抽象与具体译法

中国人的思维方式和西方人不同,西方人喜欢抽象,长于分析;而中国人喜欢具体,长于综合。由于风俗和语言上的差异,西方人习惯使用含有抽象意义的词语表达思想。此类句子在译成中文时如果处理不当,译文就会晦涩难懂,很别扭。因此,在进行英汉翻译时,应注意汉语习惯,对句子或词语进行妥善处理,力求使译文流畅、准确,使隐形的信息具体化、概括化。 1.将抽象名词(或代词)具体化 西方人在英语中经常使用抽象的概念来表示具体事物。在英语译为汉语的过程中,大多数情况下,将抽象化为具体,有助于提高译文质量。 1)I have too much to tell you and don't know what to begin with.我有许多话要对你说,却不知道从何说起。(原句中的much译为“许多话”,使译文流畅。) 2)Was ever such nonsense written?这样荒唐的东西有人写过吗?(nonsense“胡说八道、废话”在句中被译为“荒唐的东西”,译得恰到好处。) 3)The workshop director issued a communication outlining the details of the work to be done on the shutdown and safety rules to be followed during the work.车间主任签发了一份通知,概括了停机期间的工作项目以及工作中要遵守的安全规则。(communication意为“通讯、联络、传达”,译文中转译成“通知”,保持上下文自然通顺。) 4)You may have something of Roosevelt,something of a Newton in yourself;you may have something very much greater than either of these men manifested waiting your help to give it expression.你或许有罗斯福的才能,牛顿的智慧,你或许具有比他们两人更加伟大的本领,在等待着你将它表现出来。(句中三个something分别被译为“才能”、“智慧”、“本领”,充分展示出该词在特定的场合的丰富内涵。) (5)The need for engineers who can view the whole area of engineering,wide and complicated as it is ,as a single of field of operation of a few laws and methods

抽象与具体在英汉互译中的运用

抽象与具体在英汉互译中的运用 西方人喜欢抽象,中国人喜欢具体。西方人喜欢具体是因为一抽象思维被认为是一种高级思维(superior mind),是文明人的一种象征(mark of civilized man).随着科学技术的发达和文明社会的进步,原有的感性表达方式已不足以表达复杂的理性概念,因而需要借助于抽象、概括的方法。这正如H.Jacobi所说的:……abstract methods of diction were more and more needed as the sphere of ideas to be expressed became narrower and narrower.”此外,许多作者为了显耀其思想深奥而故弄玄虚、追随时尚,也嗜好抽象表达。二,抽象词语意义模糊,便于掩饰作者含混(cloudy)或真实的思想,以迎合其某种表达的需要,因而也得以流行。E.Gowers 指出,“Unfortunately the very vagueness of abstract words is one of the reasons for their popularity.To express one?s thoughts accurately is hard work,and to be precise is sometimes dangerous.We are tempted to prefer the safer obscurity of the abstract.It is the greatest vice of present-day writing.”这种不良的文风常常表现在过分使用涵义抽象、内容虚泛、语气庄严的大字眼(pompous words),有时简直到了装腔作势、令人难以捉摸的地步:

名词的分类、定义和例子(精)

名词的分类、定义和例子 名词是指表示人、事物、地点或抽象概念等的名称词。名词根据其词汇意义,通常分为专有名词和普通名词。而普通名词根据其语法性质,又可以细分为个体名词、物质名词、集合名词和抽象名词四类。 一、专有名词 专有名词主要指人、地方、组织、机构等的专有的名称。专有名词的第一个字母通常大写,如Mary, Mr Black, Paris, Sunday, September, French等。请看例句: They kept it for Mary. 他们留着这个给玛丽。 My plan was to go from Lyon to Paris. 我的计划是从里昂到巴黎。 The park is open from May through September. 公园从5月到9月开放。 I work every other day: Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 我隔天上班:每周 一、三、五。 二、普通名词 普通名词通常指人、物、概念等的一般名称。事实上,除了专有名词外,其余的名词都可以叫普通名词。如:boy, pen, teacher, water, idea, cloudy, money等。注意,有少数的普通名词与专有名词词形相同,只是用作普通名词时第一个字母用小写,而用作专有名词时第一个字母用大写。如: He saw the best china in China. 他在中国见到了最好的瓷器。 Mrs. Green likes to wear green clothes. 格林夫人喜欢穿绿色衣服。 三、个体名词 所谓个体名词就是指表示人或物的个体的名词。如boy, girl, tree, book, cup, desk等。在通常情况下,个体名词都是可数的。如:

科技英语抽象名词的特点及翻译

科技英语抽象名词的特点及翻译Ξ 刘兰云 杜耀文 (太原理工大学文理学院 太原市 030024) 摘 要 本文通过大量实例,分析和论述了科技英语中抽象名词的特点,并对其英汉翻译方法作了进一步的探讨。 关键词 科技英语 抽象名词 翻译 Abstract Through concrete examples,this paper analyses and explains relevant characteristics of abstract noun of EST and meanwhile delves further into its translation from English to Chinese. K ey w ords EST abstract noun translation 英语中,科技文体在修辞、语法和词汇使用等方面都与其他文体,如小说、新闻报道等迥然不同。科技文体具有逻辑严密、概念准确、句式严整、重点突出等特点。其中,科技英语大量使用名词化结构,特别是使用抽象名词(ab2 stract noun),是其有别于其它文体的特色之一。抽象名词是一类特殊的名词,它不代表具体事物,而是表达一种抽象的概念。抽象名词多由普通动词或形容词衍生而来。如expand→ex2 pansion(膨胀),aquire→aquisition(获得),stable →stability(稳定性)等。科技英语文章的作者之所以大量使用抽象名词,一方面是由于这类名词使概念表达准确而清晰,不易产生歧义,行文简练;另一方面也由于作者在心理上和考虑问题时对过程、特征、现象和结果较为关注,而这类词恰好可贴切表达作者的这种愿望。同时多数抽象名词的义域(senlatic sphese)深广,要求在翻译时认真分析和斟酌才能切中要义。以下结合实例谈谈抽象名词在科技英语中的特点及其翻译问题。 11抽象名词可突出重点简化句型,如: The rotation of the earth on its own axis causes the change from day to night. (地球绕轴自转,引起昼夜的变化。) 说明:其中抽象名词rotation使概念突出而更加确切清晰,同时可使句子简化;若不用抽象名词rotation,不仅使句子成为复合句:The earth rotates on its own axis,which causes the change from day to night,而且使读者不易立即掌握主要概念。 Archimedes first discovered the principle of displacement of water by solid bodies. (阿基米德首先发现固体排水的原理。) 说明:抽象名词displacement既起强调概念的作用,又可简化句子,否则该句则需写成: Archimedes first discovered the principle that water is displaced by solid bodies。 21抽象名词的词性转换,如: The adoption of this new device will greatly cut down the percentage of defective products. (采用这种新装置可大大地降低废品率。) 说明:在翻译时抽象名词adoption就译为:汉语动词“采用”,取代“to adopt this new de2 vice”。 The photo mask must possess dimensional2 stability. (光掩模必须具有稳定的尺寸。) 说明:抽象名词stability(稳定性)转译为形容词“稳定的”。 31抽象名词具有深广的义域,如: In the newer,faster computers being de2 signed,the internal computational abilities have become so fast that rather sophisticated input-output equipment,and organization of this equip2 ment,is required even for problems having rela2 第13卷4期2000年11月 中国科技翻译 CHIN ESE SCIENCE&TECHNOLO GY TRANSLATORS JOURNAL Vol.13.No.4 Nov.2000 Ξ收稿日期:2000—01—10—17
