1.Farewell Address at Springfield

By Abraham Lincoln

Friends:

No one who has never been placed in a like position can understand my feeling at this hour, nor the oppressive sadness I feel at this parting.

For more than a quarter of a century I have lived among you, and received nothing but kindness at your hands. Here I have lived from my youth, until now I am an old man. Here the most sacred ties of earth were assumed. Here all my children were born, here one of them lies buried. To you, dear friends, I owe all that I have, all that I am. All the strange, checkered past seems now to crowd upon my mind.

Today I leave you, I go to assume a task more difficult than that which devolved upon Washington. Unless the great God who assisted him shall be with me and aid me, I must fail, but if the same omniscient mind and almighty arm that directed and protected him shall guide and support me, I shall not fail, I shall succeed.

Let us all pray that the God of our fathers may not forsake us now. To him I commend you all. Permit me to ask that, with equal security and faith, you will invoke His wisdom and guidance for me. With these few words I must leave you, for how long I know not. Friends, one and all, I must now bid you an affectionate farewell.

2.2004年专八英译汉试题

For me the most interesting thing about a solitary life, and mine has been that for the last twenty years, is that it becomes increasingly rewarding. When I can wake up and watch the sun rise over the ocean, as I do most days, and know that I have an entire day ahead, uninterrupted, in which to write a few page, take a walk with my dog, read and listen to music, I am flooded with happiness.

I am lonely only when I am overtired, when I have worked too long without a break, when for the time being I feel empty and need filling up. And I am lonely sometimes when I come back home after a lecture trip, when I have seen a lot of people and talked a lot, and am full to the brim with experience that needs to be sorted out.

Then for a little while the house feels huge and empty, and I wonder where my self is hiding. It has to be recaptured slowly by watering the plants and, perhaps, by looking again at each one as though it were a person.

It takes a while, as I watch the surf blowing up in fountains, but the moment comes when the

world falls away, and the self emerges again from the deep unconscious, bringing back all I have recently experienced to be explored and slowly understood.

3.Preface to Translation, History and Culture

By Susan Bassnett & Andre Lefevere

The growth of Translation Studies as a separate discipline is a success story of the 1980s. The subject has developed in many parts of the world and is clearly destined to continue developing well into twenty-first century. Translation Studies brings together work in a wide variety of fields, including linguistics, literary study, history, anthropology, psychology, and economics. This series of books will reflect the breadth of work in Translation Studies and will enable readers to share in the exciting new developments that are taking place at the present time.

Translation is, of course, a rewriting of an original text. All rewritings, whatever their intention, reflect a certain ideology and a poetics and as such manipulate literature to function in a given society in a given way. Rewriting is manipulation, undertaken in the service of power, and in its positive aspect can help in the evolution of a literature of a society. Rewriting can introduce new concepts, new genres, new devices, and the history of translation is the history also of literary innovation, of the shaping power of one culture upon another. But rewriting can also repress innovation, distort and contain, and in an age of ever increasing manipulation of all kinds, the study of the manipulative processes of literature as exemplified by translation can help us towards a greater awareness of the world in which we live.

Since this series of books on Translation Studies is the first of its kind, it will be concerned with its own genealogy. It will publish texts from the past that illustrate its concerns in the present, and will publish texts of a more theoretical nature immediately addressing those concerns, along with case studies illustrating manipulation through rewriting in various literatures. It will be comparative in nature and will range through many literary traditions both Western and non-Western. Through the concepts of rewriting and manipulation, this series aims to tackle the problem of ideology, change, and power in literature and society and to assert the central function of translation as a shaping force. (The authors are well-known translation theorists, one American, the other British, and Translation, History and Culture is one of their numerous co-edited series of books.)

