研究生英语读写译教程1-18 单元 翻译练习答案
研究生英语读写译教程1-18 单元翻译练习答案Unit 1: Introduction to Translation1. Translation is the process of transferring meaning from a source language to a target language. It involves interpreting and expressing the original message accurately and effectively in the target language.2. Translators need to have a solid understanding of both the source and target languages, as well as a deep knowledge of the subject matter being translated. They must be able to capture the nuances and cultural references present in the source text and convey them appropriately in the target text.3. There are different types of translation, including literary translation, technical translation, legal translation, and scientific translation. Each type requires specific skills and expertise to ensure accurate and contextually appropriate translations.4. Translation involves more than just linguistic skills. Translators must also possess strong research and analytical skills, as well as the ability to adapt to different writing styles and cultural norms.Unit 2: Basic Translation Techniques1. Literal Translation: This technique involves translating each word and phrase literally, without considering the context or cultural nuances. While it may result in accurate translations, it often fails to capture the true meaning and intent of the original text.2. Cultural Equivalence: This technique focuses on finding equivalent expressions or idiomatic phrases in the target language that convey the same meaning as the source language. It takes into account the cultural and linguistic differences between the two languages.3. Adaptation: This technique involves modifying or adjusting certain elements of the source text to ensure a smoother and more natural translation in the target language. It may involve changing sentence structures, idioms, or cultural references to match the target audience.4. Localization: This technique is commonly used in the translation of software, websites, and marketing materials. It involves adapting the translation to the local cultural and linguistic conventions of the target audience. It may include changing date formats, currency symbols, or using region-specific idioms.Unit 3: Translation Strategies1. Skopos Theory: This theory emphasizes the purpose or intention behind the translation. It suggests that translators should prioritize the specific function the translated text will serve, rather than adhering strictly to the source text. The focus is on achieving the desired communication effect for the target audience.2. Text Analysis: Before translating a text, translators should thoroughly analyze its content, structure, and intended audience. This analysis helps to identify important concepts, key terms, and ensure accurate and effective translation.3. Transcreation: This strategy is commonly used in advertising and marketing translations. It involves recreating the source text in the target language while considering cultural and linguistic differences. The goal is to evoke the same emotional response in the target audience as the original text.4. Compensation: Sometimes, certain elements of the source text cannot be fully translated into the target language due to linguistic constraints. In such cases, translators may compensate by adding additional information, footnotes, or explanations in the target text, ensuring that the overall meaning is conveyed accurately.Unit 4: Translation Quality Assessment1. Accuracy: A high-quality translation must accurately convey the meaning and intent of the original text. It should not contain errors, omissions, or distortions that may lead to misunderstandings.2. Fluency: The translated text should be fluent and natural in the target language. It should read smoothly and maintain coherence and cohesion. Awkward phrasing or unnatural word choices should be avoided.3. Cultural Appropriateness: Translations should take into account cultural differences and context. They should be culturally appropriate and avoid causing offense or misunderstanding in the target culture.4. Terminology Consistency: Consistency in terminology is crucial, especially in technical or specialized translations. The translator should use consistent terminology throughout the text to ensure clarity and accuracy.In conclusion, translation is a complex task that requires linguistic proficiency, cultural understanding, and subject matter expertise. Byemploying appropriate techniques and strategies, translators can produce high-quality translations that effectively convey the message from the source language to the target language.。

unit oneText A 如何变“末流”为“一流”:哈佛对捐赠大户的回报1 初春的一个夜晚,暖意融融。
一群公司执行官、律师、石油巨子、理财经纪人、身价不菲的咨询师以及巨额财产继承人,悄然走出查尔斯宾馆和哈佛饭店的套房。
这些商界显要,男的个个头发花白,身着灰色西装──有的拄着手杖,有的则由于长期在哈佛运动队或网球队锻炼,一副运动员身材,充满活力、脸色红润;女的戴着丝巾,身穿苗条的黑色长裤,但其中几乎没有一张黑人和拉美人的面孔,他们穿过一道普通的门,走进安尼博格餐厅。
此次聚会,校内没有通报,媒体也不得报道。
2平常简朴的新生餐厅今天用连翘花和郁金香装点一新,客人们品尝着鸡尾酒、葡萄酒和牛柳、蟹黄蛋糕、芦笋尖等开胃小菜,享受着时任哈佛校长劳伦斯·撒莫斯的殷勤。
有几位客人谈论着海斯特布丁俱乐部最近的那场演出,这个俱乐部是一个学生戏剧协会,每年春天都要上演一场音乐滑稽戏,由哈佛的男生男扮女装参加表演。
3过了一会儿,布置在二楼阳台的哈佛乐队开始演奏“万名哈佛人”,客人们各自入席,烛光晚宴开始。
酒足饭饱之后,客人们兴高采烈,对撒莫斯校长的餐后致词报以阵阵掌声。
唯一例外的是,撒莫斯校长简要介绍学校计划扩大低收入家庭子女的招生,为年收入低于四万美元家庭的子女上哈佛提供免费教育,此时,校长似乎在等待在场贵宾们赞许的掌声,但竟然没有掌声。
我分析,这种令人尴尬的沉默传递了一个信号,甚至可称为威胁:你要是扩大招收低收入家庭的子女而将我们这些人的孩子拒之门外,我们就会停止数以百万计的捐款。
44月8日的这顿晚宴,拉开了哈佛大学学校资源委员会(COUR)2005年年会的序幕。
该委员会或许是高等学校里一个最具财力的顾问团,但鲜为人知,媒体亦少有提及。
实际上COUR不是一般意义上的委员会──它并不正式制定学校政策或发表正式意见──但撒莫斯同其他任何一任哈佛校长一样,离不开COUR的支持。
该委员会成员均为哈佛最大的捐赠人,他们捐赠的资金构成哈佛2005财政年度255亿捐款的主要部分,使得哈佛成为美国高校中收到捐款最多的学校,比位居第二的耶鲁大学高出100亿美元。
