第三篇:电子商务英语重点词汇
商务英语翻译
II.请翻译下列标识语。(1)
(1)
Left Baggage
行李寄存
(2)
Photography and video are not permitted inside the building 楼内禁止拍照、录像
(3)
Foreign Exchange(Services)外币兑换(服务
(4)
Particulars Of Membership 仅限会员(入内/使用)
(5)
Customers Lounges
旅客休息室
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。
商务出行标识(Business Travel Signs)商场促销标识(Promoting Signs)企业标识(Company Signs)
商务出行标识(Business Travel Signs)
商务出行涉及商务交通、商务住宿等各个方面。因此,交通标识、商务住宿标识就成为商务出行标识的主要内容。
交通标识包括道路指示牌、交通安全提示牌、限时限速的指示牌等等。以下是一些常见的交通标识:

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)

②To be in need of.需要

①To be wanting or deficient:缺乏:处于匮乏或不足状态:
You will not be lacking in support from me.你将得到我的帮助
(注:这里把lacking处理为vi.,并没有作为adj.来得简单)
②To be in need of something:需要:需要某物:

[练习]
1.Many of our young workers ___ proper training.?
A.are lacking inB.are lackingC.lack forD.lack in[A]
2.We tried to settle the problem with them as soon as possible, but they seemed to____ sincerity.A.lack ofB.be lack ofC.lack inD.be lacking in(D)
3.Though________ money, his parents managed to send him to university.A.lackedB.lacking ofC.lackingD.lacked in
<解答> Though lacking money是Though they are lacking money的省略句,其中lack是vt.。
4.Keep him at arm's length, as he is a guy being lacking ______ honesty.A.ofB.onC.inD.about(C)
5.That was another example of _____ experience.A.a lack ofB.lack fromC.their lack forD.their lack of
<解答>.D lack作及物动词时,后面直接用名词或代词做宾语;作不及物动词时常和for连用;作名词时常和of搭配使用。
6.--What caused the failure of the experiment?
--_____.(C)
A.Because of shortage of fundB.For lack of fundC.Lack of fundD.Due to lack of fund
7.The boss praised the young man for his hard work, though he ____ experience.A.is lack ofB.is lacking inC.lacks ofD.is lacking of
此题答案选B,be lacking in是习语,意为“缺乏”,其后通常接experience, frankness, courage等抽象名词。选A是错误的,因为lack可用做名词和动词,但不用做形容词;选C是错误的,因为lack用做动词时,它是及物动词,其后不用介词(注:用做名词的 lack后可接介词of);选D是错误的,因为没有be lacking of这个搭配。
8.I'm sorry, We're ________that kind of trousers.Would you come back next week?
A.shortB.lackingC.in needD.short of(D)
[案例1.]
1.He can’t endure the lack of food.2.He can’t endure a lack of food.3.He can’t endure lack of food.Are they all correct?
Yes, they are, but number 3 would not be heard very often, simply because it's not so easy to say
smoothly.You need a hard stop between “endure” and “lack,” so even if you mean to say that, it tends to come out as “endure-uh lack.”
[案例2.]
The authorities declared that because of the war petrol was _____ and had to be rationed(定量供应).A.inadequateB.rareC.lackedD.scarce
[答] D.scarce.汽油供不应求,因此必须定量配给。
Scarce(=not available in sufficient quantity, not equal to the demand)不充足的,缺乏的,供不应求的。Inadequate 不适应的,不充分的。
lackvt./vi.(=be without;not have;have less than enough of)缺乏;没有;缺少,例如:
1)He lacks perseverance.(他缺乏坚定性。)
2)Money is lacking for the plan.(此计划尚缺钱。)
3)He is lacking in courage.(他缺乏勇气。)
be lacking in 常指缺乏某种品质、特点等。
lack作及物动词时,一般不用被动语态,故不能选C.lacked.4)They lacked for nothing.(他们什么也不缺。)有人认为,lack for是美国英语。
[案例3.]
I am lacking of practice or I am lacking practice.BE:正常表达的方式是:
“I haven't given a massage for a long time.I'm out of practice.”
If you want to use the verb “to lack”:
“I lack practice” or I'm lacking in practice“.[案例4.]
1.Lacking money, he couldn't spend his holiday in Shanghai this summer.2.Lacking in money, he couldn't spend his holiday in Shanghai this summer.Q:这两句是否都对?
答:1句对(lack sth.);2句错(但语法结构并不错be lacking in sth.).句2类似结构的关键是 be lacking in + quality
Lacking in courage, he would never leave home.Totally lacking in charm, he could not attract the audience.注:However, this is still not very idiomatic.I would expect:
Because he was lacking in courage, he never left home.[注意事项]
1.There is no lack of … 总用is/was单数形式
2.For lack of 里没有the
【问题探究】He is lack of money.问:lack 是名词,这里似乎是不能放be动词后的吧?
答:That’s water.名词有时也能用在be动词后。这似乎有些题外了。当然本题句是错误的,下面的都对:
1.He lacks money [lacks = verb]
2.He has a lack of money [lack = noun]
3.He is lacking in money [lacking = adjective]
”He is lack of money.“(X)
”He suffers from a lack of money/confidence /personality/etc.“(”Lack“ = noun.)(V)
”I can't meet you today for lack of time.“(”Lack“ = noun.)(V)
”Lacking“ 可以是adjective, 常用于be lacking in sth.结构。且那sth.应该是抽象的事物,故上面的句3也错误了。
题目句是错的。可以说: ”He is lacking money“ 或 ”he lacks money“.如果说 ”He is...“(如 ”He is a teacher“)那么就是在描述他什么, 也就是他自己不能是(a lack)< he cannot himself be 'a lack'>
有时人们把lack用与这样的句子,如 ”He lacks common sense/initiative“.'To lack' 是个很华丽的古英语动词, 但现在人们也许更可能用 ”He has no...".