4. A Shooter

By William Cobbett

I was once acquainted with a famous shooter whose name was William Ewing. He was a barrister of Philadelphia, but became far more renowned by his gun than by his law cases. We spent scores of days together a-shooting, and were extremely well matched, I having excellent

dogs and caring little about my reputation as a shot, his dogs being good for nothing, and he caring more about his reputation as a shot than as a lawyer. The fact which I am going to relate respecting this gentleman, ought to be a warning to young men, how they become enamoured of this species of vanity. We had gone about ten miles from our home, to shoot where partridges were said to be very plentiful. We found them so. In the course of a November day, he had, just before dark, shot, and sent to the farm-house, or kept in his bag, ninety-nine partridges. He made some few double shots, and he might have a miss or two, for he sometimes shot when out of my sight, on account of the woods. However, he said that he killed at every shot; and as he had counted the birds, when we went to dinner at the farm-house and when he cleaned his gun, he, just before sun-set, knew that he had killed ninety-nine partridges, every one upon the wing, and a great part of them in woods very thickly set with largish trees. It was a grand achievement; but, unfortunately, he wanted to make it a hundred . The sun was setting, and, in that country, darkness comes almost at once; it is more like the going out of a candle than that of a fire; and I wanted to be off, as we had a very bad road to go, and as he, being under strict petticoat government, to which he most loyally and dutifully submitted, was compelled to get home that night, taking me with him, the vehicle (horse and gig) being mine. I, therefore, pressed him to come away, and moved on myself towards the house (that of old John Brown, in Bucks county, grandfather of that General Brown, who gave some of our whiskered heroes such a rough handling last war, which was waged for the purpose of "deposing James Madison"), at which house I would have stayed all night, but from which I was compelled to go by that watchful government, under which he had the good fortune to live. Therefore I was in haste to be off. No: he would kill the hundredth bird! In vain did I talk of the bad road and its many dangers for want of moon. The poor partridges, which we had scattered about, were calling all around us; and, just at this moment, up got one under his feet, in a field in which the wheat was three or four inches high. He shot and missed . "That's it," said he, running as if to pick up the bird. "What!" said I, "you don't think you killed , do you? Why there is the bird now, not only alive, but calling in that wood"; which was at about a hundred yards distance. He, in that form of words usually employed in such cases, asserted that he shot the bird and saw it fall; and I, in much about the same form of words, asserted that he had missed , and that I, with my own eyes, saw the bird fly into the wood. This was too much! To miss once out of a hundred times! To lose such a chance of immortality! He was a good-humoured man; I liked him very much; and I could not help feeling for him, when he said, "Well, sir , I killed the bird; and if you choose to go away and take your dog away, so as to prevent me from finding it, you must do it; the dog is yours, to be sure." "The dog," said I, in a very mild tone, "why, Ewing, there is the spot; and could we not see it, upon this smooth green surface, if it were there?" However, he began to look about ; and I called the dog, and affected to join him in the search. Pity for his weakness got the better of my dread of the bad road. After walking backward and forward many times upon about twenty yards square with our eyes to the ground, looking for what both of us knew was not there, I had passed him (he was going one way and I the other), and I happened to be turning

round just after I had passed him, when I saw him, putting his hand behind him, take a partridge out of his bag and let it fall upon the ground ! I felt no temptation to detect him, but turned away my head, and kept looking about. Presently he, having returned to the spot where the bird was, called out to me, in a most triumphant tone, "Here ! here ! Come here!" I went up to him, and he, pointing with his finger down to the bird, and looking hard in my face at the same time, said, "There, Cobbett; I hope that will be a warning to you never to be obstinate again!" "Well," said I, "come along:" and away we went as merry as larks. When we got to Brown's, he told them the story, triumphed over me most clamorously; and though he often repeated the story to my face, I never had the heart to let him know that I knew of the imposition, which puerile vanity had induced so sensible and honourable a man to be mean enough to practise.

5. An excerpt from Keynes’s work

When President Wilson left Washington he enjoyed a prestige and a moral influence throughout the world unequaled in history. His bold and measured words carried to the peoples of Europe above and beyond the voices of their own politicians. The enemy peoples trusted him to carry out the compact he had made with them; and the Allied peoples acknowledged him not as a victor only but almost as a prophet. In addition to this moral influence the realities of power were in his hands. The American armies were at the height of their numbers, discipline, and equipment. Europe was in complete dependence on the food supplies of the United States; and financially she was even more absolutely at their mercy. Europe not only already owed the United States more than she could pay; but only a large measure of further assistance could save her from starvation and bankruptcy. Never had a philosopher held such weapons wherewith to bind the princes of this world. How the crowds of the European capitals pressed about the carriage of the President! With what curiosity, anxiety, and hope we sought a glimpse of the features and bearing of the man of destiny who, coming from the West, was to bring healing to the wounds of the ancient parent of his civilization and lay for us the foundations of the future.

