第二篇：不同文体翻译

复习版笔记(3)第三部分：不同文体翻译 散文翻译

一、散文的特点

散文是文学中常见的体裁,它选材广泛,结构灵活,表现手法多样,如叙事!抒情!议论等,主要特点是：体物写志,行散神聚。―形散―是指散文运笔如风,不拘形式,清淡自然;―神聚‖指意旨明确,紧凑集中,既散得开,又收得拢;既有豪放的特色,又有清幽的特征。真正的散文是充满诗意的,就像苹果里饱含着果汁一样(巴乌斯托夫斯基语)。优美的散文艺术性在于新颖的构思,充沛的感情,丰富的想像,简洁精粹的语言和耐人寻味的意境“散文也常常被比作小而境界深邃的园林。作者运笔看似信手拈来,实则字斟句酌,环环相扣,使读者浮想联翩。文论家刘勰说道: ―情动而言行,理发而文见‖,由此可见散文贵在以巧取胜,以巧妙的语言、巧的意境来打动读者,给读者以最大审美愉悦。既然散文有丰富的艺术魅力,那么它的审美效果又如何在译文中传达呢?俄国著名翻译家吉加切奇拉泽在《文艺翻译与文学交流》一书中谈到文艺翻译的总的指导原则时认为:―理想的文艺翻译首先是在艺术上,而不是在语言上和原文一致。即使达不到这一目标,也应全力以求,离目标越近越好‖。在加氏看来,作家的思想表现在文字形象以及一定的语调和节奏结构上，每个句子由若干语调、意群或若干句素组成,它们的意义合构成句子。因此,他认为文艺翻译的过程也应当根据上面的模式进行。不过译者不能机械地重复创作过程的所有阶段，译者应努力把通过文字形象表达的原作的思想用另一种语言再现出来,当然同时要有兼顾文学文本所特有的语调、节奏和句构特点，作为文学翻译形式之一的散文翻译,自然也要求译者在传译过程中,不仅要传达出原文的语流!节奏和句子结构等语义信息,更应着重传达原文的艺术神韵,以使目标读者在读译文时可以获得和原文读者读原文时同样的语义和美学的双重享受。

二、散文英译

以张培基的《英译中国现代散文选》为例：(一)句子短小精悍,结构简单

从理论上说,英语语言与汉语语言相比,英语句子―常常是环扣相嵌,盘根错节,句中有句‖,也就是所谓的―楼房建筑法‖(architecture style)。而汉语以散句、松句、紧缩句、省略句、流水句等短句居多[4 ](P48the26)

译文句子多为简单句和并列句,译文干净、利落,通俗易懂,给人一种清爽自然之美,而没有盘根错节之迷惑。(二)用词简单、通俗

张培基先生在翻译散文时, 很少使用生僻词(bigwords),主要使用普通的形容词、副词和动词等,以达到言简意赅。例如:

1.他的脑子也不小,但他的记性却不很精明,他的思想也不很细密。———《差不多先生传》His brain is none too small ,but he is weak in memory and sloppy in thinking.2.他用两手攀着上面,两脚再向上缩;他肥胖的身子向左微倾。??过铁道时,他先将橘子散放在地上,自己慢慢爬下,再抱起橘子走。———《背影》His hands held onto the upper part of the platform ,his legs huddled up and his corpulent body tipped slightly towards the left , ??In crossing the railway track,he first put the tangerines on the ground ,climbed down slowly and then picked them up again.3.燕子去了,有再来的时候;杨柳枯了,有再青的时候;桃花谢了,有再开的时候。但是,聪明的,你告诉我,我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢? ———《匆匆》If swallows go away ,they will come back again.If willows wither,they will turn green again.If peach blossoms fade,they will flower again.But ,tell me ,you the wise ,why should our days go by never to return ?

