词汇的语法对比

汉英词类划分的理据比较及对汉英翻译的意义

汉语词类的划分主要依据词义,即词义的实与虚、动与静、具体与抽象等。英语的词类依据是语法,词类与句子成分有严格的对应关系。

理据的不同造成汉英词类的名同实异,从翻译理论上说,这就是词语“转类法”这一翻译技巧的语言理据。

由于汉英词汇意义存在不对应现象,翻译时应通过各种手段对靶语(英语)的词义加以补充或限定,技巧上表现为词语的增减、阐释、借用、音译等。

1、我进去看了,只记得门警是瑞士兵士,穿着黄色制服,别的没有印象了。

I went there to have a look. All I remember now is that the guards at the entrance were Swiss

soldiers in yellow uniforms.

汉语为加强语气,对于一件事,往往从一个方面说了之后,还要从另一个方面说一说。

英语则不然,前面有了All I remember now is ...,后面如果再说and I don't remember anything else,就显多余。

“方面”、“方式”、“问题”、“情况”之类的范畴词,在汉语句子里没有多少实际意义,但很有用,可以使句子流畅。汉译英时,范畴词可以不译,英译汉时,可以酌情使用。

中国有12亿多人口,陆地自然资源人均占有量低于世界平均水平。

China has a population of more than 1.2 billion, and its land natural resources per capita are lower than the world’s average.

此处“水平”未译。

由于词汇使用频率的不对应,翻译时不能拘泥于字面的对应,而应以整体意义为重,灵活变通。

技巧:某些词汇手段表达的意义,可以用另外的词汇来表达,甚至使用非词汇手段达到目的。

1、前门驱虎,后门进狼。

Fend off one danger only to fall prey to another.

译文中不见了“前门”、“后门”、“虎”和“狼”。

2、汉语表示疑问句用语气助词“吗”,英语则使用词序倒装。

3、汉语用时态助词表时间,英语里用动词变化表时态。

4、汉语用词汇手段,英语用语法手段。

英语翻译答案

汉译英 1.广场舞是社区中老年居民以健身、社交等为目的在广场、公园等开敞的地方进行的健身操或舞蹈,通常以高分贝的音乐伴奏。广场舞在中国大陆无论南北皆十分普遍。对于广场舞的确切认识,社会学界及体育界目前均未达成共识。广场舞的高分贝音乐常常造成噪音滋扰,因此许多居民反对在小区中跳广场舞。 The square dancing is a bodybuilding exercise or dance performed in wide and open places such as squares and parks among the middle-aged and old residents in communities, with the purpose of bodybuilding, socializing and so on, generally accompanied with high-pitched music. The square dancing is very popular all over mainland China, whether in the north or in the south. Neither the sociological circle nor the sports circle has currently reached a consensus on the exact perception of the square dancing. The high-pitched music of the square dancing often causes noisy disruption, and therefore many residents are opposed to the square dancing in communities. 2.故宫,又称紫禁城,是明、清两代的皇宫,二十四位皇帝在此生活起居和处理政务。它是世界现存最大、最完整的木质结构的古建筑群(architectural complex)。宫殿墙壁的色调以红色和黄色为主,红色代表快乐、好运和财富,而黄色代表帝王的神圣和尊贵。近十几年来,故宫平均每年接待中外游客600-800万人次,随着旅游业的繁荣,游客人数有增无减,可见人们对故宫的兴趣长盛不衰。 The Imperial Palace, also known as the Forbidden City, was the palace in Ming and Qing Dynasties where 24 emperors lived and handled government affairs. It is the largest and most complete existing ancient wooden architectural complex in the world. The palace wall was painted mainly in red and yellow. Red represents happiness, luck and fortune while yellow symbolizes imperial holiness and dignity. In recent decades, the Imperial Palace is visited annually by six to eight million tourists at home and abroad. Moreover, with flourishing tourism industry, the number of tourists keeps increasing. It shows people’s everlasting and unfading interest in the Imperial Palace. 3.《新闻联播》是中国中央电视台(CCTV)每日播出的一个新闻节目。节目每次播出时长一般为30分钟。它被中国大陆大多数地方频道同时转播,这使得它成为世界上收看人数最多的节目之一。自从1978年1月1日首次播出以来,它就以客观、生动、丰富的纪实手段记录着中华大地每一天的变化。作为中国官方新闻资讯类节目,《新闻联播》以沉稳、庄重的风格著称。 Xinwen Lianbo is a news program broadcast by China Central Television (CCTV) every day.

