第一篇：英译汉学习心得体会

英译汉学习心得体会

通过一学期的英语翻译学习，使我们又掌握了一项英语专业技能，更好的掌握了英译汉的翻译要领。

本学期使我印象最深刻的翻译要领就是翻译的三大准则：“信”“达”“雅”，我会将我的理解描述出来。所谓“信”，就是指在翻译过程中要保持原文原意，不可自己自由发挥，而委屈的英语原文的本意。就是忠实于原作的思想，就是把原文所表达的意思准确地用另一种语言重新表达出来。所谓“达”是指在完成英译汉后，中文的译文要做到通达顺畅，不可使译文显得牵强。所谓“雅”是指译文需要有一定的文采，语言优美，富有意境，但切记不可因为尽力做到“雅”而曲解文章本意，使读者误解原文。

要真正掌握英译汉的技巧并非易事。因为英译汉时会遇到各种各样的困难；首先是英文理解难，这是学习、使用英文的人的共同感觉，由于两国历史、文化、风俗习惯的不同，所以一句英文在英美人看来顺理成章，而在中国人看来却是颠颠倒倒、断断续续，极为别扭。二是中文表达难，英译汉有时为了要找到一个合适的对等词汇，往往被弄得头昏眼花，好象在脑子里摸一个急于要开箱子的钥匙，却没有。另外，英译汉时对掌握各种文化知识的要求很高，因为我们所翻译的文章，其内容可能涉及到极为广博的知识领域，而这些知识领域多半是我们不大熟悉的外国的事情，如果不具备相应的文化知识难免不出现一些翻译中的差错或笑话。正是因为英译汉时会遇到这么多的困难，所以，我们必须通过翻译实践，对英汉两种不同语言的特点加以对比、概况和总结，以找出一般的表达规律来，避免出现一些不该出现的翻译错误，而这些表达的规律就是我们所说的翻译技巧。

无论“英译汉”或“汉译英”，我们在翻译时都要遵循一定的标准。在着手翻译各个具体词语的时候，我们不是在做一般性的解释，而是要选择精确的，富有表现力的字眼，将之恰如其分地嵌入译文中。这样才能把原文中所蕴涵的意义准确地完整地表达出来。经常有意识地训练选词用字是做好翻译工作的必经之路。还有一点就是不要过分迷信词典，尽信书则不如无书！很多词汇的精确含义会随着具体的语境发生细微的变化，这些内容往往不是词典所能包容的。这需要我们发挥自己的想象力，在透彻理解原文的基础上，善于运用自己的创造力，才能译出精美的、符合原文语体风格的译文。请看下面一个句子的英语译为汉语的不同译文：

Studies serve for delight, for ornament, and for ability.译文：

1、读书能给人乐趣，文雅和能力。

2、读书可以怡情养性，可以摭拾文采，可以增长才干。

3、读书可以怡情，足以傅采，足以长才。

译文1既忠于原文，读起来也顺口。可算是很不错了！但当我们读译文2时，相比之下，译文1逊色了。因为译文2能给人一种全新的、富有表现力的感受，如同夏天吃了冰淇淋，清凉恬美爽到心底！这样翻译不仅符合了“信”“达”的标准，还具有“传神”的效果。这是由于译者在翻译过程中溶入了自己的真情实感，是用心血来装修了。但这样“装修”新局面非是“画蛇添足”，而是翻译技巧中常用的手法。这才是真正地体现了严复的“信达雅”三字翻译标准。英语原文是英国著名散文家培根的名言，全文显古朴风格。也只有译文3才算忠实地再现出这种“古雅”的风味！

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，使我们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。

第四篇：英译汉翻译技巧

英译汉翻译技巧

王 瑛

英译汉部分要求翻译单句, 而不是段落或篇章。考生首先要读懂句子,了解句子的语法结构、使用的固定词组、习惯用法及词与词之间的语义关系, 然后, 再正确分析原文的语言现象和逻辑关系,进行透彻的理解, 最后, 力图用简洁明了的汉语表达出原文的意思。因此, 考生有必要掌握一些基本的翻译技巧。

一、翻译技巧一

一般的英译汉考题不会只是简单句。我们在做题时, 首先要从语法入手, 找寻和确定句子大的框架结构, 通过分析把句中的从句和插入部分先排除掉, 明确句子结构有助于我们正确理解整句话的意思。

(一)重点分析句子结构

其实, 就英语的句子结构而言, 是有规律可循的。除去省略句、倒装句、感叹句和

一些特殊句子外, 英语句子的结构可归纳为三类: 1.to be句型: 主语 + be + 表语

Miss Jones is a manager.琼斯小姐是位经理。

2.to do句型: 主语 + do +(宾语)+(状语)He teaches English in this school.他在这所学校教英语。

3.there be句型: There be + 主语 + 状语

There are beautiful wildflowers in the hills.山中有美丽的野花。

(二)确定语法现象和惯用结构

英译汉考题中常见的重点语法有: 时态、语态、主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句、同位语从句、定语从句、状语从句、动词不定式、动名词、分词、虚拟语气、倒装句、强调句等。考生要非常熟悉这些语法现象, 才不至于对句子产生误解。例如:

