标识的语言特点
1.大量使用名词短语、动词短语或动名词http://www.xiexiebang.com/
具有指示、说明性质的标识往往使用名词短语,以直接、准确无误地传达特定信息。如Fast Lane快行道、Conference Centre会议中心、Food & Beverage餐饮部、Business Centre商务中心、Road Work正在施工、Tollgate收费站、Check-in登记入住、Baggage Office行李房等。而具有强制、限制性质的标识大多使用动名词或祈使句,以将公众的注意力集中在所要求采取的行动上。如No Spitting严禁随地吐痰、Please Do Not Disturb 请勿打扰、Mind the Gap注意站台缝隙、Please Use Revolving Door请使用旋转门、Beware Obstruction小心障碍。在翻译过程中我们也应采用相应的名词短语或祈使句句式,力求在语气、信息度等方面做到较好的匹配。
2.文笔凝练、措辞精确
标识多省略冠词、代词、助动词等,仅使用实词、核心词汇,以供人们在最短的时间了解最准确、最直接的信息。从词汇方面来看,尽量减少复杂词汇和多种时态的动词;从句型方面考虑,简单明了的祈使句是标识用语常用的句型。标识语的字数往往精简到最低限度,如City Bus Only市内公共汽车专用、Post-paid邮资已付、Danger危险、Admission Free免票入场、Beverage Not Included酒水另付等,只需短短两三个单词就表明了意思。此外,标识用语有时甚至会借用一些简单的字母或数字代替单词,例如:4 SALE出售、Merry X’mas圣诞快乐,等等。
3.具有很强的规约性
由于历史沿革和语言文化习惯等因素,很多标识用语的翻译都已约定俗成,不宜随意变更。如“油漆未干”可能会被译作“The paint is not dry.”或“The paint is wet.”,这些译法虽然从语法来讲完全正确,但容易造成理解上的障碍或不便,因此不宜采用。事实上,这个标识语 “地道”的译法是“Wet Paint”,既简洁明了又完全符合英美人的语言习惯。类似的例句还有“双向行驶”、“远离火源”,分别译为“Two Way” 和“Keep Fire Away”。在标识语翻译中,译者应多留意英美国家常用的规范标准的标识用语,尽量使用和汉语标识相应的、地道得体的英语语汇进行翻译。
4.使用大写字母,省略标点符号
如STOP、EXIT、DEAD END等,汉译英时,英文需大写。
5.语言运用力求引人注目。
尤其是商业标识(Business Signs)及店铺的招牌(Signboard),更要追求夸张的效果。例如EOM(End of Month)Sale月终大廉价、Grand Sale/Bargain Sale大甩卖、Big Price Plunge大削价,等等。
标识的翻译
II.标识的翻译技巧(2)1.去繁从简
在特定的语境中,某些标识在被翻译成另一种语言时,其语用的含义比词语本身的含义更重要。这时,译者应删除繁琐部分,仅保留足以传达标识语功能和目的的词汇。例如:“青岛是我家,清洁靠大家”常被译作 “Qingdao is our home, its cleanness depends on all of us”。从表面上看,该译法似乎说得过去,字字忠实于原文。但仔细分析不难发现,该译法明显受中文表达习惯的影响,不仅累赘,而且容易让外籍人士产生困惑。正确的翻译应该是“Keep Our City Clean”。该译法既简洁凝练,又意图明确。类似地,“注意安全,请勿攀爬单边墙”(Pay attention to your safety, don’t climb the single wall.),“遇到火灾,勿用电梯”(When there is a fire,don’t use the elevator!)就可以相应地简化为 “No Climbing!”,“Don’t use the elevator in case of fire!”。
2.遵从习惯,使用规范标准的标识语
标识用语具有很强的规约性。受语言习惯的影响,很多标识语的翻译都已约定俗成,不宜随意改动。例如:我们外出常见到的“小草微微笑,请你走便道”、“请勿践踏”等标识语就不能生硬地译为“Little grass is smiling slightly, please walk on pavement.”,而要按照英语的习惯直接翻译成“Keep Off the Grass”。再比如:“前方修路,请慢驾驶”和“该路段为单行道”可以按英语习惯分别翻译为“Road Work Ahead”和“One-Way”。
3.程式化套译
英文标识语的结构比较固定,程式化的套语运用广泛,因此翻译时可以采用程式化套译。例如表达“禁止做某事”可以套译为“No+名词或动名词”的形式,如禁止掉头No U Turn、禁止入内No Admittance、禁止停车No Parking、禁止吸烟No Smoking等;表示“专用”,可以采用“名词+Only”的形式,如贵宾专用VIP Only、儿童专用Children Only等;表示“请勿做某事”,可以采用“Do Not +动词”的表达方式,如请勿触摸Do Not Touch、请勿扔垃圾Do Not Litter等。4.反面着笔http://www.xiexiebang.com/
英汉两种语言在逻辑思维方面存在着差异,在翻译时,可从反面着笔把原意表达出来。标识语的翻译可以通过这种方法成功地实现汉英转化。如“请勿将头伸出窗外”翻译为“Keep Head Inside Vehicle”而不是正面表达为“Don’t put your head out of the window.”。再比如:请勿触摸Hands Off、无烟商场Smoking Free Store、工地危险,禁止入内Danger,Building Site,等等。