汉译英答案3

汉英语篇翻译练习答案: 1.Retirement Attitudes toward retirement vary from person to person. Some people think that they will enjoy their time in retirement, but when it comes they may feel a little disappointed. Unwilling to resign themselves to the prospect of being put on the scrap heap, they try to seek alternative outlets for their energies and alternative sources of income that employment can provide. Others have already prepared themselves for the significant change in their lives. Tired out after all exhaus ting life revolving around work, they are anxious to relax in retirement with all the strains relieved. As there is no more need to rush to catch a morning bus and no more anxiety about promotion, they now have enough time to fulfill an old dream, such as writing, painting, growing flowers and traveling around. On the whole, female workers tend to have a more favorable attitude towards retirement than male workers. Withdrawal from employment to complete domesticity is a far less threatening experience for a woman than for a man. 2. Good-bye, My Ill-fated Motherland! The moment I set foot on the deck of the ship, there began my temporary separation from Chinese oil and a feeling of parting sorrow welled up in my heart. At sailing time, I stood on deck watching the ship receding slowly from the bank until I was out of sight of the towering waterfront buildings and the foreign warships on the Huangpu River. Thereupon I turned round with hot tears in my eyes, murmuri ng, “Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland!” Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland! I own what I am to the upbringing you have given me during the past 22 years. I have spent every day of my life in your warm bosom and under your loving care. Y ou have given me joy and sorrow as well as food and clothing. This is where my close relatives were born and brought up and where I have friends here and there. Y ou gave me a wide variety of happiness in my early childhood, but you have also been the source of my sorrow ever since I began to understand things. Here I have witnessed all sorts of human tragedy. Here I have come to know the times we live in. Here I have undergone untold sufferings. I have been struggling, fighting and, time and again, found myself on the brink of destruction and covered all over with cuts and bruises. I have laid to rest, with tears and sighs, some of my close relatives—relatives victimized by old feudal ethnics. Here, besides beautiful mountains and rivers and fertile farmland, we have ghastly prisons and execution grounds as well. Here bad people hold sway while good people suffer and justice is trodden down underfoot. Here people have to wage a savage struggle in order to win freedom. Here man eats man. O the numerous terrible scenes! O the numerous sad memories! O the grand Y ellow River! O the mysterious Y angtze River! Where on earth are your glories of the past? O my native land! O my people! How can I have the heart to leave you! Good-bye, my ill-fated motherland! Much as I hate you, I’ve got to love you as ever. (选自《英语世界》2004年第三期,张培基译)

unit 9 汉译英中词语的省略

汉译英中词语的省略 1.重复省略 A.四字成语 汉语许多描写性文章,如旅游景观的介绍等,往往使用华丽的词藻和形容词,尤其是四字成语。这些词语或成语往往有同义反复的倾向,而无多大实际意义,大多是出于讲究声韵对仗,渲染气氛等方面考虑。如“甜言蜜语、千姿百态、深思熟虑、争先恐后”等都是同义反复。但英语的风格要求的是简洁明快。因此,在翻译中,要适当减词,不能把汉语行文中堆砌的词藻和形容词都搬到英语中。 1)不仅有历代文人墨客的题咏,而且有美味佳肴和漂亮的工艺品。 2)满树金花,芳香四溢的金桂;花如白雪,香气扑鼻的银桂;红里透黄,花味多浓的紫砂桂;花色似银,季季有花的四季桂,竞相开放,争妍媲美。进入桂林公园, 阵阵桂花香扑鼻而来。 3)因为他们很注意处理各方面的关系,所以八面玲珑,到处有缘。 4)正沿着建设有中国特色的社会主义道路,满怀信心,昂首阔步地迈向二十一世纪。 B.一般词语 不仅是四字成语,其他平行性词语,也是汉语追求韵律和工整的修辞手段,英译时要省略相同意义的词。 1)多数中国人依然关心世事,注重人情,而这些在佛教看来都是虚幻的。 2)五年来新增就业3555万人。 3) 中国饮茶的风尚,到了第七世纪的唐代,已经相当盛行了。 2.习惯省略 英语习惯简洁的表达,对上下文已清楚的信息往往予以省略。因此对汉语中重复的意思,要根据英语表达习惯,采用简化表达。 A.动词 1)他家里很穷,没有什么衣服可穿,也没有什么东西可吃。 2) 搞好社会治安,是关系到人民群众生命财产安全和改革、发展、稳定的大事。 3)……鼓励国内外投资者到中西部投资。 a. …encouraging both Chinese and overseas investors to invest in the central and western regions. b….encouraging both Chinese and overseas investments in the central and western regions. B.名词 汉语一些主谓结构翻译成英语时,谓语形容词往往含有整个主谓结构句子意思。这样这个结构中的主语名词意思就可以省略。 1)由于各种各样的原因,他们常常感到心情压抑,事业受挫。 2)自此而下,江面宽阔,水流平缓,一叶轻舟,顺流而下,沿江景色,饱览无遗。 3)建立办事高效、运转协调、行为规范的行政管理体系。 C.范畴词 英语中有些抽象名词往往已含有汉语中一些表示状态、品质的范畴概念。如“他在我不知道的情况下私自拿走了那东西”,在翻译中就无须译出“情况”:He took it away without my knowledge. 再如:unemployment=失业现象、失业问题;housing=住房问题;emergency=紧急状况;solution=解决方法;complacency=自满情绪;tension=紧张局势;stability=稳定局面。在汉译英时,要省译问题、状况、情绪、看法、局面、气氛、现象这些汉语的范畴词。 1)我们一定要逐步顺利解决沿海同内地贫富差距问题。 2)与此同时,各学校正采取步骤纠正教学和科研不平和的状况。

