第一篇:学习英语翻译的感悟
学习外宣翻译的感悟
1202421063 陆兴兴
我是第一小组的成员陆兴兴,此次在本组担任的外国语学院概况的第一段和最后一句话和译稿的二改。通过这次翻译和这个学期以来的练习,我进一步的了解了外宣英语,掌握了一些翻译技巧和老师讲的几个翻译要点。
翻译是将一种语言承载的意义转换到另一种语言文化中的跨语言,跨文化的交际活动,其本质是释义;是意义的转化。用我自己的理解:它就是把另一种语言用自己的话说出来。我们知道对作为一名真正的翻译工作者来说,他必需清楚翻译活动所涉及的诸多因素:译者、作者、原文、原文作者、译文、译文读者等。记得在上第一节翻译课的时候,老师就说过:学习英语翻译必须掌握汉英翻译的标准,即信、达、雅。所谓“信”指标准地传达原文的内容,即信于作者和读者,不允许对原作有任何歪曲或篡改,译作不容许有任何遗漏和省略,译者若有意阉割原作内容,则无异于违背职业道德。“达”指译文使用标准汉语,即译文语言应通俗明白,不应模棱两可,晦涩难懂,不滥用陈词滥调,繁文缛句,也不应该有粗枝大叶的错误。“雅”指译文的美学价值,它体现在修辞,文体、韵律、诗意和心理等五个方面,雅的译文应该优美,有喻义,能激起读者心灵深处的同情和共鸣,给人艺术上的享受和精神上的满足。但要想做到这三方面,不仅仅需要丰厚的文化底蕴,熟悉中国和英国的历史、文化、生活方式,人们的世界观,价值观,而且必须具备深厚的文字功底。但对于我们这些初学翻译的人,若我们能较好地掌握”信“和”达“,不仅有利于我们学习西方国家的文化,有利于英语交流,而且对我们即将要参加的全国英语专业八级考试或者英语专业硕士研究生考试将会起到巨大作用。
在团队合作方面,我们组一直以来关于小组作业就有问题,组内不合作,对于工作坊而言很难把作业做好,每个人都有每个人的用词习惯和所认知的范围,把五个人的想法聚集到一处去是很难得,而且我们小组在一开始的时候有个别同学根本就不参与讨论或者初稿,其他几个人也不好意思说,导致后来作业一直往后推,甚至在上课前一天才做好作业。合作,于我而言,不仅仅是尽好自己的本分,还要照顾到全组的利益。
总之,不管将来我们是否要从事翻译工作,但是对于学习英语这门语言的我们,在学习基础翻译的过程中,应该进行各种练习,以巩固我们所学习的知识,提高翻译能力,以便为我们将来在择业时多一个选择的方向。

第二篇:英语翻译学习心得体会
英语翻译的学习需要广泛的知识储备,所以平时的积累的也是很重要的。下面是写写帮文库带来的英语翻译学习的心得体会,仅供参考。
英语翻译学习心得体会一:
英语翻译学习应该重在平时积累,把学习当做一种乐趣,以下《英语翻译学习心得体会》由出国留学网心得体会栏目为您精心提供,欢迎大家浏览。
我很荣幸的进入了一家外企,成了一名翻译,虽然我是学的英语专业,但是翻译却给我带了不少的困难,所以我还要不停的学习新的知识不断的充实自己。
说到技能,翻译是一项专业性很强的工作。笔译是锻炼一个人语言功底很好的方法,同时也是做好口译的重要基础。从口译的角度说,如果语言文字有了比较坚实的基础,接下来我认为表达和思维就至关重要。
练表达,一个好的方法就是视译。同事给了我一些材料,这些都是非常有针对性的材料,因此可以使得练习变得很有效率。在拿到材料以后应该调整好状态,想象自己就在翻译的现场,给自己造成一定的压力。看到材料中的中文后,争取在最短的时间内用最流利的语言表达出来。如果有哪些词或句说得不通顺或者结构不好,就可以记在笔记本上,之后可以向他人请教或者自己进行查找。通过反复的训练,在表达方面便有可能取得较为明显的进步。
练思维,在英译中时,听力是基础,首先作为译员,自己必须明白对方所要表达的内容。有了这个前提,接下来便是思考如何用精练的句子传达出来,这对思维有着很高的要求。单单只是听懂是远远不够的,因为口译译员是一座沟通的桥梁,所以译员的表达应该是工整的,让受众能够非常顺畅地理解对方的意思甚至是精髓。所以中文的功底在这时就显得至关重要。语言是不同的,但又是相通的。因此,两种语言不应该有所偏颇。