商用标识的翻译
下面分类介绍商用标识的翻译。商用标识的范围很广,总体上可以分为商务出行标识、商场标识、企业标识等。

常用翻译方法
常用翻译方法系列:直译法和意译法(1)
直译是指译文不仅表达原文的内容,还保留原文的表达形式,比如保留原文所使用的比喻、形象、民族特色等,使读者从译文中能得到与原文大致相同的感受。直译法一方面有助于保留原文的风格,另一方面又有助于从他国引进一些新鲜、生动的词语和表达方法。但直译并不是死译或硬译。例如:
(1)In some automated plants, electronic computers control the entire production line.译:在某些自动化工厂,电子计算机控制整个生产线。(直译)(2)Demand has the same effect on the height of price as production.需求有同样的影响在高度的价格上像生产。(死译)
译文:该翻译既不忠实原意,又不符合汉语的表达方式。正确的译法为:
需求像生产一样会影响价格。
(3)Challenge the limits 挑战极限(三星)
(4)Winning the hearts of the world 赢取天下心(法国航空公司)
(5)Hand in Hand, Future in Your Hand 伴你同行,齐握未来(太平洋人寿)
(6)Striving today for all your tomorrows 为你未来,做好现在(中银集团)

1.Driving eastwards: 题目选词可谓独具匠心。本文谈的是汽车的事,因此 driving eastwards 可以是驱车东行,但其真正的含义是向东进发,开拓市场,将汽车制造业及其销售市场移至东欧各地。
2.but he would earn around eight times as much … 句中 would + 动词原形earn, 表示与现在事态相反的情况,而不是过去将来时。例如:If I were to tell him all I know, he would be amazed.如果我把我知道的告诉他,他会很吃惊的(事实是:“我”并没有这么做)。As much :(在此)同样数量。例如:He has 50 Yuan, and I have as much.他有50 元钱,我也有这么多。3.in addition to : 除了……之外(还),例如:In addition to apples you asked for, I bought your oranges.除了你要的苹果之外,我还给你买了橘子。4.sales are growing by up to 41 percent … by:(表示数量、程度等)以、、、、、、之差,例如:The rate of growth fell by 3 percent.增长率下降了3%。Up to:(数目上)多达,达到,例如:This tend can take up to 10 men.这顶帐篷至多可睡10人。

Ss look at an example of a vocabulary storage card and complete cards in a similar way.Ss work in pairs and discuss which types of information they would choose to store on cards.T highlights the use of cards for vocabulary building(collocations, opposites etc.).Building your vocabulary
Ss focus on word families and note ways of changing form through suffixes, prefixes etc.They then build up words and write example sentences.要点解析
1. 由词根加前、后缀产生的词汇叫派生词,同一词根加不同的词缀可以表示不同的意义或词类。由前缀加词根构成的派生词通常只改变词义而不改变词性(少数例外)。词根加后缀改变词性,词汇意义也略有改变。2. 在名词或形容词的词尾加-ise 或-ize 同-ise 可将名词或形容词变为动词,所以,global(形容词、全球的);globalise/globalize(动词、使全球化);standard(名词、标准);standardise / stardardize(名词、使标准化)。因此,课文第一行准确的说法应是Adjective/ Noun to verb, 而不是Noun to verb.BEC Preliminary