从以上的摘录我们可以看出,张先生翻译的风格用词方面朴实无华,对保存原文风格起到至关重要的作用。(三)修辞上力求通俗易懂

一般说来,散文中修辞格用得相当少。但张培基先生在翻译中对于这一小部分语言要素也不忽略,认真处理,使译文没有生硬的感觉。例如:

1.他也说我一天不写文章第二天就没有饭吃。———《朋友》(借代)

He also says that I would have nothing to live on once I should lay down my pen.意译法处理该句符合英语表达习惯,如直译为―have no rice to eat‖,一定会引起歧义,让人费解。

2.弓儿似的新月,挂在树梢。———《笑》(明喻)

The crescent new moon looked as if hanging on the tips of the trees.译文仍然用比喻的修辞手法翻译原文的比喻,但却转移了喻体, ―弓儿似的‖如果直译成bowdecision‖等.但作为外事翻译主体,必须清楚其翻译的目的和意图,外事翻译强调翻译的程式化和庄严化,所以在翻译时可以采用的策略受到严格限制.《中英联合声明》不是一个简单的条约或者协议,因此在翻译的时候为了明确表达《中英联合声明》的内在意义及庄重性,选择的词汇是―Joint Declaration‖.同样的道理,在《联合声明》中,一个重要的内容就是表明中国政府对香港―恢复行使主权‖.但是在―恢复行使主权‖的翻译上,中英双方有很大分歧.中方最初先提议用―recover sovereignty‖,英方提议用―a transfer of sovereignty‖。很明显,由于翻译主体的不同,彼此表达的意义完全不同.中方的翻译是―收回主权‖,而英方的翻译是―主权移交‖,而且由于不定冠词―a‖有贬低―移交‖的意义,因此英方的翻译是我方不能接受的.最后,经过我国法律专家的研究后,认为使用―resume the exercise of sovereignty‖较为恰当,这一译文表明:我们国家以前对香港的主权,并不是―丧失‖,而是由于种种原因―未能行使‖,现在则是重新―恢复行使主权‖。可见,定稿后的译文就正确的反映了翻译主体的意图 2)译文的可接受性

译文的可接受性指的是译文是否符合目的语的文化和体裁惯例,是否通俗易懂.可接受性的高低直接影响翻译的效果.外事翻译与文学翻译不同的是,它并不强调语言的优美而侧重于语言的可接受性及理解性.作为传递信息的主要载体,翻译中应侧重于忠实和连贯:即要遵守外事翻译中的准确性及精确性、一致性及同一性、专业性和规范性原则.例如1999 年10 月我国外交部发言人曾就巴基斯坦局势发表看法:―我们十分关注巴基斯坦的局势发展,正在进一步了解情况.‖我国翻译人员把这句话译成―We are very much concerned about the developments in Pakistan and making further investigation into it‖.这样的翻译就不符合巴基斯坦的文化惯例.因此,巴基斯坦驻华大使在新闻发布会后,立即要求中国政府做出澄清.因为―concerned‖一词含有否定意思,即有不好的事情发生时,某人对此表示―关注‖.。巴基斯坦大使认为,中国和巴基斯坦是―全天候朋友‖,中国政府不应该用与西方国家相同的词来表达态度.因此,将原文译成―We have been watching the developments in Pakistan very closely and are waiting for further information‖,则既能表明中国政府在巴基斯坦问题上的一贯立场,又能够避免上述矛盾的产生.3)文化的特殊性

翻译目的论认为翻译不仅是语言的翻译,而且也是文化的翻译,翻译涉及两种文化的比较.文化的特殊性是指在进行两种文化对比时,存在于一种文化而不存在于另一种文化的现象.外事翻译首先就是一种跨语言、跨文化的翻译.我们不仅要掌握语言的表面形式,还要熟悉语言深层的文化内涵.如果我们不尊重和不了解外国受众的思维习惯,超越语言和文化的差异,熟练地运用贴近其信息需求和思维习惯的英语语言,我们的传播效果就会受到很大影响.例如,央视国际网站有关中国新闻的一则报道: ―Chinese leaders have joined noted intellectuals at a party to celebrate the Lantern Festival.The event took place at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing.‖

分析: 对中国受众来说, 没有必要对―Lantern Festival‖加以说明,因为都知道这是元宵节,农历正月十五,是家人团聚的时刻.但这一点需要向外国受众说明,不然他们会感到困惑:为什么中国领导人要与著名知识分子一起欢度这个节日呢? 当然,在新闻里,不能提供太具体的背景知识,要恰到好处,呈现出最重要的信息.建议:―Chinese leaders have joined noted intellectuals at a party to celebrate the Lantern Festival ,an important day for a family reunion ,which marks the end of the Spring Festival celebration.3 外事翻译中的主要失误 1)语言性翻译失误

