翻译的基本要求

翻译的基本要求

翻译的基本要求————————————————————————————————作者:————————————————————————————————日期:翻译的基本要求第一讲:翻译的基本要求、原理、理解与表达、可读性1. 翻译的基本要求(一)透彻理解英文意思下面的例句在不同的语境中可有不同的含义:例1. It’s getting hot in here.如直译:这里热起来了。

如作为语用含义,可译为:请求某人打开门窗。

如作为反语:抱怨这地方太热。

如作为比喻:指争论在升级,吵闹激烈起来了。

语用含义不是揭示人们说了些什么,而是告诉人们说这句话可能意味着什么。

语用学中语境在这起着至关重要的作用,在翻译过程中,语言的语用含义往往比词语本身所具备的意义更为重要。

这种翻译就是我们所说的语用等效翻译。

如果翻译的目的是为了使读者准确理解原文的内涵,那么译者就要根据原著所提供的语境依从读者的文化习俗,在忠实原著的前提下将原作化为读者乐于接受的译文形式即可。

在实际操作中,“意译法”是常用的手法。

所谓意译(free translation),是指通过对原文深层意蕴的理解和消化,将原文的表层解构打破和重组,尔后转化为译文自然流畅的表层解构,“意译法”的核心是灵活变通。

为了追求全面的、整体的和真正的意义等效和功能相当,通过打破原文架构的方法,以便寻找最佳表达。

吕叔湘先生曾经举过一个例子。

原文如下:例2. She knew I knew and she knew if she got funny I’d either ruin the romance or make her marry him, so she was very friendly.误译:她很了解我,我很了解她;要是她遭遇困难,我的牺牲我们的浪漫,让她同他结婚,因为她待我太好了。

[译文]她知道我知道她和他的事,她也明白她要是跟我过不去,破坏或成全他们全在我的一念之间,所以她对我很客气。

翻译理论与实践(以《英语翻译教程》南开大学出版社为基础)第一讲翻译概述一、翻译的概念1.广义的翻译指语言与语言、语言与非语言等代码转换和基本信息的传达。

它包括不同语言间的翻译(如英汉互译)语言变体间的翻译(如古今语言、不同方言的互译)、语言与其他交际符号的转换(如把交通规则画成交通标志)。

他对翻译的内容只强调“基本信息”,不强调“完全的忠实”。

也有翻译家提出“理解也是翻译”的理论,这就把语言与思维也包括在广义的翻译里了。

2.狭义的翻译指语言活动,是把一种语言所表达的内容中式地用另一种远表达出来。

这个定义强调“是一种语言活动”,表明它是人类多种交际方式中语言交际的沟通;强调“一种语言到另一种语言”,排除了同一语言间各变体的互译;强调“忠实地”,避免了翻译与释义或改写的混淆。

奈达(Eugene Nida)“Translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source-language message, first in terms of meaning and second in terms of style.”(Nida & Taber: The Theory and Practice of Translation)我们的翻译课讲的就是狭义的翻译,并专指“书面表达内容”,以区别于有独特之处的口译(interpretation)。

二、翻译的分类1.从所涉及的代码性质看,可分为语内翻译(intralingual translation)、语际翻译(interlingual translation)和语符翻译(intersemiotic translation)。

语内翻译是同一种语言见不同语言变体的翻译,如把古汉语译成现代汉语,把黑话译成一般语言(雷子,一方);语际翻译是不同语言间的翻译,是狭义翻译研究的对象;语符翻译是用非文字符号解释文字符号,如图画、手势、音乐符号等。

什么是翻译
A good translation is one which the merit of the original work is so completely transfused into another language as to be as distinctly apprehended and as strongly felt by a native of the country to which that language belongs as it is by those who speak the language of the original work. (Tytler, 1790) 好的翻译应该能够把原作的长处完全地移注到另一种语言 中,使译入语国家的人能够清楚地领悟、强烈地感受,就 像原语国家的人所领悟和感受的一样。——泰特勒, 1790