但是不论是表达抑或是思维,翻译最需要的勤学苦练,在不断的学习中不断地提高。在我看来,这是成为一名好翻译,一名不会落伍的翻译的最重要的前提。在翻译处这几个月以来,我的另一个很深的体会便是处里的同事时时刻刻都在学习新的知识,新的说法,新的词汇,我觉得正是这种精神让他们成为优秀的翻译,我想作为新入部的公务员,更应该时刻谨记学习的重要性,不断地向前看。
还有,作为翻译,语言只是一个重要地前提,而博学则可以为翻译工作提供坚实的知识理论的保证。在进行翻译工作的过程中,一定会接触到各个领域,如果不去进行查找学习,那么在翻译的时候可能就会出现只翻出了表面,而没有把其中真正的内涵传达到。有时更有甚者,会闹出一些不应该有的笑话。所以在平时多涉猎一些其他方面的知识是对翻译工作的一种知识储备。因此可以说,一个好的译员应该是一个博学的人。
英语翻译的学习需要广泛的知识储备,所以平时的积累的也是很重要的,这就是我个人学习英语翻译的一些体会,当然我还有一个很好的学习的平台,就是这份翻译的工作,所以我一定会努力完成我的工作。
英语翻译学习心得体会二:
我从正式开始学习翻译到现在,不过两年时间。作为一个年轻的翻译爱好者,我对翻译这门让人时而绝望时而又充满希望的艺术,有着自己最真实的经历与感悟。在此想借本文与所有翻译新手共勉。
关于英汉互译的研究著作可谓汗牛充栋,各种派别观点层出不穷,让后来者眼花缭乱,却又无从选择。其实从英译汉的角度来说,究其本质,过程无非就两个步骤:1、准确理解英文原文;2、用地道的中文表达原文的含义。
如何准确理解英文原文
我们先来谈谈第一个步骤,如何准确理解英文原文——这一点说白了就是考验译者的阅读理解能力。如果说在阅读中遇到不认识的单词或词组,译者尚且能够通过查阅字典的方式解决的话,那么英语中繁复多样的句式往往就不是一本字典可以打发的了。尤其在阅读文学性较强的英语作品时,作者行云流水般的笔触通常都是借助丰富多变的句型来表现的。这些英语作品与我们日常教科书本中选取的文章相比,往往来得更为艰深难懂。怎么办?惟一的办法就是从头做起:
1、确保自己在学校中或是培训班上接触到的一切阅读材料都能够完全透彻地理解。
千万不要小瞧学校老师为你选择的阅读教材,或许它们所触及的话题不是非常新鲜前卫,或许它们涵盖的内容与你的兴趣爱好相悖。但是,它们却能在不经意间为你打下阅读基础的坚实栋梁。
2、在学有余力的基础上,可以选择一些英语课外读物来扩充自己的阅读量。
对具体英语读物的选择其实还是有些讲究的。比如,有些学生对文学类作品很感兴趣,但并不意味着他们在一开始就该选择那些厚得像砖块一样的原版名著来阅读,因为这样做无异于“自杀”。究其原因,仅其中的生词就足以使阅读者信心全无。那么,那些有中英文对照的版本是否能称为上佳之选呢?答案依然为否。因为这极易激发读者的惰性,尤其对阅读量有限的读者来说更是如此。
对此我的建议是,选择那些名著的缩写本,并且是配有详细注释的版本。在阅读过程中,读者往往很难定位陌生的词组或表达。比如说有这样一句话:HesaidthatIwaswayoutofthatgirl’sleague.初次见到这个表达的人可能以为只要查到league的中文意思问题就解决了,他们无法立刻意识到,AbeoutofB’sleague是一个完整的词组表达式,其含义是:A君配不上B君;而句中的way一词,也不是我们以前学过的“道路”或者“方式、方法”的意思,而应解释为“远远地”或是“过于”。所以,全句的正确理解应为:他说我压根儿就配不上那个女孩子。如果读者选择读物的时候能够找到有类似这样配以注释的版本,阅读起来就既不会因为生词过多而灰心,同时又能够逐渐培养定位词组的语感了。
3、将新鲜或新学的词组记录在笔记本上,并连同该词组出现的句子一起写下,以供随时重温。