这种失误主要包括语句型和语意型两种.前者如语法误解、单词误看、短语误识等等;后者如过度意译、断章取译、逻辑混乱等等.例如,1999 年3 月朱总理在回答《时代》周刊记者时说:―我不认为我对美国的访问将要进入‗地雷阵‘,但是确实会遇到很多敌意和不友好的气氛‖.译文: I don‘t think my visit to the United States will bring me into a minefield ,but I do expect to encounter some hostile or some unfriendly at mosphere there.该译文用了―bring into‖和―I do expect to encounter‖,似乎访问美国就是进人地雷阵并确实期待敌意.若改为involve entering 和may really meet 则更贴切.改译: I don‘t think my trip to the United States involves entering a minefield ,but I may really meet with much hostility or unfriendliness there.2)文化性翻译失误

与语言性失误相比,文化性翻译失误是一种宏观与具体层次上均存在的―功能性翻译失误‖.目的论所说的文化性翻译失误指译文中与译语文化规范和惯例相冲突之处,在外事翻译中主要体现在术语的随译.例如:计划经济时代,我国提到的―外向型经济‖就是指以出口为主的经济,因此译文可以是―exportmarket-oriented economy‖.又如,对于―五讲四美三热爱‖的译文:―the movement of five stresses ,four points of beauty , and three aspects of love ,‖这就是一个存在失误的译文,很多外国人误解为―五个重点,四个美女,三个情人‖.这就是一种文化性的失误,直译导致了内容的歪曲,信息的损失,理解上的困难.因此,可以采取补加译注或解释性的翻译,使原语内容准确传递给读者.改译为:―stress on decorum ,manners ,hygiene ,discipline and morals;beauty of the mind ,language ,behavior , and the environment;love of the motherland ,socialism and the Communist Party.‖对于这种中西文化差异以及汉语表达的浓厚中国特色带来的障碍,就要求译者具备娴熟的双语基本功和广博的文化知识,能根据上下文准确理解原文习俗语的喻义并加以变通。

复习版笔记(2)第二部分常用翻译技巧

英汉两种语言在句法、词汇、修辞等方面均存在着很大的差异，因此在进行英汉互译时必然会遇到很多困难，需要有一定的翻译技巧作指导。常用的翻译技巧有增译法、省译法、转换法、拆句法、合并法、正译法、反译法、倒置法、包孕法、插入法、重组法和综合法等。

1增译法：指根据英汉两种语言不同的思维方式、语言习惯和表达方式，在翻译时增添一些词、短句或句子，以便更准确地表达出原文所包含的意义。这种方式多半用在汉译英里。汉语无主句较多，而英语句子一般都要有主语，所以在翻译汉语无主句的时候，除了少数可用英语无主句、被动语态或”There be…“结构来翻译以外，一般都要根据语境补出主语，使句子完整。英汉两种语言在名词、代词、连词、介词和冠词的使用方法上也存在很大差别。英语中代词使用频率较高，凡说到人的器官和归某人所有的或与某人有关的事物时，必须在前面加上物主代词。因此，在汉译英时需要增补物主代词，而在英译汉时又需要根据情况适当地删减。英语词与词、词组与词组以及句子与句子的逻辑关系一般用连词来表示，而汉语则往往通过上下文和语序来表示这种关系。因此，在汉译英时常常需要增补连词。英语句子离不开介词和冠词。另外，在汉译英时还要注意增补一些原文中暗含而没有明言的词语和一些概括性、注释性的词语，以确保译文意思的完整。总之，通过增译，一是保证译文语法结构的完整，二是保证译文意思的明确。如：（1）What about calling him right away? 马上给他打个电话，你觉得如何？（增译主语和谓语）

（2）If only I could see the realization of the four modernizations.要是我能看到四个现代化实现该有多好啊！（增译主句）(3)Indeed, the reverse is true 实际情况恰好相反。（增译名词）

(4)就是法西斯国家本国的人民也被剥夺了人权。

Even the people in the fascist countries were stripped of their human rights.（增译物主代词）

（5）只许州官放火，不许百姓点灯。

While the magistrates were free to burn down house, the common people were forbidden to light lamps.（增译连词）

（6）这是我们两国人民的又一个共同点。

This is yet another common point between the people of our two countries.（增译介词）（7）在人权领域，中国反对以大欺小、以强凌弱。