《 英汉互译(一)》第1课教案

广西师范学院《英汉互译(一)》课程教案编号: 15-1 开课单位:外语系授课教研室:翻译写作课程名称:《英汉互译(一)》授课教师:唐旭光教材:《新编英汉互译教程》,授课对象:06级英语专业2、3、5班《英汉互译(一)》第一讲翻译简论与主要翻译方法(A Brief Discussion of Translation and Major Translation Approaches)1. IntroductionTranslation studies started along with translation practice. Translation theories developed flourishingly in the 20th century, especially in the second half of the last century.In fact, translation, which is a very complex phenomenon, is related to different disciplines, such as linguistics, psychology, sociology, cultural anthropology, communication theory, literary criticism, aesthetics, and semiotics. As translation study is a cross-discipline and cross-culture subject involving many aspects of human knowledge, the lack of a fully acceptable theory of translation should not come as a surprise. Meanwhile, quite a number of translation approaches and strategies have become universally acceptable and widely applicable. They are, of course, the fruits of many translation theorists and translation practitioners at home and abroad.2.The Origin of TranslationLanguage makes it possible for people to communicate with one another freely so as to complete important tasks in human life. Translation makes it possible for people from different languages to communicate with one another so as to complete important tasks in their life.Theodore Savory points out, “Translation is almost as old as original authorship and has a history as honorable and as complex as that of any other branch of literature”(申雨平, 2002:4).In Zhou Dynasty there were different forms of address for translators in different places. “Translators are called Ji in the east, Xiang in the south, Didi in the west, andYi in the north(东方曰寄,南方曰象,西方曰狄鞮,北方曰译)”(陈福康, 2000:3).3. Function of TranslationIt has helped people to better communicate with one another, and in the mean time it has facilitated the development of culture and civilization of all nations, such as the Sutra translation (佛经翻译)in China and the Bible translation in Western countries.Actually, translation, as a means to bridge different cultures, has been playing a very important role in promoting global economic and cultural development, and China in particular benefits a great deal from translation, which is obvious to all.4. Nature of translationOne school of theorists maintain that any interpretation is translation. Translation thus defined includes intra-lingual rewording(语言内的重新措辞), inter-lingual (语言之间的翻译或语际翻译)translation and inter-semiotic transmutation(符号转换).But most scholars who are interested in translation maintain that translation is a communicative activity which entails a most adequate or identical reproduction in a target language of a written message or text in a source language.5. Definition of translation in our textbook as follows: Translation or translating is a communicative activity or dynamic process in which the translator makes great effort to thoroughly comprehend a written message or text in the source language and works very hard to achieve an adequate or an almost identical reproduction in the target language version of the written source language message or text. In terms of its nature or character, translation is both an art and a science as well, since it calls for a good command of at least two languages, a flexible application of their rules, and some knowledge of at least two cultures, as well as a good grasp of the necessary translation theories.6. Other scholars’ viewpoints about the translation1). The traditional viewpoint about the nature of translation is that translation is an art only. This viewpoint is still maintained by Xu Yuanchong(许渊冲), a well-known professor at Beijing University, and a few other scholars.2). Professor Liu Zhongde vigorously advocates that translation is a science as well as an art mainly because of the following reasons:Firstly, like any other art and science, translation requires a good grasp and a flexible use of the necessary specialized knowledge and skills.Secondly, like any other art and science, translation calls for independent, honest and creative effort.Thirdly, just like any other art and science, translation demands that the translator be very careful about and highly responsible for his or her work.7. Principle for translationThe 13 statements on page 81). A translation must reproduce the words of the SLT(Source Language Text).2). A translation must reproduce the ideas (meaning) of the SLT.3). A translation should read like an original work.4). A translation should read like a translation.5). A translation should reflect the style of the original.6). A translation should possess the style of the translator.7). A translation should retain the historical stylistic dimension of the SLT.8). A translation should read as a contemporary piece of literature.9). A translation may add to or omit from the original.10). A translation may never add to or omit from the original.11). A translation should let the readers of the SLT and the target language text (TLT) have essentially the same response.12). A translation should convey what the SLT author intends to convey.13). A translation should satisfy the need of the client.Evidently, though each of the above statements is right in a certain sense, yet it is not adequate or comprehensive enough to serve as a translation principle. Some of the principles proposed by various translation theorists can find their expression in the statements given above. Interlinear translation is an illustration of the first statement. Yan Fu’s three-character principle can be a combination of statements 2, 3 and 6. Nida’s functional equivalence is best express ed in statement 11.8. Yan Fu’s Considerations for translation?Strictly speaking, a translation theory in its true sense in China originated from Yan Fu(严复). He proposed the famous triple principle for translation, namely, faithfulness(信), expressiveness(达) and elegance(雅).1). His faithfulness means that the translated text should be faithful to the original text, ie, the version should keep the content or ideas of the original.2). His expressiveness means that the translated text should be expressive and coherent without anything awkward. In other words, his expressiveness requires that the version should be fluid, smooth, and easy to read and understand.3). His elegance demands that the translated text should be exquisite and that its style ought to be very graceful.9. Professor Liu Zhongde argues against “elegance” as a principle for translation of the original styleHe argued eloquently against “elegance” as a principle for translation of the original style. We all know that not all works are characterized by the elegant style. Different writers display different styles. For instance, Lenin wrote in a bold style, and Hemingway wrote in a simple, symbolic style. Even the same writer shows different styles on different occasions for different purposes. Naturally, different works demonstrate different styles. Thus, it is impossible & absolutely wrong to achieve the effect of elegance in the translated text if the style of the original is not elegant.10. The compiler of the textbook in favor of “closeness”1). We are in favor of Professor Liu’s triple translation principle. He changed Yan Fu’s “elegance” into “closeness”, which represents his contribution to the translation theory. His “closeness” is central in meaning. It is suitable for translation of all types of texts with different styles.2). If the original text is characterized by the elegant style, the translator should do his utmost to render it into a graceful text in the target language whose style is close to the original elegant style.If the original style is highly technical with a wealth of technical terms, thetranslator ought to employ plenty of corresponding technical terms in the target language and make the translated style as close to the original technical style as possible.3). If the original style is colloquial with a lot of informal words and colloquial sentences, the translator should translate it into a text with an informal style as close as possible to the original one by using many colloquial words and informal sentences.If the original style is ornate, the translator should follow suit and make effort to render the translated style as close to the original as possible.If the original text contains some vulgar words and sentences, the translator is not entitled to replace them with elegant words or sentences, and he should reproduce the original by using some corresponding vulgar words and sentences in the receptor language. Translators are duty-bound to do so, for the simple reason that they are translators.4). As we know, Yan Fu’s triple translation principle is highly concise and well rhymed and quite easy to learn by heart, which is one of the reasons why it is still very popular in China today.Professor Liu’s triple principle is similar to Yan Fu’s in that it is equally concise and easy to remember.Though Professor Liu’s triple principle is n ot rhymed, yet it is very forceful and impressive, for the Chinese character “切” is uttered in the falling tone, carrying the implication that faithfully conveying the original style or rendering the translated style as close to the original as possible is absolutely necessary and worth the translator’s great effort.11. Nida’s principle for translationEugene A. Nida and Taber stated emphatically (1969:12): “Translation consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalence of the source language message, first in terms of meaning and secondly in terms of style”.His dynamic equivalence is defined as a translation principle, according to which the translator seeks to translate the meaning of the original in such a way that the target language text wording will produce the same impact on the target text audience as the original wording does upon the source text audience. Later on, Nida changed “dynamic equivalence” into “functional equivalence”, because it seemed much more satisfactory to use the expression “functional equivalence” in describing the degree of adequacy of a translation.12. The literal translation approachProfessor Liu Zhongde (1994: 172) defines literal translation as follows: “In the process of translation, literal translation treats sentences as basic units and at the same time takes the whole passage into consideration; a translator who attaches great importance to literal translation does his or her best to reproduce the ideas and writing style of the original work, retaining in the version as many rhetorical devices and sentence structures of the original as possible.”ExamplesHe is said to be a rough diamond.人们说他是一块浑金璞玉。