3. 将形容词变成名词时可在词尾加 –ity/ty 如:loyal___ loyalty, royal____ royalty.但是,当形容词以-e 结尾时,应去掉-e, 加-ity, 如 diverse____ diversity.4. 将形容词变成副词时,通常是在形容词尾加上-ly。例如:natural_____ naturally, quick___ quickly, common _______ commonly.但是,当形容词以-y 结尾时,在加-ly 之前应先变y 为I, 例如:heavy ______ heavily, busy _____busily.当形容词以-le 结尾时,去e 加y 即可,例如:simple ___simply, reasonable _____reasonably.课文提到的这些加前、后缀的构词法法对我们帮助积累和扩大词汇量很有用,必须熟记。但是在运用时,还是要多与字典核对,不可想当然,以免出错。比如,将动词变成表示执行这个动作的人(物)的名词时,可在该动词后加-er或-or, 如:worker, investor;又如,以r开头的形容词通常以加前缀ir-的方法表示其否定意义,如:rational _____ irrational, regular _____irregular.但是,我们还可以看到下面这些例外的现象:reasonable ______ unreasonable, realistic ________ unrealistic.所以,到底怎么用,对初学者来说,还应该通过查字典来确定。

1)My wife and I can't come to the phone right now, but if you'll leave your name and number, we'll get back to you as soon as we're finished.2)Hi.This is John.If you are the phone company, I already sent the money.If you are my parents, please send money.If you are my financial aid institution, you didn't lend me enough money.If you are my friends, you owe me money.If you are a female, don't worry, I have plenty of money.3)Hi, I'm not home right now but my answering machine is, so you can talk to it instead.Wait for the beep(beep:主人的Answer讲完以后,Answer Machine会发出一声beep,这时候来电话者就可以开始留言了。).4)Hi!John's answering machine is broken.This is his refrigerator.Please speak very slowly, and I'll stick your message to myself with one of these magnets(磁铁).注:通常情况下,来电话者面对录音讲话都不太自然,所以语言往往很急促,三句两句话就完了。这可苦坏了接听留言的主人,听多少遍都听不清留言者到底是谁,讲了些什么。对于母语非英文的人,这种感觉会更深。所以,以下这两段幽默干脆就首先告诉电话拨入者,我的Answer Machine
BEC Preliminary
不好使,你且慢慢来。
5)Hello, this is Sally's microwave.Her answering machine just eloped(私奔)with her tape deck(磁带驱动器), so I'm stuck with taking her calls.Say, if you want anything cooked while you leave your message, just hold it up to the phone.6)Hello, you are talking to a machine.I am capable of receiving messages.My owners do not need siding(墙板,壁板), windows, or a hot tub(浴盆), and their carpets are clean.They give to charity(慈善团体)through their office and do not need their picture taken.If you're still with me, leave your name and number and they will get back to you.7)Hi.I am probably home.I'm just avoiding someone I don't like.Leave me a message, and if I don't call back, it's you.8)This is not an answering machine--this is a telepathic(心灵感应术)thought-recording device.After the tone, think about your name, your reason for calling and a number where I can reach you, and I'll think about returning your call.注:tone:与对第3)句beep的注释含义完全一样,主人的Answer讲完以后,Answer Machine会发出一声beep,这时候来电话者就可以开始留言了。
9)Hi, this is George.I'm sorry I can't answer the phone right now.Leave a message, and then wait by your phone until I call you back.BEC Preliminary