In the field of human rights, China opposes the practice of the big oppressing the small and the

strong bullying the weak.（增译暗含词语）（8）三个臭皮匠，合成一个诸葛亮。

Three cobblers with their wits combined equal Zhuge Liang the mastermind.（增译注释性词语）

2.省译法：这是与增译法相对应的一种翻译方法，即删去不符合目标语思维习惯、语言习惯和表达方式的词，以避免译文累赘。增译法的例句反之即可。又如：（1）You will be staying in this hotel during your visit in Beijing.你在北京访问期间就住在这家饭店里。（省译物主代词）(2)I hope you will enjoy your stay here.希望您在这儿过得愉快。（省译物主代词）（3）中国政府历来重视环境保护工作。

The Chinese government has always attached great importance to environmental protection.(省译名词)

3转换法：指翻译过程中为了使译文符合目标语的表述方式、方法和习惯而对原句中的词类、句型和语态等进行转换。具体的说，就是在词性方面，把名词转换为代词、形容词、动词；把动词转换成名词、形容词、副词、介词；把形容词转换成副词和短语。在句子成分方面，把主语变成状语、定语、宾语、表语；把谓语变成主语、定语、表语；把定语变成状语、主语；把宾语变成主语。在句型方面，把并列句变成复合句，把复合句变成并列句，把状语从句变成定语从句。在语态方面，可以把主动语态变为被动语态。如：(1)我们学院受教委和市政府的双重领导。

Our institute is co-administrated by the States Education Commission and the municipal government.(名词转动词)（2）Too much exposure to TV programs will do great harm to the eyesight of children.孩子们看电视过多会大大地损坏视力。(名词转动词)（3）由于我们实行了改革开放政策，我国的综合国力有了明显的增强。Thanks to the introduction of our reform and opening policy, our comprehensive national strength has greatly improved.(动词转名词)(4)I'm all for you opinion.我完全赞成你的意见。（介词转动词）

（5）The reform and opening policy is supported by the whole Chinese people.改革开放政策受到了全中国人民的拥护。（动词转名词）

（6）In his article the author is critical of man's negligence toward his environment.作者在文章中，对人类疏忽自身环境作了批评。（形容词转名词）

（7）In some of the European countries, the people are given the biggest social benefits such as medical insurance.在有些欧洲国家里，人民享受最广泛的社会福利，如医疗保险等。（被动语态转主动语态）

（8）时间不早了，我们回去吧！

We don't have much time left.Let's go back.(句型转换)（9）学生们都应该德、智、体全面发展。

All the students should develop morally, intellectually and physically.(名词转副词)

4.拆句法和合并法：这是两种相对应的翻译方法。拆句法是把一个长而复杂的句子拆译成若干个较短、较简单的句子，通常用于英译汉；合并法是把若干个短句合并成一个长句，一般用于汉译英。汉语强调意合，结构较松散，因此简单句较多；英语强调形合，结构较严密，因此长句较多。所以汉译英时要根据需要注意利用连词、分词、介词、不定式、定语从句、独立结构等把汉语短句连成长句；而英译汉时又常常要在原句的关系代词、关系副词、主谓连接处、并列或转折连接处、后续成分与主体的连接处，以及意群结束处将长句切断，译成汉语分句。这样就可以基本保留英语语序，顺译全句，顺应现代汉语长短句相替、单复句相间的句法修辞原则。如：

(1)Increased cooperation with China is in the interests of the United States.同中国加强合作，符合美国的利益。（在主谓连接处拆译）

（2）I wish to thank you for the incomparable hospitality for which the Chinese people are justly famous throughout the world.我要感谢你们无与伦比的盛情款待。中国人民正是以这种热情好客而闻明世界的。（在定语从句前拆译）

（3）This is particularly true of the countries of the commonwealth, who see Britain's membership of the Community a guarantee that the policies of the community will take their interests into account 英联邦各国尤其如此，它们认为英国加入欧共体，将能保证欧共体的政策照顾到它们的利益。（在定语从句前拆译）

（4）中国是个大国，百分之八十的人口从事农业，但耕地只占土地面积的十分之一，其余为山脉、森林、城镇和其他用地。

China is a large country with four-fifths of the population engaged inagriculture, but only one tenth of the land is farmland, the rest being mountains, forests and places for urban and other uses.（合译）