三.汉语动词转换成英语的介词或介词词组
与汉语相比,英语用介词较多,而且有一些英语 介词本是由动词演变而来的,具有动词的特征。 因此在汉译英时,汉语的一些动词常常可用英语 的介词或介词词组来翻译。如: 孩子们都上一个学堂。 The children are in the same school. 我们对待世界大战这个问题的态度是,第一,反 对;第二,不怕。 Our attitude on the question of world war is , first, we are against it, second, we are not afraid of it.

一.汉语的动词转换成英语的名词
汉语中动词用得较多,除大量的动宾结构 外,还有连动式、兼语式等两个以上动词 连用的现象。而英语则不然,一句话往往 只用一个谓语动词,而且英语的名词也比 汉语的名词用得多。由于两种语言各自所 具有的这种特点,汉译英时常常需要把汉 语动词转换成英语名词。有时,随着汉语 动词的这种转换,修饰该动词的副词也自 然需要转换。请看下列例句:
他们教导我们要珍惜每一个机会。 They taught us the value of an opportunity. 他长期以来习惯于在最后一分钟作出决定。 He has long been used to last-minute decisions. 她对他们越来越憎恨。 Her hatred for them grew more. 他酷爱古典音乐。 He is an ardent lover of classical music. 他指挥着一个团。 He is a commander of a regiment.