 Anyone who is interested in it can go with us.对这事感兴趣的人可以跟我们去。(who引导定语从句修饰主语anyone) The problem discussed at yesterday’s meeting is very important.昨天会上讨论过的那个问题非常重要。(过去分词短语作后置定语修饰主语the problem) You could have done better if you had been more careful.要是细心一点的话，你就会做得更好。(if 引导虚拟语气的条件状语从句) Hardly had I said that when she entered the room.我刚说完，她就进来了。(倒装句, 否定词hardly位于句首, 助动词had 放在主语I之前) It was not until last night that I noticed this matter.直到昨晚我才注意到这件事。(强调句: It was not until+强调成分+that句子其余成分) The books were either works on travel or detective novels.这些书要么是关于旅行的, 要么就是侦探小说。(连接词either„ or„连接两个表语)(三)熟悉固定搭配词组和习惯用法

英译汉考题中还常常会设计一个关键的考点 – 固定搭配的词组和习惯表达法, 旨在考查考生对词汇的掌握和运用情况。考生在理解这些习惯用语时会感到很困难, 这是因为单从组成某个习惯用语的词的字面意思上来理解其含义, 往往会出偏差, 必将影响到对整个句子的理解。例如:

 They came up with a cure for the disease at last.他们最终发现了治疗这种疾病的方法(短语动词,意为“提出;发现”)

 The news got around by word of mouth.这一消息通过人们的口传播开来。(介词短语,意为“口头流传”)

 It’ll be cheaper in the long run to use real leather.从长远的观点来看, 用真皮更便宜。(介词短语,意为“从长远的观点来看”)

 I’ll tell them the truth, regardless of what they want to hear.不管他们愿不愿意听, 我要告诉他们真相。(形容词短语,意为 “不管...”)

 Punishment had very little effect on him.惩罚对他没有什么效果。(名词短语,意为“对„起作用”)

(四)熟练掌握过渡连接词

过渡连接词是使上下文的连接自然、紧凑的有效方法，使文章整体具有结构上的粘着性和意义上的连贯性。因此,熟练掌握过渡连接词能充分把握住原文的意图和出题思路。过渡连接词按语义划分为以下最常见的几种类型

表示增补: and , also , besides , what’s more , in addition , furthermore „

表示因果: for this reason, because of, since, as a result, thus, therefore, so, hence „

表示转折: however, still, but, otherwise, despite, nevertheless, though, in fact „

表示列举: firstly, secondly, for one thing„for another, to begin with, then, last „

表示解释: for example, for instance, that is, namely „ 表示总结: in short, to sum up, in conclusion, briefly, on the whole „

例如:

 The railroad connects two cities, namely, New York and Chicago.这铁路联接两个城市, 即纽约和芝加哥。(表示解释) She was very tired, nevertheless, she kept on working.她虽然很疲倦, 然而她却继续工作。(表示转折) He said that he could not find it and, furthermore, that nobody would ever find it.他说他找不到它, 而且也没有人会找到它。(表示增补) He was ill, and therefore could not come.(表示结果)他病了, 所以未能来。

二、翻译技巧二

每一种语言，在词意的运用，语句的铺排、句子的结构方面，都有其独特的方式，而每一词每一字所承载的文化信息亦各不相同。因此, 英译汉的表达方式总体上可以分成两大类:

（一）直译法：

一般来说, 在语言条件许可的情况下, 应该尽可能地用直译, 使译文既能保持原文的内容, 又能保持原文的形式和风格。例如:

o All roads lead to Roma.条条大路通罗马。

o The soldier was as brave as a lion.那个士兵像狮子一样勇敢。

o My brother is like a duck to water in the new job.我哥哥在新的工作岗位上如鱼得水。

o It is he who has consistently offered fuel in snowy weather but never added flowers to embroidery.他这个人一向对人是雪中送炭，从来不是锦上添花。

（二）意译法: 为使译文得到和原文基本相同的文化信息，当翻译中遇到两种文化有差异，用直译无法使译文传达准确的信息时，就要在母语中寻找与其对应的表达方式，利用各种必要的转换手段进行意译。例如:  He is down and out as if/though he lived a dog’s life.他穷困, 潦倒，好像过着牛马一样的生活。（转译法-a dog’s life转换词义）

 He behaved politely while answering the interviewer’s questions.他在回答采访者问题时, 很有礼貌。(省略法–behaved 一词不译出) He is a stranger to the company’s business.他对于该公司的经营业务是陌生的。(转换法–stranger 名词转换成形容词) All preparation must be done before you do experiments.在做试验之前, 一切准备工作都必须做好。(增加法-preparation增加“工作”)

 Each country has its own customs.各国有各国的风俗.(重复法-Each country重复使用“各国”)