5.正译法和反译法：这两种方法通常用于汉译英，偶尔也用于英译汉。所谓正译，是指把句子按照与汉语相同的语序或表达方式译成英语。所谓反译则是指把句子按照与汉语相反的语序或表达方式译成英语。正译与反译常常具有同义的效果，但反译往往更符合英语的思维方式和表达习惯。因此比较地道。如：（1）在美国，人人都能买到枪。

In the United States, everyone can buy a gun.(正译)

In the United States, guns are available to everyone.(反译)（2）你可以从因特网上获得这一信息。

You can obtain this information on the Internet.（正译）

This information is accessible/available on the Internet.（反译）（3）他突然想到了一个新主意。

Suddenly he had a new idea.(正译)

He suddenly thought out a new idea.(正译)

A new idea suddenly occurred to/struck him.（反译）（4）他仍然没有弄懂我的意思。

He still could not understand me.(正译)

Still he failed to understand me.(反译)（5）无论如何，她算不上一位思维敏捷的学生。

She can hardly be rated as a bright student.(正译)

She is anything but a bright student.(反译)（6）Please withhold the document for the time being.请暂时扣下这份文件。（正译）请暂时不要发这份文件。（反译）

6.倒置法：在汉语中，定语修饰语和状语修饰语往往位于被修饰语之前；在英语中，许多修饰语常常位于被修饰语之后，因此翻译时往往要把原文的语序颠倒过来。倒置法通常用于英译汉, 即对英语长句按照汉语的习惯表达法进行前后调换，按意群或进行全部倒置，原则是使汉语译句安排符合现代汉语论理叙事的一般逻辑顺序。有时倒置法也用于汉译英。如：

（1）At this moment, through the wonder of telecommunications, more people are seeing and hearing what we say than on any other occasions in the whole history of the world.此时此刻，通过现代通信手段的奇迹，看到和听到我们讲话的人比整个世界历史上任何其他这样的场合都要多。（部分倒置）

（2）I believe strongly that it is in the interest of my countrymen that Britain should remain an active and energetic member of the European Community.我坚信，英国依然应该是欧共体中的一个积极的和充满活力的成员，这是符合我国人民利益的。（部分倒置）

（3）改革开放以来，中国发生了巨大的变化。

Great changes have taken place in China since the introduction of the reform and opening policy.(全部倒置)

7.包孕法：这种方法多用于英译汉。所谓包孕是指在把英语长句译成汉语时，把英语后置成分按照汉语的正常语序放在中心词之前，使修饰成分在汉语句中形成前置包孕。但修饰成分不宜过长，否则会形成拖沓或造成汉语句子成分在连接上的纠葛。如：

(1)You are the representative of a country and of a continent to which China feels particularly close.您是一位来自于使中国倍感亲切的国家和大洲的代表。

(2)What brings us together is that we have common interests which transcend those differences.使我们走到一起的，是我们有超越这些分歧的共同利益。.插入法：指把难以处理的句子成分用破折号、括号或前后逗号插入译句中。这种方法主要用于笔译中。偶尔也用于口译中，即用同位语、插入语或定语从句来处理一些解释性成分。如：

如果说宣布收回香港就会像夫人说的”带来灾难性的影响“，那我们要勇敢地面对这个灾难，做出决策。

If the announcement of the recovery of Hong Kong would bring about, as Madam put it, ”disastrous effects," we will face that disaster squarely and make a new policy decision.9.重组法：指在进行英译汉时，为了使译文流畅和更符合汉语叙事论理的习惯，在捋清英语长句的结构、弄懂英语原意的基础上，彻底摆脱原文语序和句子形式，对句子进行重新组合。如：

Decision must be made very rapidly;physical endurance is tested as much as perception, because an enormous amount of time must be spent making certain that the key figures act on the basis of the same information and purpose.必须把大量时间花在确保关键人物均根据同一情报和目的行事，而这一切对身体的耐力和思维能力都是一大考验。因此，一旦考虑成熟，决策者就应迅速做出决策。