翻译理论 第一讲

翻译理论 第一讲

第一讲翻译的性质、标准、过程和要求1.1 What is translation?1)翻译是把一种语言文字所表达的思维内容用另一种语言表达出来的双语转换过程或结果。

就英汉翻译而言,就是把英语所表达的意义忠实准确地用汉语表达出来。

2) 翻译是跨语言(cross-linguistic),跨文化(cross-cultural),跨社会(cross-social)的交际活动。

3) 翻译是一种语言文化承载的意义转换到另一种语言文化中的跨语言,跨文化的交际活动。

4)翻译过程不仅涉及两种语言,而且还涉及两种社会文化,语言是文化的载体。

5)翻译是通过语言机制的转换连接或沟通自身文化和异国文化的桥梁;翻译是具有不同语言文化背景的人互相交际、交流思想,达到相互了解的媒介。

6)翻译是一项艰苦的创造性实践活动。

它形成于社会、文化和语言现实之中,同时又为促进社会、文化和语言发展服务。

7)翻译属于交叉学科,它与语言学、符号学、修辞学、心理学、人类学等有着密切联系。

它正在发展成为一个自成体系的独立学科——翻译学。

8)翻译又是一门艺术。

翻译美学是翻译学的不可分割的组成部分。

总之,翻译是一种融理论、技能、艺术于一体的语言实践活动。

1.2 翻译一般分为三类:口译(interpretation),笔译(translation)和机器翻译(machine translation)。

1.3 翻译的性质对翻译的性质,有过许多描述,其中奈达(Eugene.A.Nida)的论述是:“翻译是指从语义到文体在译语中用最切近而又最自然的对等语再现原文的信息。

”Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor/target language, the closet natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning, and secondly in terms of style.[1]再现原文的信息(message),而不是保持原文的形式结构[2]closest, natural[3] equivalence 对等;对等≠同一[4] meaning first[5] style is also important翻译不是一种语言中的词语和语句结构和另一种语言的词语和语句结构的简单转换,也不是在另一种语言中寻找与一种语言中对等的词语和语句结构然后将其串接成句的过程。

❖ 清朝末年,严复在《天演论》卷首的译例言中 提出了著名的“信、达、雅”三字翻译标准。 在很多学者看来,严复所谓的“信”、“达” 与“求真”、“喻俗”实质上并无二致,应当 看作是可以接受的两条标准;但他们对“雅” 的看法却争议颇大:
❖ 翻译的复杂性是由翻译活动的性质所决定的。 ❖ 下面三条关于翻译的定义突出强调翻译作为语
际意义转换活动或过程的特性:

1.1 翻译的性质
❖ 翻译实际上是一种十分复杂的语言活动。有的 学者甚至认为,翻译大概是整个宇宙进化过程 中迄今为止最为复杂的一种活动(Translating is probably the most complex type of event in the history the cosmos.)

1.1 翻译的性质
❖ 两种语言之间意义的对应转换只能是尽可能地对等; 而且考虑到两种语言表达方式上的不同特点,还须
重视译文的自然地道。在这一点上,美国著名的翻 译理论家尤金-奈达 (Eugene Nida) 对翻译的定义一 语破的:
▪ Translating consists in reproducing in the receptor language the closest natural equivalent of the source language message, first in terms of meaning, and secondly in terms of style.

Введение сущность перевода 序言(翻译的实质) Будучи уникальной сферой речевой деятельности, где соприкасаются друг с другом не только разные языки, разные культуры, а порой разные цивилизации, перевод является естественной экспериментальной лабораторией, в которой многие лингвистические теории подвергаются «проверке на прочность».

翻译课的性质、教学目的和任务: 俄汉翻译课是一门俄语专业实践课,但有不完全是实 践课,也要传授必要的理论知识。但理论知识的掌握 实在翻译实践之后,而不是在翻译实践之前。 主要的教学目的在于使学生掌握必要的翻译知识、技 能和技巧。使得学生在未来的工作中能胜任一般性的 翻译工作。 这门课程是在俄语专业基础课、语法等课程结束之后 开设的,所以也就存在另一个认知的目的。是对学生 在前两年的学习,包括基础词汇量的积累和语言知识 的掌握的一个较为全面的检验。也包含扩充知识面的 任务。

Multi-point Perspective


汉英思维方式与语言差异(thinking patterns and language differences)




