第三篇:百事老爸可乐儿读后感600字
看过朱森林的《百事老爸可乐儿》,真是笑破了肚皮。书中有趣的漫画、画龙点睛的文字相信不管是大人还是小孩都爱看。小小一本漫画书,充满了乐子。
故事的主人公是可乐儿宝宝,他是一个爱嬉戏打闹的小男孩,宝宝爸爸(百事老爸)也是一个幽默风趣的人物,他爱管教宝宝,可总是被宝宝回击。
当然,宝宝爸爸是非常爱宝宝的,可宝宝却不知好歹。宝宝正在写作业,宝宝爸爸端来一杯水,说:渴了吧?我给你倒杯水又端来一碗饭,说:饿了吧?我给你端碗饭热了吧?我给你扇扇风累了吧?我给你捶捶背可宝宝却说:好了,今天为什么对我这么殷勤?是不是犯了错误打算求我摆平?从这个故事中体现出宝宝爸爸对宝宝深深的爱,只是爱的方式不对。他给宝宝倒水、端饭、扇风、捶背,处处为宝宝着想,可宝宝却误会爸爸的爱,认为爸爸一定是犯了错误,想让宝宝帮他摆平。
其实,生活中我们不也经常碰到吗?我们作为父母常常自作主张地为儿女着想,而这些却不一定是儿女想要的,他(她)经常会有别样的想法。这就是所谓的代沟吧。而这种差异一经碰撞就会相当可乐了。
《百事老爸可乐儿》这本书中的父子,带给我们的笑声无处不在。书中有生活的美好与不足,也有生活的哲理。大笑之余值得我们思考。书的爸爸是一个不完美的爸爸,正是因为不完美,这种父子情才更真实。
现实生活中,亲子之间,就是应该建立起一种平等的关系,一种快乐的关系。让儿女在笑声中长大,对于父母来说,不也是不亦乐乎么?爸爸不仅要做儿子的领导,更多地要做儿子的朋友。母子,父女,母女关系莫不如是。
第四篇:文学翻译 佳译欣赏
佳译欣赏
严羽论诗,力主妙悟。他认为盛唐之诗“其妙处透彻玲珑,不可凑泊,如空中之音,相中之色,水中之月,镜中之象,言有尽而意无穷。”
严羽这几句话虽然说得虚无缥缈,恍惚迷离,其实说来说去,只合一个“化”字。所谓“妙悟”,更是臻于化境的意思。
水中之月,看似有之,捞之则无,妙就妙在捞不到手。艺术的“化”,当是不即不离,不粘不脱,求其神似而不求其形似。形似不过是皮相,神似才入化境。这好比一件玉器,分明是雕琢出来,却又不露一点斧凿之痕。翻译,尤其是文学翻译,也是如此,所以文学翻译的最高境界就是“化”,也就是严羽说的“妙悟”、“透彻玲珑”了。
下面试举几个臻于“化境”的译例,供大家欣赏、玩味。

The traveler in the south must often have remarked that peculiar air of refinement, that softness of voice and manner, which seems in many cases to be a particular gift to the quadroon and mulatto women.到南方去的人看见那些黑白混血的女郎,准定会注意到她们十之八九都赋有那种独特的优雅风度、那种柔和的声调和文静的举止。

On one of those sad and rather melancholy days in the latter part of autumn when the shadows of morning and evening almost mingle together and throw a gloom over the decline of the year, I passed several hours in rambling about Westminster Abbey.There was something congenial to the season in the mournful magnificence of the old pile;and as I passed its threshold, it seemed like stepping back into the regions of antiquity, and losing myself among the shades of former ages.(Washington Irving)
时方晚秋,气象肃穆,略带忧郁,早晨的阴影和黄昏的阴影几乎连在一起,不可分辨,岁月将暮,终日昏暗。我就在这么一天,到西敏寺去散步了几个钟头。古寺巍巍,森森然似有鬼气,和阴沉沉的季节正好调和,我跨进大门,觉得自己已置身远古,相忘于古人的鬼影之中了
第五篇:翻译技巧 反译法
第八节反译法
由于讲英语国家的历史、地理、社会文化背景和生活习性与我国不同,因此 这些国家人们的思维方式和生活习性亦与我国不同。这种差别体现在语言习惯 七,便产生了两种语言各自不同的表达形式。在表示否定意义时,这种差异显得 尤为突出。有的英语句子形式上是否定的而实质上是肯定的,有的形式上是肯定 的而实质上是否定的。在翻译某些英文句子时,应当特别注意两点:一是英语里 有些从正面表达的词语或句子,汉译时可以从反面来表达,即正说反译法;二是 英语里有些从反面表达的词语或句子,汉译时可从正面来表达,即反说正译法。例如:
(1)The kind of machine is far from being complicated.
这种机器一点也不复杂。
这个句子如果译成“这种机器离复杂甚远”就使人感到不知所云。
(2)He wrote three books in the first two years,a record never reached before.
他头两年写了3本书,打破了以往的记录。
原文从反面表达,译文从正面表达。如译成“这是他从前从未达到的记录” 则显得很别扭。
(3)I have read your articles,but,expect to meet an older woman.
我读过你的文章,但没料到你这样年轻。
本句如译成“我读过你文章,但我料想会见到一个年纪更大的女人”则不符 合汉语表达习惯。
从以上例中可以看出,有些句子从正面译不顺,不妨从反面译;反面译不 顺,则不妨从正面译,因为同一个概念,一个民族正着说,以为是合乎表达习惯 的,而另一个民族则认为反着说才顺口。因此,在恰当的场合灵活运用反译法不 失为确保译文语义明晰、文从字顺的有效手段。
一、正说反译法
英语中有些否定概念是通过含有否定意义或近似否定意义的词来表达的。一 些语言学家称这些词为“含蓄否定词”,另一些语言学家则称之为“暗指否定 词”。英语中的含蓄否定词或含蓄否定短语一般都要译成汉语的否定词组。
(一)名词