10．综合法：是指单用某种翻译技巧无法译出时，着眼篇章，以逻辑分析为基础，同时使用转换法、倒置法、增译法、省译法、拆句法等多种翻译技巧的方法。如： How can the European Union contribute to the development of a European film and television program industry which is competitive in the world market, forward-looking and capable of radiating the influence of European culture and of creating jobs in Europe? 欧洲联盟应该怎样做才能对欧洲的电影电视工业有所贡献，使它在国际市场上具有竞争能力，使它有能力发挥欧洲文化的影响，并且能够在欧洲创造更多的就业机会呢？

第四篇：英译汉-文体翻译(7)演讲

第六单元文体翻译

第五节演讲稿

一、讲演稿

演讲稿也叫演说辞，它是在较为隆重的仪式上和某些公众场所发表的讲话文稿。演讲稿是进行演讲的依据，是对演讲内容和形式的规范和提示，它体现着演讲的目的和手段，演讲的内容和形式。

演讲稿是人们在工作和社会生活中经常使用的一种文体，它可以用来交流思想、感情，表达 主张、见解；也可以用来介绍自己的学习、工作情况和经验等等；

演讲稿具有宣传、鼓动、教育和欣赏等作用，它可以把演讲者的观点、主张与思想感情传达给听众以及读者，使 他们信服并在思想感情上产生共鸣。

演讲稿类属于讲话稿但不同于一般讲话稿

演讲稿更加注重选材立意，在选材上多属主动型，切实根据听众的愿望和要求，弄清他们关心和迫切要解决的问题，有的放矢，力求引起最大共鸣。

在表达手段上有较多的议论、抒情，将生活中获得的各种体验，由真善美与假丑恶激发起的各种情感，真实地倾泻到演讲稿中，动之以情、晓之以理，具有较强的感召力。

在语言的运用上，除了注意口语表达的特点外，如多用短句，少用长句，语言节奏感强，还应适当运用幽默、双关、反语等修辞手法，以达到在与现场听众的交流中，牢牢吸引听众的注意力，为顺利实现演讲目的作好准备。

演讲稿的特点

针对性。演讲是一种社会活动，是用于公众场合的宣传形式。它为了以思想、感情、事例和理论来晓喻听众，打动听众，“征服”群众，必须要有现实的针对性。

可讲性。演讲的本质在于“讲”，而不在于“演”，它以“讲”为主、以“演”为辅。由于演讲要诉诸口头，演讲稿必须以易说能讲为前提。如果说，有些文章和作品主要通过阅读欣赏，领略其中意义和情味，那么，演讲稿的要求则是“上口入耳”。一篇好的演讲稿对演讲者来说要可讲；对听讲者来说应好听。

鼓动性。演讲是一门艺术。好的演讲自有一种激发听众情绪、赢得好感的鼓动性。要做到这一点，既要依靠演讲稿思想内容的丰富、深刻，见解精辟，有独到之处，发人深思，又要语言表达形象、生动，富有感染力。如果演讲稿语言平淡无味，毫无新意，即使在现场“演”得再卖力，效果也不会好，甚至相反。

演讲稿翻译的要求

就内容而言，要主题鲜明，表达完整；

就结构而言，要思维清晰，逻辑性强；

就风格而言，要保持风格，特点突出；

就语言而言，要有感染力，形象生动。

一篇好的演讲稿，在语言上应具有用词精确，言简意赅，深入浅出，通俗易懂，扣人心弦等特点。

1、词汇： 用词精确，形式简洁，文体贴切

例：告别词

The Chinese people are modest and prudent, hardworking and brave, clever and resourceful.I’ve recorded, what with pen and what with camera, the most exciting scenes I witnessed on the visit.I shall make them known to my people when I get home.译文：中国人民谦虚谨慎，勤劳勇敢，多才多艺。我用文字和照片记录了这次访问中我目睹的最动人的景象。我回国后将让我国人民了解这一切。

2、句式： 语言通顺，结构严谨，表达流畅。

例：政治演讲

We have come to dedicate a portion of that field as a final resting place for those who here gave

their lives that that nation might live.译文：我们来到这里，将战场的一角奉献给那些为捍卫国家生存而英勇献身的烈士们，作为他们的安息之地。

3、风格：语气庄重，语言生动，感染力强。

例1：We have visited your historic heroic capital city of Beijing.We have visited Shanghai, the bustling industrial and port city, …

We have caught the magic and enchantment of Guilin, …

And now we come to Guangzhou, for the close of the Guangzhou fair, yet another symbol of the growing ties between our two countries.译文：