10)If you are a burglar(夜贼), then we're probably at home cleaning our weapons right now and can't come to the phone.Otherwise, we probably aren't home and it's safe to leave us a message.11)You're growing tired.Your eyelids(眼皮)are getting heavy.You feel very sleepy now.You are gradually losing your willpower(毅力)and your ability to resist suggestions.When you hear the tone you will feel helplessly compelled to(感到无助而被迫做某事)leave your name, number, and a message.12)Please leave a message.However, you have the right to remain silent.Everything you say will be recorded and will be used by us.注:you have the right to remain silent:电影电视里警察出示逮捕令时常讲的一句话。西方社会讲究人权,任何疑犯在未审判之前不得认为有罪,因而不能逼供、更不可拷打:他们有权保持沉默。
13)Hello, you've reached Jim and Sonya.We can't pick up the phone right now, because we're doing something we really enjoy.Sonya likes doing it up and down, and I like doing it left to right...real slowly.So leave a message, and when we're done brushing our teeth, we'll get back to you.Homework

备忘录、便条和通知的写作 1. 备忘录的写作特点
备忘录常用于公司组织内部,是联系工作、交流信息、处理日常公务时使用频率较高的一种便函,常由主管某项工作的人写给有关人员。因为用向外单位发送,写备忘录不需要称呼和结束套语。虽然备忘录文体格式不像正式公文那样严格,但却要求达到简明、易懂、切题的目的。
BEC Preliminary
(1)备忘录的结构
备忘录的便笺上常印有由公司名称和电话号码、备忘录(Memorandum 或:Memo)字样。很多机构都设计有自己专用的备忘录便笺。虽形式各有不同,但笺头部分通常都包括发件人、收件人、日期和主题或事由这几项,有的专用备忘录便笺上还印有供存档的编号。整个备忘录的内容由收件人、发件人、日期和主题或事由和主体组成。
① 收件人(to): 这一栏写收阅人姓名和职务,如:To: Mr.John Smith, Marketing;To: Mrs.Karen Mithel, office Secretary;或者一群有关人员,如: To: Managers.② 发件人(From): 这一栏是写备忘录人的姓名和职务,如:From: Henry Wallace, Sales Director.③ 日期(Date):这一栏写备忘录当天的日期,如:I march 2003.④ 事由或主题(subject): 备忘录的事由或主题通常以标题的形式出现,要求简洁达意,可不用动词,如 International Sales Conference.但也有的备忘录因内容不多,将这一项省略了,课文中的第二个备忘录便是一例。⑤ 主体(body): 也叫正文(Message).主体可长可短,但表述应尽力要求简洁正确,语言完整规范、准确正式。也就是说。内容应只接了当,尽量使用日常熟悉的词汇,单词拼写要正确,句子结构要符合语法,意义要完整、达意。要注意所表达的内容有效性,要用具体明确的词汇与句子。比如:I‘d like to meet you some time next week.语句虽然正确,但在体现明确的方
BEC Preliminary
面不如句子:I‘d like to meet you on the afternoon of next Tuesday 有效准确。另外,还应注意语言的得体性。(2)备忘录写作的语言
备忘录通常用于以下几种情况:第一,向某人、某部门提供信息;第二,确认在会议或电话中达成的协议或安排;第三,落实具体事项;第四,提供有关指示、说明或责任的文字记录。上面提到备忘录的语言应力求简洁、正确,语言完整、规范、准确、正式和有效。另外还有一点很重要,即应该注意语言得体性,尤其在通知或请求对方做某事的时候。比如:请求对方提供信息做某事时(asking for information)可以写作: Could you please send me…? Could you let me know …? Please book a flight ticket for me.Please see that…
在提供信息时(giving information)可以写作: The meaning director needs…
The annual report is due on 15 December.Salary sheets for the 3rd quarter should arrive at Manchester Head Office by next Monday.Henry Wallace is responsible for …