1.整体与个体(macrocosm vs. individuality) 2.悟性与理性(comprehension vs. rationality :汉语的模糊性(词性模糊、 语义模糊、语言单位模糊) 3.具象与抽象(concreteness vs. abstractness) 4.直觉与逻辑(intuition vs. logic)







(1)忠实:“忠实”指译文要忠实原文,准确表达其 思想,意义和文体风格。 例1:我的成功一半要归功于他。 译文1:Half of my success belonged to him. 译文2:I owed half of my success to him. 例2: 这台发动机出了毛病。 译文1:The generator has got some problems. 译文2:There is something wrong with the generator. 例3:啊!我不是诗人,我永远道不出我的爱,一种像 由音乐与图画所引起的爱。 译文1: Alas, I am not a poet! I shall never express my love, a love which is caused by music and painting. 译文2:Alas, I am not a poet! I shall never be able to express my love--- the kind of love as inspired by music and painting.

例解: 毛泽东诗词 清平乐﹒蒋桂战争 风云突变,
军阀重开战。
洒向人间都是怨, 一枕黄梁再现。
红旗跃过汀江, 直下龙岩上杭。 收拾金瓯一片,
分田分地真忙。
THE WARLORDS FIGHT
Tune: “ PURE SERENE MUSIC ”
A sudden burst of wind and rain:
4. I will show you what I am made of if you give me this first chance.
死译:如果你给我这个机会,我就让你看 看我是用什么做的。 意译:如果你给我这个机会,我就让你看 看我的本事。
翻译练习: 1.生在杭州, 吃在广州, 死在柳州. It is good to live in Hangzhou where one can enjoy beautiful natural sceneries; to eat in Guangzhou where one can eat fabulous dishes and to die in Liuzhou where one can buy the best wooden coffin.
3.翻译的条件 a.第一是译者对于原文文字上及内容上透彻 的了解; 第二是译者有相当的国文程度, 能 写清顺畅达的中文; 第三是译事上的训练, 译者对于翻译标准及技巧的问题有正当的 见解。( 林语堂 )
b. 总之译事虽近舌人, 要以艺术修养为根本:
无敏感之心灵, 无热烈之同情, 无适当之鉴 赏能力, 无相当之社会经验, 无充分之常识 ( 即所谓杂学), 势难彻底理解原作, 即或理 解, 亦未能深切领悟。( 傅雷 )
死译: 意译: 他失去了神经. 他也变得六神无主.
3. He stood gazing forward until the dull rays of the moon sent him back to his room.
死译: 他伫立凝视前方, 直到幽暗的月光把他 送回他的房间.
意译: 他伫立凝视前方, 直到思想过程中沟通不同语 言的桥梁, 使通晓不同语言的人能通过原文 的重新表达而进行思想交流。翻译是把一 种语言(即原语)的信息用另一种语言(即译 语)表达出来, 使译文读者能得到原作者所 表达的思想, 得到与原文读者大致相同的感 受。( 范仲英)
2.翻译的标准 a.译事三难: 信、达、雅。求其信, 已大难矣! 顾信矣, 不达, 虽译, 犹不译也, 则达尚焉。 ( 严复 ) b. 以效果而论, 翻译应当像临画一样, 所求的 不在形似而在神似。( 傅雷 )
2. 树倒猢狲散 直译: When the tree falls, the monkeys scatter. 意译: Rats leave a sinking ship.
1. Nobody grows old merely by the number of years. We grow old by deserting our ideals. 直译: 人不会因为年龄的增长而垂老; 我们垂 老是因为抛弃了理想. 意译: 岁月有加,并非垂老; 理想泯灭,暮年即 至.

1.翻译的定义 a. 翻译是两个语言社会( language community )之间的交际过程和交际工具, 它的目的是要促进本语言社会的政治、 经 济和(或) 文化的进步, 它的任务是要把原 作中包含的现实世界的逻辑映像或艺术映 像, 完好无损地从一种语言移注到另一种 语言中去。( 张今)
The warlords fight again.
Sowing on earth but grief and pain, They dream of reigning but in vain. O’er River Ting our red flags leap; To Longyan and Shanghang we sweep. A part of golden globe in hand, We’re busy sharing out the land.
2.As a youngster, I talked too much. I had the talent for saying the wrong things at the wrong time. I tortured myself because of the foolish things I said. 我年轻的时候很健谈, 善于在错误的时候 说错误的话, 言既出口又懊恼不已.