(Some words omitted.)

The disillusion was so complete, that some of those who had trusted most hardly dared speak of it. Could it be true? they asked of those who returned from Paris. Was the Treaty really as bad as it seemed? What had happened to the President? What weakness or what misfortune had led to so extraordinary, so unlooked-for a betrayal?

(Some words omitted.)

The Old World's heart of stone might blunt the sharpest blade of the bravest knight-errant. But this blind and deaf Don Quixote was entering a cavern where the swift and glittering blade was in the hands of the adversary.

6.Reconstruction in Philosophy (excerpt)

By John Dewey

Man differs from the lower animals because he pre serves his past experiences. What happened in the past is lived again in memory. About what goes on today hangs a cloud of thoughts concerning similar things undergone in bygone days. With the animals, an experience perishes as it happens, and each new doing or suffering stands alone. But man lives in a world where each occurrence is charged with echoes and reminiscences of what has gone before, where each event is a reminder of other things. Hence he lives not, like the beasts of the field, in a world of merely physical things but in a world of signs and symbols. A stone is not merely hard, a thing into which one bumps; but it is a monument of a deceased ancestor. A flame is not merely something which warms or burns, but is a symbol of the enduring life of the household, of the abiding source of cheer, nourishment and shelter to which man returns from his casual wanderings. Instead of being a quick fork of fire which may sting and hurt, it is the hearth at which one worships and for which one fights. And all this which marks the difference between bestiality and humanity, between culture and merely physical nature, is because man remembers, preserving and recording his experiences.

The revivals of memory are, however, rarely literal. We naturally remember what interests us and because it interests us. The past is recalled not because of itself but because of what it adds to the present. Thus the primary life of memory is emotional rather than intellectual and practical. Savage man recalled yesterday s struggle with an animal not in order to study in a scientific way the qualities of the animal or for the sake of calculating how better to fight tomorrow, but to escape from the tedium of today by regaining the thrill of yesterday. The memory has all the excitement of the combat without its danger and anxiety. To revive it and revel in it is to enhance the present moment with a new meaning, a meaning different from that which actually belongs either to it or to the past. Memory is vicarious experience in which there is all the emotional values of actual experience without its strains, vicissitudes and troubles. The triumph of battle is even more poignant in the memorial war dance than at the moment of victory; the conscious and truly human experience of the chase comes when it is talked over and re-enacted by the camp fire. At the time, attention is taken up with practical details and with the strain of uncertainty. Only later do the details compose into a story and fuse into a whole of meaning. At the time of practical experience man exists from moment to moment, pre occupied with the task of the moment. As he resurveys all the moments in thought, a drama emerges with a beginning, a middle and a movement toward the climax of achievement or defeat.

Since man revives his past experience because of the interest added to what would otherwise be the emptiness of present leisure, the primitive life of memory is one of fancy and imagination, rather than of accurate recollection. After all, it is the story, the drama, which counts. Only those incidents are selected which have a

present emotional value, to intensify the present tale as it is rehearsed in imagination or told to an admiring listener. What does not add to the thrill of combat or contribute to the goal of success or failure is dropped. Incidents are rearranged till they fit into the temper of the tale. Thus early man when left to himself, when not actually engaged in the struggle for existence, lived in a world of memories which was a world of suggestions. A suggestion differs from a recollection in that no 1 attempt is made to test its correctness. Its correctness is a matter of relative indifference. The cloud suggests a camel or a man s face. It could not suggest these things unless some time there had been an actual, literal experience of camel and face. But the real likeness is of no account. The main thing is the emotional interest in tracing the camel or following the fortunes of the face as it forms and dissolves.