汉译英翻译技巧分析解析资料讲解

汉译英翻译技巧 一、分清主从(Subordination) 汉语句中各分句关系比较松散,所以在动笔前应认真分析句子要旨所在。句中重点往往在后。英译时,要突出重点或主句,其他部分可分别用介词短语,非谓语动词形式或各种从句表示。 1、没有农业,人们就不能生存,社会生产就不能继续下去。 Without agriculture, people cannot exist, neither can social production proceed. 2、他们一听到“反霸”就火冒三丈,这充分暴露了他们那霸权主义的蛮横嘴脸。 The fact that they fly into a rage at a mere mention of the expression“anti- hegemony”is enough to reveal their true colours as a domineering hegemonists. 3、有人以为社会主义就了不起,一点缺点也没有,哪有这个事? Some believe that socialism is just perfect, without a single flaw. How can that be true? 4、但是,象我们常说的那样,道路总是曲折的,前途总是光明的。 But as we have often said, while the road ahead is tortuous, the future is bright. 二、选词用字(Diction) 在汉译英时应特别注意选找与原文中在意义上和风味上尽可能都类似的词语。 1、每个民族都有它的长处,不然它为什么能存在?为什么能发展?

中国特色词汇的音译

On Translation of Chinese Culture-loaded Words 论中国特色词汇的英译 Introduction Chapter One Chinese Culture-loaded Words 1.1 Definition of Chinese Culture-loaded Words “中国特色词汇”的定义:(从内容与结构两个方面定义) 集中体现中国特有的事物或现象并具有中国语言独有的语言表达形式的一类词汇 1.2 Characteristics of Chinese Culture-loaded Words “中国特色词汇”的特点:(从内容与结构两个方面说明特点) 1.体现中国特色:集中体现中国特有的事物、现象,并往往带有鲜明的时代特 点,涉及政治、经济、社会、文化教育、日常生活等几乎所有领域。(反映的是具有中国特色的事物) 中国特色词汇是相对于普通词汇和外语词汇而言的,是在中外文化交流过程中突显出来的。其往往缺乏直接对应的英文词汇。 这些特殊词汇或表达法语言生动活泼, 形式简洁明了,并且通俗和富有特色,内涵含蓄丰富, 带有丰富的中国文化内涵反映了中国社会在各个时期独特的社会文化现象, 涵 盖政治、经济、文化教育、社会、外交、艺术、科技、网络、日常生活等方方面面。 政治类的,比如,“三讲”,“三通”,“两会代表”,“中国人民政治协商会议”“一00国两制”、“两手抓”、“三个代表”、“三下乡”、“八荣八耻”、“节日腐败”、“双规”、“地方粮票”等;经济类的,比如,“小康”,“龙头企业”,“解困基金”、“包产到户”、“练摊”、“倒爷”、“假日经济”、“黄金周”、“出口创汇”、“回扣”等等;社会类的,如,“安居工程”,“公款吃喝”,“货币化分房”、“托儿”、“红包”、“啃老族”、“毕婚族”、“超女”、“哈日”、“包二奶”、等;文化教育类的:如“禅宗”,“小品”、相声?“高考移民”、“高考状元”、“保送生”、“普九工程”、“希望工程”、“素质教育”等等;生活行为类的,如,“剪彩”,“皈依三宝”等,诸如此类,不胜枚举。 (这些新用语所包括的文化内涵,一开始不为英语国家人民所理解,但随着我国经济文化的繁荣和综合国力的增强,英语国家人民渴望进一步了解中国,他们开始逐步接受其文化中 所没有的这些具有中国特色的用语。) 2.具有中国语言独有的语言表达形式, 包括一些概念、政治术语、短语和汉语 民族文化特色鲜明的词语等。 这些词中, 有些是旧有词汇被赋予了新义, 有些是外来词汇进行了中国化改造, 有些是根据汉语特点新造出来的词汇。从总体上看, 这些特色词汇反映了汉语构词灵活, 内涵丰富的特点, 很难在英语中找到意思一致的词汇或表达, 因此, 给译者带来极 大的困难。 对与其构词灵活的特点,可以做如下分析。汉语的字和词是分开的。汉语的字是有限的,虽然人们还在造新字,但是这是极为有限的。而汉语新词构造却是无限的。汉字的词形较为
