Dear Sir or Madam:
I have heard from the newspaper that you, the Shanghai Museum, are planning to organize a famous painting exhibition.And you are now collecting suggestions about whether to hold it in your museum or at the community library.I am now writing to express my opinion that the exhibition should be held in the museum.My reasons are as follows.In terms of convenience, the museum has more advantages over the community library.First, it is located in the People’s Square, which is the center of the city.So people can enjoy convenient transportation such as the subway line 1, 2 and 8, which are available from nearly every district.It saves the visitors a lot of time and trouble of traffic jam.Another advantage is that it is easy to be found by those from other provinces around the country.After all, the Shanghai Museum is a
landmark of our city familiar to nearly every Chinese.With regard to the professional function, though it seems acceptable that an art exhibition be set in a community library, in a more general sense, I think the museum has more advanced facilities to make the exhibition successful and to preserve the paintings well.As we know, the museum has successfully held many national and international exhibitions and its advertising and organizing experience is of no match;in addition,its staff are qualified and professional.To sum up, I am sure the show will be fantastic if it is held in Shanghai Museum.(248 words)
第五篇:英语翻译与实践论文
英语翻译与实践论文
英语翻译与实践有涉及传统的文学和文化翻译的,也有谈应用翻译的,包括经贸翻译、科技翻译、法律翻译、新闻翻译等等。尽管如此,这些文章有一个共同点,那就是都是围绕着翻译理论和实践中的一些问题展开的,所以也就不怕重复,名之曰“英语翻译理论与实践论文集”。
2012年下学期所选修的英语翻译与实践课程,内容主要为英译汉,并且如何将句子翻译到位,英汉文化差异对习语翻译的影响,英文电影的欣赏与点评,品牌名的翻译原则及翻译方法,科技英语翻译亦需“雅“,浅谈文化差异与英汉成语翻译,翻译中的文化差异与词义偏离。
从信、达、雅看翻译方法,这是老师在上课经常强调需要注意的地方。另外,论影视剧片名的翻译,注重文化差异,巧译英语习语,应用翻译研究——如何使英文译文更地道,也是值得特别关注的。
比如,老师在第一节课上讲的第一个句子:I`m up to my neck in you bullshit.这个句子就显得比较抽象,如果用直译的方法,就会显得比较生硬,而如何将它翻译得更贴切呢,这就得跟平常的习语联系起来,应翻译成“你把我害惨了!”。当然,这只是其中的一个例子而已,也就再次说明了翻译理论中的美,语义翻译与交际翻译的区别与应用,直译、意译与译者主体性。另外,在这门课程中,学到了不少陌生的英语单词与词组,增加了自己的词汇量。例如,“thorns”的中文意思为“荆棘”,“organic cotton”的中文意思为“有机棉”,“a senior citizen”的中文意思为“老人”,等等。对于英汉语言中颜色词的文化差异及翻译,这里也可以用一个例子来说明:“Do you see any green in my eye?”这里的“green”不应翻译成“绿色”,整个句子应翻译成“你觉得我好欺负吗?”语义翻译和交际翻译方法在实际中的应用也是不可忽视的,在与异国人对话过程中,将别人的话会错意是挺尴尬的事情,所以,英语翻译与实践这门课程起到了不可忽视的作用。
最适合读者的翻译法——根据译作的功能来决定,英语文化词语的翻译涉及创造性,而创造性在翻译中存在的必然性与价值是值得肯定的,翻译的标准不仅是我们衡量译文质量的尺度,也是我们从事翻译时要努力达到的目标。从事翻译必须广泛涉猎不同文化间的差异,还要注意语言环境的影响,把“忠实”放在第一位,同时要通顺、易懂。关键需要注意的是翻译标准;语言环境;文化差异。
翻译是一种创造性的语言艺术工作。鲁迅先生说过:凡是翻译,必须兼顾两面,一则当然力求其易解,一则是保存着原作的丰姿。从实质上来讲,就是要使原文的内容、风格、笔锋、韵味在译文中得以再现。翻译涉及原语(source language)与译语(target language)两种语言及其文化背景等各方面的知识,有时非常复杂。所以,译者要想收到理想的翻译效果,常常需要字斟句酌,反复推敲,仅仅懂得一些基本技巧知识是不够的,必须广泛涉猎不同文化间的差异,必须在两种语言上下工夫,乃至独具匠心。
简而言之,英语翻译与实践这门课程,让我更深层次地了解了翻译的技巧,中美文化的差异,领略到了翻译的乐趣,是很好的一次体验。