Students of the primitive history of mankind tell of the enormous part played by animal tales, myths and cults. Sometimes a mystery is made out of this historical fact, as if it indicated that primitive man was moved by a different psychology from that which now animates humanity. But the explanation is, I think, simple. Until agriculture and the higher industrial arts were developed, long periods of empty leisure alternated with comparatively short periods of energy put forth to secure food or safety from attack. Because of our own habits, we tend to think of people as busy or occupied, if not with doing at least with thinking and planning. But then men were busy only when engaged in the hunt or fishing or fighting expedition. Yet the mind when awake must have some filling; it cannot remain literally vacant because the body is idle. And what thoughts should crowd into the human mind except experiences with animals, experiences transformed under the influence of dramatic interest to make more vivid and coherent the events typical of the chase? As men in fancy dramatically re-lived the interesting parts of their actual lives, animals inevitably became themselves dramatized.

英汉翻译练习1-The Three New Yorks

The Three New Y orks E. B. White There are roughly three New Yorks. There is, first, the New York of the man or woman who was born here, who takes the city for granted and accepts its size and its turbulence as natural and inevitable. Second, there is the New York of the commuters ——the city that is devoured by locusts each day and spat out each night. Third, there is the New York of the person who was born somewhere else and came to New York in quest of something. Of these three trembling cities the greatest is the last ——the city of final destination, the city that is a goal. It is this third city that accounts for New York's high-strung disposition, its poetical deportment, its dedication to the arts, and its incomparable achievements. Commuters give the city its tidal restlessness, natives give it solidarity and continuity, but the settlers give it passion. And whether it is a farmer arriving from Italy to set up a small grocery store in a slum, or a young girl arriving from a small town in Mississippi to escape the indignity of being observed by her neighbors, or a boy arriving from the Corn Belt with a manuscript in his suitcase and a pain in his heart, it makes no difference: each embraces New York with the intense excitement of first love, each absorbs New York with the fresh eyes of an adventurer, each generates heat and light to dwarf the Consolidated Edison Company. 三方面看纽约 大致上可以从三个方面解读纽约。首先,出生在这里的纽约的男人或女人,他们把这座城市作为理所当然的存在并认为它的规模和动荡是自然和不可避免的。第二,有纽约的上班族——这个城市每天白天像被蝗虫吞噬进去然后每天晚上吐了出来。第三,出生在其他地方的纽约人带着追求来到纽约。 这三类纽约人中,最伟大的是最后一类人——纽约是对于他们是最终归宿的城市和目标与机遇的城市。是第三类人对纽约的紧张的秉性、诗人的涵养、对艺术的执着和无与伦比的成就做出了解释。 上班族给纽约带来了潮汐般的坐立不安,当地人给它团结和连续性,但是定居者给它的激情。不管是一个来自意大利农夫为了在贫民窟开设一个杂货店,还是一个来自密西西比州的年轻姑娘为了逃避邻居的对她的偷窥,或者一个来自玉米带的男孩用手提箱带着他的手稿和内心的痛楚,情况都没有什么区别:每个与纽约的拥抱都带着初恋般的激动,每次对纽约的接纳都带着冒险家的新奇目光,每份光和热,足以令爱迪生联合电气公司相形见绌。 英本1004班 王汉朝

科技英语翻译的原则_方法及技巧.

翻译是把一种语言里已经表达出来的事物用另一种语言准确流畅地进行重新表达的过程。与其他题材的文章相比,科技专业文章在内容、表达形式和风格上有很大的差别,具有科技性强、专业性强、逻辑严密、表达要求简练的特点,在翻译上力求准确全面、严谨明确和通顺简练。 1科技英语翻译遵循的基本原则 从科技文章的特点来看,大多具有以下几个特征:述说事理、逻辑性强、结构严密、术语繁多,语言严谨、数据精确。这就要求译文必须概念清楚、条理分明、逻辑正确、数据无误,尤其对定义、定律、公式、图表、结论等更应特别注意。科技英语作为特殊英语的一个分支,在词汇构成、遣词造句等方面都有其自身的特点,其语法结构不十分严密、语言习惯和汉语也有不少差别、词汇量大、词语繁多,因此科技英语翻译起来比较困难。另外,科技文章比较重视叙事逻辑上的连贯及表达上的明晰与畅达; 避免行文晦涩,避免表露个人感情,避免论证上的主观随意性。因此,科技英语翻译力求少用或不用描述性形容词以及具有抒情作用的副词、感叹词及疑问词,而是大量使用科技词汇、专业技术用语,译者应尊重客观事实,不能随意改动数据、回避不易翻译的文字,更不能加进自己的主观想象,进行自由翻译。 我国著名翻译家严复提出的“信、达、雅”三准则一直为不少翻译工作者所接受。 “信”指的是译文要忠实于原文,“达”是指译文的通顺达意,“雅”指的是译文的用词修辞。三准则体现了译文和原文信息等值这一基本要领。 “信、达、雅”的翻译准则对各种英语文体的翻译实践都具有指导意义,是衡量一篇译文好坏的标准,也同样适用于科技文献的翻译。由于科技文章特有的文体特征,与其他类文章相比,其“达”和“雅”的内涵不同,它要求在准确传达信息的基础上,使译文更加简洁明快,流畅通顺。2科技英语翻译的基本方法