有时候,仅写下词组对我们的记忆来说是一项很大的挑战,因为我们可能很快就会忘记其含义。即使当初在一旁写下了中文意思,时间一长就会忘记应如何使用它了。这时如果为该词组提供背景环境,不但能够加深我们对它的记忆,也可以为日后模仿成句提供现成例子。
对英语原文的准确理解是英译汉的第一步。形象说来,这一步就像是“踩点”,一定要踩得准、踩得到位,只有这样才能为下一步转换成中文打好基础。
如何使行文变得“地道”
英译汉的第二步是用地道的中文表达原文的含义。这对译者的中文功底是一个十足的考验。这里的“地道”指的是,译文不会让人感觉到有英语原文的痕迹,就好像它原来就是一篇中文作品一样。
很多时候,译者对原文的理解没有问题,但是要将这粗糙、原始、零碎的理解升华为通顺、精致、具整体性的另一种语言,并用符合该语言习惯用法的表达转述出来,往往就不是那么容易了。尤其当原文是以精确简约著称的英语,而目标语言是惯于华美繁复的汉语时,我们往往就得花费更多的工夫去打磨译文,才能弥合两种语言之间的沟壑。那么我们如何培养出这种“地道”的翻译呢?
再拿前文提到过的一个句子为例:HesaidthatIwaswayoutofthatgirl’sleague.句中way一词若单独解释,则可以理解为“过于”或“远远地”等含义,但是如果直接放置到句中,其译文则成为:他说我过于配不上那个女孩子;他说我远远配不上那个女孩子;与我们给出的译文“他说我压根儿就配不上那个女孩子”相比,“过于”和“远远”显然都不如“压根儿”来得地道,虽然从本质上讲,这三个词的含义都很相近。你一定想问:我怎么就想不到“压根儿”这个词呢?那是因为你没有成功进行角色的变换。
什么叫做角色的变换?
当我们做到上文所讲的第一步“准确理解英文原文的含义”后,我们的思维会在不经意间嵌入英文语言的模式。这时,只有成功脱离该模式,进入换位思考的状态,才有可能在最大程度上激活自身的汉语表达能力。面对这种情况,我们应该将原文的含义提取出来,暂存在大脑中,想想作为一个中国人,他会怎样来表达这层意思;或者回想自己有没有亲历过类似的情况,自己当时又是如何表达的呢?如此这般,较为地道的用语就能信手拈来了。
又如这么一个句子:Butthesameadvantagewouldapplytoallspecies,andyetwealonecomposesymphoniesandcrosswordpuzzles,carvestoneintostatues,maptimeandspace.原文理解起来并不困难,但若跳不出英语的思维模式、不考虑中文惯用表达、逐字翻译,其结果就是:但是同样的优势将会出现在所有的物种身上,然而惟独我们谱写出交响曲和字谜游戏,将石头刻成雕像,划分时间和空间。
这样的翻译不能说有错,但是中文的美感全无。翻译界前辈总结的“信达雅”是以信达为基础,以雅为目标的三步翻译标准,其中最难把握的也就是这第三步“雅”的境界。下面我们来具体分析一下这个句子的各个部分。
首先要注意的词是第一个分句中的would,这个词可不是随便用的,它除了在过去将来时中会出现以外,还会出现在虚拟语气里。在此我们可大致判断,第一个分句其实是一个省略虚拟句式,即省略的非真实条件句,而被省略的部分就是该非真实条件复合句中的条件部分,而我们看到的只是结果部分。所以有必要将条件部分还原为:如果自然界中所有的物种都拥有发现美的能力,那么它们都将在进化过程中称霸一方。
第二个小分句andyetwealonecomposesymphoniesandcrosswordpuzzles,carvestoneintostatues,maptimeandspace中,值得注意的地方可不少:
(1)整个句子的结构:andyetwealone如同一个统领的标志,后面的compose,carve,map分别是其下的三个并列动宾词组。如何翻译此类句子?