二、反说正译法
反说正译法指的是将英语中有些与not等否定词连用的词语或带有否定词缀 的词语译成汉语的肯定形式。这样做有时是为了将原文中某些否定形式所具有的 肯定含义清楚地表达出来;在另外一些时候也许是为了将译文组织得更加自然流 畅。当然,也常常可能两种目的兼而有之。(一)名词
(1)It was said that someone had sown discord among us.据说有人在我们中间挑拨离间。

valuable not to share.
人类已经开发出功率极大的计算机,这方面的知识极为宝贵,应为人类共享。
三、英语中的双重否定旬
英语中的双重否定句,除了有时可以译成汉语的双重否定句外,一般说来应 译成肯定句。不过,它是一种特殊的强调句式。以have to(不得不)为例,两个 “不”字去掉以后意思不变,但语气强度就差多了。例如:
(1)There is no evil without compensation.
恶有恶报。
(2)There is not any advantage without disadvantage.
有一利必有一弊。
(3)There is no grammatical rule than has no exception.
条条语法规则都有例外。(也可译为“世上没有不例外的语法规则”。)
(4)It never rains but pours.
不雨则已.雨必倾盆。
(5)The charging of a condenser from a battery is not unlike the filling of a tank
from all oil reservoir.
电池给电容器充电就像油罐给油箱加油一样。
(6)We can’t be too careful in doing this kind of experiment.
我们在做这类实验时应尽可能小心。(也可译为“我们在做这类试验时
无论怎样小心也不过分”。)(7)I 8nl not reluctant to accept your proposal.
我非常愿意接受你的建议。(也可译为“你的建议我并非不愿接受”。)当然,有的英语双重否定句译为汉语的双重否定句更为通顺。(1)There is no story without coincidence.
无巧不成书。
(2)The significance of this report and importance Can never be overemphasized.
这个报告的意义和重要性,不管怎样强调,也不算过分。
四、委婉式肯定
英语中的这种句子是一种迂回的表示肯定的方式,字面上看似否定,实际上 是委婉的肯定。例如:
(1)I couldn’t feel better·
我感觉好极了。
(2)He can’t see you quickly enough-
他很想尽快和你见面。
(3)I couldn’t agree with you more-
我太赞成你的看法了。
f41 He didn’t half like the girl-
他非常喜欢那姑娘。
五、否定的陷阱
英语中的一些否定结构如果按字面意义理解很容易出错,这些结构我们称之 为“否定的陷阱”。下面就是一些有代表性的结构。(一)cannot„too(怎么„„也不)(1)You cannot be too careful in proofreading.校对时,越仔细越好。
(2)We shall never be able to stress too much for his kindness.不管我们怎么感谢他,都不足以报恩于万一。
(3)The importance of this conference cannot be overestimated 这次大会的重要性无论怎么强调也不过分。(二)not„because(并非因为„„而)(1)Don’t scamp your work because you are pressed for time.
不要因为时间紧而敷衍搪塞。
(2)This project is not placed last because it is difficult to be put into practice
此方案并非因为它不好实施而被放在最后。
(3)The engine didn’t stop because the fuel was finished.
发动机并不是因为燃料耗尽而停止运转的。(三)for all„(尽管„„,不,说不定)(1)You may leave at once for all I care.
你尽可立即离去,我才不管呢。
(2)For all we knew,the files we were supposed to fetch were already on
their way.
说不定该由我们去取的文件已在途中。