在对某事进行解释时(marketing explanations)可以写作:
BEC Preliminary
The reason is…
The problem was caused by… 2.便条的写作特点
与备忘录相比,便条的写作内容较简单,格式也没有备忘录那么正式规范,可以使用首字母缩写词和缩写词,省略主语、助词、冠词,可以只写名,不用姓和职务头衔来称呼对方,只要把事情说清楚就行了。
需要注意的是:虽然课文便条的范例中出现语法省略和使用首字母缩写词的情况,但实际考试对考生的要求是使用完整、正确、符合语法且达意的句子。2. 通知的写作特点
通知是一种上级对下级、组织对所属成员传达信息或布置工作的常用书面形式。同级部门之间需要互相转告,也可以发通知。通知的正文写作基本与备忘录的正文写作要求相同,即表述应力求简洁、正确,语言完整、规范、准确、正式。
需要强调的是:剑桥尚武英语的写作考试仅靠语法正确是拿不到高分的,还应该注意拼写、写作的常用套语和词汇、格式以及得体的语言等。商务信件的写作要遵守清楚、完整、简洁、得体这几项基本原则。

英国1994年开始对铁路系统实行私有化,并实行网运分离运作。1996 年开始由私营路轨公司接管了路轨、信号和车站的管理,并把乘客运输服务部分通过招标方式出售给多家火车公司经营,这些公司支付路轨使用费。多年来,拥有铁路的路轨公司与列车的运营者之间的关系一向都不愉快。英国是最早开展国有企业私有化的国家之一,大部分国企的私有化都相当成功,但2002年上半年,英国开始将私有化的地铁公司重新收归国有。要点解析(听力1录音文字稿)

6.reduced costs and more efficient sales practices resulted in growth reaching 9.9% in 1995/96: 成本下降和效率更高的销售方式使1995年至1996的增长达到了9。9%。result in 的意思是:导致,造成。例如:The accident resulted in two passengers dying.这起事故造成两名乘客死亡。
7.I‘d like to look at figure four, which shows Great Easter‘s reliability and punctuality figures.我想大家看一看图4,上面有大东方公司在可靠性和准点率方面的数据。注意figure 在句子中的不同意思。
III.Grammar
要点解析
现在完成体和一般过去时
1. 现在完成体有两个基本用法,一是―已完成‖,另一个是―未完成‖用法。不论哪一种,现在完成体所表示的意义都与现在时间有联系,因此都不能与表示确定的过去时间的状语连用,这是现在完成体用法上一条重要的规则。例如
BEC Preliminary
不可以说:I have known him in 1999.但是,当表示过去时间的状语是由since 引导时,就不在此限。例如:I have known him since 1999.我从1999 年起就认识他了。
2. 一般过去时主要用于表示(确定的)过去时间的状态动作,例如:We went to the cinema and saw a very interesting film last night.昨晚,我们去电影院看了一场很有意思的电影。一般过去时也可以用于表示过去的习惯动作。例如:We went to school together when we were boys so we saw each other every day.我们小时候一起去上学,所以每天见面。3. 一般过去时表示的状态或动作都已成为过去,现在已不复存在。要点解析
介词for 和since 都可以用来引导时间状语,但要注意它们的意义和用法上的差异。For +时间名词表示时间的长度,即:―有多久‖。例如:She has lived here for years.她已经住在这里多年了(含有目前还在这里住的意思)。由 since 引导的词组表示从过去某一点开始的时段,一直延续到说话的时间,因而与完成体连用,例如:She hasn‘t been here since 1995.自1995年起她就不在这里了。

1. Although we receive penalty payment from them for any due to the track, it doesn‘t help our reliability figures.虽然由于路线造成的延误我们可以得到违约款,但这并不能帮助我们提高可靠性方面的数据。句中help 的意思是:促进,助长。例如:The fall in the oil price will help our economic development.石油价格的下跌将有助于我国的经济发展。
2. We are also investing in new trains, which will lead to improve reliability levels.我们还将投资购买新火车,这将提高可靠性的水平。Lead to 的意思是:导致,通向。例如:This will lead to trouble in the future.这将导致以后的麻烦。The door leads to a beautiful garden.这扇门通向一个漂亮的花园。
3. The only way the companies can improve profits is by increasing passenger volumes.II.Grammar