“翻译是艺术的高级形式。绘画必须栩栩如生,跃然纸上;音乐必须抑扬顿挫,富有旋律;雕刻必须精镂细刻,曲尽其妙。而翻译既需要绘画之真实,又需要音乐之旋律,更需要雕刻之匠心。这不是技术,而是艺术,而是精湛的综合性艺术。”----莫里逊(morrison)(一)翻译的人物言论 1.翻译简史 东汉安世高,大规模从事译经活动 唐代佛经翻译,鼎盛 北宋衰落 2.三大翻译家: ①鸠摩罗什,印度,对翻译方法及理论有深入的研究,提倡译者署名以负文责。最早提出了如何表现原文文体与语趣的重要问题。“鸠摩罗什者,译界第一流宗匠也”----梁启超 ②真谛,西印度,译了49部经论,其中《摄大乘论》影响较大。 ③玄奘,贞观时期,梵译汉,汉(老子著作的一部分)译梵,是第一个向国外介绍汉文著作的中国人。其译场比以前要健全和严密得多,译经质量也很高。 “五不翻”指译音不译意。指不翻神秘语、多义词、中国没有的物名、久以通行的音译、宣扬佛教的用语。 3.道安,东晋,“五失本,三不易”。 4.慧远,东晋,“简繁理秽,以详其中”。 5.彦琮,隋初,《辩证论》:“八备说”。

6.林纾(琴南),清末,不懂外语,与人合作共译180余中西洋小说。 7.严复,清末,明确提出翻译标准的第一人。 在《天演论》卷首的《译例言》中提出“信达雅”的翻译标准。“译事三难:求其信,已大难已。顾信矣不达,虽译尤不译也,则达尚焉。海通以来,象寄之才,随地多有;而任取一书,责其能与于斯二矣,则已寡矣。其故在浅尝,一也;偏至,二也;辨之者少,三也。” 8.矛盾:“直译”、“神韵”。 9.朱自清:“译诗”。 10.郭沫若:“媒婆”论、“风韵”论。 11.瞿秋白:翻译必须“非常忠实”,追求“精确”;“语言”与“言语”的异同。

汉英翻译第十讲时与体

汉英翻译第十讲时与体第九讲练习讲评 本来,生命只有一次,对于谁都是宝贵的。但是,假使他的生命溶化在大众的事业里面,假使他天天在为这世界干事业是不死的,他会领略到“永久的年轻”的感觉。而“浮生如梦”的人,从这个世界拿去的很多,而给这世界的却很少——他总有一天会觉得疲乏得快要死亡:他连拿都没有力量了。衰老和无能的悲哀,像铅一样沉重,压在他的心头。青春是多么短啊。 One has but one life to live and, naturally, it is treasured by all. However, if one is dedicated to the cause of the people, if he does something every day for the world, he is living and, though eventually he will die, the cause he lives for—the cause of the

people will never die. In other words, he will gain a sense of “eternal youth” As for the one who lives his life like a floating cloud, he takes a lot from the world but gives little in return. Sooner or later he will be approaching death with such tiredness that he will find himself deprived of the energy to “take”. The n the grief caused by age and impotence will make him feel as if he was heavily loading a piece of lead in the mind. How fast youth goes! 人的生命只有一次,人们视为无价之宝,爱惜它,重视它。这是人之常情。可是等待生活的态度千差万别。归纳起来,不外乎两大类:一,有人感到生命宝贵而短暂,将生命溶化在大众的事业里面,天天在为这世界干事业,领略到了“永久的年轻”的感觉;二,有人感到生命宝贵而短暂,感到“浮生如梦”,沉迷于享受,懒惰与工作,从这个世界拿去的很多,而给这世界的却很少,可是持这种生活态度的人,总有一天会觉得疲