我们访问了你们的历史名城，英雄的首都北京。

我们访问了繁忙的工业和海港城市上海，……

我们游览了仙境般的、景色迷人的桂林，……

现在我们来的广州参加广交会的闭幕式，这是我们两国关系日益密切的又一个象征。

例2：Let every nation know, whether it wishes us well or ill, that we shall pay any price, bear any burden, meet any hardship, support any friend, appose any foe, in order to assure the survival and she success of liberty.译文：让每个国家都知道——不论它希望我们繁荣还是希望我们衰落——为确保自由的存在和自由的胜利，我们将付出任何代价，承受任何负担，应付任何艰难，支持任何朋友，反抗任何敌人。

谈谈对商务文体翻译的理解

商务英语转本1 姜丽丽 13号

对于翻译其实每位大学生都不陌生，但是怎么翻译地正确、精彩便是一个很大的问题。翻译是一门博大精深的学问，是全世界各国都积极研究和探讨的学问。作为二十一世纪的我们，如今翻译依然是必不可少的，现在的专家与学者，更加致力于将最本质最原始的文化传递开来，而不是简单的字面含义的传递。这就需要翻译者的水平不断提升，以达到翻译“信、达、雅”的准则。

这学期我们学习了实用文体翻译这门课程。对于翻译这门课程我们并不陌生，因为在上一学期已经接触到翻译课程。相对来说，汉译英学习起来比英译汉要难一些，但是顾老师结合书本上的例子以及他的文章给我们具体讲解，让我们更进一步了解翻译的重要性。在翻译的过程中，往往会犯一些很幼稚的错误，酿成笑话。顾老师曾经说过：“衡量一个人的英语水平，并不是看他的词汇量，而是看他的翻译水平。”想要翻译，你必须先是一个Major。例如：(a)A particular average is an insurance loss that affects specific interests only.(b)A general average is an insurance loss that affects all cargo interests on board the vessel as well as the ship herself.[原译](a)个别海损（particular average），指仅涉及某项具体财物的保险损失(b)综合海损（general average），指涉及船上的所有货物和船本身的保险损失。这是一个货物保险条款的术语，有3处错误，particular average应为单独海损，general average应为共同海损，interest应为利益方。这个就是典型的专业术语没有学好。

到目前为止我们已经学习了5周，我总结了一些自己对实用文体翻译学习的看法。

第一，要想把翻译搞好，就要把基础知识弄扎实，稳固的基础知识是良好翻译的前提。在这样的前提下，就需要我们平时多积累单词，没有大的词汇量根本没有办法顺利完成翻译。单词不用刻意去背，但一定要从平时的学习中去总结，去积累。值得注意的是一些固定搭配的词汇、俚语或成语，和在特定场合或在专业领域里有着不同解释的词汇。其次，语法知识的牢固是英语专业必须做到的本质工作，牢固的语法知识会帮助我们理解和翻译。若语法不牢，那就根本不懂句子的逻辑关系，从而不能理解其所表达的含义。此外，各个方面的知识也需要我们的掌握。这也是英语专业区别于非英语专业的一个特点。不仅是文化方面，经济，政治，饮食等等都需要积累。因为将来若要从事翻译，那是触及到知识的方方面面，各行各业，知识的积累就能帮助做到面面俱到。学习英语翻译，就是学会将母语中文翻译成英语，以及把英语翻译成中文的一个过程。除了要对英语知识的掌握以外，母语也不能被丢掉。我们还需要多阅读中文书籍，多揣摩中文的字词句，这样表达上就会更灵巧，翻译的也会更得体。翻译是一个慢慢积累的过程，是不能够通过突击，或是猛攻就一下子能掌握得很好的一门学问。

第二，翻译学习除了要不断地积累之外还要不断地练习。在掌握了一定的知识储备之后就要把它们拿来操练。多练习翻译，并且拿自己的与参考译文来做比较，找出自己的不足，一定要从专业的角度来分析。比如，是翻译采用的方法不对还是词义的选择不准确，是语法功底不足还是词汇的稀少。

我对翻译课的建议就是，可以给大家再从更广的方面普及知识，让我们的翻译内容涉及各个方面，培养大家的英语思维，将翻译与日常生活相结合。