在这里我们可以采用类似数学中合并同类项的做法——将andyetwealone先提取出来总述,然后将后面的三个动宾词组作为分述,译文为:然而,惟独人类在演变中独占鳌头:我们谱写交响曲
(2)动词compose后面跟的两个宾语symphonies和crosswordpuzzles该如何处理?虽然原文里只用了一个动词,但是在中文里面却很难找到这样一个动词能够同时搭配交响曲和字谜游戏,所以在翻译过程中,应将一个compose拆分为两个中文动词,与两个宾语分别搭配,译文为:我们谱写交响曲,创造字谜游戏;
(3)那么carvestoneintostatues,maptimeandspace这两个动宾结构又该如何处理呢?在这里可以延续前面的主语“我们”:我们谱写交响曲,创造字谜游戏,刻石头成雕像,划分时间空间,但是,这样的译本就看似平淡,没有层次感。如果我们根据意群对该分句进行二度划分,就能把划分符放在carve之前,将后两个动宾词组合为一组,与前文分开。同时,采用主宾对换的方式使得句式结构富于变换,即不再使用“我们”作为动宾结构的主语,而是让原本处于宾语地位的stone和timeandspace翻身作主人,这一切变换措施只需要借助一个小小的地点状语即可实现:在我们的手中,顽石诞生为雕像,时空归依为坐标。全句翻译如下:如果自然界中所有的物种都拥有发现美的能力,那么它们都将在进化过程中称霸一方。然而,惟独人类在演变中独占鳌头:我们谱写交响曲,创造字谜游戏;在我们的手中,顽石诞生为雕像,时空归依为坐标。这样一来,整句中的小结构里又透出工整对仗之意,大结构上又十分富有层次感,也不失变化;读来全无英文的痕迹,而又忠于原文,这才是令人颇为满意的好译文。
综上所述,翻译两部曲中的第二步是“成品”的关键所在。译者在此既要有跳出原文束缚的能力,又不能一蹦三丈远——完全脱离原文内容实质、凭空创造;也就是说,译者还得有将译文“靠”回原文的本领。翻译之路如此漫漫,大家还需不断“上下而求索”,希望我的这篇文章能够在此给大家“抛砖引玉”。
英语翻译学习心得体会三:
经过一个学期的学习,我们即将结束《英汉翻译教程》的学习。通过学习,我又掌握了一门新的英语学习技能,也初步了解了英汉翻译的基本要求与要领。简而言之,就是获益匪浅。
英汉翻译是一门建立在综合能力基础之上的学科,囊括了全方位的知识以及中西文化的差异。不管是对个人能力以及日常积累都有较高的要求。前我一直有一种误区:认为只要掌握大量的词汇,翻译起来就会很容易,认为翻译只不过是把大量的词汇拼接连接在一起。可是当我真正接触到这门课程时惊觉自己原来的思维是有多么的狭隘。当翻译一句话时,我根本不知道该怎么组合。勉强组合在一块时不是错误百出,就是很Chinglish.首先,英汉翻译应遵循“忠实,通顺”的标准。所谓忠实,就是忠实于原文的内容。由于中西文化之间存在的巨大差异,一句英文在欧美人看起来顺理成章,而在我们中国人看起来就会极其别扭。我们就会在翻译过程中不自觉的用上自己的思维,因而改变了原文的意思破坏了原文的风格。通顺就是指原文语言必须通俗易懂,符合规范。译文必须通顺,避免死译,硬译,符合规范。把原文的内容适当的表达出来,既不能改变扭曲,也不能增加或删减。如“Heisseriouslyill”.就译为:“他病得很厉害”。有人为了追求汉语的“漂亮”译为“他苟延残喘”,这就得不偿失了。
