所以不能回译成原文。如果将原文译成:因此有了宠物作伴,人就不至于感到太孤单了。虽然字面上离原文更远,却把原文的内涵译出来了,更忠实于原文,但是从教学的角度来讲,这是一般英语教师不愿意采取的方法,因为除了机械记忆以外,学生看了译文很难再想起原文了,不便于学生理解英、汉两种语言之间的对应关系。又比如:Just before half time, Li Xiaolin made the score 2—1, with a beautiful shot into the top right-hand corner of the boys’ goal.(L62BIII) 这是一个很复杂的长句,带有较多的修饰语,在教学中我们将其译为:就在时间刚刚接近一半时,李晓琳的一个漂亮射门,球从右上角进入了男生队的球门,使比分成了2:1。或者:就在时间刚要到一半儿时,李晓琳的一个漂亮射门使比分成了2:1,球从右上角进入了男生队的球门。对于足球我们是外行,对于足球的有关术语或习惯表达方式我们知之甚少,懂足球的英语教师肯定比我们译的要好得多。 在教材和教参的注释中,有许多精彩的译文可供英语教师借鉴、模仿。如第3册第26课中最后一个长句” He said that he thought more of a person who has one idea and makes it work, than of a person who has a thousand ideas but doesn’t do anything about them.”,课后注释是这样翻译的:他说,比起主意千条而无所作为的人,他更看中一个主意虽不多尔事业有所成的人。如第58课中的一个句子”Herriot knew exactly how they feel when they saw their sick dogs become well again.” 课后注释是这样翻译的:赫里奥特能充分体会到人们看到自己的病狗康复时的心情。这些都是很好的范例。但也有一些值得商榷的地方。 下面提出几个英文句子加以讨论。 1、spirit在教材中共出现了三次:…his spirit of generosity lives on today.(L30BIII) 此处译为“慷慨大方的精神”是准确的。 What kind of spirit do you need to become an inventor?(L26BIII) 此处以为“什么样的精神”或者“何种精神”也是正确的。 They do this for fun and to bring the spirit of Christmas to the people in each house.(L30 BIII) 教参中有段说明:教师可让学生反复诵读该故事,并让学生用自己的话复述,以加深对圣诞精神的理解。教材的编者似乎将the spirit of Christmas 译为“圣诞精神”,这样的翻译似乎可以商榷。该句用了一个介词短语和一个不定式来说明他们此举的目的,将为了去了和带来“圣诞精神”相提并论很不协调,教参的编者可能太局限于本故事的原始意思。为了说明问题,先看看翻译家对Christmasspirit的理解。On Christmas Eve, when we checked into a dingy hotel in Nice, there was no