Manuscripts which are acceptable but in need of improvement should be allowed publication after they have been revised and polished by the editors. 5. The practice of giving lavish feasts at weddings can well be dispensed with. III. Translate the following passage into Chinese. 如果人们想通过“不合时的死亡”这个词表达什么的话,他们肯定相信有些死亡要比另一些死亡来得合时一些。老年时逝去很少被称为是不合时的――长命百岁被认为是完整的生命。但如果是一个年轻人逝去,人们会设想大好年华还在后面,还不能对生命做出评价。 历史当然会否认这种观点。在那些英年早逝的人当中,人们会想起玛丽莲·梦露,詹姆斯·迪恩斯。他们的生命看起来既短暂又完整。作家们难以接受诗人济慈26岁即逝去的事实,只能半开玩笑地认为他们自己26岁还一事无成。那种认为中断的生命是不完整的想法是不合逻辑的,因为生命的价值是由他们留给世界的影响及其成就与美德来衡量的。IV. Translate the following passage into English. Those who gain fame most often gain it as a result of exploiting their talent for singing, dancing, painting, or writing, etc. They develop a style that agents market agressively to hasten popularity, and their ride on the express elevator to the top is a blur. Most would be hard-pressed to tell you how they even got there. Artists cannot remain idle, though. When the performer ,

汉英翻译练习十篇

1.浪漫 一个小伙子暗恋着一个女孩。女孩是他的同事,他们在一个办公室里工作。小伙子性格内向,不善言辞,他不知道如何向女孩子表达他的爱慕之意。写情书罢,小伙子是学理工的,一直搞技术工作,满脑子的图形,就是没有一句有文采的话。小城也没有鲜花店,电影电视上常见的送花那一套也无从说起。至于直接了当地告诉女孩子说“我爱你”,小伙子就更没有那胆量了。 这样的恋情应该说是没有什么希望的了。事实上一年后他们却结了婚。有人向小伙子讨教,他说:“我每天上班第一件事就是帮她擦桌子,然后为她泡上一杯她喜欢喝的绿茶。她的胃不好,我经常备些胃药放在她的桌上。一开始她不知道是我做的这些事情,时间长了就知道了。就这么简单。” 忍不住叫人想到“浪漫”一词。写情书是一种浪漫,送99朵玫瑰是一种浪漫。我不知道,擦桌子泡茶送药是否也是一种浪漫。浪漫是没有定式的,或许那些实实在在地呵护和关爱才是真正的浪漫,它是生命之火所点燃的最绚烂的花朵。

2.家信 大学时代,情书可以少写或不写,家信是少不了的。 刚进大学时,陌生的环境,陌生的人群,甚至连宿舍楼下的磁卡电话也是陌生的。于是,隔三差五一封又一封的家信带着深深的眷恋飞向父母手中。识字不多的父亲读着洋溢着南国气息的来信,觉得最惬意不过了:小学毕业的母亲竟也听得津津有味……尽管她始终搞不懂“克隆”技术究竟是怎么一回事。 入学后的新鲜感消失后,信也渐渐地少了,不会再把饭盆磕掉一块瓷之类的事告诉父母了。不过,写家信的一个最大的好处是:它让我忽然觉悟到父母深藏不露的幽默。父母的回信上,除了老生常谈的好好学习、遵守纪律外,还有一些令大学教授都为之皱眉的离奇的事。例如,最近一封来信,正值联合国秘书长安南为解决伊拉克武器核查危机前往巴格达而进行外交斡旋。父亲在信中说,报上那个隐形战斗机分明可以看到,干嘛说它“隐形”呢? 对于这类问题,我总是写信耐心地解释给他们听。回答不了的,查资料,问老师,以满足这两位“编外大学生”的求知欲望。去年寒假回家,母亲竟然背诵出“信息高速公路”的定义来……当然,有几处是父亲提醒的。 父母同样需要新鲜知识,需要倾心交流,需要关爱和理解,家信是再好不过了。拿起笔来,写封家信吧,偶尔撒个娇也无妨。