其次,翻译分为三个阶段:理解,表达,和校核。准确理解原文所要表达的意思,注意上下文的关系在翻译过程中是至关重要的。在翻译时采取直译或者意译两种方式。有时在翻译过程中我们也可以直译和意译结合起来使用。主要取决与具体的情景。校核也是一个非常重要的过程,不可忽视。即在翻译时要经过反复的推敲,已到达最好效果的翻译。
翻译不是一朝一夕就能做到做好的事。我们在日常学习中必须注重积累有关英译汉方面的知识以及基本方法。了解基本英汉语言对比(词法和句法)。通过对比,掌握两种语言各自的特点,以及所对应的意思,在翻译的时候才能得心应手的运用。避免造成错用,误用,闹出笑话。需要注意的是随着语言的发展,很多英语单词已经不再紧紧局限于其原有的意思,更有了扩展。这就要求我们积极扩充自己的积累。同时,我还学习掌握了英译汉时常用的方法和技巧。如:增词法,重复法,省略法,以及词义的转义等等。还有关于各种不同句型的不同翻译方式。如定语从句,被动语态,状语从句等等,这些在书本上都有系统的介绍。我们在日常练习的时候也要避免为了做题而做题,要在过程中学会理解,应用这些方法。
我还体会到理解和翻译并不是一回事,几个人的理解相同,翻译成的文字风格可以是不同的。通过学习,我了解到可以直译的就直译,只要把词序调整一下,保证通顺,不致引起误解就好。如果不能直译,可凭借各种翻译技巧,在不偏离原文意思的前提下,对句子的结构作一些变动。方法也好,技巧也好,都是为忠实、通顺地再现原作这个目的服务的,其功效自不待言,但并非万应灵药。任何方法在应用中都有其限度,过犹不及。如果一味死搬教条,盲目遵照翻译的规则,过分依赖这些翻译的技巧,最终只会落得个邯郸学步的结果。优秀的翻译者会在在实践中经常数法并用,因人因文而异,并无一定之规,主要靠自己不断实践、不断总结经验和不断提高理论水平,才能最终达到得心应手、曲尽其妙的境界。
经过学习,我确实获得了不少的进步以及在本学期的翻译学习中,我们获得了翻译专业应具备的一项技能,也对下学期的汉英翻译学习有了初步的计划和想法,以后学起来的时候亦不会无从下手。我相信我在今后的翻译道路更加宽阔平坦,我会再今后的学习中,不断总结经验技巧,是这些宝贵经验成为翻译学习的宝贵财富,力争做一名合格的英语人。
我也知道只是经过这学期的学习,我还有很多缺失以及不足的对地方。像中西文化这方面我就做的不是很好,经常在翻译时会弄不清具体的背景知识而做出错误的译文。翻译的时候也会出现措辞不当的现象。我还需要继续的加深关于这方面的知识。翻译不像我想象中的那么简单,但是也不是高不可攀。最重要的是要保持一颗积极学习进取的心,无论何时何地不能失去对翻译的热情。只有这样,才能在日后的学习中遇到困难时有勇气克服它。翻译本就是一个需要不断探索,积累,应运的过程。我有信心在未来的学习中会越走越远,越做越好!!
